Drum Tracks, Bass Tracks, Delicious Snacks

Well, all those marathon rehearsal sessions I've been writing about have paid off in the form of some super killer, slammin'-ass basic tracks.  That's right, the foundation has been laid for the completion of our record with legendary producer David Kershenbuam.

On a beautiful day in West Hollywood, we showed up at Drac Studios ready to cut some grooves.  Our mission was to track at least nine more drum tracks, the list of potentials stood at twelve.  We certainly had our work cut out for us.  Starting a little later than expected, we were still able to crush our goal with energy to spare.  Like I said, all that practicing truly paid off.

And during this intensive, condensed sojourn into the realm of recording the most glorious of drum tracks, we were fueled, amongst copious caffeinated beverages, by none other than Doritos Tacos from Taco Bell.

Naturally.

It's right down the street, give us a break.

With the drum tracks in order, the next day was to be bass day.  In Jonathan Colman's world, thankfully every day is bass day.  And it is that very day, today, that I am writing this.  So, Happy Bass Day to one and all!

We find ourselves now transfixed by the masterful skill of Jon's bass playing.  These drum tracks don't stand a chance of being un-groovy once the magical Jen (Jonathan's beloved P-Bass) juice has been supplied to it's cracks and corners.

Here is a small taste of the aforementioned grooviness:




More updates from the studio soon.
