When we arrived at Jaam Rek* late one Saturday night this past February, we did not intend to record a live album. We had already played a full show at a different club earlier in the evening. We were exhausted from the start and it was a surprise to see our good friend Steve Kennedy-Williams setting up recording mics on stage. In many ways it was not an ideal situation--rushed from the previous gig, hungry, tired and sick of loading gear from one place to the next...but as has happened many times before, from the first moment of the inaugural drumroll, we secured our connection with the crowd and set off to delightfully exhaust every last ounce of power in our beings.
This isn't the cleanest or prettiest performance we've ever done. In fact, there is little to distinguish it from many of our favorite shows, but that's kind of the point. This is us, getting dirty, for you. And we hope you enjoy it.
