THE LA-STORY
1989-1990

Fall concert in Old Playmakers Theatre... We opened the concert by strutting out on stage, one by one, to AC/DC's "Back in Black." (Mary Beth's idea.) That spring we somehow managed to procure Hill Hall, following a "beer can in the green room" incident from a few years earlier that was supposed to have banished us for life. Our first tape, Lorelei, was recorded in the spring of 1990 and released that summer. We recorded it in one day in Daniel Ingram's basement, standing in two lines facing forward (loud mouths in the back!) with two floor mikes. Back then we thought is was really cool to intersperse random snatches of conversation from the recording session in between the songs. It made for a lot of confusing inside jokes!
