Yup, next Saturday, under the influence of beer and Star Pizza, we start recording the basic tracks for the Summer 7″ as well as hopefully the lead track for the Fall 7″. We rehearsed this past Tuesday and everything was sounding pretty good.
Steve, who was out the rehearsal before, added some amazing distorted, feedback-laced bass on “La Jettee” which really helped round that song out and “Road” and “USA” have been largely worked out for some time so I would expect with one more rehearsal on our plate before next week’s session, we should be able to knock these tracks out pretty easily…at least the basic tracks. Meanwhile, “C is for Cthulhu” is coming together pretty well. It was raining last Saturday so I took some time to transcribe all of Clinton’s riffs (see pic). The one issue I see right now is that the demo runs 6:30 but a 7″ can only really handle 6 minutes so we may need to trim it by 30 seconds. Luckily, Clinton already trimmed a bit of it on Tuesday after we ran through it with vocals so we’re on our way and, hopefully, we’ll get it down to the time we need.
It should all be a lot of fun. Stay tuned. We’ll update you guys next week on how it all goes.
