Mixing the first taste off the album

This is going to sound weird...but the weather in melbourne over this past week has been killer.
Sunny but not hot! cool but not cold...perfect!

Not to mention the food! and the company...and...well the coffee was pretty expensive...i think Sydney has the coffee thing going on a little better...i mean its super cheap and strong in my hood.

Maybe the problem is local knowledge?

Anyways why were we living it up in M-town you ask?

Well Ben and myself were working on overdubs and mixing the first taste of the our third record with the affable Richard Stolz.

We spent a couple off days down in Sing Sing south doing some vocal, guitar and keyboard overdubs.
It seems that everyone in the north side off Richmond to the south side of Prahran drives a luxury sports car...Ben was in his element!

Anyway it was good to go over some stuff we did out in the country and get it all to make some sense.

The room we were working in is actually where some of one of my favourite albums EVER was made...Crowded house 'woodface'...it might not resemble in the slightest what it did back then but it was still good to soak up that energy knowing your treading the same boards as your idols.



We had wednesday off as Richard was a little off colour, which worked out fine as we were staying in Albet Park with our live sound guy Adrian. I think i could get used to albert park...nice and flat so you can ride a bike with ease...and the number one tram goes straight into town.



So we basically spent the day eating the BIGEST omellete EVER! drinking coffee and checking out guitars at the guitar emporium.
After such a hard day we finished off jamming all night on the drums and Adrians loop pedal...RAD!

Albert park goes down to south melbourner "beach"...which its not a real beach at all...its like a big bay...anyways its blowing a bloody gale down there...and FREEZING as the wind is literally just off the iceberg (Antarctica), but that doesnt stop the fitness freaks trying to play beach volley ball in the wind...

Im not sure what this is called...


After a big night Jamming and Scabbing beer of Adrian we returned to Sing Sing Proper to Mix 'Break Me!'.




It was good to be back there again...we mixed our first record and 'cut your losses' there.
The owner Kai is a legend, he built the joint and its a cosy place to hang out!



So Richard went hard while we put in our two bob's worth and i think it's turned out a treat!
I cant wait to get 'break me' out there on the radio for everyone to hear...i think you are going to like it!
I wouldn't say its representative of the album as a whole but its a move in another direction for sure!



I had such a good time in Melbourne that by the time we'd dropped the Cd of at crystal mastering i didnt want to go home.
It was perfect beer weather and i just wanted to lap it up but all i could fit in was one sly pot off Guiness before i had to get the last flight home.
BUMMER!

P.s I just got the Mastered version back from Crystal today and its STONKING!!!! cant wait t show you!

Hi.

Im not sure which is more confronting.

Two men having sex in full view within shouting distance.

or Goth's with teddy bears.

i think the later...

well anyway thats how i spent my weekend.

The dudes across the way were once again going hammer and tongs with the blinds open and the lights on.
its becoming a regular occurance .
I just want to eat some burritos and...well its hard to digest food when faced with a hairy arse crack going up and down.

Also there was some kind of goth festival on over the weekend... now i can appreciate most subcultures..
but goths? mmm
Raver goths?
fully grown men with teddy bear goths?
GOTHS WITH CHILDREN!

somethings not right there...
Anyway it only lasted one day and i can only guess they have gone back to working in I.T and at the local warcraft shop.

In other news Ben and Myself will be heading to Melbourne to mix the first taste of the new jams.
This means that in the next week or two you will be able to hear on the radio and download on the interweb our new single!!!!

so how good is that!

im sure you will be bombarded with info on it very soon!
