In existence long enough to perform some live shows and record a mini-album, The Mistaken consisted of Gregg Turner – lead vocals (Angry Samoans vocalist and guitarist), rhythm guitar; Mark Givens – bass; Elizabyth Burtis – drums; Metal Mike Saunders – fuzz guitars, backing vocals, all guitar leads (Angry Samoans vocalist and guitarist). Released in a limited vinyl pressing in 1987, these recordings are thought by many to be the “long lost” Angry Samoans album from the 86-88 period. With “Yesterday Started Tomorrow” (1986) and “STP Not LSD” (1988) as its bookends, this mini-album is considered by Gregg Turner to be the best Angry Samoans record (after the first two), if counting this album’s collaboration between him and Metal Mike as a semi-Angry Samoans venture. The album includes a Metal Mike tune from his bottomless vault of cassettes full of his unused/unheard material with “I Just Can’t Give You Nothin”, the Gregg Turner penned songs “Pack of Wolfs,” (with blistering guitar riffs by MM), “Stranded in Some Other Time”, “Kingdom of My Mind” and “Another Lost Heartache”. The album is rounded out with two outstanding cover songs, the Velvet Underground’s “I’m Set Free” and P.F. Sloan’s “Eve of Destruction”.
