You should choose download. <BR/><BR/>I've been trying to talk Mitch into doing a myspace page for Bike Face. Brian, if you're OK with it, and Chris is OK, I could set that up very easily and give all of you the password.Karen A.

But now, years later, once Karen FINALLY came around to our genius, we are getting the promotional help we need to get this band off the ground once and for all.<BR/><BR/>I forget who did this other, more slick promo shot- the one in the spotlight. I know it was a guy who was going to the local photo technical college, I want to say in Asheboro (?). Mitich is better at remmebering actual history. I make shit up in mind a lot.<BR/><BR/>Hey, these dang links don't work! I want to here these tasty tidbits of US.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Karen.

That was wo...Here's an update from Mitch:<BR/><BR/>Thank you. That was wonderful. The reason why Evan was<BR/>in that photo as well as others in that shoot is<BR/>because of this:<BR/>Eric Shepherd was going to come over and do a photo<BR/>shoot of the band so we could make an official promo<BR/>shot to send out with our demos. It was late Novemeber<BR/>and it was very chilly that day. I got really drunk<BR/>the night before and I had actually slpet in that<BR/>suit. We were to rendez vous at Chris' house on Silver<BR/>Avenue. Evan Smith lived next door. When Eric showed<BR/>up to get the shoot started, Evan came out to get his<BR/>mail in his bathrobe. So, we said "Evan! Come on and<BR/>be in our photo shoot!" We took several photos,<BR/>outdoors, with Evan in the background. We even went<BR/>dontown and had Evan, in his bathrobe, with the<BR/>Christmas parade going by in the background. It was a<BR/>hilarious, surreal photo shoot. The photo that<BR/>actually ended up being the official shot was actually<BR/>one where Evan was not in the shot. We used the one of<BR/>the band close up with a mural of a mermaid that was<BR/>on the side of that seafood store on Lee Street behind<BR/>us. So, Evan was in all truth used as a prop; however,<BR/>he really was like a part of the band in a spiritual<BR/>sense, so he appeared like a spirit..in a<BR/>bathrobe...in the background of the photos.<BR/>Also, that sample of "Ruh-dic-uh-lus" is of Snüzz<BR/>playing with Ben Folds on drums.Karen A.
