Screaming Trees Strange Things Happening - The Ellensburg Demos 1986-88
Ellensburg, Washington is known for the world’s 3rd largest
three-day rodeo, 90’s NFL legends Brian Habib and Drew Bledsoe and as
the hometown of seminal Northwest band Screaming Trees. In the late
80’s, Ellensburg residents were often confronted with the strangely
primitive sounds of the band emanating from their headquarters in the
back room of the Conner family’s Main Street store, New World Video.
Here was the scene of creation of songs from the band’s early Velvetone
and SST albums. During this prolific time, much of the band’s music
never made it beyond their own ears but was fortunately captured on Gary
Lee Conner’s 4 track cassette recorder. Those cassettes have survived,
intact, down to this day and have now made their way to this recording.
So now, transport yourself back to New World Video, in late 80’s
Ellensburg, and hear the weird things happening.
