ENNUI TRUST- SNUFF & STUFF VHS [S/T]



Thought I lost this one, but found it cleaning out my room earlier this week. Ennui Trust was my main band back when I lived in Davis. Phil on bass, Trotsky on vocals, and Evan and I on guitar and drums. The VHS idea was mostly Trotsky's, featuring video collage and makeshift videos. Evan started piecing together stock footage and editing them to the songs when we first started and after a music video contest at KDVS, we placed second, won t-shirts along with a photo-shoot that we never followed through on, we decided to put them all on a VHS tape. The tracks are all early demos we recorded on a small recording device. Its a video collage with our songs for 15min, and the rest becomes a B movie of Trotsky's choosing. The last song is Evans animation masterpiece we used for the contest. Who needs a demo tape when you got a demo VHS. Think we tried to send it to MRR for review, but I'm sure they just threw it away, didn't want to bother. Either way, there might be a couple extra copies hiding somewhere in Davis if people still want it.
