Our fans are a far-flung lot and our band is very young.
Although some of you may have seen us play live as individuals or in different bands, not all have had had the chance to see us play a show as this band. We toured Michigan this summer, but we know that our fans live everywhere. So when GBS Detroit approached us with the opportunity to record a live E.P., we were intrigued by the (weird!) idea and all its possibilities.
As fans of "Let It Be" and GBS' quest to record and promote local artists playing live, we were all in.
'When Will They Learn?' performed live at GBS Detroit
With the support of our fans (via Kickstarter), we got our green light.
We rode the hand-operated elevator of the Russell Industrial Center up to candy-colored Groovebox Studios on Oct. 6, 2011. We played for a tightly packed room full of fans and supporters, all buoyed by the power of live and raw rock music, Michigan craft beers, and Faygo.
GBS is committed to the "one band, one room, one take" philosophy and we hope you can hear the challenge, electricity, nerves, excitement, and spirit of this philosophy in the recordings.
You can download the EP here on Bandcamp from today. Please let us know what you think! And if you like what you hear, kick it up a notch and come see us play live on future tours! We're taking this show on the road again in 2012...
