In 1994, Athens, GA-based band Five Eight released Weirdo, the album that should have
been a breakthrough for the relentlessly hard working and touring band that
formed in the late 80’s. Twenty one
years later, Weirdo gets the deluxe re-release treatment courtesy of
Austin-based label Chicken Ranch Records.
The Weirdo reissue, remixed from the
master tapes by original producer David
Barbe (Sugar), remastered by Jim Wilson, and featuring new artwork
along with five unreleased bonus tracks, is now available as a 180 gram
double-LP and digital download.
Barbe comments on how he has returned Weirdo to the way it was originally
intended, saying, “When I turned in the finished mixes to the A&R man, he
listened, called me and said, ‘You have made a great record.’ His opinion would
change. I believed that the hyped,
over-processed records of the early 90’s were going to sound hopelessly dated
in time. He wanted Five Eight to
give him his own Nevermind, and this was not it.”
At the time, the label pushed and received the record
they wanted, but now Five Eight has
finally arrived at the sonic version of Weirdo that they imagined from the
beginning. The reissue of Weirdo
by Five Eight is available now via Chicken Ranch Records here. Members of Five Eight are available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom
at Fanatic for more information.
