The first of two CD EP's that were released by Wantage USA for Big Business to sell on tour, this four track disc is from 2004 and features three songs

("O.G.", "Eis Hexe", and "Off Off Broadway") from their Head For The Shallow debut on Hydra Head in noisier demo form, as well as an exclusive track

called "Evil Medievil". Total bruiser rock from these Karp/Whip/Tight Bros/Murder City Devils alumni and current Melvins rhythm section, which at this

juncture was picking up the slack from Karp's departure and busting out some megaheavy low-freq power sludge with a meaty 70's stadium rock backbone (just

listen to that fuckin' chorus on "Off Off Broadway"). The recording is much more raw and unpolished than their album, obviously, giving the songs that I was

already familiar with a gnarly, noisy blown out edge, and "Evil Medievel" is a freaked out Melvins-y dirge with weird chipmunk vocals, Jared Warren's Paul-

Stanley-on-steroids howl, loads of feedback and trippy raygun fx, and a central bass riff that cracks you over the skull repeatedly . Fans of of the Biz need

this limited edition tour disc for that jam alone.

The disc is packaged in a cardboard wallet that is about as minimal as it gets, with just a red/black screenprint on the front and the label logo on the

back, no credits or tracklisting, nuthin. It's a bonebreaker, though.
