"GLASS
HANDS" Here
it is, the Red Bennies brand new hit album,"Glass Hands". It features
guest appearence from the AF Jr. Caveman Players on a few tracks. It was
recorded just as Scott left the group- thanks, Scott, for playing on these
recordings first. Scott did the original tracking/mixing for Don't Stop,
In the Dark, and To Get Your Attention. Band members are David Payne, Scott
Selfridge, Terrence Warburton, Dan Thomas. Mostly recorded practices in
the basement of the Westgate Business Center, where the band currenty shares
a room with Wolfs,
Ether, Purr
Bats, Tolchock
Trio, Tiny
Lights, and others, with Laser
Fang and Vile
Blue Shades down the hall. |
"SHAKE
IT OFF" Album
"Shake It Off" signifies the first attempt at some Hi-Fi music
since "Announcing", and also Paul Butterfield's last album. Mixed/Mastered
by David Payne, recorded by Jeremy Smith at the Moroccan. Album released
by Chad Murphy and his
Exumbrella Records, of which Dan also had
a hand in, and who also released lots of Tolchock
Trio and Taughtme
stuff. Both of the music videos on this page were included on this album
as secret files you could "explore" on your computer. |

"ADULT
SOPHISTICATES" This
album contains selections from the EP's "Yes It's Lo-Fi 2![]()
'With a Hug'", recorded by Scott Selfridge at the Urban Lounge, and
"Watch Your Language, engineered by Ned Clayton at KRCL radio, plus
some tracks were 4-tracked at rehearsal. All tracks are live, Mixed/Mastered
by David Payne. Features members from multiple lineup
changes over the 3 years it documents, including Mike Sartain of Starmy
fame, Josh Knight, Gentry Densley of Eagle
Twin. |

"YES IT'S
LO-FI: 'WITH A HUG'" The
album "Announcing" was released just as Eli Morrison and Nate
Pysher left the group- Mike Sartain and Terrence Warburton joined. This
album was an attempt to quickly represent the new group. It was intended
to by Hi-Fi but half the tracks on the duo reel to reel mixing console broke
at the last minute (after the session). Nothing stops the release of a fine
album on schedule. Mixed/mastered by David Payne. Recorded at the Moroccan.

"ANNOUNCING" This
album represents the greatest effort from the group with their older, more
caustic sound. Only album with Nate Pysher on drums. First album mixed by
David Payne. Recorded at the Moroccan by Andy Patterson, and mixed for long
hours at Eli's house while enjoying Jigglers and Brownie Hill, until Andy
went touring in New York and Dave got to take the computer home with him.
It still sounds just right on the speakers used for the process. First heavy
usage of Organ in the group (played by David). This was released by Dren
and his label Vaccination

"SOUL 002" This
album "Soul 002", commonly referred to as "The Chicken Album"
on account of the fine chicken art on the cover compliments of Kyrbir, was
reluctantly (just after the finishing of "Hey Rocker") recorded
by the group by Josh Stippich, at Kyrbir's request, who wanted to release
these songs which were slightly older than those on Hey Rocker.. Mixed/Mastered
by Josh Stippich, and released on Kyrbir's 19
State of Deseret label. It was re-released a decade later on Will Sartain's
Kilby Records,
with bonus MP3's hidden on the disk. Re-mixed/mastered by David Payne. Andy
Patterson played drums on most of it, Steve Gibb on some of it, and Robbie
Davis plays on the secret MP3's. One track has a long silent ending, as
there was originally an "intermission". |

"HEY
ROCKER" This,
"Hey Rocker", was Red Bennies first attempt at a fine CD. Recorded,
mixed/mastered by Josh Stippich, paid for by Leena Rinne, and released on
Kyrbir's 19 State
of Deseret label. Andy Patterson Played Drums. Since Eli's band Ambergris
had nothing to do with their recordings (also done by Josh Stippich), and
there was half a CD left over, it was a good idea to throw that on too.
Ambergris was by Andy Patterson, Pat Dahl, Eli Morrison, and Amber Jarvis
who years later played drums on the Purr Bats Live at Urban Lounge tracks,
and also Soft Fluff and Bionic Fresh Moves. She also sang in Optimus Prime.
Trivia: the name "Hey Rocker" refers to the text on the front
of the album, bitten from a Fall album, that says "Hey Rocker! Buy
this disk, then buy Red Bennies next hit album, Announcing!", and every
album since has had a similar tag. |

