    By some random series of events, Shawn ended up sharing the "lost" Pigeonhed album. If any other fans are interested, I'd be happy to chat with you.

    From 1990 Columbia Records Demo
    Recorded at London Bridge Studios, Seattle Washington

    "I signed a demo deal with Columbia/CBS Records in 1990. Guy Eckstine was my A&R as well as the producer and drummer on the demo. I was 24 years old. I wrote the songs. My lyrics and vocal delivery are a little embarrassing. I was listening to Alice In Chains like crazy which explains some of my Layne phrasing. As for the lyrics, I was young and had a whole lot to learn." -Shawn Smith

    The chair, it has many stories to tell. Shawn Smith photo shoot is one of those. We also affectionately call it the Chris chair cuz he did vocals for Audioslave sitting in it. Fun fact: if you sit in it and put the arm protectors over your knees, your lower legs look like they disappear.

    Brad is my favorite side project of any of the them. TOTD is great too, but I love listening to Brad.

    I was just confessing on discord last night that I feel like a sinner because I haven’t listened to any Brad. They told me I need to start with the first album and work my way forward.

    When I finally listened to Brad, I felt so stupid for waiting so long. I really didn't/don't like the band name all that much, which is what kept me from even giving it a chance. When I first heard "Buttercup" I was enthralled. Such soulful singing and chill music. You are in for a fun journey. I'm still waiting for more represses of their albums. Anyone hear of anything coming up?
    1991- Hollywood Palladium, California with Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains -RIP Magazine Show Oct. 6th
    1992- Lollapalooza, Irvine, California
    Nothing since then. I suck.
    2016- Fenway Park, Boston - Both glorious nights
    2022- Oakland Night 2

    Buttercup is a song on their first album "Shame". Amazing song that still gives me the feels when I hear it.

    There are a pretty decent amount of clips on YouTube, not sure about Spotify. They have all of their albums on Apple music if you have that.

    Thanks, I’ll check YouTube

    Listening to them on Spotify, right now.
    Here is a playlist I created when I started telling my friends about them. Just my own list of SOME of the songs that stood out for me in the beginning. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2xkAM8XCLr47b2ZSpdEx8q?si=mOzXzcZWQna4P06OarrXug
