Originally, our only goal was to make a wonderful sounding record. We never thought about the live aspect. They're two different beasts really. While recording you have to forget all expectations. The perceptions you have when you play live don't always translate when you go to tape in the studio.

“Technically” it began on the corner of Fairfax and Hollywood when I was at a stop light listening to the demo rob had sent me. It was in that tape that I knew we could build something special. I guess it “officially” began after we recorded a few songs in my basement studio and we dubbed ourselves West Indian Girl and took our first band picture with a digital camera.
