Slouching Towards Liverpool


Slouching Towards Liverpool is an EP that includes live performances of songs from The [Loud Family]'s first album, Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things, as well as some live studio tracks recorded at WNUR-FM in Evanston, Illinois.
"Back of a Car" is a cover version of a song by Big [Star (band)|Big Star], while "Erica's Word" is a cover version of a song by the Loud Family leader Scott Miller's earlier band, Game Theory. Michael Quercio, leader of The Three O'Clock and a member of Game Theory in 1989 and 1990, plays bass guitar on "The Come On".
The EP's title alludes to William Butler Yeats's poem The [Second Coming (poem)|The Second Coming], which ends with the lines "And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?" The Loud Family's use is a nod to both Scott Miller's literary interests and to the hometown of The Beatles.
