I have been home for two days now and the reality of being home has hit...GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!
Now i have got that of my chest i will let you know what we have been up to.
a little over three weeks ago we packed up our song board with a MASSSSSIVE trailer load of musical instruments and recording equipment and headed for the hills
Rather then record in a regular recording studio, We decided for this first batch of recording to rent a lovely house in the 'gourmet' region of north east Victoria Deck it out with a stack of gear and go for it.
We had about two weeks of recording time, in that time we completed 4 songs and recorded about 6 others in various stages of completion. We will be finishing the others off and recording some more as soon as we can.
This is a photo of the main 'live room' looking from my 'vibe zone' towards where we set the drums up.
It is a rather large space and we were able to get some killers sounds out of it.
This photo is again from my 'vibe zone' looking over to Matt's area.
We would all play in this room together with our headphones on.
I put my guitar amp in the laundry...it meant we couldn't do our laundry while we were recording.
these next two pics are for the nerds...it is a selection of some of the gear we used.
This is our main man Richard Stolz, when he isn't in the kitchen making a mess he is producing our record, and doing top job at it! He's 'control room' also doubles as his sleeping quarters.
Matt and Ben checking out the progress.
secrets to the stars.
This is Richard with our engineer Matt Maddock. He likes to cook.
Ben sings in this converted wardrobe.
2005 Brown brothers shiraz...smooth, round and with a hint of blueberry.
You can NEVER have enough pedals to make noise with...ever
more amps.

Can you see the monkeys?
I would have some more pics for you like when we enclosed Andrew in a tiny space (Lynard skynard stlye) to record his drums or when we found a big dead wombat but i accidently dleted all the pics from my camera and lost them so you will just have to imagine it!
So i hope you enjoyed that i will post some pics of our mid recording day trip and when i finish editing the movies we made i will get them up!
until then stay in touch and stay tuned for our new single in OCTOBER!!!
O U T!
Mark and the gang.
