Day off…

posted by Ray on Jun 17, 2009 8:41am

After 5 (6?) great days at the studio, we got a day off today. Bob flew through the drum tracks, and we move on to guitars, bass and vocals Thursday. We have a few more songs to finish up, but Bob has tracked the songs where the arrangements are more set in stone first, so we can get moving on them and then return to the songs that are in a more unfinished state later this month.

I can’t say enough how happy I am with the band. The roughs sound UNBELIEVABLE, its crazy to me how much better and tighter as a band we’ve gotten. It makes me feel really good in the age of “digital performers” that we could go in and track live and still have it sound amazing…

What else is going on…Been having a great time with my Palm Pre. I know I was supposed to write a review, but honestly don’t have the time for it. I guess my quick review is that its an amazing device, with a few shortcomings. Small shortcomings mind you, I’ve been having a lot of fun on it and can’t wait to see what else the team at Palm have in store…

Oh and Ghostbusters came out! I played a little last night before bed, I kept getting slimed! Its a lot of fun busting ghosts, but damn’t Venkman why do you have to keep blasting me?! Kudos to everyone involved with this game, as it really plays out like a sequel to the films. Its still crazy to me that nearly the entire cast got together for a VIDEO GAME. Awesome stuff…

Track Day #3

Day 3 of tracking. Things are still motoring along. Bob is playing great, so we’re continuing the fast pace. Great vibe here at the studio, Brendan is a lot of fun to work with, and is very focused and energetic. Rest of the band is playing great too. The time in rehearsals really paid off, as we’re getting a good idea of what songs will sound like when the rest of tracking is done. Off to enjoy a frosty Cola!

Tracking today!!!

Hey everyone, can you believe it??? Only 2 more days before we start tracking. It’s been a long time coming, but we’re ready to go. The new material is great now, and is only going to get better. I feel everyone has been pushing themselves to be better, and can’t wait to hear the results. More to come soon!

UPDATE – hey so I accidentally posted the song with a link to download the file, which I’m pretty sure is completely illegal? Europe, I promise I didn’t mean it! You’ll all just have to imagine the song playing instead…Dah Dah dah dahhhhhh, dah dah dah dah dahhhhhhhh…..

Hey guys, I wanted to try a little something different so I recorded this on the way back home from band practice a few days ago. Sorry I haven’t uploaded it yet but I’ve been crazy busy moving stuff from our apartment into a house. I think I’ll be doing more of these in the coming weeks, especially as we get into tracking!!
