ET CETERA

This is Thirsty Boys' only release. It was originally released only on cassette. They also had two songs on the 'Extremism...' compilation.

The title refers to the original packaging idea which was to use empty army surplus tin cans from Sunny's Surplus in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. The idea was canned most likely because either the cassette wouldn't fit in the can or the cans cost too much.

We ended up sticking the cassette and insert into Ziploc bags.

Tim Moran is listed on the liner notes as "Gustave Hasse." Phil Krauth as "Tex Krauth."

All Thirsty Boys songs are instrumentals.
