Recorded in early '07, these two new songs (and one BDA classic) were laid down as part of Yet Another Push to get our original material captured for posterity. Know this: Someday we will complete and release a full CD. And someday the sun will explode and consume the Earth in a fiery conflagration. Which comes first is still open to speculation.

Foul Weather

I'm Alright By Me

Too Well Adjusted (2007)

Arranged by Big Dumb Animals. Recorded and engineered by Dave Fleschner.

In early 2007 the band had the opportunity to participate in the Troutdale Poetry Experiment, aka Deep Roots. We picked out a poem from a fine young gentleman named Keith Gaxiola and set it to an original tune. It was enthusiastically received by the kids at Reynolds High School when we debuted the tune at a release party on May 16th, 2007. Here's one of the mixes from Dave before mastering and inclusion on the Deep Roots 10 CD:

Carry On

Lyrics by Keith Gaxiola. Music and arrangement by Big Dumb Animals. Recorded and engineered by Dave Fleschner.

Recorded in late '05, this song was included in the soundtrack of a TV pilot Rae was involved with. The show debuted in March, 2006. It's another Barry Clark original tune. Check it out:

Hellbound

Arranged by Big Dumb Animals. Recorded and engineered by Dave Fleschner at Dave's Attic Productions.

5 Cocktail Breakfast is our still unfinished full length album, and the title is really more of a description of the creative process. "Stew" is perhaps more along the lines of the creative result of a 5 cocktail breakfast. As Homer would say, you can be the judge, Judy and executioner for yourself. (These links now bring up lyrics and footnotes for each song on the list!)

Blow Hard Get Over It Siren Song Deals Can't Go Home Again Like Me Big Top Nasty Little Scar Of A Town The Fall Angels On My Doorstep I'm A Believer (Un-official outtake; apologies to Neil Diamond. The Monkees, however, are on their own)

Recorded and engineered by Dave Fleshner. Dave also sits in on keys with us for Deals and Big Top. Thanks also to Brian for the harmonica solo on Deals and Kurt's mastery of the See'n'Say on Nasty Little Scar Of A Town.

Big Dumb Demo

Our first formal recording, March 1998. We rode this demo to countless gigs at the Dublin Pub in Beaverton. Maybe you were there for one of them?

Too Well Adjusted Why Tell The Truth Senseless Barfly Baby Big Dumb Blues Brand New Cadillac (Special Reserve, deep background outtake)
