The Band Jams (2003)
This was probably our 3rd most popular cassette release, after Diet Band of the Land and The Band of the Land and the Mic that Goes Around Your Neck.
The theme of this one was that me and Beth were having fun with more musical improvisation and experimentation than we’d been doing on our other albums – it has a bunch of more experimental song structures, and a few tracks that are just improvised instrumentals. And some short comedic bits we did in between songs.
In October 2003, shortly after the release of The Band Jams, we had a much bigger jam session at my place to celebrate my 10th birthday, with a lot of musicians from the neighborhood, including people from other bands I was in at the time, and people who’d been guest members of The Band Of The Land at various points. I was able to teach the guests some Band Of The Land songs they didn’t know yet, and a bunch of the people there also made music with Beth for the first time.
Getting so many people in one room and playing Band Of The Land songs with so many instruments inspired me and Beth to get more into multitrack recording, to get that kind of sound on an album – which required a different kind of recording setup and was better suited to CD releases than cassette.
So The Band Jams ended up being one of our last cassette releases, as we set our sights on digital recording and released our first CD, Beach, the next year.