"LIFE AS
I KNOW IT" This
album was entirely bought and paid for by Kyrbir's own 19
State of Deseret record label. It was recorded by Jeff Fogt on secret
recording device (camcorder) and mixed/mastered by David Payne at Josh Stippich's
house for a fine release. There is some heavy dictaphone usage as well as
some samples from Resident Evil. The recording took place at the I.S.P.
warehouse in southern Provo where David was living with Derwood Hutchison
and others, and where the band was rehearsing and performing. The song "Life
as I Know It" was an accompaniment to an artsy slide show. "Life
as I Know It" literally consisted of selling plasma, trying to wake
up early enough to make it to the Utah Food Bank, and avoiding driving errands
by use of an un-corroborated epilepsy condition. A single boon the the season
was a show charging a discount for admission with canned food-- which the
goth band, Daughters of the Nile, (who innexplicably stuck around after
the show for a few days), selfishly devoured. |

"FAMIL" The
album "Famil" was dubbed by hand to cassette (with only the left
side copied on many) and then released on Kyrbir's 19
State of Deseret label. It contains music recorded live and late at
night tracked by Josh Stippich. remastered here by Cory Bury and then David
Payne. Some tracks taken from the "High Desert" summer shows at
Bird's ranch in western Utah which filled the Alesis Digital Audio Tape
recorder with many dust particles. This represents Red Bennies very first
batch of songs- the song "Rocket" actually being pre-Red Bennies.
"Sleep" was a real hit in the community. Lineup is David Payne,
Guitar, Paul Butterfield, Bass, and Steve Gibb, Drums. |

RED BENNIES SUPPLEMENTAL | "KRCL CIRCUS
BROWN 'NOT A SIDE SHOW'" Circus
Brown has a radio show on KRCL Community Radio called "Circus Brown's
Not a Side Show". He was kind enough to have us on one afternoon. This
was tracked by his technician, Connery, and then mixed/masted by David Payne.
These feature the current line-up, Dave, Scott, Terrence, and Dan. Links

"VADIM
SESSION" While
on a weekend concert trip to the SF bay area (where Scott is from), we stopped
at his friend Vadim's studio and dropped 300$ of our stingily hoarded money
for these tracks. These are mixed by Scott and mastered by Dave. The tracks
for the 7" "Walk Right In" are from this session, and the
rest was abandoned, and recently stumbled upon. Josh Knight played drums
on these, joined by Terrence, Dave, Scott, and Paul. |

"ANNOUNCING
'DEMOS!'" As
he was nervous about his first lone effort to finish an album , "Announcing",
David thought he'd do a test run first. This is a pre-production test of
the batch of songs done on four-track at Moroccan rehearsals, with organ
and vocal overdubs. Years later, Eli thought it sounded particularly visceral
and fuzzy, and re-released it in a small run on his own label, 8ctopus
Records who also features Bleed Yellow, Polestar, Jealous, and some
of his other rad groups. The track "Listen Up" never worked out
on the official album, and was replaced by the Ambergris cover, "Kali
Comedown". Also, just as this work was done and it's confidence building
effects had been marked, David borrowed a bunch of equipment from Josh Stippich
and the band headed down to the Moroccan for their big one night effort
of recording the album proper. When they got there, the TV crew for the
show "Touched by and Angel" was filming in the building next door
and demanded silence. David ran back to Josh's and returned with the rental
reciept that resulted in a thousand dollar check (from Touched by and Angel
in exchange for that night's silence) that went straight to Andy a few weeks
later for tracking the album "Announcing" properly. (I forgot
to mention that the original need for this "confidence building exercise"
was that the band didn't have any money). Eli also played baritone guitar
a lot during this time, but I don't think it went on the album. |

"TUSK
TASK: TSK, TSK, TSK" "Tusk
Task: Tsk, Tsk, Tsk," is a compilation of live rehearsal tracks, lineup
changes, and studio projects over the history of the group. Original lineup
is David Payne: guitorgan/guitar, Leena Rinne: bass, Dan Thomas: drums.
In 2007, Leena and Dave had baby girl twins which all but halted their ability
to hold joint membership in the group, and the band was joined by Terrence
Warburton on bass and then guitar (as babysitters were found). This also
led to some songs recorded by Dave alone, as well as the development of
the "Glinting Gems B Squad", which is a soft interpretation of
Gems pieces (as well as Red Bennies pieces and others) on the drums, bass,
and electric sitar, intended for soft concerts at the Urban Lounge's sunday
night "Time To Talk 'Tween Tunes" that David hosted. "B Squad".

