Wow, I haven't posted on LJ in a long time. Even after the I said that I would try to do it more often last time. I've been so busy with music ( Read more... )

So, last night we did a radio appearance on 100.5 The Zone's Local Unsigned show. It was a fun experience. We got to hang out in a CBS Station cafeteria for a bit and then we were in studio for about a half hour. We played one song acoustically and promoted the band, album, shows, etc ( Read more... )

Taking a break from shooting a music video with Tough Luxury right now. We're doing all of the miscellaneous shots for some of the "special effects". I can't wait until we do the live performance shots and we get to lip synch to the same song for hours. We're gonna need lots of people to show up for that one. Either this thing is going to turn out ( Read more... )

When we recorded the Radio Cure album, everything was analog and we did it 70's style -- 2 inch tape, outboard hardware, etc. It took forever and in the end, it sounded like music ( Read more... )

Last night, we tracked bass for all but 2 of the songs for the album. We ran a mic on the cabinet and a direct line from the bass head. It sounded really warm without any EQ or compression.

We got drums for 8 songs tracked and that means 3 more to do Tuesday night. I totally got a pretty good drum sound using 3 mics - one kick, one snare, and one overhead ( Read more... )

...money and 2 hours of your life; do not go and see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. If you love everything (ok, maybe not Temple of Doom) that makes up the original trilogy of this storied serial adventure, you will only find disappointment in what is currently raking in a ton of cash on memories and marketing. It's almost as ( Read more... )

Hi LiveJournal! It's a been a real long time since I posted anything...is anybody still here? I should look at the last time I posted. I think I've had one band break up, started a new band in a new city, gotten married, and turned 30 in the interim. Sometimes you just have to hold your breath as long as you can under the surface to really enjoy ( Read more... )

Michelle and I are back from our honeymoon; I had a birthday yesterday in Mexico. My cat has not stopped meowing since we got home a couple hours ago. Michelle's already asleep in our bed. I'm catching up on a week's worth of missed internet ( Read more... )
