How are things?

Posted by joneserooni | Filed under News/Blog

Been busy with work and other stuff. May actually get the old geetar out and start playing some acoustic shows (Eric mentioned he was interested). In other news, I went ahead and and had some cds made. YES actual compact discs of the ‘new’ album. So if you don’t want to buy the electronic edition of it, or just want to hold the sleeve with artwork and info you can now purchase it for the low price of $9. Includes free shipping!

Comatose, I’m over-dosed again…

Posted by joneserooni | Filed under News/Blog

Here’s a sneak preview of one of the new tunes, ‘Over-dosed’. Still a rough mix, but includes tasty vocals and theramin from Russell of Oliver’s Army! So much going on, so difficult to dance to, but it came out pretty much like my ‘in my head’ version.

Drums – Trey Carmichael
Bass – Eric Neal
Vocals, Theramin – Russell Bartholomee
Organs – Mark Pittman
Geetars, Organs & Vocals – Jeff

Tracking Complete!

Posted by joneserooni | Filed under News/Blog

All tracks are done! Russell came over today and nailed the duet vox in the first two takes. His theramin part is going to be insane once we add some fx to it. We then concentrated on a Japanese Rock song – made it even goofier than the original demo. Will hopefully get the vocals/translations done this weekend.

Next up – mixing!
