SNUGGLE is one of those bands, the bands you love that nobody else gets.
I've seen them play in the basement of the FBK so many perfect times,
the best times, the worst times, the drunkest times. Mad Dog 20/20 and
shotgunning Sparks is what happened. A long time ago, SNUGGLE thought they
might get paid to play a show or maybe they were surprised by getting
paid? Regardless, they spent all that money on Mad Dog. I'm sure they got
paid a few times on tour and didn't buy all their friends booze with the
money, but that's the way it goes. They recorded this and lost it. like
really fucking lost it. They had to re-record it because everybody they
had given a copy to had also lost it. A real time and a place band. The
2000's in the basement of the FBK was SNUGGLE's time
and I'm not sure why I have a copy of this lost recording, but if you'd
like you can too.
Rumor has it that Robert 'found' this at a coffee shop in Philly a year
after it was considered a lost cause. I dunno. I guess this is like the
demos for the LP that finally came out eventually on 1234 GO, Don't buy
that, just download this.
is this the split with bent outta shape?
