# Old Bad News Bears song that was only played live once by SH (6/18/2004). This version is the only known fragment left from a rehearsal in Todd's garage in which the police were called due to noise complaints. This fragment captures that moment.

These recordings represent the formative summer of 2003. While no dates are actually known, they're likely from between late June and late August. These are the first recordings with Alex McKay on keyboards and vocals. Chris Stainback had not joined the band yet.
