Recorded the weekend of August 31st, 1996 at Channel One Studio on Clifton Road, Atlanta by Jimmy Ether. Music tracked live to DAT. Originally the music was dubbed down to cassette 4-track and the vocals overdubbed (mostly live at once) to the remaining two tracks. For this reissue, the cassette vocal tracks were re-synced to the original music master, remixed and remastered. Reissue work done by Jimmy Ether September/October of 2010 at Headphone Treats.
In 1996, The Big Ragoo was formed as a side project by three members of the Atlanta post-punk band Monkey Boy. Jimmy Ether, Ken Whitener and Shawn Christopher -- all prolific songwriters -- would rotate instruments with the principal songwriter playing guitar. Lyrics were written communally based on what each member thought the others were singing, resulting in both interesting motifs and complete absurdity. Musically, the trio pulled heavily from the influence of Trumans Water, fIREHOSE, Soul-Junk, Sebadoh and Archers of Loaf.
14 years later... maybe... just maybe... they're reform to yet again bring the rock. Your purchase of this record will help make that happen.
