Today was vocals. I (Mike) always have a hard time with vocals. Oh well. One more day of recording should do it. We don’t know when that day will be. Soon.
Then some mixing. Then some plastic making. What? Nevermind. You’ll see soon enough.

All instruments are done. Saturday was bass and keys.

Vocals on Tuesday? Not sure. Then some mixing. Keep in touch.

All drums and guitars are DONE. I’m so tired. It was a long and eventful day. Everyone in the house is asleep already, and it’s only 11:30 in Philadelphia. Everyone but me.

In other news, tomorrow we play with some awesome bands at The North Star. Fuck yeah. Come on out, it’s Nick’s birthday. You know Nick. He designed our shirts.

What a day.

We made some real strides. All drum tracking is done and about half of Mike’s guitars are in the can. Tomorrow Mike finishes his guitars and we’ll try to get through all of James’.

Then we’re off on Thursday for our North Star show. We’re very excited for this one. Then bass, keys, and vocals over the weekend. Woo.

Once the recording is wrapped the hard part starts. What do I mean? I guess you’ll just have to stay tuned to find out. I’ll give you a hint: it has everything to do with alien technology.

Ladies and gentlemen, we’re making a record.

We’ve been playing these songs out for a while now and are psyched to finally put them to tape. This time around recording is being overseen by the always awesome Justin Wolf. You may know Justin from The Extraordinaires and Lux Perpetua.

On a side note, thanks so much to everyone who came out to our Hamilton Lanes show last week. We had a blast! It was awesome meeting all of you and can’t wait to get back out there in January with Friends For Hire.

More tomorrow!

Since July the band decided to get a keyboard player.  We put out an ad on Craigslist.org and found James Saul.  He’s a real tough guy.  A loose cannon.  A romantic.  A man’s man.  A sophisticated killer.  A nurturing guardian.  And now, a keyboard player for Kill You in the Face.  He also plays guitar in the songs (or parts of songs) where a keyboard part would suck.

We also started on some new songs and will be recording some of these songs some time around the the first week of November.

With that said, we got together yesterday. Things started off kind of slow. One of us was tired, one of us was cranky, one of us couldn’t stay on a bike, and none of us seemed to be in the proper frame of mind. BUT, after a fair amount of cob web shaking and a wholesome water break we were well on our way.

Why am I recounting a rehearsal? Simple. Once things got going, they REALLY got going. We rolled right through our oh so familiar set and made some major strides with our new material. We’re thinking that the next time any of you see us, there will be two new additions to our set. YEAH!

And now back to Zelda…
