about

August 12th 1994
(originally released by Jon Woodstock on the various artists tape 'Bomb Droppings', August 1994, produced by Jon Woodstock)

Personnel: Dave Willemain - keyboard/lyrics, Mike Apichella - guitar, Jon Woodstock - drums, Luke Mysko - vocals/effects processor,
Cory Davolos - bass.

A confrontational performance artist, a dedicated activist, an absurd prankster, a poet, a great story-teller, a Rabelaisian satirist, a consumate record collector, an innovative composer of catchy musical hooks and anthemic melodies, a hopeless romantic, a good friend, a loyal son, a pure iconoclast: Dave Willemain was loved for being every one of these things and much more. This artist's deep seeded versatility was also embodied in many of his best creations and rarely was this more evident than in Willemain's work with the the short lived group T.E.A.M.

...T.E.A.M. was probably the weirdest party band ever. A musical description beyond that would be pointless. There is however plenty more to be said about the group's leader. Instead of asking his bandmates to passively perform as side musicians, Dave Willemain led them to a strange new path where T.E.A.M.'s music could be used to freely explore the limitless forest of ideas that brought so much life to his own imagination. His presence upon this path was like that of a benevolent ranger happy only to have a tenuous effect on the fate of some Quixotic moment at the crossroads of cathartic destiny. The way in which Dave Willemain used his all-encompassing personal philosophy as a guiding light for T.E.A.M.'s musical wanderlust was just one of many great things that made him an amazing artist and an unforgettable human being. - Mike Apichella (note: a much longer version of this article is featured in the 40 pg. booklet which accompanies the cassette version of Towson-Glen Arm Freakouts.)
