Saint Jude's Day

Saint Jude's Day formed in 1996 when [a=John Mulhouse], drummer for [a=Bombsite] and the [a=Kung Fools], and [a=Kris Anderson], bassist of [a=The Strike (2)], began playing after their respective bands broke up. [a=Zak Boerger] joined on guitar and vocals and the trio started writing and practicing in earnest. This full-band version of Saint Jude's Day proved to be short-lived, however, when Kris left to pursue other endeavors. Zak and John continued, rehearsing a variety of originals, as well as covers by Gang of Four, the Rolling Stones, and The Who. After unsuccessful attempts to find a full-time bassist or second guitarist, it was decided in late 1997 to disband Saint Jude's Day after recording the completed originals. For the recording, [a=Mark Wilcox] of [a=Destroy!], [a=Impetus Inter], and [a=No Statik], amongst others, played bass. In 2004, Saint Jude's Day reconvened to record new material and play two shows. For this recording, in addition to Zak and John, [a=Scott Cook] of [a=Porcelain Boys], [a=Bombsite], and [a=The Ronnie Buxtons] played bass. Zak would go on to play in psyche-folk project [a=These Wonderful Evils].
