VOLUME 4 of the Californian super band featuring members of Yawning Man and Fu Manchu. Bob Balch here. When I was invited to jam with Yawning Man out in Joshua Tree two years ago in April, I was very excited. I stacked all of my weirdest pedals onto a board and drove out there to embrace some improvisational jams.
Whenever I jam with those guys, I have no idea where it’s going, which makes it fun because it keeps me on my toes. We had scheduled an entire 10-hour day at Gatos Trail, but little did I know my jam session would get cut short as I had to bail for a home repair emergency. So we only got five hours—but that five hours gave us Volumes Three and Four.
I hope you enjoy Volume Four. These are the longer jams we did, and the mix is reminiscent of ’70s dub reggae. Jamming with Mario, Bill, and Gary is always a pleasure, and I hope they continue to invite me out so we can release Volumes Five through 1000.
