Eight Or Nine Feet - Heavy - 1991
previously unreleased

While I do have their 1989 release "Resolution", I felt like this demo from '91 captured better what Eight Or Nine Feet sounded like.

from Trouser Press:

Formed at college in Raleigh, North Carolina, this guitar-pop quartet shows enough writing and performing skill on Resolution to make its above-average vinyl debut a tuneful Beatle-influenced pleasure. Armed with four writer/singers and no stylistic instincts you'd be tempted to call quirky, Eight or Nine Feet sticks to traditional Anglo-pop values with a Southern accent, modulating its clean dual guitar sound from Saturday night excitement to Sunday morning politeness.

Bo Taylor went on to front Motorcaster with bassist Brian Sliwa. Bo was also guitarist for Dish with ex-Blackgirl Dana Kletter.

Band Members:
Bo Taylor - Vocals, Guitar
Chris Eselgroth - Guitars
Brian Sliwa - Bass
Ian Schreier - Drums
