I dreamed of recording a live album at a show – since that proved to be a huge undertaking, we took a page from the playbook of music video directors from the 1980′s and recorded More Songs About Buildings and Cat Food “live without an audience”
we are officially back for RPM 2012! we’re going to try some new tricks this year. we’re going to record everything live. no overdubs just tons and tons of takes until we get it ready. check out what we’ve been up to so far ….

We’re all set up on Bandcamp, a free publishing platform for bands. Download any of our albums in MP3, FLAC, AAC or Ogg Vorbis formats for FREE.
After 28 days of grueling work, our 2011 RPM challenge album is finished: HERE COME THE WARM CATS.
“Sgt. Wesman’s Logan Square Friends Band doesn’t satirize The Beatles on its latest release, Sticky Whiskers, but there is a definite 1960s vibe that runs through most of the CD. Led by SGT. WESMAN, this collective creates tripped-out psychedelic rock on songs like ‘Going Nowhere,’ but opts for a classic new-wave approach on the catchy fun of ‘In The Kitchen.’ WESMAN’s studio posse succeeds at a variety of genres, but a cleaner production would have made this effort even more impressive. ” – Terrence Flamm
“Listening to ‘Vultures,’ at first the instrumentation reminded me of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, a longtime fav band of mine, but then the vox came in and it was like this cool Gang of Four meets Motown kind of thing, and THEN it kept getting even better. A++” –avjones
