Here are two tracks that feature only a portion of the band.  The first is a live recording from December 2001.  As I mentioned earlier, the band went a long time between shows after the El Mocambo show in December 2000.  As 2001 was coming to a close, it was decreed on principle that there had to be a public showing for posterity and morale so Blake and I headed to the Old York Tavern, acoustic guitars in hand.  We played a three song set that included this one, “I Let You Down”, that was never recorded or played live again.  It’s a great tune and there are a lot of ambient ‘atmospherics’ from the bar that add to the vibe.  The Old York had a good scene going on Wednesday nights and it was fun enough that we did the whole thing again (with three new songs) about 7 months later.

I Let You Down

The second song is Blake’s acoustic demo of Ascension.  We did play this one as a full band several times (in fact, I think we even played it at the Old York), but it works just as well with Blake and his guitar.  That’s the mark of a great tune.  I’m not exactly sure of the recording date, but I’m going to guess 2001 (?).
