The name came from | The band's name came from an original name of "The Wrong Sausage." Apparently, one of the band members said: "No, it can't be just one wrong sausage. It needs to be, like, SIXTY Wrong Sausages!" Learning from previous experience, 60WS did not concern themselves with live shows, but rather focused on a demo tape. Cuomo's small apartment allowed no room for drums, so Wilson put drums to tape using a Roland OctoPad. Friend of the band [[Karl Koch]] said, "The demo took several weeks. Sessions squeezed into school and work schedules." The final demo was called the ''Cholesterol'' EP and contained four tracks. | ||
