Disc 2

edit

While never formally released, The Californian Disc 2 was intended to be a “live” album of songs with a raw feel, and was recorded in studio, with an audience track to be mixed in later. Schneider eventually made most of these tracks available (sans audience track) as a reward for backers of his album King Kong, through PledgeMusic.

Tracks included "Assknocker", "Hillbilly Elephant", "Still Life", "Trouble Down The Line", "Run Away With The Sun", "Murder", "C'mon Baby", "New Warrior", "Hell Yeah", "A Sweet Sound", "June", "Long Way Down", "Ventilation" and "Wicked Little Man".
