![]() ![]() “You may do it extempore”, says Quince, “for it is nothing but roaring”. This leads Snug to ask, “Have you the lion’s part written? Pray you, if it be, give it me, for I am slow of study”. The leader of the group, Peter Quince assigns Snug (back then a joiner was a cabinet maker), the role of the Lion. ![]() ![]() A group of workers, referred to as “hempen homespuns, rude mechanicals”, decide to put on a play before the wedding, “The most lamentable comedy and most cruel death of Pyramus and Thisbe”. Over the course of the night many plots unfold involving both Athenians and inhabitants of the spirit world. The action takes place in Athens the night before the wedding of Theseus, Duke of Athens and Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons. The answer is no, Snug the Joiner is a minor character in A Midsummer’s Night Dream, a play written by William Shakespeare in the late 1500s. ![]() ‘A Very Snug Joiner,’ people have asked if the title of the record is some kind of obscure drug reference. Back then it would have been bad form to call the band Marijuana, so we used this home grown euphemism. Nick Prout: Yes, totally a drug reference. How did you decide to use the names “Mad Timothy” and “A Very Snug Joiner’? Was it a reference to Timothy Leary or am I completely wrong? We recruited Don Topar as he was the best singer we knew, and Ken Collins asked to join. We invited him to jam and Mad Timothy was born. When I heard him play I was stunned at how good he was. I knew Steve Heinlein but didn’t know he played the guitar. No recordings.Ĭan you elaborate the formation of Mad Timothy?Īndy Beers: Nick Prout and I had played in other bands and were interested in playing together in a more creative context. Were you part of any other bands before forming Mad Timothy? What kind of material did you play? Any recordings or releases by them?Īndy Beers: We all played in other bands previous to Mad Timothy. When we decided to make a recording we needed material. Nick Prout: The purpose of Mad Timothy was to make our own way in the creative musical environment of the late 1960s. When did you decide that you wanted to start writing and performing your own music? What brought that about for you? I started drum lessons in fourth grade and began playing guitar at 14. The rest of the band grew up in New Jersey and played various instruments from an early age.Īndy Beers: I looked at accordion lessons when I was seven but it didn’t stick. Music has always been an important part of my life. Would you like to talk a bit about your background? Where and when did you grow up? Was music a big part of your family life?Īndy Beers: I grew up in Wisconsin, then moved to Florida and then New Jersey. “The music of the time was very much inspired by psychedelics” There’s an unreleased track that will soon be uploaded to the website.

Out-Sider / Guerssen in collaboration with Steve’s Galactic Archive imprint issued a vinyl edition of the Mad Timothy demo album, hoping that any of the band members will see it and they actually did. Very cool sludgy Blue Cheer/Majic Ship/Mount Rushmore kind of vibe–with a few folkier tracks-it’s all pretty charmingly primitive– I think people would want to hear this!” Steve Krakow “A friend of mine found this no-jacket LP at a thrift shop, and there is ZERO information on them–no one knows anything and I’ve spoken to many collectors. In the summer of 1969 they recorded nine songs for a demo album. Mad Timothy was a heavy rock band active in central New Jersey from mid 1968 to mid 1970.
