extended show notes by Jon Weber:
This is a stellar and unspeakably good show.

This night was billed as "Will Bernard & Motherbug" but was
more like "Will Bernard & Friends" or "Otherbug".  Motherbug's regular
bassist and keyboardist were both sick this night, so Will brought in
two young guns -- Hogan and Auberg -- at the last minute.  
This lineup had never even rehearsed together once.  
However, both Will and Mike Auberg have done some
recording with the Bay Area hip hop group THE COUP, hence the
multitude of Coup covers.  (FYI, check out Will on the Coup's
"STEAL THIS ALBUM", where he is billed under the pseudonym
"Bernard Williams").  

This show also marked the debut of Will's
short-lived foray into using a keyboard sampler on stage... 
he had a small Roland keyboard set up which he would 
occasionally tweak with samples
or weird analog synth noises.  It had a scratch pad too, to give
a DJ effect.  Unfortunately this keyboard only showed
up at 3 or 4 subsequent Motherbug shows, last rearing its
head in Portland OR on 3/17/01.  

A final note: this is the very first
show where the "OTHERBUG" nickname came about... Will joked that
this lineup should be called Otherbug or Anotherbug.  In 2002,
Will would wind up doing a few short tours of the East Coast
with a lineup he called "Otherbug" (it didn't feature any
members playing on this recording however).

In case you're wondering why the sets are so short, this venue
always has the band play 3 short sets, for what is predominantly
a "dinner-eating" crowd.
