Eat Music Not Meat - Rabbit Choir EP

Fueled by the success we had playing Eugene, we completed recording Eat Music Not Meat at Live Oak Studio in North Berkeley. We took the name and the cover art from a flyer that Aubrey did for us the Summer of 1988. Armed with our new EP (cassette tape only) we booked shows in San Diego (I can’t remember where – maybe this was our first show at Winston’s Beach Club in Ocean Beach), a show at the Whiskey-a-Go-Go in LA and another show at WOW Hall.

The new Chevy Van we bought blew a transmission on the drive down, then it blew the engine in while in San Diego. (“Never buy a van that catches on fire on the way home,” words to live and grow by from Stacie Black). Once in San Diego, Robert Finn signed on to be our manager and immediately proved his unstopability by booking us a show on one day notice. It was at a brothel, but still – it showed some moxy.

This is the EP Eat Music Not Meat, recorded early 1989. This is the last recording with Joaquin on drums.
