Cain in Exile
Some nostalgic days when you feel like your mad gee-tar skillz have deserted you, There are always the old tapes from a decade ago, Before there was Myspace and mp3s, There were dudes in garages with three mics, a skanky old mixer and a stereo with the red light on. Recording live and direct into the stereo seems pretty primitive by today's tech-geek standards. It was primitive then too. But it worked. In one take. Once everyone has grown out of the game, And got real jobs, You can always dig out the old school sounds, And remember, Its better to be a has-been, Than a never-was.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Originally Steeve, Rennie and Jimi.... Then Jimi went home and Ash and Russ joined in... Then Russ went South and later Steeve went waaay North and Now Jimi doesn't seem so far away.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not anymore. Not since January 1999 at least. Maybe one day in the distant future...
