about

Between releasing "Know Your Monkey" in early 1995 and forming the Aloha Steamtrain in mid 1996, when they started work on their debut album "Girl Planet", Lord Russ wrote and recorded a whole lot of songs on his 4-track recorder in his bedroom amidst beer cans and tequila bottles.
Lord Russ was wearing his heart on his sleeve with this collection. It's an intimate glimpse into the life of a budding rock star satyr in a whirlwind of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Lord Russ doesn't hold back lyrically, or when it comes to making his acoustic guitar sound like a blazing wah-wah fuzz electric!
These songs are demos. That means they are kind of rough around the edges, and after The Steamtrain released "Girl Planet", Lord Russ decided to shelve them and they were never released. Until now.
