Slovenly – Highway To Hanno's

In an interview with Perfect Sound Forever from April 2019, Tom Watson, Steve Anderson and Tim Plowman had to say the following about the making of the record:

Tom: I had re-relocated back to Los Angeles, and got married, but would go up for gigs as they came... Less and less. We had done one EP on Ajax Records in Chicago called Drive It Home, Abernathy, but other than that we weren't making new music together between '88 and '91. Basically, everyone got busy with other things, but then we got a connection at a nice studio in San Francisco and SST was up for it, so we put together a strange collection of tunes and some free-form stuff and just went for it pretty much live. I'm not crazy about the mix, and in some ways, it was a little bit less than satisfying for me. I think for others too, from there things just kind of slowed to an uncertain point. We always wanted to do more, but San Francisco ran its course for me, and except for Rob and Scott coming back to LA, we couldn't get things together as a band anymore.

Tim: This is just my opinion - really don't like that record. The producer was an idiot. The band was pretty fucked up on a variety of substances. We barely practiced leading up to that record – the songs never really gelled. Tom was living in LA at that point – so we were already sort of broken up at that point. That record never should have been made. Probably why we broke up. I think we played one or two more shows after that - one of which was at the dive bar, Hanno's, down the street from the studio. Nice bar, fun show. Might have been our last show.

Steve: Yeah, that's an odd one. I don't dislike it, but it's flawed for sure. We were for all intents and purposes broken. We hadn't been rehearsing or writing new music. Tom had moved back to Los Angeles. Things were tenuous personally and not conducive to creativity. But I like maybe half of it. Probably should have scrubbed away the chaff and put out a healthy EP.
