Excepter, Pit Er Pat on Second Oneida Cover Tape
Furniture Records released the second of six installments of its Sheets of Easter Everywhere cassette singles club this week. In keeping with the concept of the series, the new volume features covers of Oneida's "Sheets of Easter" by Excepter, Pit Er Pat, and Pterodactyl, among others. Yes, they all do the same song.
Volume 2 clocks in at just under two hours, thanks in part to the Excepter and Pit Er Pat covers, which, at 20+ minutes each, are even longer than the original 14-minute track. The full tracklist, along with running times, is after the jump. Check out Pterodactyl's take via the download below.
Each installment of the series is limited to a run of 300 cassettes, so snatch yours up fast by following the instructions at the series' MySpace. You can also sign up to get each new volume as soon as it is released by sending an email to sheetsofeastereverywhere@gmail.com.
Future volumes of the series will feature "Sheets of Easter" covers by BARR, Plastic Crimewave Sound, Health, Best Fwends, and When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, among others.
As for Oneida themselves, they're celebrating their 10th anniversary as a band with a bash this Saturday, September 1 at PS1 in Queens, New York. Joining them will be buddies Dirty Faces, Ex Models, and Sightings. They have a few shows lined up this fall as well.
