Giggles

The Maze in Nottingham on Friday was plenty fun. Been at least a year since we last played at the Maze. We brought the volume and was good to see some faces down the front, for some it had been a while.
Who plays Pink Floyd as soon as the bands stop though? And after a Rock-A-Billy band(Dick Venom and The Terrortones)...things got weird FAST!

I went for a skate after the gig and completely spooned myself. Full on superman dive off the board. Amazing landing using my knee and elbow and hat. Walked away with only minor scrapes. It was utterly hilarious...and NO ONE saw. I was disappointed, because it was so damn funny someone deserved to laugh at my expense. Oh well.

Northampton yesterday was pretty epic. First M1 jaunt with the new van. It did not explode. Which was nice.
It's big enough that everyone pretty much has their own row to lord about on.
Northampton was very accommodating, the venue was right next to the Carlsberg factory. They had bottles of Carlsberg for a pound a go if you were in a band..think they nicked em from their bins or something.
Apple Shift Seven and Thracia were super fun and nice and even bought some records. THANK A YOU! Check them out.

We had to leave when it all got a bit Dancing Joe:

rec.

So, we recorded the tracks we want to put out as a single.

They sound wild! Again, all recorded live with us playing in the same room at the same time to tape. It sounds different to Big Animals though..BIGGER almost..different..new!

Sunday was a solid day of setting up, getting levels, making sure we were all happy with the sounds coming back off the tape..once we were (took most of the day) we just kept going til we got the right take. This took roundabout 9 tries for By The Sea each take getting faster by 5 seconds exactly. We were done at 3.35. Newspaper got done in fewer takes..in fact the take we went with may even be the first take (proper) we did a version first with an extended part that we all agreed was a waste of time.

So here we are. Mixing the tracks tomorrow. Vocals were all done on Monday whilst the rest of us made tea for those working..skived off to play GTA4...made lunch for everyone which included an insanely hot scotch bonnet (vicar) and was too hot for some..read viz...drew artwork ideas..and defaced whatever was laying around:




Ain't nothing better than tape!

Just killin' time.

We're heading into the studio next week. WOOHOO.
Going into MESTERS to record a few songs with the intention of turning them into a 7". VERY EXCITING.
Going to be NEWSPAPER and BY THE SEA - - live recordings/demos of which are on our myspace and have been a solid part of our set for the past year (give or take).
They are our 2 favorite songs that were written in the wake of Big Animals and seeing as we have not quite written Big Animals 2 yet we thought we'd get these tracks down and out before we all kill each other and never play another note or something.

Expect exciting/cliched studio reports and stuff over next week.

In the mean time salivate over this:::
