Cleaning up my studio tonight, I found an undated CD labeled "Shu new song". There hasn't been one of them in a few years, so I knew this was a find! LOL
If I had to guess, it is probably from about 2001. We had recently rejoined after a 3 year hiatus. Matt Carl had not gotten back with us yet. He did a couple of years later.
LISTEN HEREAnyway ... If I am right about the 2001 estimate.... this is Todd Haviland on bass, Eric D Hamell on drums, Bryan Mull on guitar, and me on guitar and vox. It is obviously a recording from one of our practices. It's a safe bet that this is the only time we ever played this song. It's pretty groovy too. Creepy, a little. Not our usual fare. Being that it is a practice, the performance and recording are both a bit sloppy... but not too bad. :) Though it has no title that I know of... listening to my lyrics, I'd prob call it "Vultures" or "Feeding Time". With Shu... I usually made words up as I went along in practice, so don't look for any meaning. If there ever was going to be any, it would have come after we played it a few more times... which never happened.
Soooo.... maybe it will live again someday. Or... I guess it does, now... here. We're still all the same 5 guys today. Still family, still friends. Although we only play about once every two years, as opposed to the 4 nights a week back in the day. LOL... I think all five of us like to think that we are still a band. :) As a matter of fact, you may see us pop up sometime this summer.
