finger snap snap

yesterday was our last night at the studio. we finished up our song cadaver bells and gypsy spells and we really dig the new spin on it, greg's drums really pick up the tempo compared to the demo. if anyone is looking for a great studio to work with, i confidently recommend oak recording studio. we worked with justin helle (pictured above), who is a multi-talented engineer/musician and he made the entire experience an enjoyable one. he was "spreadin' the good vibes". we're very excited to get the first song recorded off of our new album and can't wait to get back and finish the rest.

tattoos + guitars

here are a couple more photos of our first session at oak recording studio. these were taken off of my canon, not the iphone, so the quality it a little better. there are a few shots at the end of callum playing on a vintage gibson that the studio has available and it sounds beautiful. we're heading back to the studio tonight to finish up the song with some finger snaps and all that jazz.

you can find the rest of the shots here.

at the studio: cadaver bells & gypsy spells

last night the theatre zero headed over to oak recording studio to record our new song, cadaver bells and gypsy spells. we were able to lay down the drums, guitar + piano. callum also serenaded us with his harmonica and recorded a couple tracks. we're going back on thursday to add all of the fun stuff like hand claps and wolves howling and doors creaking. you can still find the demo here. can you think of anything else we should add to the song? we might throw in some melodica soprano
(a wicked instrument we found vintage shopping, post to come) or accordion, what do you think?

summer lovin'

it's the first day of summer, hurrah! is anyone celebrating the summer solstice this weekend? i hear those parties can get quite intense (picture bonfires, naked bodies flailing around everywhere, an abundance of recreational "activities"). sounds like my kind of party (kidding!).

it's supposed to be a super steamy summer, so i'm hoping to fly the coup and get out of the city for a couple weekends and head up north when you can actually swim in the water. does anyone have anything fun planned for the summer? i've made a small list of goals i would like to accomplish before the leaves begin to fall, including actually sewing something with the sewing machine i bought, complete at least one painting a month, finish the demos for our new album (we're professionally recording the first one, cadaver bells and gypsy spells, tonight at oak recording studio) and I'm sure there are other things, but I just can't think of them right now. what are your goals for the summer, do you even make goals or am i slightly ocd...
