Marketing

Marketing is a trio with me, Anthony Levin-Decanini (father, formerly in Binges), and Ryan Dunn (of Enemy fame). We first jammed at what was regrettably one of the few Mopery open jam sessions (if you were there you know what I'm talking about). The first recording here is that jam recorded on the zoom h4 and then apparently blown out to shit in Audacity. sounds cool.

Marketing - Mope Jams - January 2009

Anthony Levin-Decanini - Language Master, maybe other stuff?
Ryan Dunn - Reel-to-reel tape machine
Andrew Scott Young - amplified bass/cello? don't remember exactly

Marketing was scheduled to play live on WHPK's Pure Hype in February of 2010 but unfortunately due to circumstances involving mud-wrestling Ryan Dunn couldn't make the broadcast. Anthony Levin-Decanini and I ended up jamming a duo and got a real nice recording of it. I guess I'll still call it Marketing but like I said, sorry, NO DUNN.

some November jams

Did some jamming on Nov 20th with Kyle Price (newish Chicago bro from Buffalo) and Ryley "The Handyman" Walker. Recorded at the Chateau with the zoom h4. Gotta say I'm especially fond of the second track. Vocals! Watch out!

On November 23rd Ben Billington and Jeff "Kent State Alumnus" Host were over for a Naked Island rehearsal. But when that fell through we decided to have some jams. One trio track here and then a duet with me and Billington. Recorded at the Chateau with the zoom h4 of course.

Tiger Hatchery

Basically Tiger Hatchery's first "official" release, Lemon Crystal Sunshine was recorded at the Chateau in 2009 by the ever-capable, Chicago-staple, engineer extraordinaire: Brian Sulpizio. All the info you'd want on it can be found here. I just wanted to provide a decent digital download for all interested.

Tiger Hatchery's first "unofficial" realease was a tape we made for our first tour with UPS packaging, recorded in May 2009 at the Mopery on my zoom h4. I don't even think I have one of these. White tape in a cardboard box with a "Tiger Hatchery" stamp on the spine. Here you go.

And now for some unreleased 'Hatch weirdness. I can't say what all of these are but I'll do my best to you when/where they were recorded.

This first thing here is a jam I don't think we've used for anything but for some reason I have heard a bunch of times. It's some long form shit starting off with a raging drums/sax duet and eventually getting into some dark, heavy electric madness.

ASY - electric guitar, electric bass

ASY

This is a rehearsal of the set I performed on November 6th at Chili's in Chicago. I think the recording turned out pretty well (made on the zoom h4). Made at the Chateau on November 4, 2010. I named it "Nil-Chi-Tso" which is the Navajo code-talker term for "November" but literally it can be translated as "big wind". so there you go.

Andrew Scott Young - Nil-Chi-Tso

ASY - electric guitar, amplified double bass

These are two tracks I made for a VHS tape to be released with video by Nathan Pruitt. The cover art will be done by Rachael O'flynn. As soon as I get a digital copy of the video and the art I'll post them here as well. These tracks were recorded with my zoom h4 and put together in Audacity. The first was made at the Mopery in August and the second at the Chateau on November 11th. To be released on the new Chicago VHS label Loo Tapes.

ASY - acoustic guitar, double bass, percussion

WYOMING

Wyoming is an acoustic duet with me and Ryley Walker. So far, we've only played a few shows but have been jamming and recording a lot with many different musicians. So there's a lot to post. Good news for you! This is the first tape Ryley and I put together. It was recorded at the Mopery with the zoom H4 digital recorder. We made it ourselves and only had about 40 tapes lying around so if you got one, cherish it because you'll be able to ebay that shit one day.

Recently we got to perform on WHPK's Pure Hype show with the Cleveland-born, Chicago-based percussion aficionado J Guy Laughlin. Here are those tracks performed amidst the radio station record stacks at the University of Chicago. They're broken up into weird downloads because of the file size I guess. I don't remember. I uploaded them a while ago.
