Whereas "Captain John..." was recorded in various places all over NJ and NY in a span of over two years, "Dig a Hole" was tracked in the Pocono Mountains in PA during one April weekend in 2009.

Eric Truchan, the greatest drummer in the world (fact), accompanied me to my uncle Jack Petruzzelli's studio in the mountains of Pennsylvania (how adventurous!) to record, what we believed would be, a confident, nasty, aggressive follow-up to our first album. Instead, we came out with the record you may be listening to now.

Due to financial constrains (and I may have broken up the band shortly after finishing it), I never had the money to get it mixed or mastered so it's been sitting on my hard drive for three years. I've always looked back on this album like it's a sort of time capsule of one of the weirdest periods of my life. I'm glad I finally mustered up the courage to give it a facelift in my recording software and share it.

A word of caution: This album is still unmixed and mastered. The audio quality isn't perfect but it's great considering, thanks to the amazing job our engineer, Rich Lamb, did while recording us. Also, if your only experience with St. Sat B is the goofy "Captain John" era stuff, you're in for a surprise. This one is quite different.

Hope you like it!

PS. The bonus track, "The Big House," is a demo version of a song that eventually became "Old News." It wasn't recorded during this session but it's the same time period. It's a home recording that I also play drums (poorly) on.
