So This is Outerspace (1997 - 1998)
Attached you will find two So This is Outerspace
songs. There originally was just Bryan aka "Skip" and
his stratocaster, but then he started playing with
Dan and at first they asked me to do percussive stuff,
then realized that they wanted a full band.
Track one is called Metallic Cherry
Track seven is called All the Young Hessians
Production values are of course a little shoddy, but
what can you do?
Also attached is a PDF (click to download!) that shows our demo
cover...(that no one has...I think we sent a copy to
Merge records)A funny fake interview, some little
girl's zine for photo reference and a flyer for one of
my personal musical highlights, opening for the
Sinatra's. All writing is obviously Skip's words. Let
me know if you want more.
I understand if things don't get posted so I totally
understand, but I think the sub-scene that Joel Wick
was an obvious central figure of deserves maybe it's
own sub-category. There were a lot of bands like
Jihad, Ordination of Aaron, Broken Hearts are Blue,
that were at least international in fan base.
Anyway, I will also be forwarding Mandi Neubecker's
indy band in one more email.
Sincerely,
BK
- Bryan Charles - guitar and vox
- Brian Koskuc - Percusive stuff
- Dan - Bass?
SO THIS IS OUTERSPACE
Not sure why, but Brian only sent TWO of the presumably eight songs available. Maybe he'll send them all, or let us know where people can buy a copy.

Skip has a copy on DAT but has no way to transfer it to another format

Sadly, you are right......but it is probably long gone now....I am still trying to get a copy from Pat Duncan, but it is slow going.

i think Canada has a copy

I have been in touch with Pat Duncan from WFMU to try and obtain the STIOS session we did live (1999?). You don't have a copy, do you?

That's Dan Buettner on bass. Dan played in Ordination of Aaron and Broken Hearts Are Blue before STIOS. I remember 98 being a weird time for me in Kalamazoo, a lot of my friends had moved away and old favorite bands had broken up. I was feeling a little left behind and threatened by some of the new players, so out of early 20s defensiveness and confusion wrote that line on the flyer about the "dead scene." Not much else to say except I like all the songs we recorded. Koskuc, send Jeff more. --- end of previous message --- --- end of previous message --- --- end of previous message ---

What I am trying to get is the recording that So This Is Outerspace did on WFMU (yes, in New Jersey) in late 1998 or early 1999. It was about 7-8 songs with Bryan Charles, Paul Bayer on bass, and Aaron Pagdon on drums.
I have emailed Pat Duncan at WFMU and he is trying to dig it up. I will post it here if I can get my hands on it. The recording quality was excellent, if I remember.

You know what is awesome? Having a page from a zine you made when you were a "little girl" PDFed for eternity at Leon's Temple. Ugh.
I actually have a few recordings of STIOS that my boyfriend is hoping to eventually turn into MP3s, including a cover of "Yes I Do" on the Real Live Stir Fry, and Bryan Charles solo on The Real Live Stir Fry, and also their demo. Snasnick, these were on WIDR... might be what you are looking for but maybe not because WFMU is in like New Jersey according to a quick google search. --- end of previous message ---

Yes, that band Federale from Portland, Oregon, is absolutely terrible.

Yeah, I have a copy, but the drumming is pretty sub-par. I believe the douche responsible is in some hack band called "Federale"

Does anyone have a copy of the So This Is Outerspace session recorded live on WFMU circa 1999? The lineup was Brian Charles, Paul Bayer, and Aaron Pagdon. I believe it was quite good. --- end of previous message ---

I had Mr. Charles as a substitute teacher in school for awhile and he endlessly tormented me. Also he seemed to enjoy slapping Hum stickers on my locker. Not to mention telling me I didn't listen to enough OK Computer.
