Southern Lord has released digital, fully remastered versions of both Engine Kid full-lengths: Bear Catching Fish and Angel Wings via bandcampe with proceeds to benefit Midnight Mission.
The two new versions were remastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (From Ashes Rise, Obituary, Nails, Jesus Piece) and feature updated artwork -- and are on sale via a a "pay what you want" basis. The Los Angeles-based homeless shelter Midnight Mission benefit was chosen to honor original drummer Chris Vandebrooke, who was murdered near a homeless encampment by the LA River/Griffith Park in 2016.
Formed in Seattle in 1991, Engine Kid's original lineup featured guitarist/vocalist Greg Anderson (Southern Lord, Sunn O))), Thorrs Hammer, Goatsnake), drummer Chris Vandebrooke, and bassist Art Behrman and later included bassist Brian Kraft (Krafty) and drummer Jade Devitt. They disbanded in 1995 following a split with Iceburn.
