60 Wrong Sausages: Difference between revisions

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.

60WS held only seven practices in total between [[October 20]] and [[November 20]] of 1991, all at a cheap, filthy, and very popular with young starving bands rehearsal place called Fortress in Hollywood. The band rehearsed the performances of their ''Cholesterol'' material as well as new songs like "[[The Barnaby Jones]]", "[[Tennis Ball]]" and "[[Run the Gamut]]". Additionally, old [[Bush]] songs like "[[Beyond Life]]" and "[[Crayon Man]]" were rehearsed. Rivers' own [[Fuzz]] songs "[[Answer Man]]" and "[[Burn My Britches]]" were rehearsed and finally, the Wilson/Finn song "[[Sheriff Wong]]", which was a song about a member of law enforcement who carried a bong.

Over Thanksgiving weekend 1991, the band stayed at Finn's mom's house in Petaluma, and 60 Wrong Sausages played the Phoenix Theater, it's only gig. Matt Sharp, then living in El Cerrito CA (near Berkeley), attended this show, and was captured on video yelling "WHO HOLDS THE SCEPTER?" to the band between songs. (Jason Cropper replied through the PA: "I am the bearer of the scepter"). Shortly after this show, the band was no more. Around that time, Koch wrote "band breakup seems inevitable."
