about

Welcome to The Damn Frontier. Recorded live at Mike and Myshkin's house down in the mighty ninth... November 22-23rd, 1998... gee the sun really does shine at 11:30... Fueled by lots of coffee... lots of smokin'... Myshkin's blackbean burritos on day on... Hank's po-boys and gumbo on day two... and beer for dessert. To Mike Mayeux, Mike West and Myshkin we can never say enough thanks. This is our first CD... we sincerely hope that you have half as much fun listening to Liar's Bench as we had making it...
