Heir Apparent was a great band too!!
I liked the most before Steve Benito got into the band, but his recordings are good too (there's a demo where all goes wrong for him, but I guess that happens). By the way, they're from Seattle too?! Amazing scene, huh?
...About the Coven incident. There was a concert I was playing with an old local band, on my little county hometown some years ago. The concert was played over a fruit truck, it could not go right... The drummer accidentaly wrapped up his sticks on a rope which was swingin' over beacuse of the precarious stage "turbulance", with that movement he kicked the floor tom which felt sideways and started rolling along the stage. We were actually in the middle of a song, and by the time that the floor tom reached my position onstage I just couldn't stop laughin', it was surely an entertaining evening, hah.
'Just heard about that SN compilation. I just can't think about it as a slot machine anyway....
