it was not to be; can't find the part needed for our humble recorder so a couple mo' weeks...excuses excuses,eh? Hope you enjoy the art 'n shit;could've saved on the download time by making the images compact but that just defeats the purpose,you know? All of the compostions thus far were made by various guys in the band at various stages of development over the last 7 years.In which time we've accomplished very little.We lost some of the "art" over the years;all are in chronological order EXCEPT The collage above,which is fairly recent(cover for "tHe ShAkES"EP late summer 2000) liked it so much for "da pritty collars." I made it with the help of an old friend the night before a gig at chinle...sold/gave away about 25 copies in all(over the months afterwards),some either had 3 songs(2 good ones and a filler) or 10 (5 keepers and 5 fillers),hey at least I'm honest most of these shite bands in the area will blow smoke up your ass with grandiose numbers and self-gratifying reviews oftheir shit,we'd just as well tell you to pull your trousers up and send you on home...Anyway, where was i?
No Cla$$ was the first incarnation back in 1995 when most of us were was still in high school.
I(strings) was in my first year as dropout,Joe(strings)) was fixing to, Almo(percussions) was on the way, and Nick(vox) was sticking it out. We were VERY garagy.We recorded countless improvised tunes onto cheap boomboxes,most of which were forgettable,though we did not try to "be" bands we liked(YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE).Ahhh fuck it every rocknroll band tries to emulate somebody,but you can just tell when a band is fake...One of the jems in the Nick-era both lyrically and musically was CANCER STICK , a pro-smoking tune that will be included on the disc.A few gigs came up but we didn't rehearse anything beforehand,aside from a few covers or riffs of our own that we'd pawn off as songs,so the spontaneity was both a blessing and a curse,more of the latter. In 1997 Nick moved away to Oklahoma where he'd be for the next few years.Surprisingly, We did not have to look for a replacement,enter Moroni Fulton.
