happening as we speak

right now we are in the middle of recording our first release. recorded completely by us in our practice space. which was something we set out to do when we first started this band. a few months back as we realized things were moving quickly, we all decided that we would record on our own. for many reason, financial, stress level, enjoyment, prior studio knowledge, but most of all our passion for what we are going through and where we are trying to take it. being able to put our selves into it completely using microphones, software, amps, drums, knowledge, experience, love and ideas we have all cultivated over our collective musical careers. initial drum tracking for 5 tracks has been done and bass is our next step. using and ampeg 8x10 miced with an sm57 and the kick drum mic, vintage sunn 6X10 with a 57, direct input and two room mics we should get a nice thick fuzzed out beauty of a tone. the jam factory has a nice warm natural tone that is surprising us every time we hear play backs. the drums personally remind me of early mogwai tones. that gritty live sound. we will keep you posted as how things are progressing. P.S. big thanks for our friend Brian for his added support and insight. youve been very helpful.
