25 Years Of Local H

MARCH 1993
What now? Without a bass player, we head right back into the Shoes studio with Jeff Murphy to record our heaviest set of songs yet. Four tunes: Strict-9, a second version of Mayonnaise And Malaise, Feed (a song we'd been playing with Matt, except tuned down now) and Sports Bar. Except for Feed, the songs are a bit more complex than what we'd been doing – and melody is starting to creep back into the mix. Strict-9, especially, shows us fusing our black hole riffage with tunefulness and a renewed sense of song craft. Also note the soon to be abandoned Dear Prudence quote at the end. Scott's handling the bass parts, but the band hasn't yet hit on the idea to be a full-fledged duo. As a result, the songs aren't designed for a two-piece band - there's too much reliance on guitar solos and non-unison guitar and bass parts - and playing live isn't much of an option. The search for someone to replace Matt is half-hearted at best. Our roll has officially slowed. It should be noted, that during this time, a third person began hanging around at practice sessions. God's gift to rock was already in the house.
