OK, here's the background on the EP.

Several of the EP tracks are songs that would have been part of our debut LP for TVT Records.   After a crazy producer search (flying to Connecticut to meet with Bob Ezrin; flying to LA, where we stayed at the W Hotel and met with Todd Rundgren; working with AC/DC producer Mike Fraser at Bryan Adams' Warehouse Studio in Vancouver; demoing a song with Gilby Clarke from Guns and Roses at his studio in Los Angeles; working with that Raiders fanactic Matt Hyde at the Armoury in Vancouver), we bunkered down with Dave Cobb at Hollywood Sound Recorders in Los Angeles for a six weeks.  Dave is from Georgia, and has produced Shooter Jennings and Jamey Johnson.  He's a first-rate guitarist with killer gear (we used a real '59 Les Paul on a bunch of these, as well as my '58 Tele).  We ended up fighting with TVT (who didn't?) and the record never came out: we couldn't agree on a mixer, and they bailed on plans our then-manager Allen Kovac made to mix with Steve Thompson (Appetite for Destruction, Milk and Honey) in rural Massachussets.

The demo, "Never Make A Fool of Me", chronicles the circumstance related above: watching something you've put everything into fall apart because of professional incompetence, arrogance, and ignorance.

And the new song, "Shangri-La", is from our upcoming LP, recorded to tape (listen for the tape hiss!) with Shawn Cole at Mushroom in Vancouver.  It's a serious record, with heavy jams and the best songs we've written---from Everly Brothers ballads to James Gang slide guitar rockers---just wait and see.
