Howdy folks,

We officially began laying down tracks for our new album 2 weeks ago, and so it was time to update our little website.

The website is blog-style this time, because the whole static bio-discography-media-shows-guestbook-thing is so 90's. So thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to subscribe to our RSS feed if you're into that kind of kinky stuff.

The new record is coming along nicely, we've been writing songs as a threesome for almost a year now. We've got heaps of material lying around on our computers since we started taping it all into Garageband a couple of years ago.

For the better part of 2007 we've been getting to grips with the gear we've bought for our little home-studio addActionListener(this) soundLabs and it's been a great learning experience for all of us. Doing it all yourself has so much advantages, like being able to just throw away 2 days work of drum-recording without it costing a fortune is.

Two weeks ago we tracked several takes of drums for a song, and while listening to it during the next couple of weeks we found out our tracks needed more hi-hat cymbals to establish the groove of the song more efficiently. No harm done, next week we can tweak the mic positions and redo the take without any stress involved. I can't stress enough how good that makes you feel.

All of us feel we've got the chance to actually work out our ideas while recording, instead of just recording 12 songs that sound the same because they we're recording using the same techniques over the period of couple of days.

Subscribe to (iTunes) or check out our podcast for some clips of our experiments and rehearsals. We're going to keep that updated with tracks while we're recording the album.

So stay tuned, and we'll let you know how we're doing.
