Complete Demos is the combination of the band's previous two EP's, Party Boobytrap and Welcome To Tally Hall EP, in addition to Banana Man. It was released on November 11th, 2004 on CD.[1]
Overview
After the release of the Welcome To Tally Hall EP, the band decided to combine their two EPs into one compilation CD. The band would remix and overdub parts onto their original Party Boobytrap recordings to touch them up for its release. Joe Hawley's Banana Man is the only original track on this compilation, which was recorded and released as a single in November 2003.[2]
Most of the tracks went on to be retooled and re-recorded for Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, with the exception of Stationary Love and (I Know) It's Just The Same.
Drummer and gray tie Steve Gallagher would leave the band in the middle of May 2004, leading to new drummer Ross Federman taking his place on the album cover. Steve still performs drums on the demos though, as they had been recorded before his leaving.[1]
It was released on CD on November 11th, 2004 and was sold at concerts on and their website, some being signed by the band themselves. Tracks would also be uploaded to sites like Broadjam, Indie911, and the band's website.
In December of 2015, the album would be re-released on Bandcamp[1] alongside Admittedly Incomplete Demos, a collection of unfinished demo tracks, and previously unreleased material.[3]
