If you just click these links you might not get there. When it asks you what to save the file as put (songname).mp3 .. for example, if you're downloading Sacristy, put sacristy.mp3 ... otherwise it will save the file as "mp3-download.cgi" and NOBODY wants THAT!

LIVE FROM THA CHICKEN COOP

Despite reports that Yellow Five would be playing a song or two at the "coffee house" in the Hume Fogg cafeteria, it was a case of "Nobody here but us chickens", well...musically anyway. After all, there were a few dozen of the million...GOD and the millions of the Chickens' fans there. The unthinkable is happening, as after a good show, the Chickens seem to be starting to gain some RESPECT.

DISH IZH DEFF!

A new era in the Surfing Chickens began on July 11th, 1998. Luke, David, and Daniel got together at Luke's house (Marshall and Bennett were unavailable) and jammed with Luke on bass, David on guitar, and Daniel playing his new keyboard. The new part was that they were running through Daniel's Tascam 4-track. The higher fidelity sound, the ability to individually manipulate the levels of the separate instruments, and the new keyboard make these new recordings the highest quality pieces produced by the Surfing Chickens and may lead to the recording of an actual album. The songs are improv pieces about which the Chickens are very excited, especially the ominous "Line Out".
