-the ‘common thrill‘ mixes are all in first stage. we’re meeting this week to do final tweaks. mastering will be done in the coming weeks. stellar band, stellar EP on the way.
- work continues on the ‘alchemilla‘ full length. drums, bass and electric guitars are done on the 2nd batch of four. we’re finishing lead vocals and then adding backup vocals, percussion and any other final dubs in the next two weeks. immediately after that, we start the next batch of four, which will be make a total of twelve for their new LP.
- rehearsing this week with the boston based band ’shadwell’. playing drums on a gig with them in september. it’s a video shoot for a television appearance here in the boston area. played on their record a few years ago, which was produced by my friend tom polce. great guys playing great songs.
