No Address Session

Well. It has been almost 3 weeks of not touring and I am finally settling into "normal" life. I am now a full-time baby tech. It is easier for me to make comparisons of my at home life with my working (touring) life for the 1st month or so. It's funny because my 9 month old son is on a pretty regimented schedule as far as feeding and sleeping goes, so that compares to the monotonous schedule of touring. I find these similarities amusing.




On another note, No address rocked last weekend. It actually happened. Ben, Justin, Phil and myself scheduled 2 nights of writing and recording at 2 secret locations in Florida. We had no outside influence or pressure, which was awesome, and we were able to be creative in that No address kind of way. It is hard to explain, so I'll just say that the magic is still there. Unfortunately I was not feeling very well the 2nd night, but that did not stop our progress.




In the end we were able to work out somewhere between 7-10 new songs. That is no small feat for a band given the time. I am going to be working with Justin on the mixes shortly. I will know more then. As for the rest of the fellows, I believe that we are excited as to what could possible come in the future. Time will only tell. I have learned not to be selfish and prematurely rush these things.




There will be more to come. Here is a low light photo I took from my Blackberry. It shows my drums in my favorite studio mic set-up. You can't reall see, but there are 4 mics on my drums. Kick, snare, and 2 overheads.
