Recording Adventures!!!

We're recording the new record right now and it is very exciting! Our pal Dave Laney has been a huge huge help- loaning us gear, giving up his free time and being a good friend in general!!! So big thanks to Dave!! This recording process has been kind of guerilla style- Frank Heath was nice enough to let us use the Cat's Cradle for two days to do the drums, and then Lee and Adam Price did the bass parts at Dave's house. We had 6 string players over to our place to record, and they were amazing! Not only did they nail it, but we had to turn off the a/c since it was too loud, so they pounded through something like 8 hours of playing in about 106 degree heat. Such pros! Chris Eubank is a master- he arranged the string parts and they sound so wonderful. He has given 5 songs a new breath of life, and for that we are so grateful!! The string players are as follows:
Chris Eubank (Shark Quest, Spatula, Ugly Americans, Bicentennial Quarters, Physics of Meaning and ton of other great bands)-cello
Josh Starmer (The Old Ceremony)-cello
Alan Petermann (violin/soccer virtuoso)-violin
Bobby Britt (Big Fat Gap, Auxiliary House, Physics of Meaning)- violin
Mark Lebetkin (Nathan Oliver, Pox World Empire)- viola
Neel-Gopal Sharma (Auxiliary House, Physics of Meaning)- viola


Can't really say enough about how amazingly awesome and generous our friends are...Brian Paulson has loaned his time and gear, Jason Ross did all that and filmed too, Jesse Paddock gave up his time to come and film, Ash Bowie came and brought us a box of miracles- We are spoiled to have so many sweet people in our lives! Thank you Thank you to everyone who has helped us out so far!!!!
