DESCRIPTION:
1st song, 1st performance, December of 1995. Improvised live on stage at
Metropophobobia in Phoenix, Az. Completely unrehearsed, in fact band members had never played together before at all. This spontaneous song generation became the M O for the band's frequent artspace and coffeehouse performances through the end of 1996 (when it survived personnel changes and morphed into ELEVEN:05) and beyond until it's demise at the turn of the century. Original core members here: Robert Hargett-guitar, Doug Hotchkiss-vocal & percussion, Greg Roberts-drums, Dave "Bumble" Rentz-percussion. Audio recording by Peter Ragan.
An extensive collection of recordings of the 'bobia performances is available for free listening and download at the Internet Archive (archive.org - search "metropophobobia").
