Shallow Grave Productions is pleased to announce that Typhoid Mary has officially released their live album, Typhoid Mary Live
Typhoid Mary recorded their last show at Pop's in St. Louis before founding member Steve Hammond had to break up the band before moving back to Akron.
"It's not the greatest live recording in the history of Rock & Roll but it's damn good and it's definetly the best live show Typhoid Mary had ever done up to that point," Steve Hammond told us. "The album is a tribute to the members of the St. Louis version of the band who made it the best version of Typhoid Mary since the band was founded."
The CD costs $10 and the price includes shipping and handling charges. And for a limited time you can have both Typhoid Mary Live and Eat The Cookie for only $15.
Please write to Shallow Grave Productions for details on how to order.
Shallow Grave Records is pleased to announce that it has released The Attix Anthology - Part One & Two as a tribute to the late Scot "Squatty" White, Typhoid Mary's first road manager.
Before forming Typhoid Mary, Steve Hammond and Jeff Bechter were members of The Attix, an Akron-based band that was one of only a handful of Akron bands who played original material in the late 1980's. Scot was the manager of The Attix but he often sat in on the band's rehearsals as rhythm guitarist before Jeff Bechter joined the band.
Part One of The Attix Anthology features the demo tape the band submitted to Atlantic Records in May of 1988. Part Two features select excerpts from the band's rehearsal tapes recorded at their Wildon Street studio in the Fall of 1987.
The cost of the CD is only $5.00, which includes the cost of shipping, so order your copy today by contacting
Steve Hammond has informed us that he is continuing to comb through The Attix archives for more material which he hopes to release as The Attix Anthology - Part Three & Four by the end of this year.
In January of 1992, the Youngstown version of Typhoid Mary recorded what became known at the EWAS Sessions. Shallow Grave Records plans to release these rehearsal sessions on CD by the end of 2009.
What will be on the CD is unknown so stay tuned for more details. We do know the cover of the albums will look like this:
Here's some Typhoid Mary history from the month of January...
1977 - January 24 - Ish Gish Gibish, a band Steve Hammond co-founded while a junior at Cuyahoga Falls High School, gathers in drummer Ken Stewart's basement to record a demo tape in order to get a gig playing the winter dance at Stow High School. They record a Beatles song, Can't Buy Me Love, two Kiss songs, God Of Thunder and Parasite, and the Troggs classic Wild Thing.
The principal at Stow High School loves the tape and hires Ish Gish Gibish for the dance. Unfortunately, the blizzard of 1977 causes the dance to be cancelled.
1988 - January 09 - Steve Hammond goes on hiatus from The Attix, his current band, to report for classes at The Recording Workshop in Chillicothe, Ohio.
1989 - January 01 - Having just moved back to Akron, Ohio, from Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, the night before, Steve Hammond joins the other originial members of Typhoid Mary for their first rehearsal of 1989 in a house on the south side of Akron.

1989 - January 05 - Steve Hammond contacts Darlene Hall at the Recording Workshop and books a recording session for January 26th. The band plans on going back into the studio as a three-piece band to record Come On.
1989 - January 14 - Just two weeks after their first rehearsal of 1989, Joe Scheeser, who had been missing rehearsals in order to spend time with high school-age girlfriend, is asked to leave Typhoid Mary. This leaves Steve Hammond and Jeff Bechter 11 days to find new band members so they can keep their recording session at the Recording Workshop.
1989 - January 18 - Steve and Jeff visit pay a visit to Jeff's cousin and inadvertently find three new memebers for Typhoid Mary. This new version of Typhoid Mary spends the next six straight days rehearsing Come On in preperation of their upcomming session at the Recording Workshop.
1989 - January 25 - Having decided it would be a good idea to to drive down to Chillicothe the day before their session at the Recording Workshop, the members of Typhoid Mary gather at Guy Bechter's house at 10:00am for the three-hour roadtrip.
The original plan was for the band to stay in a local motel so they would wake up fresh for the session the next day and not have to begin recording immediately following a long roadtrip. That, however, was not the way things actually turned out.
Shortly after everyone arrives at Guy's house the band starts drinking and partying. In fact, they spend most of the day partying, drinking and holding court with their friends and fellow musicians, who stop by to wish them luck, and just hang out. Typhoid Mary finally end up leaving Guy's house at 6:00pm, eight hours later than planned.
After checking in to the Chillicothe Inn, the band spends the rest of the evening on a roadtrip to Columbus, more partying, trying to avoid having the police called on them, Jae and Coy's elusive search for the gallon of Heaven Hill whiskey, more drinking and trying to talk Jeff out his muscle relaxers, which he never gave away.
1989 - January 26 - The day of the recording session for Come On finds Typhoid Mary holed-up in their motel room where they spend most of the day drinking and partying. They arrive at the Recording Workshop stoned, drunk and in full-on rock star mode, and continue partying even more during the session. In fact, Steve drinks so much Heaven Hill he barfs all over the floor in studio C and passes out during the mix-down session. Jeff came to his rescue after the mix-down session but makes Steve clean up his own spew.
The entire day's events are captured on videotape, but Steve rarely ever let's anyone see it. He watches it, alone, every year on January 26th.
