"Sitting down for the first time and attempting to play some old tunes seemed a disaster. Not one of us had played with a live band for 3 years. As we began rewriting parts of songs, and trying to perfect others, it reminded me of a freshly opened puzzle; pieces dumped over the calm surface turning it into confusion and giving a new meaning to chaos. Frustration was present, for it seemed difficult at times to find the right piece to fit the right location. But as we slowly began to place piece by piece, linking them to form the true image, that frustration seemed to leave, and the feeling of music seemed to take its place. The puzzle of music is endless, for as one progresses, a new image is formed." These are the words of Ty, drummer of the Green Peanuts referring to the decision by the Green Peanuts to play again.

After taking a break from the band for a few years, the Green Peanuts return with "In Disguise", a collection of some older songs reworked, as well as some new songs. Ben, the saxophonist of the band gives some further insight into the CD: "We've named the CD "In Disguise." It comes from a line in the song "A in Physics" talking about how something is hell in disguise. We dropped the hell because, well, we live in Utah. I once drove by a sign advertising that X96's Radio from Hell program would be there, except it said "Radio from Heck." Yup, Utah is great. The cover goes with the theme hell in disguise. It's very bright and happy looking, but it's the salt flats, not a nice place."

The CD was released entirely by the Peanuts. Everything from the recording of the CD to the artwork was done by the Peanuts. This CD is their child, a child who's only parent is the band.

Described as "a bit edgier than your normal bubblegum ska" by Portia of the Utah radio station x96, this CD is sure to get your toes tapping and your voice singing along.
