Jack Endino's Musical Discography

Jack's Performance Discography...

I was wondering how many records I had played on over the years, in whatever musical capacity (OK, studio handclaps & tambourine parts don't count...) so I finally decided to make a list, for my own amusement and for anyone else who might care. I had never kept track until now! Note: it makes me uneasy to play on records that I am also producing/engineering, so I NEVER suggest it; but IF people ASK me specifically, I rarely refuse. I like to play.

Boy, memory lane here...

1986 - "Deep Six" Compilation LP, C/Z Records (various artists):
Played guitar on two songs by my band, Skin Yard, my first recorded appearance in any capacity.

1986 - "Skin Yard" Debut Album, C/Z Records:
Played Guitar and other noises and co-wrote all material, as on all other Skin Yard albums/singles. This is the first record I ever recorded.

1987 - Skin Yard, "Gelatin Babies/Bleed" single, C/Z Records:
Guitar and Slide Fuzz Bass.

1988 - Skin Yard, "Stranger/This Lonely Place" single, Toxic Shock Records:
Guitar and Slide Fuzz Bass.

1988 - Skin Yard, "Hallowed Ground", 2nd album, Toxic Shock: Lotsa guitar damage and slide bass.

1988 - Jimmy Bee and the Stingers, "Language of Tail Wagging" LP, Beeswax:
Blues guy, one of the nicest Reciprocal clients. I think I played bass on a couple of his songs.

1988 - "Secretions" Comp LP, C/Z Records (various artists):
Guitar on one Skin Yard track, drums on one Crypt Kicker Five track.

1988 - Sub Pop 200 Compilation Triple EP, Sub Pop (various artists):
After recording most of this, my one musical contribution turned out to be doing some backing vocals on Nirvana's track, "Spank Thru".

1988 - Big Tube Squeezer, "Mood Piece/Sweet Jane" single, Candy From a Stranger:
Played a guitar solo on one song by Whiting Tennis's excellent and underappreciated Seattle band.

1988? - "Lowlife" Compilation LP, Ironwood Records:
Played bass on one song with Terry Lee Hale and the Ones, a combo I played with for a couple years, but this is our only released song and a damned sad version of it. I have lots more tapes, maybe someday we'll do something with 'em.

1989 - Jack Endino, "Angle of Attack", Bobok Ltd (Toxic Shock):
My first solo album: played the drums, bass, guitar, vocals and some percussions bits. Greg Gilmore also played drums on a song, and added percussion to several.

1989 - Big Tube Squeezer, "I Have a Thing For Love" LP, Candy From a Stranger:
I think I played an itty bitty solo at the end of one song. Whiting's band, their full LP.

1989 - Skin Yard, "Start at the Top/Watch" single, Sub Pop:
Guitar and Slide Fuzz Bass again.

1989 - Screaming Trees, "Buzz Factory" SST:
Sang some low backing vocals on one song.

1989 - Crypt Kicker Five, "Fourth Hole/Bedouin Stomp" single, C/Z Records:
Played drums, as I did for 5 years with this band, but the only other things we managed to release were two compilation cuts. I have over an album's worth of other stuff mixed down, and just need to digitize it...

1989 - Skin Yard, "Fist Sized Chunks", 3rd album, Cruz Records: All guitars except for Tommy Accused guesting on one song, and Helios Creed on another.

1990 - Mark Lanegan, "The Winding Sheet", Sub Pop:
Played bass on six songs (five are credited), and some wah guitar on the end of "Down in the Dark."

1991 - Skin Yard, "1000 Smiling Knuckles", 4th album, Cruz Records: All guitars and some slide bass.

1991 - Skin Yard, "Bulldog/1000 Smiling Knuckles" vinyl 10-inch, Cruz Records: All guitars.

1992 - "Endino's Earthworm" album, Cruz Records:
My second "solo" album. Played guitar, bass, drums and vocals on this; others included Barrett Martin (his first released performance), Greg Gilmore, Dan House, Rob Skinner.

1992 - Screaming Trees, "Dollar Bill/Tomorrow's Dream/Peace in the Valley/Winter Song" CD single, Epic Records:
I got to record the last three of these songs (Lanegan singing Ozzy! Good, too!), and played slide guitar on this version of "Winter Song", not on the album. They couldn't credit me because I'm not a musician's union member, and technically you can't play on a major label release otherwise, because all the major labels (unlike indies) have union agreements. Didn't know that, did ya?

1993 - Hole, "Beautiful Son/Dakota/Old Age" single, City Slang (UK):
The "Encyclopedia of Northwest Rock" says Leslie Hardy played bass on these songs but that is not correct. She is mysteriously pictured on the sleeve but was not at the sessions, in fact I'm not sure if she ever actually joined the band. (??) I played bass on "Beautiful Son." Courtney played bass on the other songs. Hole had no bassist at the time. I recorded and mixed 'em all (in one or two days). Not credited because on the single, no one is credited for anything, so no big deal. Same song appears on the Geffen "Rarities" album. In any case they can't acknowledge me because I'm not a union member.

1993 - Titãs, "Titanomaquia", Warner Brasil:
Played some guitar somewhere on here, one or two songs. Credited because the foreign major label affiliates do not have union agreements. Life is funny.

1993 - Skin Yard, "Inside The Eye", 5th album, Cruz Records: Lotsa guitar and some backing vocals.

1993 - Skin Yard, "Undertow/Inside the Eye/Kerosene (live)" vinyl 10 inch, Cruz Records: Lotsa guitar.

1994 - Guillotina, "Guillotina", Warner Mexico:
Played a guitar solo on one song.

1994 - Mark Lanegan, "Whisky for the Holy Ghost", Sub Pop:
Played bass on two songs.

1996 - Titãs, "Domingo", Warner Brasil:
Played some guitar on one song.

1996 - Guillotina, "Rock Mata Pop", Warner Mexico
Played a guitar solo on one song.

1998 - The Day I Fell Down, "Sweet to be Strange", Samson Music:
Sang some Basso Profundo backing vocals on song "Chiaroscuro".

1999 - Hellacopters w/Scott Morgan, "Slow Down/16 With a Bullet" single, Sub Pop:
Played a short guitar solo at the start of one song. Honest, they made me do it.

1999 - Titãs, "As Dez Mais", Warner Brasil:
Played rhythm guitar on the song "Aluga-se", a Raul Seixas cover tune that became a hit single for Titãs in Brazil, plus played bass on another song.

2000 - Steve Detray, "Signs of Life":
Played bass on three songs on my old friend Steve's solo CD.

2001 - Zen Guerrilla, "The Trooper/Mob Rules" single, Safety Pin Records (Spain):
Played 2nd guitar on their version of "The Trooper." Run to the hills, people.

2001 - Wellwater Conspiracy, "Of Dreams/Hal McBlaine" vinyl single, TVT Records:
Played bass on just the live version of Hal McBlaine here... recorded at Key Arena, Seattle, Nov. 6, 2000, while opening for Pearl Jam!

2001 - Therapy?, "Denim Demon" on the "Alpha Motherfuckers" Turbonegro comp-tribute CD (Germany):
Played rhythm guitar on Therapy's Turbonegro cover.

2001 - Titãs, "A Melhor Banda" CD, Abril Music (Brazil.):
Played rhythm guitar on 8 songs, and bass on 3 songs.

(... That's a lotta stuff considering I never volunteer to do this! That's what happens when you are around musicians in the studio all the time...)
