Santa Barbara, Ca. (Circa 1994) Wasted Tape began as a recording project in 1992 with long time comrades and band partners Bruce Winter and John Askew (The Lance Vegas Show). With the growing need to work with a drummer and further the possibility of playing live, drummer Erik Herzog (Old Man) joined the fold. After only a few months of experimenting and playing, the trio recorded The Millennium Falcon and released it on their own Degobah Records (1993). Very soon after, came the 16 song release Lando Calrissian again released on Degobah Records in 1994. Wasted Tape began to play live regularly up and down the West Coast, and did 2 U.S. tours (supporting the likes of Toad The Wet Sprocket, Lemon Heads, The Grays etc.) Tracking for the 3rd album persisted over the next few months and writing continued. However after starts and stops along the way, in 1995 Wasted Tape stopped playing live and soon things came to a slow, once again, recording-project, pace. Over the next few years as other projects unfolded (aside from engineering and playing on tons of recordings, Bruce had FLAPPING, Flapping, flapping, John and Erik formed Cooler and The National Set and then joined the already in motion Model Engine) the 3rd Wasted Tape album was indefinitely postponed. In 1996, Wasted Tape was asked to write and record music for a cartoon that was in the works. The recordings took place March 14 and March 20 1996 over the warehouse at Herzog’s work. The live sessions were all instrumental with only a few overdubs to complete.
