1/13/96. Chicago, IL. Empty Bottle. This incarnation of the band (DylanPhilJeffThymme)
had been together for a year and three months by this point, and were really beginning to gel as a unit. Rousing renditions of “Even Has A Half-Life” (yes, that’s Azita Youssefi, who was at every show, demonstrating how this song is indeed a dance tune) and “When Clowns Go Bad” were performed that evening. As seen/heard here. And this was the one and only time Carl Palmer joined in.

Kenzie, a high school student in Chicago, is in need of some math tips.
However, that’s not Phrog’s best subject.
This is what happens when Mike Hagedorn warms up his
trombone as an improvisation breaks out. (Why ever allow
a second to pass without turning it into art?)
Touching Bruises/Chasing Ghosts
Thymme Jones- piano, voice, synthesizers, drums
Technical note: You may have to turn this one up a bit louder than the
other monthly toons up to this point. Todd Rittmann, our mastering Master,
has been joyously/magically busy at this particular juncture (for reasons that
you’ll either know or not know), and we did not wish to bother him about this
track. We will bother him at a later date when we are compiling all or some
or most of these songs for Some Sort Of Vinyl Thing (or whatever physical
medium of our choosing) sometime in our nebulous future.
Jack Sue Highway from CHEER-ACCIDENT on Vimeo.
6/13/05. Rock Island, IL. Just this side of the Illinois/Iowa border, at the Brew And View.
First we have Cheer and his pal, Accident, kicking the night off by heading up the Jack
Sue Highway, then they’re joined by Todd Rittmann for some improvisatory Hell, then
Alex Perkolup joins in on Serious Bass… and then Todd cuts a rug (after cutting up
the earthworm) for a segment of “Everyone’s Ugly Up Close.” Sorry about the occasional
glitch; our Sony Hi-8 camera was dying a slow death on this tour. Also, it’s very dimly
shot… but it’s totally worth it!
