As you might have know, last week we played our first show in 2, long, years. It was great to be on stage again, to feel that adrenaline rush. And even better, to see so many familiar faces. There were a lot of other things to do that night, so we really appreciated everybody making the time and coming down! Always a pleasure to have our buddies from Cold Reality around and with Gio spinning his tunes you know people will be dancing. Needless to say, we had a blast.
Now back to the record…
As always: Unmixed, unmastered, un-everything. But in short: Basic vocal recordings are done.
What’s left? Some extra backing vocals, guest vocals, extra noises and extra instruments to be added. Not THAT much actually, which means we’ll probably finish our rock record before 2025. Awesome.
Yes, after 2 long years we’re finally playing a show again. And even better (for us), it’s in our hometown.
When we heard rumors about our favorite pub closing down, we thought it was time to get out of our recluse. Like previous shows at ‘t Hert, we asked our buddies in Cold Reality (formerly known as Make Them Suffer) to come along. And this time DJ Don Gio (who used to play in No Turning Back a long, long time ago) will be making sure your ears don’t bleed out by spinning great soul and funk tracks in between the bands.
Oh and yes, of course we’re still working on that record. But since music and vocals are pretty much done, we’re ready to play shows again.
Aside from celebrating New Year’s Eve, listening to the new Bad Religion, recording carnaval hits, watching a shitload of Sons Of Anarchy etc we managed to get some recording done with Said And Done again. This time we locked ourselves in the room with roaring amps to create some beautiful feedback. And some extra guitarparts, solo’s etc were added too. LOUD NOISES.
As always, unmixed, unmastered, uneverything, not even sure if what you hear will end up on the record or not. But hey, if we don’t do these little clips you all think we’re dead right? And we’re so alive
Current status: Recording vocals has started. It almost feels like we’re getting near the end of this recording process. Nah, we don’t believe that either.
Broken drums, injuries, personal stuff, broken amps, we’ve had our share of setbacks. The latest addition to that list? Dying hard disk… No worries, luckily we managed to back up everything and after a surgical operation our recording set up now runs smoother than ever. We might take forever, but nothing’s gonna stop us. Uhuh.
So let’s see. I don’t know if we even officially announced it or anything, but Emiel’s our new bassplayer. He went along on the last tour, we’ve known him for ages, our bands have been playing together since we started out and it’s awesome to have him in the band. After a short bootcamp, he went in for the kill. Not long after that bass recordings were done.
Current status: Extra guitars (feedback, solo’s, noise, extra guitar parts etc.) are pretty much done too. So it’s time for the next step: Vocal recordings. Time for 2013. Time to finish this record of ours and get playing again.
