Flash back, to a time of big men and bigger babies! A time not unlike today but what, simpler-like? Shit. January, 2016. The times: scary. Tomorrow: kiss it goodbye. This was the headspace for Emotional Mugger's necksnapping sketch when it dropped that very month those ten fateful years ago. Off the back of 2014's expansive Manipulator and the months of touring that followed, Ty was down to party with whatever extreme, flipped-script scene came welling up through him. Emotional Mugger, its forked tongue stuffed in deep cheek, landed the jump, putting the 'sick' back into 'satiric' and the 'the fuh!?!" back into 'FUN!', featuring eleven of the most rancid & monstrous cuts in the Segall catalog EVEN AS OF TODAY sequenced, as ever, with an almost mystic third eye/ear predilection for the immaculate distribution of album gravity. The fun didn't stop there. Ty'd played most of the parts on the album, excepting some key drop-ins from close associates, including Wand's Cory Hanson and Evan Burrows, The Cairo Gang's Emmett Kelly, Mikal Cronin and King Tuff himself, Kyle Thomas. The vibes were so right with this crew, he dubbed them The Muggers, stretched a rubber baby mask over his head (with extra space sliced out for his mouth to scream through), and they all hit the road a few weeks in front of the album, rolling over the US through the end of March, then heading to Europe for some more. That's when "LIVE" "AT" "THE" "BBC" happened.
