MAR030 (RiPT OFF #1) THE STITCHES – D- 7”ep (release date: Mikes B-day, 9/8/13)

September 8th 1993, 20 years ago to the day, a young Mike Lohrman turned 26 years old and was holed up in a small practice space with his newly formed band called THE STITCHES and recorded these 6 raw gems for your listening pleasure. Some you’ve heard before, some you haven’t. None have you heard like this though. The recording device was an old ghetto blaster with a sweaty t-shirt thrown over it to improve the sound quality – It didn’t work…Happy 46th Birthday Mike.
