Many years ago I took a trip out to the west coast. It was a whole lot of fun. During the trip I made the discovery of a Mexican rock band called Los Dug Dug's who would change my world forever. But that part of the story has been told many times. The rest of the story has never been fully told... until now.
Thanks to the support and encouragement of the very dedicated Brazen fan and supporter Matthew Moyer, who went crazy over a tape of recordings from the trip which once belonged to our dear, departed mutual friend William Berger, I am finally telling the full, untold story of that trip. And with that in mind, Matthew and I are proud to announce the official release of WEST COAST 1988 on Popnihil. Admittedly it's a bit of a departure from the label's usual electronic and experimental music fare (much of which is really quite good -- I suggest anyone into that sort of thing check out my new labelmates Jackie Ransom, Fjshwjfe and Von Nacht sometime), but it's nice to be the one chosen to break the mold, so to speak!
WEST COAST 1988 is now available in both cassette and digital forms. The cassette comes with a 16-page booklet which tells the story of the trip and the project in Brazenblog form, and the download includes the booklet in handy PDF form. This project took Matthew and I nearly a year to complete and get out there, and I think you will find it was well worth our time... and yours.
