Before there was Nappy. Before there was Stinky Pinky. There was Muzz, The Does Cows cow. I am finding that Muzz pops up a lot in our videos. Below are just two examples:

Here's Muzz captured hanging at Justice's place while we're practicing.

The question Justice always asks is how did I end up with Muzz. This still shows that he somehow made it up to Gateway, where Bram and I lived during PSU.

Just like most college rock bands, Bone Sauce got its first taste for performing live by entering a campus sponsored talent show. We actually entered two talent shows at PSU. We won the first show in 1990, which inspired us to try again the next year.

Now 1991 was kind of a strange period for music. We had just started to switch from playing garage inspired metal to punk inspired rock. We didn't have a name for it but by the end of the year we were being described as alternative.

Some still frames of us playing the show:



Me playing guitar. We were still going by The Does Cows, which is why I am wearing a tee with a cow on it. I am also sporting a backwards Vision skate ballcap.



Justice on bass. You can see that Justice has Does Cows written on his bass. He's also sporting a popular tee from that period, the Ren and Stimpy tee.



Bram on guitar and Baker playing drums. Baker had split to go to school in Texas, but we roped him back in to play this show.

In any case, we were the only alternarockers. The other acts were either hair metal left overs or hip-hop acts, both of which were more popular in 1991. In the end a hip-hop act with a Vanilla Ice type front man (Ice was popular at the time) and an awesome 1991 rhyme style won.

Since the DVD will feature BS stuff only, I figured I'd post a clip of the act that beat us. Here they are spitting, State The Facts. As they point out, their rhymes are "energetic, exquisite and poetic," but only "somewhat aesthetic." So just sit back, enjoy, and as they recommend, "don't sweat it."

Here's a little ditty we started jamming on after several beers on night in the recent Chicago recording sessions.

It may or may not turn into a song on Ice Mountain.

Just thought I would post a few updates on two BoneSauce projects.

I officially started digitizing the massive BS video collection, which means you should check back for Web only clips that will probably not make the official DVD collection.

We also compiled an unofficial songlist for Ice Mountain while recording at the new studios last week. The songs (which are not in any official order and may not make the final cut) and titles (all of which are subject to change) are:

It's Just Another Drink
Goodnight, Goodnight

Do Your Ears Hurt?
Fancy Ketchup
What Happened On Amsterdam
Missing Dogs
Livin' In The City
