Today, legendary 90s indie rock group Heatmiser - comprised of Elliott Smith, Neil Gust, Tony Lash, and Brandt Peterson - have announced The Music of Heatmiser, a new, 29-song compilation of previously unheard recordings, out October 6th via Third Man Records. Alongside this announcement, the band have shared a version of “Lowlife” from their 1992 demo cassette along with a live video filmed during a 1993 performance in Fort Collins, CO.
The track, formally released in 1993 on Heatmiser’s debut full length Dead Air, comes from the band’s initial demo set, “The Music of Heatmiser,” recorded in the summer of 1992 in Portland, OR and sold at local record shops and shows to build hype for the upstart group. It’s guitar rock, full-blast, through 100 watt Marshall half stacks - which might shock those only familiar with Smith’s whispered, delicate solo work - when grunge was ascendant in the Pacific Northwest and the Portland scene was exploding. Fast, tight, loud, fun.
The legend of Heatmiser began when Neil Gust and Elliott Smith arrived in Portland together in the summer of 1991 to start a new band with drummer/producer Tony Lash. Within a year they added bassist Brandt Peterson on bass, and began playing across the West Coast while demoing dozens of songs for their first LP. Across their brief but essential career, the sound of the band rapidly evolved, but this is Heatmiser right out of the gate. New, energetic, excited, moving quickly through styles, totally broke and making it work in whatever way possible.
Until now, these recordings were available only to the lucky few who were able to attend these early shows. Now, the original set of 6 songs, along with 23 demos, live tracks, rare versions and never before released songs, will be available on vinyl and streaming for the first time through this extraordinary release.

FWIW I signed Heatmiser to Virgin Records in 93, supported all their releases through Mic City Sons (including the solos on KRS and CS until, Brandt left, the band broke up and JJ got exed, I got fired .. Elliott moved over to Dreamworks. Been running Everloving since. The songs from Dead Air will always be the spark that ignited it all.

Oh and for all you Raconteurs fans. I also signed Brendan Benson at the same time (One Miss.) and put Brendan on the road with Heatmiser!

[@MatthijsvanDuijvenboden]

I’ve send this vhs tape to the band. Did I bought the tape from you then ? Must be like 20 years ago or something. I bought an Offspring VHS Denver 1994 and this Heatmiser tape came along with it

[@KingFaderRecordings]

They overlaid the audio of my mix onto your video. I was just told this information.
I mixed them live on KBOO around the same time, they synced the two up. It starts with camera audio and ends with it, but the middle is live on KBOO.@@MatthijsvanDuijvenboden

[@tedhill7834]

​@@MatthijsvanDuijvenbodenyou didn't buy it from me. I just filmed it. I also filmed that Offspring show in '94 at the Azatlan theater.
