Hello.
It has been 2 months since my last blog and I have been keeping pretty busy. Here are some things that I have been working on.
NO ADDRESS - If you don't already know it, No Address is alive and working again. The band had another writing / recording session in February and we wrote 4 new tunes. We do have another session booked for later this month. Hopefully we will have enough songs for a new record this year. We also have a YouTube page with various videos from the past and present. I invite you to check it out. www.youtube.com/noaddy09
SESSIONS - In addition to the session with No Address, I recently recorded 9 songs for an Australian duo called The Red Hot Poker Dots. http://www.redhotpokerdots.com/
The group is affectionately dubbed as "Swampy Tonk". I had so much fun on this session. The songs were fantastic, funny and well crafted. I am excited to hear the finished album.
DRUMS - Wow! I have been using my 1964 Ludwig's on the last 2 sessions, as well as various gigs, and I absolutely love them. They are vintage 3 ply shells mahogany/poplar/mahogany and sound amazing. The engineers and producers have all commented on their "vintage" sound. Below are some pics of the drums in different studio/microphone configurations. Sorry for the dodgy photo taken from my Blackberry.
