Screaming Trees – Strange Things Happening – The Ellensburg Demos 1986-88 Vinyl LP

Description

Ellensburg, Washington is known for the worlds 3rd largest three-day rodeo, 90s NFL legends Brian Habib and Drew Bledsoe and as the hometown of seminal Northwest band Screaming Trees. In the late 80s, Ellensburg residents were often confronted with the strangely primitive sounds of the band emanating from their headquarters in the back room of the Conner familys Main Street store, New World Video. Here was the scene of creation of songs from the bands early Velvetone and SST albums. During this prolific time, much of the bands music never made it beyond their own ears but was fortunately captured on Gary Lee Conners 4 track cassette recorder. Those cassettes have survived, intact, down to this day and have now made their way to this recording. So now, transport yourself back to New World Video, in late 80s Ellensburg, and hear the weird things happening
