Slow Gherkin- Double Happiness

Label: Raj

Released 1996

With their third-wave influence of hyper-active ska-punk that the likes of The MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES and OPERATION IVY first debuted, SLOW GHERKIN wanted to bring their own playful style of this genre to their native Santa Cruz, California. But like most ska-punk bands who's over crowded line-up could have the tendency to out number the audience, SLOW GHERKIN were also cursed with a revolving line-up since their 1994 debut; a line up that at one point featured ten members. Despite SLOW GHERKIN's membership change, the band still managed to release a split CD EP with Jeffries Fan Club in 1996, which was followed by the seven-inch "Death of A Salesman" that same year.
