Many demos were recorded by Pat Finn around this time, but only one proper Bush demo was recorded as a band, a 4 song tape from [[July 25]], [[1990]], recorded at Mark's house. | Many demos were recorded by Pat Finn around this time, but only one proper Bush demo was recorded as a band, a 4 song tape from [[July 25]], [[1990]], recorded at Mark's house. | ||
==== Rehearsals ==== | |||
Bush rehearsed at various times in the late summer 1990 until late in the year. They booked time at a very low cost rehearsal studio in the Vernon area of the Los Angeles, a meatpacking district. The studio was next door to Farmer John's, a large slaughterhouse. Such were the powerfully bad smells of meat being processed in the area, that they came to call the rehearsal space "The Sausage Factory". Several rehearsals were recorded, including one with Matt Sharp playing keyboards. (Matt would soon thereafter move up to El Cerrito, CA, remaining there until early 1992). Due to Pat and Patrick's time spent with their new friend Rivers, a lifelong vegetarian, they became vegetarian themselves, making the slaughterhouse-adjacent aspect of rehearsing a source of lyrical inspiration, such as in the song "Pigs - Fat As Fuck" | |||

As summer turned to fall, the prospects of Bush playing a show seemed to fade, as Mark's level of involvement and commitment was impossible to gauge and the band did not want to perform without him as a singer. This was unfortunate as most of the bands repertoire was developed instrumentally as a three piece, and they had many songs fully developed and ready to go in that format. | As summer turned to fall, the prospects of Bush playing a show seemed to fade, as Mark's level of involvement and commitment was impossible to gauge and the band did not want to perform without him as a singer.
