Waking up on Mistake Street is Scheisse Minnelli's first recording with Adam Schwartz who they met on different tours with Pennywise and Jello Biafra. After recording 3 LPs with Archi Alert the band wanted to try something different. They packed their bags and when to record in Copenhagen. In one week they recorded all the instruments live and also the vocals. Most of the music was done in 2 days. The LP is also the first they wrote and recorded with their new drummer Marlon. His style is different and though the music sticks to the Scheisse Minnelli sound it also explores some new areas that they were expanding into. The lyrics are mostly about actual real life experiences they have lived through themselves or people they know personally. Some about criminal pasts, dealing with the world and others about experimentation with things like DMT. The album title itself and title track is about a night they played with Pennywise in Berlin at SO36. The next day one band member was missing and we needed to get to a festival. He texted and said to pick him up at 'Fehler Str 1' everyone thought it was a joke cause the exact translation of the address is 'Mistake Street 1.' Therefore waking up on Mistake Street. No Joke....
