The Nomads / Donovan's Brain
The Nomads Vs. Donovan's Brain

Single US 2014 on Career Records label
Rock (Garage Rock, Psychedelic Rock)

This is a collaboration that has been sitting in the cellar for many years waiting to be sampled. In 1999 the Nomads booked a day off on their tour to visit Donovan's Brain in Bozeman. The Brain were in the middle of the sessions for Tiny Crustacean Light Show and Great Leap Forward. Richard Treece was in town as well. The Nomads were offered an unreleased Donovan's Brain instrumental No Cops Haul Ass which they came prepared to record. Also cut were the the title track for Tiny Crust and the B-side version of Top Alcohol. No Cops was dusted off and given a fresh mix for this EP. it had earlier been heard on the sound track for the obscure ski film 99 Sense. Ron Sanchez and Richard Treece were invited to add even more guitars to this high desert hot-rod tune. The four guitar players weave a dangerous tale of speed and beer. One of the two Donovan's Brain tracks is also from the same 98-99 period. Jim Kehoe's (Snow In) Miami never got a final vocal. In 2010 it was revised for the Bridger Bowl Ski Film Of The Day. If your are starting to get the feeling these songs might be about going downhill fast, you are correct. 100 seconds of terror as your flight plunges into a Florida swamp. From the new stack comes Bread Man Burning. This true story about a baker who ended up burnt toast was recorded in the early stages of the Turned Up Later sessions but set aside for a future single release. New boys Scott Sutherland and Tom Stevens helped complete this number for this EP. That would be Deniz Tek on the ripping guitar.
