This was a small CD release party for their new album, "The Dropper," for record execs and friends of the band. There were about 20 people there, and the band played in the small wooden "shack" that they recorded the album with, with the front and back removed so people could watch. Because of the limited space and accomidations (and we weren't sure if the band would approve), it was recorded on an AIWA Mini-Disc, with a condensor mic placed on top of Medeski's Moog. The band faced each other in a triangle formation, so this is the best we could do with what we had, but the sound is still great and you can tell the intimate setting.
