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.

Bootyproof

Starvation

https://brigleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2002/04/16-Bootyproof-Starvation.mp3

Abandoned demo, perhaps rightfully so.

The Victim

https://brigleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2002/04/15-Bootyproof-The_Victim.mp3

A demo of a song I would return to years later.

Forsake

https://brigleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2002/04/14-Bootyproof-Forsake.mp3

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.

Never Said

https://brigleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2002/04/13-Bootyproof-Never_Said.mp3

Another demo of a rather serious song we were working on at the time.

Taken

https://brigleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2002/04/12-Bootyproof-Taken.mp3

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

https://brigleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2002/04/10-Bootyproof-Decembergirl.mp3

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

https://brigleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2002/04/11-Bootyproof-Tellina_Lie.mp3

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

Pinup Girl

https://brigleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2002/04/09-Bootyproof-Pinup_Girl.mp3

One would think it would be a happy song!

Adelone

https://brigleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2002/04/08-Bootyproof-Adelone.mp3

A meditation on addiction and soured relationships.

Delay Inevitable

https://brigleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2002/04/07-Bootyproof-Delay_Inevitable.mp3

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.