"AND

the Westgate Business Center, and is the only album exclusively representing
the lineup Kyrbir: vocals, Eli Morrison: guitar, James Acton: drums, Jesse
Winter: keys, Derwood Hutchison: Bass, (with Scott singing some cool backups
now and then), which was a steady lineup for a long time, and the album
distinctly shows the hard rockin' tightness of the roster. Many of these
songs are in their current set, as Eli and Derwood have been replaced by
Terrence Warburton on guitar, Scott on bass, and David Payne on keytar. |

Game Studios in Sugarhouse. It features tracks made by Jeremy Smith, Eli
Morrison, David, and Andy Patterson. Perpetuas Greening is taken from the
Urban Lounge concert on this page. That's a picture of Jeff Fogt cutting
Kyrbir's hair. He recorded the Red Bennies album "Life as I Know It".
This album was made during a emptiness of proper bandmate-age, and some

"SLEEPING
BAG ON KRCL WITH BAD BRAD" Sleeping
Bag got together to play Bad Brad Wheeler's radio show on KRCL. Sleeping
Bag was an effort on Kyrbir's part to put lots of his softer and moodier
songs in one spot. As such, all but two of these are covers from his previous
groups. This is played by Leena Rinne on guitar, David Payne on keys, Derwood
Hutchison on bass, and James Acton on drums. Mixed/mastered by Dave. |

"QUALITY
SLEEP TIME" This
album, "Quality Sleep Time", represents the final effort of the
band Puri-do. It was recorded and mastered by Josh Stippich, and played
by Kyrbir, Eli Morrison, and David Payne. Kyrbir had moved to seattle for
a bit (where he did his band Hooo) and had returned for a summer before
his long move to london. Dr. Anthony J. Snow and Derwood Anne H played some
little parts, as well as Paul Butterfield and Brian Pfrenz-c. The current
"official" performing group at this time consisted of Anthony
Snow, Derwood Hutchison, Eli Morrison, David Payne, Kyrbir, and Matt Barlow,
but the album was recorded as a rogue move by Dave and Eli as the group
had grown apart. All the songs labeled "Sleep" are brief soundscape
bits (mostly stiring a bowl full of jars of pills at Inma's house one day
captured in high-def David's four-track), and the album was meant to be
listened to in order (perhaps inducing a nap?). The album turned out very
nice. It was made in the era of CD's, and a CD release was planned, but
as the performing group didn't really exist and Kyrbir was going to move
back to london, it only saw a cassette tape release, so this is probably
your only chance to hear it, although, the band "Sleeping Bag",
which was formed for the sole purpose of putting songs on Slug Magazine's
"Death By Salt" music compilations, and for playing two lonely
shows-- but with the ideal of starting a regular band to play soft and beautiful
music-- revived many of these songs. |

"1997XF11"![]() "1997XF11" was compiled from recordings made by Sean McCarthy in his basement, David Payne in his mom's living room, and Joe Payne at his studio at University of Utah. Band Lineup was Doug Wright on bass, Mike Sartain on drums, Amber Jarvis on flute and vocals, Sean McCarthy on organ, and me, David Payne, the creator of this website, on guitar. Some tracks feature Robie Davis on drums and Gunnar Olsen on bass. Once at a concert at the Urban Lounge, some of us made a glittery posterboard with our new name, "The Glinting Gems", and Sean was furious, so we kept the name "Optimus Prime" until finally changing it to "Blue Sparks" before we broke up. It is thus no surprise that my next group, "The Glinting Gems" featured some of these same songs. The purpose of this group was to rake in the dough at preppiest bars in town, like Port-o-call, but the dream was never realized. |

001" "RNR
001" is the first CD release from the Rock'n'Roll Academy in North
Salt Lake. It features the work of the bands Class Act, Depraved Indiference,
and Thunderwear. There were some cool cover songs on the CD, but I've mostly
left them out here. The next CD will be all original music. Yay! The Rock'n'Roll
Academy is a contemporary music art school with a focus on personal expression
