Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the Water Gong. Those proceedings were clandestine. We do however have a picture of the Sock Mallet used to create some nice tones on our recording of "The Crux." With the addition of some tasty maracas and goat toes, we finished up. Two more songs to go after this.
Matt and I have been hard at work in Speculator Studios with the Bootleg Recording Rig. We've got drum tracks done for 9 of the 12 songs on
A Glorious Mess. So, we're finally making some progress. We've finished up all of the rockin' tunes and we're moving on to a few softer numbers. There is a chance we will also record an extra 4 tunes for an Advent album. That's right before Christmas for those of us who may be liturgically challenged. If we're gonna pull this off, I've got to finish writing the last song for the Right-Before-Christmas album before Sunday. The idea is to interweave a string quartet between the songs on that album. We'll see.
At any rate,
A Glorious Mess has been pretty messy, but we're on our way. I should have my rig back home by the end of next week so I can start recording guitars and vocals while we do bass tracks.
A big thanks to everybody who came out to the show last night at the Dame. We had a great time and a lot of fun.
