We
recorded it at Brilliant Studios in San Francisco," Mercurio explains
of the Crazyhorse Mongoose sessions. "It was totally in the middle
of nowhere, which kind of helped us out. It had living accomodations,
so we stayed there for five days. No one really left the area so
we were all on the same wavelength the whole time. We really dug
the idea of being secluded."
"A
lot of time we'd be waking up, in our underwear, eating a bowl of
cereal, and someone would start recording at about noon," Moore
says. It would keep going later and later every night 'til the point
where we were wrapping up at about five in the morning. This record's
got more songs that we developed live and brought to the studio,
where on Coolin' Off, Dan [Prothero, producer for both records]
really wanted to get a vibe that was kind of off-the-cuff, like
we'd just walked into the studio and started playing."
When
asked about the title of the CD, Moore explains "We named the tune
that first, some body I know took that name and started calling
himself that. We just thought it was a cool name. I was like, "Hey
man, check this out Crazyhorse Mongoose" and we were like "ah cool".
So we named the song that and then later that same guy started calling
himself "Quiet Please" and that's the last tune on the record. So
that's kind of neat."
