Don't Try to Steal My Thunder: The EP

#1: Don't Try to Steal My Thunder (Radio Edit) (2.58 MB)
Kevin Duffy's daughter does guest vocals, overdubbing words that rhyme with thunder in the place of the curse words. I think we might have the next Hillary Duff on our hands. (lyrics)

#2: Schizo (4.42 MB)
A break-up song in reggae style. Featuring the rock-steady drum stylings of the Duffman. (lyrics)

#3: Make Another Day (4.48 MB)
A tour-de-force that features Doug Gay on the vibraphones and Chas Justus on the guitars. Threadshaped did an excellent job remastering this song. (lyrics)

#4: Don't Try to Steal My Thunder (2.45 MB)
Wash my mouth out and plug the kids' ears, because this is the version with all the cursing and swearing. That's Denton Hatcher on the nasty lead guitar. (lyrics)

Back in the summer of 2002, Mike Waugh Brand© Music went into Sockit Studios to record a four song demo. Due to Mike's inexperience as a producer and some unexpected technical glitches we got through three songs, without the vocals and without most of the guitar solos. We finished up at the LSU School of Music Studio, but our masters were accidentally erased before the final touches were applied. We were able to salvage the rough tracks enough to be listenable. Here they are, presented to you at a price you can afford: FREE.

Bonus Track: Live at Chelsea's, 2002

If you got rheumatism, aches and pains--this is the song for you. Sing along with the choir and be healed! Can you say falafel and baba ganouj? Recorded live at Chelsea's by Alan and Jason back in 2002. (lyrics)
