about

These are some treats from the archives: they tunes were recorded under the name The Peppermint Engine, which was KFM's psych-pop alter-ego (featuring, among the usual cast of characters, John from Egghead. and some Ergs), and was the name I would have used for KFM had we not already put out a few singles, cause it's a much better name. A few of these songs appeared on "Half Baked" a very limited cd-r (I believe 16 copies were made) we released as part of a benefit show.
