The Official History of Instant Dogma

(Woodrose, snakes & ladders, Freak Music,
Punk Rock Treehouse and everything else.)

2005 

So we gigged and we gigged and we gigged. But the truth is the momentum was starting to fade. I was still doing Wormtown Weds. and Loose Salute. Greg was enjoying a new found relationship. John began playing bass with Das Happening, along with Drew Prescott and Jason Macierowski. We were starting to splinter. On top of that, recording the official follow up to Staring at The Sun was proving to be sporadic.

Meanwhile the studio was going gangbusters. In a handful of months I had recorded projects with The Spoilers, James Keyes, Musclecah, Standard Deviation, The Kids at The Back of The Bus, Dan Chauvin and Bottlefight. I was able to upgrade and buy some spiffy equipment. I had already recorded some metal stuff with Bodice Ripper and suddenly word got out and I began recording punk bands on the cheap. Hoodrat, The Flicks, Slitstitch Public Uproar and others would find their way to Toad Hall. And I began doing a lot of live sound, Ralph's, Lucky Dog and various punk shows. It was an exciting time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Finally on November 4th our fourth official album was completed. Because of manufacturing issues it would be several months before it was available
