GOOBERSMOOCHERS was an on-going recording project that consisted of Mike Scaccia (Guitar, etc) and myself (Drums, etc) from a band called MINISTRY. The recordings were created 'on the side', as it were -- in dressing rooms, backstage areas, hotel rooms, busses, rehearsal rooms, wherever, and then home studios. Part of the purpose of the project was to relax, be experimental and mess around. Another part was to be serious... as we wrote songs for MINISTRY's "Houses of the Mole'" LP and then for some years afterwards, circa 2001-2008. We wound up with 4 LPs and 1 EP worth of material. This collection of songs is culled from the entire collection and represents, to me, some of our best material. It was pretty hard to choose. I love all of GOOBERSMOOCHERS recordings, but there is quite a bit of it, and much of it is kinda “out there”. I felt like an "intro to" LP would be helpful to attract more attention to this project...it should be remembered! I also went back and remastered them to squeeze just a little more juice out.
This is, by the way, the first time GOOBERSMOOCHERS music appears in a physical form. All of our material is available digitally, here, at:

I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to know and work with Mike. Its hard to believe, but TODAY, Dec 23rd, 2017, marks 5 years since his passing. Mike Scaccia was a badass, and was a genuine, nice fellow to boot. RIP, my brother.
