This Is US:(okay, maybe it's Rodge and Podge from Ballydung. Check below for the real us..)
The Band That Doesn't Exist Wasn't really formed, and we never really were a band, Except for the fact that we play music together. We Are More of A "Project" to overuse a Cliche. The truth is, we are not the sort of people who do theese things because we need to make a living, so we're having lots of fun, And the end result was a music thing that turned into a C.D. and is constantly evolving. So far, We're still pretty rough around the edges, but polish comes with age, and we don't have either.

Composed of the two Producer-type guys and the two Musician type people, Mike and Caspian, as well as the Invisible 3Jim Zaizan (the resident engineer) and a few other people who happened to pop into the studio while we were recording (not Mike OR caspian), The band's main goal (aside form Making Music) was to have a good time, and spread mirth in the world. To this End, the band has preformed at a party or two, and on a parade float (st.Patrick's Day, Montreal, 1998) where Caspian lost a Tooth, but kept playing. People like this band, when they get to hear them. Here are a few comments on our latest work:
"hey.... What the hell is this?!" (unnamed drunkard in a local pub)
"on either side of the atlantic, Music Critics are laying down the superlatives and calling this C.D. the best of it's kind....." (Caspian's Mom)
"wow... That was Great. Same time next week?" (heard in the next bathroom stall)

As You can See, We're a Very Serious Band.

In the future, the Band plans to sit around and think about our future. Maybe, We'll produce another C.D., or maybe we'll become the band that DOES exist, And
have to get a new web page and stuff. Or, we could become the next big thing, But that'll never happen unless you apply certain well know laws of Quantum physics.... and then we'd be Immesurable!

Imagine a chilly December day in 1995. Two young men, in a vain attempt to avoid people, hide away in their school and play Truckin'. Later on, they spend countless hours improvising and jamming, inventing songs and refining them. Little did they realize that, through a combination of Caspian's experience in recording, Mike's suggestable nature, and the lowering cost of CD burners, they would one day be able to immortalize these sounds in the form of this album. Mind you, knowing this probably wouldn't have stopped them anyway. This album comes from influences too numerous to list, and jam sessions too silly to relate. Somehow, through a combination of luck, planning and goodwill, we managed to scrape together these seven songs. They tell the story of a time when we could do whatever the hell we wanted, and not worry about who or what was listening. And we'll never have that recipe again.Oh no.

1. Squidge (The Celtic Song) - 4:23 Guitar - Mike Bass - Cas Violin - Matt Percussion - The Rhythm Automaton

4. Particle Accelerator - 3:18 Metal Guitar, Bass - Mike Rhythm Guitar, Drum Sequencing - Cas

7. The Cat Came Back - 4:21 Bass, Percussion, Vocals and Humming- Cas Guitar, Garbage Can, Vocals - Mike Extra Vocals - Ronan

All of the songs on this album are copyrighted as of 1999 - Existential Angst Records and the Badass Rebel Nasty Pirate Media Company except for The Cat Came Back, which we sincerely hope is public domain.

Mike wants to thank - Mom, Dad and Chris, Orealis, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Martin Tielli, Matt and Matt, Pat (just the one),Marie, Don, Ronan, Rodan, Shirley Fischlin, Alex Lifeson, and all of the friends that were forced to listen to these songs in themonths before the album was finished.

Caspian will thank whomever he damn well pleases. (Everybody, especially Malcolm, Mooze, Ronan, Sarah, Marie, What Slave, and a bunch of peple who only exist in my own mind... 3jIm, this is for you!!)

Thanks in particular to Matt McEvoy, who played and wrote the violin part on Squidge, and Matt Watson, who wrote the rhythm guitar part for The Cat Came Back. He was supposed to play it, but you know how things get messed up. Many thanks also go to Kirk, Bill and Dave, Yuji the most Irish Japaneese guy We've ever met, the MacLeods, the Ayleses and the Kilkellys, and Ronan for the spot on back ups on the Cat Came Back, and the Crew at CIXS... They will always be over the edge of college radio.

This album was produced and mixed by 3jIm Zaizan over an embarassingly long period of time - and The Band That Doesn't Exist helped! The cover art was programmed by Don Campbell, who also helped with the layout of the liner notes. Thanks also to the good folks at CIXS, Dawson College Radio for allowing us the use of their studios.
