Recording an LP!

Today Josiah and I started recording for Deliver Me Seven‘s first LP!

It’s a lot of fun. We’re recording at Summit View Studios, which has a very state-of-the-art setup and knowledgable engineers that make it easier to just do yo’ thang.

I haven’t done much studio work before, and I am realizing that I have to adjust a lot in both my playing style and my approach to performing a song. Most of my experience is in either playing live or playing along to a track that already has a drum part. Now I need to get used to playing to a click and not making ANY mistakes.

We’re doing this totally independently right now, from recording to production to distribution. It’s going to be an interesting journey from start to finish… Let’s see where it goes!

Rock-n-Bowl at Chipper’s Lanes

My band (Deliver Me 7) just played a show at Chipper’s Lanes. We had a total blast, and it was really fun laying down grooves on top of a friggin’ bowling alley!
I anticipated being shoved into a corner and ignored while people bowled. But they put a stage over the lanes and ran some blacklights and stuff. It was really great playing in such a big room, which gave me the opportunity to break in my new A. Zildjian ride and Sabian AA crash.
So all three of us are super-psyched to play more, but just had a great time there.

We have another show on CSU campus this Friday afternoon, if anyone’s interested (3:00-5:00pm in the Natural Resources atrium, across the road from Clark hall.)
