Some things are not meant to be and the world is better off for it

I found this drawing of the schematics of an (extremely) short-lived band that was put together by me and David after The Entire Asian Population ended.

David was playing a cheap little keyboard wired up out of its headphone jack through a RAT pedal into a Fender Bassman 300 (essentially a Sunn 300T aka the biggest bass amp known to man and alien) and an ampeg fridge. I wired up my drum machine through a zvex fuzz factory, big muff, and holy grail reverb pedal through a marshall half stack to make noise and sound effects in between 'songs', and would leave them running while playing drums, with the kit mic'd up through the delay unit on the PA.

We flew too close to the sun that day my friends.

It was the most productive team meeting in 2009

The Entire Asian Population, Part IV(?)

Like Star Wars, I'm going to start the tunes at a point where a whole bunch of non-essential stuff had already happened before, that you may or may not care about at some point in the future.

At this stage, The Entire Asian Population was me, David, and Leigh from Scul Hazards. Leigh joined the band after the original drummer Raul broke his foot, and I think we had a few shows booked so Leigh did us a massive favour, and also the dude is a shithot drummer, as anyone who's seen Scul Hazards can confirm.

We stuck a couple of mics around the room we practised in at Karma Studios in Stoke Newington and outputted the mixing desk to a digital recorder. These are the best 2 cuts from that day, sometime in June 2009. E-drone was an Oroku Saki track, one of the first ones we ever did. We later re-recorded these 2 tracks plus 3 more so hopefully I'll post them at some point. There has been talks of Leigh maybe putting vocals on them - that would be rad.

Despite this being a vanity site, there are no decent photos of TEAP with this lineup.

We played a few good shows with Leigh in summer of 2009, and then called it a day because Sculs were moving back to Brisbane, where they are now. David filled in for them on bass for their last few London shows.
