Jacob, "Monster Party 2000" CD, released by MuSick, has two tracks
credited to the Madeira. I was living in Indianapolis at that point,
and had already started up the Troubadours. The Troubadours' drummer,
Dane Carter, is also the drummer for the Madeira. Already at that
point I was planning on starting another surf band, and I had come up
with the name, so when Art B. of MuSick wanted me to cover the Young
Frankenstein Theme, I asked Dane to do it with me, and we credited it
to the Madeira. (Catherine Gray of the Space Cossacks overdubbed bass
on it later, and I did all the guitar parts.) Anyway, we ended up
doing two versions, one a faster surf version, and one a slower
version more faithful to the original song, with a lot of nylon-string
guitar. That's what I was talking about. The Cossacks also have a
song on there - and in fact, it's a song that we retitled and
rerecorded for the Madeira CD. So, you can think of the Monster Party
CD as the roots of the Madeira.
Hope that explains it all.
