CD update - Mixing complete!
|
|
The production team has emerged from Komrade Studios, and upon not seeing their shadow we can expect six more weeks of winter. They also emerged with the final mixes for CD#4 which were quickly snatched from their grip and hand-delivered to our Grand Master of mastering.
In other news, the CD cover artwork has been approved by committee and the reclusive Art Team is working diligently in the seclusion of a "former Eastern Bloc country"....
|
|
|
|
Update: Album #4
|
|
We've just finished tracking CD #4! It's been a whirlwind of recording since January 3rd where we recorded all the beds at Profile Studios and then over to Komrade Studios to finish up guitars, bass, vocals, percussion, etc. We've stayed with our killer team from Flash Arrows & the Money Shot, Ryen Froggat starring as Engineer and Kevin Kane starring as producer & multi-instrumentalist. The band is starring as itself, with The Eggman once again picking up co-production duties. Mixing is starting next week...stay tuned! |
|
|
|
New material in the works!
|
We spent the weekend at Komrade Studios
with Ryen Froggatt demoing songs for our next CD that we plan to start recording in early January.
Stay tuned!
