Spillege Recap

Many thanks to Nate Mitchell for his supreme hospitallity which included his collection of crock pots and pork....and the man makes a damn fine Hunch Punch.

But of course it would not have been possible without the Spillege folks always being down for a smashing time. Thanks fellas.

Last but not least, the bands. The night began with a set from Timmy Tumble and I can honesly say that "tumble" rings true in his extreamly physical and entertaining show. Next up were The Trashcans, Nates band...and quickly becoming one of my favoirte garage bands. They'll be up at Gypsy Farm in June to record material for their debut..very excited.

After The Cans came Pinche Gringo, a NC based one-man band, all though he had two friends joining him during his set which left everone's ears dripping wet and wanting more. We closed the musical night out with select numbers from our upcoming Lemonland record and there was also some nudity involved, which is never a bad thing. Will be posting footage from that soon, so keep an eye.

We all can not wait for the next blow out at the Spillege and if you were there then you know why. See you tomorrow, May 13th at the Star Bar in Atlanta.

Lemonland / Recording Update # 3

Things have been going slow but steady as I'm nearing the turn to post-production for the Humms record. Dispite the cold weather keeping a slight "frost" over production, I've begun recording vocals for the handful of remaining tracks. In other exiting news regaurding the record, the name and cover were revealed to our mailing list subscribers last week. It can now be viewed at thehumms.com/lemonland.html

For now I leave you with the titles of some of the new Humm songs that will be appearing on the record.

Buttermilk
Fat Bat
Uncle Sam took my baby away
Don't think about death
Sleepy, sleepy

Recording Update 2

Found myself in the studio today at 5pm, the earliest time I've been there while recording this album. These past few months have felt like one long night so it was good to see the sun. Along with seeing daylight today, I finished up on some small sound overdubbs and began mixing. Let me say I am the most excited with this record than I have been with anything else in my life. Everything from swells of vocals to "ghoul howling" to using a Sonar as a Snare drum. Along with the original formula you know as "The Humms", there will also be a few mellow numbers as well, but don't be so quick to turn the track, this record has over 100 surprises and counting..

Recording Update 1

Been recording since November. Had to take a break for a few weeks to record These Magnificent Tapeworms second album..then it got too cold. Finially warmed up enough and now I'm at around song 8 or 9. Much exciting news to come.
