Scratchrock Volume 07 - 1992-1993
In a brazen attempt to rocket to the top of the charts, the Hidden replaces Paul M. with the more marketable
Brian M. The new lineup releases the "Bone of Contention" EP in late '92. They make the first of many
appearances at the legendary Czar Bar on January 15th, 1993. Following a D.I.Y. aesthetic, the Hidden creates
Troglodyte Music, Ltd. for promotion and to set up gigs.
Fueled by Lambrusco and playing out constantly (occasionally with the free jazz sax of T.S. Henry Webb), the
Hidden worked to conquer the rock world from their freezing rented storefront. Thanks to financing from Lee P.,
the Hidden signed to Iguana Trifle Recordings in early '93, bestowing upon the world a CD entitled "Stop. I'm
Bleeding." Radio and press exposure ensued. In my spare time, I continued experimenting with effects and new
recording techniques.
