my
adult life with various international bands and artists. A

styles, have played for crowds up to 45,000 people, received several awards recognizing
my dedication to
excellence in music and the arts, and my last gig was early 2008,
where I performed

 Dec
5 2007 4:42 PM - Bishop Steel Comment
I randomly searched your band name…and…WOW! Please excuse
me, I need to recover from the shock of seeing your presence
in the teenage wasteland known as MySpace. OK, a comment
containing a Bishop Steel story, as everyone must have one:
My friend and I were in a record store in Holland in 2002,
and the bastard stumbled across your 1990 EP for only 7 Euro
BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE TO FIND IT. SEVEN FUCKING EURO! So,
instead of slapping him in a fit of jealous rage in the
middle of a store in a foreign country, I decided to behave
and wait until we got home so we could both enjoy it. And my
fucking god, “Lonely Days” is one of the most mesmerizingly
beautiful tracks I have ever heard. Brilliant, brilliant,
brilliant. Absolutely crushing, both in sound and in spirit.
I love the hell out of that EP, and I wish it were MINE.
And that is my story.

Lost tracks I found on
cassette that were never released
Wish I had the masters
to all 9 songs!
The Quality is poor
because of the cassette noise
I wrote and recorded every note of these
tracks
Picture - The Station (Orlando, FL 1992)
Update (10/27/08): All 9
songs from these sessions are now being remastered and
should be ready for upload in the next two weeks. So check
back soon..... |
