Cough Syrup
Cough Syrup was together from appox. 1992 until sometime in 1994. These four songs constitute our last recording session. At that time I think that we had about 10 songs (excluding songs we had retired). The final line-up was Jon Lukens, Benjamin Lukens (The Forever War) on bass, Matt Ciccarelli on guitar and Zach Hollbach on drums. Patrick Borezo played bass before Ben Joined. Jonathan Kenny was our original drummer, and played on two prior recording sessions before moving out of town. We had a drummer named Daryl for one gig between losing Jonathan and finding Zach.
I’m not especially fond of my Bob Schick wannabe vocals here, but I think the songs are worth making available. Our other studio material is too shitty to post.
Live July 2nd, 1994
Everything below was taken from a VHS tape of the last Cough Syrup show: July 2nd, 94. The show was at the Somber Reptile Lizard Lounge, which was a second, smaller show space beneath a club called the Somber Reptile in Atlanta. We were supposed to play with Las Mordidas (Chris Thomson and ex-Fidelity Jones folks), but they never showed up.
Aside from the recording above, this is the best example available of what we sounded like starting around the Fall of 93. I put a tiny bit of compression on these and EQed them a little bit. I also edited out string-breaking between song banter. There wasn’t too much I could do with the video. There just wasn’t enough light.
