Jellyfish fans,

We have just posted our cover of one of the rarest, most obscure Jellyfish tracks.  Please check out US artist DiEL's excellent cover of "Runnin' For Our Lives"! 

Other than our cover, "Runnin' For Our Lives" is only available on the Not Lame Records "Fan Club Box Set" in demo form.

Did you know:

-The track was originally written by Andy and Roger with Cheap Trick's Robin Zander in mind to be the singer(!)

-The track was recorded with the thought that it might be used in conjunction with the Summer Olympics - thus all of the cheesy sports cliches in the lyrics...

-The direction given for the guitar solo in the Jellyfish version was to "imagine that you are standing on the edge of a cliff with the wind blowing though your hair..."

-Our cover is mixed by none other than Steve Fisk - legendary producer of Nirvana, Soundgarden, and The Posies.

-DiEL has done a great job re-inventing the song - it has a white soul feel to it and it's hard to imagine Robin Zander singing it... :)

-We maintained the Cliff Edge Guitar Solo Feel and brought in famed Louisiana guitarist Rick Naqvi and asked him to out-wank the original guitar solo... he did!

Hope you like it - I love every track on this record... :)

Cheers,
Alan

p.s.  We'll be posting more tracks, as well.  These songs were made for summer!

Out-wanked indeed!
