Steve Mastering with Reel-To-Reel It’s been a pretty fast paced recording session but this Tuesday we wrapped it up with a bow and sent it off to A&R Pressing in Dallas. It took a lot of work because I have a personal deadline that I am trying to keep to…
I won’t lie to you. We used auto tune on one song. I’m no professional singer (Clinton and Charlie usually handle the vocal duties for good reason) which is why, despite my practicing the vocals all weekend and even doing a preliminary working session with Clinton at his house, I…
[Note: Charlie would like me to forewarn you that there maybe some spoilers in here. So watch the episode first.] So, we’re on hold from recording until tomorrow’s final session so not much to report but if you know us, you should know that we’re a pretty pathetic group of…
Good gravy but were moving along well on this recording thing. Last Saturday we put in nearly 12 hours in the studio. We had expected to maybe get in just the basic tracks but instead we plowed through not only the songs for the Summer EP but also got the…

There was some article in the Houston Press today about Pink Floyd and Kiss’ dance with disco where the basic thesis was that Kiss experiment failed because they didn’t sound like themselves while Pink Floyd still sounded like Pink Floyd. That’s neither here nor there but it reminds me of…
SXSW is now over and with that – barring some super awesome show we can’t turn down – we’ll be taking a break from playing live. We’ll be spending less time posting here as a result because we really do have a lot of stuff to work on and prefer to…
