SK8 OR DIE - NOT IN MY SKATEPARK - 2004 HILLBILLY STEW RECORDS

 SK8 OR DIE 

NOT IN MY SKATEPARK 
2004 CD HILLBILLY STEW RECORDS HBS140 



SK8 OR DIE FROM SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, CONSISTED ON THIS CD, OF BROTHERS BRUCE GLASSES ON BASS AND VOCALS AND REVEREND BRANDAN ON GUITAR AND VOCALS, WITH ADAM SLEEPER ON DRUMS.  THIS CD WAS RECORDED BY ROB LOGIC AND RELEASED ON HILLBILLY STEW RECORDS IN 2004.  SK8 OR DIE PLAYED POP PUNK SONGS ABOUT SKATING (NATURALLY), HATING ROLLERBLADERS, AND RIDING THE BUS.  FROM THE INSERT (WHICH IS SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT TO READ, AS IT IS BLACK TEXT OVER A BLACK AND WHITE BACKGROUND IMAGE): 

"SO IT ALL STARTED IN 1997.  BRUCE AND BRANDAN ARE BROTHERS AND BRUCE PLAYED DRUMS HORRIBLY FOR A SHOW BY BRANDAN'S FIRST BAND, THE SOCIOPATHS.  BRUCE PREVIOUSLY PLAYED IN VARIOUS BANDS THAT YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BETWEEN 1991 AND 1996.  THE SOCIOPATHS NEVER PLAYED A SHOW AGAIN, BUT BRUCE NAD BRANDAN STARTED SHOWING UP IN VARIOUS PUBLIC PLACES, STEALING ELECTRICITY OR USING BATTERIES TO POWER THEIR AMPS, PLAYING COVERS WITH WILD ABANDON, AND CALLING IT RAMONES VS. GODZILLA (RvsG).  AFTER A WHILE WE DECIDED TO MAKE A 'REAL' BAND AND CREATED KELLEY LEAK GOES TO JAPAN (KLGtJ), IN ALL ITS BOOHOO ABOUT GIRLS AND HIGH SCHOOL GLORY, WITH A DRUMMER THEY FOUND DURING A RvsG FIASCO OUTSIDE OF THE DORMS AT SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY.  KLGtJ PLAYED FROM WINTER OF 2000 UNTIL SUMMER OF 2001 WHEN THE ORIGINAL DRUMMER IN THAT BAND DISAPPEARED TO MONTANA A WEEK BEFORE A SHOW.  SO WE GOT SOME CHOAD TO DRUM INSTEAD.  AFTER OUR FIRST SHOW TOGETHER, SOME CHOAD DECIDED HE DIDN'T LIKE THE KLGtJ VIBE, SO WE DECIDED TO DO SK8 OR DIE WHICH WE HAD BEEN THINKING ABOUT DOING FOR A WHILE.  WE PUT OUT A SPLIT 7 INCH WITH OUR FRIENDS THE RUMINANTS IN THE LATE MONTHS OF 2001 AND PLAYED SHOWS.  THEN SOME CHOAD DECIDED THAT WE WEREN'T KISSING HIS ASS ENOUGH, GOT HUFFY THAT WE WOULDN'T TURN INTO AN INDIE ROCK BAND, AND HE QUIT.  THEN WE GOT ADAM IN THE SUMMER OF 2002.  HE USED TO DRUM FOR DANNY TANNER AND WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH BRANDAN.  HE WAS NOT ALL LAME, SO HERE WE ARE."  

IN ADDITION TO DRUMMING FOR DANNY TANNER AND SK8 OR DIE, ADAM SLEEPER ALSO PLAYED IN THE BOISE, IDAHO STREET PUNK BAND N.F.F.U., PERFORMED VOCALS FOR THE SAN DIEGO COMEDIC SCUM ROCK BAND NEVERLAND RANCH HANDS (WHO WERE FEATURED ON BOTH PLASTIC FACT EATERS VOLUME 1 AND PLASTIC FACT EATERS VOLUME 2 CD COMPILATIONS), FILLED IN AS A MEMBER OF SAN DIEGO'S FLAGSHIP PYRATE PUNX BAND BASURA, AND PLAYED IN THE SHORT-LIVED PROJECT S.D.C.  MP3'S RIPPED AT 320 KBPS.
