Day 2: More Completed

Day 2 was much more productive. We put together the sound insulating walls for the drums and arranged the gear in the room. Added bonus: I finally got my leslie speaker working with my organ. It's been a long and arduous process but it was absolutely worth the strain. I haven't been so excited about something in months.

Let the good times roll.

Yesterday was our first day in the studio. It wasn't very productive but it was a fun start to the next three weeks. We learned how to play "The Stones That I Throw" then ate at the Ponderosa buffet. It was cool. Pictures are forthcoming.

Lots of good shows coming up.

This summer is going to be exciting. We're recording in July with our friends Eric, Mark and Andy at Eric's new studio, the Tone Shoppe. And we're playing a number of cool shows. Here's the list:

6/19 Carabar with Chinese Telephones, Tenement and What Gives (free, all ages)
6/25 Carabar for Nick Tolford and Co. release show (free, all ages)
7/10 Skully's with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists (18+, $12 adv/$14 door)
7/16 - 7/17 Berea Fest (totally the best fest ever)
7/31 Rumba Cafe for Colony Cats Benefit show (lots of bands, short sets)

Let's hang out!

About Last Night...

Hey Everybody!

Last night was totally fun at the Monster House! Thank you to Nathan Del Snell, Sexy Crimes, Andrew Graham and Nick Tolford and Co. as well as Monster House and anybody who came to hang out!

It is awesome to live in a city where there are so many great musicians and people who care about music. Let's keep doing this, deal?
