Last night we had a really good practice. Sadly, the secret word will not be disclosed. Those are some sickos, those bandmates of mine. But we were introduced to a possible new song that I came up with using some software and sampling and that’s what we warmed up to. Dave was obviously threatened because the computerized drummer can count. However, its hands are smaller and not nearly so clever with a turn of phrase. Rodney, however, was inspired!
Last night’s practice was on an off night because of St. Valentine’s Day. You can’t practice on Thursday if Thursday is Valentine’s Day. Well, I guess we could, but then we’d be practicing other things later.
I blame Hallmark. The card company. You can’t go to the store - any store - without being assaulted by Red and Pink everywhere you turn. It’s just not natural.
I think I can speak for the band when I say how honored we are to have Jeff from Samuel Audio come out to our practices and be patient with us and our smart-ass comments and still be able to get a really good recording. I don’t think we can ever thank you enough for taking your time to record us and then all the time you spend mixing stuff down to make us sound good.
And Wes, thanks to you as well for spending the extra time and attention to the details on how we were set up and being part of the mixing outside of any normal band stuff we have going on. I know there is more to all of that than I understand.
All that crap aside take a listen to our first 3 of 6 songs that will be on the first official BHD Demo.
