About Cooley's Market
COOLEY'S MARKET FORMED IN MORENO VALLEY, CALIFORNIA AROUND THE SPRING OF 1996. A SKACORE BAND WITH COREY CARLSON ON LEAD VOCALS, MIKE THOMAS ON GUITAR, PETE BARRETTA ON BASS, CURTIS CARLSON ON DRUMS, AND JOHNNY COLLINS ON TROMBONE. FORMER "JUMP WITH JOEY" TRUMPETER ALBERT BALDERAS USED TO SIT IN WITH THEM AND REHEARSE WITH THEM, AND THE BAND PERFORMED SEVERAL GIGS AT SUCH NOTABLE VENUES AS THE SHOWCASE THEATER IN CORONA AND THE GLASS HOUSE IN POMONA. A FEW MONTHS LATER THEY DID A RECORDING SESSION AT THE LO-FI STUDIOS OUT OF REDLANDS WHICH WOUND UP A YEAR LATER AS A FOUR TRACK 7" 45 RPM E.P. ON THE NOW DEFUNCT JUPITER LABEL WHICH BALDERAS PRODUCED AND WHICH ONLY ABOUT 200 RECORDS WERE PRESSED. THE TRACKS INCLUDED "PICK A FIGHT" AND "TWEEKY JAY" ON THE A SIDE WITH "COOLEY'S JAM AND "ROWE CAN'T TAN" ON SIDE B. ALL SELECTIONS WERE WRITTEN BY THE BAND EXCEPT FOR THE SKA INSTRUMENTAL "COOLEY'S JAM" BY BALDERAS, WHICH SEGUES INTO "ROWE CAN'T TAN." COPIES OF THE VERY RARE E.P.ARE STILL AVAILABLE AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE SESSION ON CD THROUGH JAZZFIDELITY@HOTMAIL.COM THE BAND EVENTUALLY RE-RECORDED "TWEEKY JAY" WHICH WOUND UP ON THE "BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE" CD, BUT MANY AGREE THAT THIS RE-RECORDED VERSION THOUGH WELL PRODUCED WAS NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL.
