Abandoned demo, perhaps rightfully so.
Category: Bootyproof
During my time at Stumptown, and for a bit thereafter, I recorded music with my friend RC Gartrell as well as others. RC and myself made these recordings during about a two year period, in his basement in Portland. We actually went under the name The Amies at some point, but since that was a name I’d used before, I went with Bootyproof here.

Forsake
I feel like we got about halfway through building this track, and both RC and I had added a bunch before it got left behind.

Taken
The political theme, and lines like “we are patriotic by design,” were surely rooted in the first term of George W. Bush. It was 2002; after all.
This was a demo and I played many of the instruments myself, but Mike Squires pitched in with bass and lead guitar.

Decembergirl
This is a very slick version of a song that was in our set for some time, and that had been written more or less a couple of years prior.

Tellina Lie
This must be my third or fourth take on this song, now with an actual band. It’s certainly well-developed at this point.

Delay Inevitable
Didn’t dive too deep; came up jaunty. It wasn’t easy to fit “inevitable” in like that but if Dylan can do it, so could I.
