E (9.10.01) by Teen Getaway
20 years ago. Yikes.
This was the first proper Teen Getaway song. Improvised and refined at our very first rehearsal. We had no idea what we were doing -- just that we were playing in E.
The song burst forth. We had something. We were born.
This was from our very first show at Barnstormer Pizza in Montevallo, AL on September 10, 2001. Our friends, Kinoflux, also played their first show. We opened. I think our set lasted 17 minutes. It was scary. It was a thrill.
Jason Hamric recorded the whole thing from the audience with a little Sony stereo mic -- probably to mini-disc.

Teen Getaway was born at the dawn of the 21st century in Montevallo, AL. Originally, meant to be a recording project, the group quickly came to life as loud purveyors of Bubblegum Skronk -- catchy songs battered and fried in copious amounts of distortion and feedback.
