Album Notes

Big Green Limousine is an original, four-piece, hard rock band from a Philadelphia suburb known as Phoenixville. Back in 1994, BGL began playing shows in basements and wherever they could find an ear. After recording a demo, the quartet quickly gained an impressive following of fans and friends. The following several years were challenging as BGL sought to find their own sound and maintain permanent members. Guitar and bass players came and went...each leaving their individual mark on the evolutionary process. Skip ahead to 1999, where the remaining original members (Noecker and Reid) found their connection with local musicians Woods and Miller, fusing their line-up and forming a collective vision of world domination.

Big Green Limousine's live show is a flurry of hard rock pop songs, laced with a driving, melodic, punk edge. Music, stage props, and the occasional costume rental have made BGL one of the area's premiere hard rock acts. Every performance is different from the last, due in part to the band's absolute demand for attention. Irreverent humor, audience participation, and loud, fast music are all staples of a BGL show. Their enthusiasm for performing has enabled them to sell thousands of demos, t-shirts, and other merchandise in nine different states.

To further promote the Big Green Limousine experience, the band decided to enter the studio and cut an album. With the help of producer Frank Phobia, mixer Joe Mattis of Pumptown Studio, engineer Matt Edgecomb of LVC Studios, and mastering by Tom Volpicelli, Big Green Limousine recorded their first release 40's, Beef Jerky and Porn. This recording combines heavy alternative with the snappy, melodic attitude of skate punk. To wash it down, BGL introduced the big green lager, a micro-brewed, German-style lager produced by Chester County Brewing Co. 40's, Beef Jerky and Porn also brought with it personal selection of "You Should Know" by Dave Mirra ("The Dave Mirra Show") on ESPN. In addition, "She's Alive" was selected for inclusion on the first drp compilation featuring 44 local artists distributed for college and internet airplay.

Big Green Limousine's shameless self-promotion and attention to detail on a shoestring budget have gained them an ever increasing following and respectable sales. This following projects the anticipated success of their upcoming release Title Track Conspiracy.
