Mysterious sludge-noise rock collective Human Adult Band return to Already Dead with 'Trash Pickin' & Stained Pocket Tee', a 10 year anniversary cassette reissue of the band's legendary 'Trash Pickin'' 7" with a slew of extras, including demos, rehearsals and a full live set captured in Providence, RI. Here's what Human Adult Band leader T had to say about the release:
"Details about the 2014-ish Trash Pickin' line up....this is roughly Kyler's 2nd era w us, on drums. Kyler plays drums like whipping an unyielding pudding, per Phil. Makes for a idiosyncratic sound. This line up (which also includes Phil & Chaz on gtrs and me on bass/vox) played a bunch of New Brunswick, NJ basement shows & bars and we did the "Stained Pocket Tee" tour which hit NYC and New England...Silent Barn (Queens w/ Embarker), Raw Meat Fest (Boston) and P.R. Matrix Hex (Providence w/ Suicide Magenets & Russian Tsarlag) were all on the itinerary. Chaz powered a disc man and computer speaker off his car battery for travel tunes. He had Shakedown Street on repeat. When Phil dozed and then woke again, Chaz had Sepultura on but as soon as he noticed Phil was awake he put Shakedown Street back on. The morning after the final gig Chaz woke T saying "it's bone time'. T was groggy and not into it, until Chaz explained bone time means he went out and bought coffee and breakfast from Dunkin Donuts for everybody. Bone time=bunk bone=dunk dougn=dunking donuts. That's the thought process. Trash Pickin got a lot of air, esp on WPRB, Princeton and the single sold well esp in NJ & Philly. The many +reviews that sprang up kinda put us on the map, beyond being just a one-good-single type of band. Byron Coley dubbed us geniuses for this one. MRR put it on their top 10. Another track from this era, 'Take it Off', we've ony played live maybe 4 times w/ Wendy Suicide Magnets on vox. Wendy and the band rehersered it 2x at P.R. Matrix Hex before the show and played it once during the show. The band and Wendy also played it earlier on the tour in a Boston basement as part of Raw Meat Fest without rehearsal and sans Wendy's signature vocal effects. One version appears on a lathe cut 7 on Third Uncle. So, now you know. Enjoy this cassette maxi-single document. It's a strange journey we're all on."
