On December 14th, 2002, Eggplant Queens recorded their EP, Curses, at Loho Studios. You can download it – and watch the band record "Nice Life" – here. Directly after the recording session the boys headed to Continental for the Xmas Spectacular. Continental invited a bunch of local bands to perform one Christmas song – Christmas was around the corner – and a couple of originals. A really short set.
At the time, Steve Johnson was working on a Christmas album where he'd combine the lyrics from a famous Christmas song with the melody from another Christmas song. I shared that album last Christmas (here). So the Eggplant Queens chose "Feliz The Snowman" as their Christmas song.
Back in 2003 I finished a documentary on the music scene from my hometown of Bellmore, Long Island. But Bellmore: The Unscene only scratched the surface of the Bellmore scene. My intentions with this blog is to dive deeper into the music and people of Bellmore. I also don't expect people outside of Bellmore to care about this blog but just in case they're interested, they're welcome to browse and learn. This will largely be the place for the people of Bellmore to replace the copy of Colonel Bastard's Horny Left Nut Band they lost or to relive an old Intellectuals show at La Serayña... amongst other things Bellmore.
