Lünchmeat - Eli Janney demo (pre-Ignition/Soulside/etc.)
POSTED WEDNESDAY 04.28.10
Yes, another deep cut from the Chris Thomson tape dump of '09. And this'n's a doozie.
What we've got here is an 8 song demo by Lünchmeat which was a band that, some would say, is what Soulside became. It features Alexis Fleisig (drums), Scott McCloud (guitar), Bobby Sullivan (vox) and Chris Thomson (bass). Of course, you should know that the members of Lünchmeat went on to form Girls Against Boys, Seven League Boots, New Wet Kojak, Bellini, Circus Lupus, Monorchid and Skull Kontrol. Whew! That's a lot of impressive stuff coming from one band!

This is just yet another one of those tapes that was in the box that Chris gave me that I have absolutely ZERO clue about other than skeletal facts. I mean, yes, I have the split single with Mission Impossible on Sammich, but that. Is. It.
With that said though, I always loved Soulside and was lucky enough to see them a couple of times in the Susquehanna Valley while I was going to school up there. Such an under-appreciated band. And yes, of course, GVSB were (are still?) a spectacular band that I was semi-obsessed with in the early 90's. God, seems like an eternity ago, doesn't it? Sure does to me.

And in the spirit of full disclosure, I'm also including a pretty crap fidelity live show by Lünchmeat for completists, but it was also in Chris's box of tapes that he sent my way. What the heck, right?
Well, there's still much more to go with the Thomson tape archive. Enoy it! We'll make more!
