Live recording of Botonophobia performing bleak guitar noize tunes at Cardiff's Clwb Ifor Bach on the 22nd of July 2000. The usual chaos took place with an ugly old sound engineer turning the mic and PA off halfway through the last song and the drummer and bassist keeping up repetition for the remaining ten minutes, fingers bleeding. Casey, Inigo and Leigh with Gwen (14 year old stand in drummer) and Jim Audio/spastic providing a bit of additional noize. Also includes on the reverse side a selection of similar style tracks from the garage rehersal sessions that took place in preparation for this performance.
