Background

Joe Camilleri says; "I was really into zydeco music, so I got a bunch of desperadoes together, including Steve McTaggart on violin, George Butrumlis on piano accordion, Paul Williamson on clarinet, Wayne Burt on guitar, Wayne Duncan on bass, and Gary Young on drums. We did a couple of gigs and said, Hey, let’s make a record. I’d recommend that any band do things themselves. Making a record can be as expensive or as inexpensive as you want. You can make a record on a credit card, if you want." [1]

gollark: I didn't mean me personally either.
gollark: I *also* think your assumptions of malice are wrong, but thing.
gollark: Mostly if it's easier than working out how something works from scratch.
gollark: Actually, GTech™ is universal and I may reverse engineer things at random.
