Studio Sessions 2

So tonight we went back to the studio to begin work on "Pretty Green Leaves" We got the Electric Piano, Guitar, Bass and scratch vocal down, although it was quite a task fighting off our new found company in the studio. We've recently discovered that parts of our studio has been infested with Ants. I hate those bastards. One came up out of a key as i was playing the Piano part and nearly cost the take. I recovered quick though...using my pinky to squash him as i played on.

Bleech should be back home from the beach today as well, although he wont be coming to the studio until this Thursday to do his drum tracks. I'm really stoked to piece all these tracks together and see what happens. Until then, i shall return to the studio to get rid of our little friends. This isn't over...

Oh yeah, we started recording last nite..

Here you see our producer, Yoshemee chilling beside my guitar rig in the studio.

Yes, that's a real Xylophone

Sorry for not posting this last night...but...Tyler and I went out to the studio last evening to begin work on our "release"...whatever that means. Bleech was absent for this session because he is away at the beach. Bleech is at the Beach...cool deal.

We started on "Strawberry Glue", a tune you may remember from our myspace page. One thing i can say about the recording so far, is it's nothing like the demo, but just like the demo. If that makes sense. Then later on (tonight), I couldn't sleep so i put on a coat and returned to the studio to overdub my guitar parts (didn't like the sound of the first ones.) For this, I pulled out my Epiphone Dot guitar (modeled after a 335), definitely not the "Crin-da-la-crim" of guitars, but i like it and it got the job done. First time i had recorded that guitar in over a Year.

I can't wait for all of you to hear what we've been creating...even just last night. The beginning to "Strawberry Glue" almost brought tears, and most likely will before we are done with it...not because I'm some terrific writer..far from it. I just know the story behind this song and it really hits home..and I'm hoping it does the same for you, whatever you story may be. Above are some pics from the recording session tonight.

Questions about our name.

If you've ever wondered how we got our name or what it means, just check this video out. It's about 11 minutes long but it will explain everything, just keep an open mind. ha.
