When Durango Management setup a studio in the Gem building in Birmingham, England in late 2001, it was Shipman/Grimsley who recorded for Nice Goose Records. A mixture of Lo-Fi and New Digital, the recordings mixed multi-instrumentalism with comedy and carbon monoxide from a gas heater which was the only ways of heating the vast studio room. The Durango Sessions were born.
