     I had this one sitting around for a while and I am sure that, at some point, I knew exactly what it was. But that time has long past. Now it's just a CDR with no name and a disturbingly primitive color Xerox cover of two cavemen/Eskimos (hard to tell which) discovering a busted satellite in the snow. After nearly four and a half minutes, I ascertained that this is, in fact, a 'live demo' from Trebuchet, a UK band known for their Grand Funky power-rock and their haphazard marketing plans. For what it is, the fuckin' thing is a rocker, a great and tumultuous bashing of ape-man thuggery, a shameless ode to early 70's belly-over-the-buckle biker sludge. Party Like Crazy is clearly the anthem of the evening, a fist-waving call-to-chaos that practically reeks of beer sweat right through the speakers, but Trebuchet are not one to let go of a solid idea, so variations on the theme roll out pretty relentlessly: Let It Rock, Give Me Rock n' Roll, Punched in the Nuts, etc. I'm guessing this exists because Trebuchet haven't hit the studio yet, so give it a listen via Myspace and wait for the inevitable double-album gatefold.

     I enclosed a rather uninspiring A4 print out with our names on and a picture of King Steven. I guess he lost it..ha ha.
