about

Recorded in Kansas City, MO by Drew Van Wagner on an eight track DAT machine in his basement. The first session was in late November 2000 just to get some ideas down. I flew up there on two other weekends and it was mixed on the third, tracking up to the very end. Chris Van Wagner was a very good sport because I told him he needed to play drums after I got there, surely ruining two of his weekends. The album was mostly an acoustic demo and it was recorded on Locust Street. We thought Locust Avenue sounded more interesting, so that's what we called the project.
