Sucking Coeds – Team Heat

This rare album contains 16 tracks and the following players; Andrew Wilkes Krier, Aaron Dilloway, Brad Hales, Twig Harper, Julie Huntington, Nate Young, and Tom Smith. It was released on the record label Gods of Tundra on CD-R in 2001.

From Tom Smith:

“I met Andrew in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1996. I was in the midst of a production tour, and wanted to record an album’s worth of material with Aaron Dilloway and Julie Huntington, both former members of the magnificent mid-90s teen no-wave coven The Galen. Aaron assembled a stellar cast of Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor luminaries for the project, which was soon christened Sucking Coeds. Among them were future members of Wolf Eyes, Nautical Almanac, Metalux… and Andrew Wilkes-Krier. He was totally cool (he must have been 16 at the time), utterly lacking in pretense, and enthusiastic as hell. We recorded for the better part of two days (Andrew played drums and treatment-slathered drum machine; I played optigon and T. Rex cut-ups), but unfortunately the tapes were lost, or burned, eaten, something. The only record that survived was a cassette copy made on a 15-year-old stereo Walkman clone with failing batteries. Nonetheless, in 2001 the droogs at Gods of Tundra released Team H.E.A.T., a re-mastered, pitch-corrected CD-R of the sessions. It’s ultra low-fi, hardly begins to convey the sounds we produced, but it stakes out an aesthetic nonetheless.”
