The song - taken from Ween's 1992 record Pure Guava and written two years before – was inspired by a fight between Gene Ween and Dean Ween at a gas station when the latter almost joined another band for a tour of Japan. "I still have it somewhere written on the back of the gas station slips...," Dean later said during a Cameo video for a fan.
Seabird – who released second album Trash Mountain via Lame-O Records last spring – has spent most of her time on the road in recent years, performing her own music and as a touring bassist with Greg Freeman, Lutalo, and Liz Cooper. “Trash Mountain" is a pink house back home, surrounded by other artists and creatives situated on a decommissioned landfill site at the back of Burlington’s Old North End.
Seabird's cover was part of a secret session for Best Fit at September's End of the Road, which also saw pop-up sets from The Orchestra (For Now), Throwing Muses, Truman Sinclair, Squid, Tyler Ballgame, Jake Xerxes Fussell, The Sophs, Ellie O'Neill, Man/Woman/Chainsaw, jasmine.4.t, and Stewart Lee with Black Country, New Road.
Best Fit's secret sessions have become a key part of End of the Road each year, bringing together artists from across the line-up in a series of short sets, exclusive covers, collaborations, and live interviews and Q&As. Past guests have included Lucy Dacus, St Vincent, Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Moses Sumney, Laura Marling, Patti Smith, and Frightened Rabbit - who played a now iconic version of "The Modern Leper".
End of the Road returns this autumn for its 20th anniversary edition, with headliners Pulp, Mac DeMarco, CMAT, Super Furry Animals, Fat Dog, Kurt Vile and one super-secret name yet to be revealed.
