About Me

Late 1997, power trio riffs were back in the form of haggis. Former members of Splat and the Pineapples recorded this three song ep and played select shows at CBGB, and the now defunkt Beat Club in Port Chester. The band was formidable live (with the addition of guitarist Mike Birnup), winning the respect of NY's Raging Slab during an opening slot with them on the Jersey shore in late 1998. Songs of isolation and loss, world destruction and fury over the over the steam roller bass and drums combo of the DeIanni brothers, and the surprising arrangements of Neenan's SG herald another time - a better time for rock n roll. a dying breed.
