Zechs Marquise quickly created a stir in their hometown and built a solid fan base within the southwest cities that they had visited on the road.
That studio effort was later scrapped and instead in June 2006 the band released 34:26 EP, a live improvised set culled from their frequent west coast tours.
By fall of 2006, Zechs was touring the west coast consistently, sharing the stage with such eclectic acts as Daedelus, Busdriver, The Album Leaf, DJ Nobody, Daddy Kev, The Gaslamp Killer, and Totimoshi.
In May, Zechs Marquise signed on to the management roster at Sargent House and released Our Delicate Stranded Nightmare on LP/CD/digital in August of that year through Rodriguez-Lopez Productions.
During the re-recording process additional parts were written by each individual musician in order to complement the original structure that Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez had formulated for the album.
Getting Paid for the first time featured vocals on select songs, including guest performances by vocalist/guitarist Matt Embree (RX Bandits, The Sound of Animals Fighting) and El Paso singer Sunny Baker.
