In the summer of 2012, I invited my sister to visit on the vague premise of "getting her opinion on something"; when she arrived I handed her an electric guitar and forced her play it: something which she had never attempted to do before. At first I had her play along to a rhythm track I had created earlier by using one of her dogs as a hand drum, then I switched her to a longer backing rhythm played on a conventional drum kit. After several runs using a variety of effects settings, I exchanged the guitar for an electric bass and we started the process over again. This is the second track that has resulted from those sessions -- mostly using the drum kit recordings, but a little modified extract of the dog drumming makes an appearance in the middle section. Big thanks to my sis, who took up the challenge with enthusiasm and unleashed her own unique brand of rock 'n roll armageddon.
Originally one side of the irr./AJR split cassette ‘For You And Telly Savalas’, which was only available as part of the 66 copy boxed edition of the ‘Night Wearing Feathers’ LP, released by Black Horizons in February 2013.
