The Noise

So we are really get into the thick of making a record. We just finished pre-production, which was hours of WORK. Rock is WORK, followed by pizza, beer and sleep-in that order. We started with about 27 songs and whilted it down to 33 and have 3 more in development. We're in the demo stage which is kinda of both energizing and scary as shit as you hear back the first drafts of what your heart and soul wants to say. I'm really starting to live the album, much to the consternation of those close to me. It's what I think about when I go to sleep, wake up and those quiet moments during the day. We're hopefully going to be tracking-putting it down as they say next month, but we still have to tell which kids are coming for the ride right now, and which ones have to wait on the bench or simply tell 'your just not good enough'-let the battles begin. We are a real strong minded bunch and if your in the room when we start talking song chopping-run, don't walk. This blog I'm going to dedicate from here until the end of the road to keeping all you who give a damn updates and a window into the life of an indie band making what they hope will be fantastic album.

Aun.

P.S.
For the gearheads out there and just in case, for some reason, there are reps from big name gear companies wandering around this blog. I proudly play:

Gibson guitars, O.K., one lovely ES333
a tough Fender Deluxe Reverb
D'addario strings 11-49 (Jazz/Rock)-always.
My noise maker supreme an Electro-Harmonix Memory Man-analog work but beautiful textures.
Boss TU2/Boss-TR2/Boss Blues Driver/Ibanez TS9/Line 6 Delay(which I have appropriated from J.D.)Vox Wah/Ernie Ball Volume

P.P.S, If any one is willing to lend out a Guild Starfire III, Rickenbacker 330/360,a Gibson ES135/137 an Orange AD30TC, a Vox AC30 email me. And if you are willing to lend these out to a poor rock band, you should check yourself because you are clearly broken and then email me.

Love,

Len
