The Belgian Waffles!'s psychedelic album is a bad trip . . . no incense and peppermints here.  Dripping in noise and paranoia, this was the sound in our heads, a document of times most of us are happy we left behind.  Featuring young Sarah Lund, later of Unwound.

Chet Chmielewski - keyboards, turntables; Sara Lund - drums;  Matt Whitaker - bass;  Tony Woollard - voice, guitar;  Bill Zink - guitar.  With: Vid - trumpet, commentary on "John Lithgow",  Ian Rans - extra feedback on "Orpheus, Dig?"

Recorded in Muncie, Indiana, January 27th, 1990, by Jeff Weiss

These recordings were more or less forgotten as soon as they were finished.  It wasn't long before Dan and Heather joined up, and our sound took another radical shift.

Recorded live March 28, 2003, at the Rudyard Kipling in Louisville during the Mother Lodge festival/benefit.  It was an insane logistical situation, so (with the exception of Matt) we left everything except the horns at home.  Borrowed drums, borrowed bass amp, & we're on our way.

Heather Floyd - soprano sax, trumpet; Matt Whitaker - bass; Chris Willems - tenor sax; Dan Willems - alto sax; Tony Woollard - cornet, flute; Bill Zink - drums.

<3 <3 Thanks for all the inspiration. Now i "Burn in heaven" rather than rot in hell.

downloading the dead...crunch a&^ sh&^. Moderately inspirational if you have been on psychedics for more than 20 times in your life. Pre-2005 equals more bass throbbing.
