The Quagaars - The "Darkside Of The Disco" EP:
1. Darkside Of The Disco.
2. Quagaarian Space Trip.
3. The Storm Arrives.
4. Early Morning Darkness (2005 Version).
"Darkside Of The Disco" comes from The Quagaars debut album, "Dodge City Tombstone" which was released in 2010. Several versions of the song had been recorded over the years and it has featured regularly in the band's live set since the early days.
"Quagaarian Space Trip" and "The Storm Arrives" come from the demo album "Release Your Inner Gorilla (Zero Gravity Edition)" from 2002 which was used to promote the band as well as being given to various friends and family members. These were parts 3 and 4 of an instrumental "journey" that played out on that album. Both pieces were later used on C31's Pro Wrestling show "The Gorilla Position" which ran from 2011-2013, The Quagaars also wrote and performed the theme tune as well as most of the other music heard on the show.
"Early Morning Darkness (2005 Version)" is very different to the version that appears on "Dodge City Tombstone". At that point, the band consisted of Prime8 (12-String Guitar, Vocals), Checkers (Drums), Aaron Freeman (Lead Guitar, Vocals) and Ray Ray Right (Bass, Vocals). After Ray's departure to pursue his solo career, the band experimented with a few different ideas as to how to move forward, one of which was to have Checkers move over to Synthesizers and Samplers in order to create a fuller sound. While this didn't end up working out, this version of "Early Morning Darkness" was performed live a few times and even featured on an episode of "The Lee Elliott Show". Shortly after that, the band was joined by Rich Eliot (no relation to Lee...and different spelling anyway) on Bass and they returned to the more standard rock band format. This line up continued for a while before being driven apart by creative differences, leading to the "classic" line up of Prime8 and Checkers.
