In the summer of '08 Destroy Babylon embarked on their first tiny tour down the East Coast. Hitting as many cities as possible, including Boston, Hartford, Philly, NYC, DC, Raleigh NC, and Fairfax VA. The final date was on July 4th, where they threw a BBQ/backyard party at Those Guyz crib (ThoseGuyz= HB, Brian, & Icerocks, our NYC producers) in Astoria Queens. It was a dark, overcast day, and they had no time to prepare for this recording. Destroy Babylon played on grass, in the rain, and to a small crowd of people playing Beirut & grilling. They never had any intention of recording a serious live album, and this release is true to their live show- one take, no overdubs, fuck-ups and all. Download "Backyard Babylon" here.
