Notes:
This recording is ALL DRUMS; vocals and guitars are very low, though the backing tracks are nearly as loud as the drums. I'm to blame for this recording's flaws, as I left the recorder on the stage way too close to the drums (dude plays loud...REAL loud!). Truthfully, this bad boy would be great fodder for a matrix if anyone else bothered to tape this set... I was hoping the pair would play one of their White Stripes covers, i.e., something off the last Supergrass album, har har. (Pretty sure Gaz raided Jack White's closet when dressing himself up for this show.) When they started that Beatles [sic] cover (yawn), I turned to my companion and soberly declared, "What a dirty trick," to which she replied, "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" Fuck the Drab Four. They turned rock 'n' roll into trading cards. Speaking of which, 3 crummy cell phone pics are included. Anyway, do your best to enjoy this, chumps.

PLAY LOUD.

With regards to the distribution of this recording, I only ask that you try real hard not to spread it around as MP3 files; otherwise, do what thou wilt.
