Ingus saw Jackopierce live in 92 and fell in love. This is his attempt at writing a song like they would. It’s from the Christmas 93 show at the Capitol Cafe.

Dying Days (demo)

Dying Days (demo)

four-track demo of the song Dying Days. Oddly enough, while we did record it several times, this is the only version that made it to fans in any purchasable form.

May (The Pirate Song) (Demo)
