I uploaded some recordings I made during the last practice in March, I recorded them on my new Zoom R24 recorder using the built in mics. I tried using a splitter to send both vocal mics straight to the recorder too, but something when wrong and nothing was recorded. So the only vocals you can hear are from the PA monitors in the room, because of that my vocals are kind of buried, but i still think it’s still a decent recording. I think the tracks that came out the best are I Wanna Get Away From You, Jake’s first two songs, Deadlock, and At All.

Anyway you can listen/download them from the Media -> Audio tab, or just click this link: http://www.sonador.me/practice_2011-03-10.php

Me, Kate, Jake, and Billy made a new recording last Thursday of a song called End of Everything, it’s not up in the audio section yet but you can download mix 1 and/or mix 2 if you want. It’s mostly a rough mix cuz I’m not that good at mixing, but it gets the idea across. We’re gonna be recording more tonight so watch here for more recordings! Also make sure to come see us play on September 17th I’m not sure of the address yet but I’ll have more details soon!

I just realized I haven’t posted anything new in quite a while, but the most exciting thing that happened so far is Kate Kane, of the awesome band Lipstick Homicide, is playing drums for us now! We’ve been practicing with her for the past month and it’s been great, both me and Billy really missed practicing with a real drummer instead of the junky drum machine on Billy’s effects pedal. So anyway I think that’s all I have to say about that for now, but if you’re bored you should check out Jack Denlinger, I found his page while browsing music on Alonetone. His music kind of reminds me of music from SNES RPG’s like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy. I always liked the music from Chrono Trigger, I think it’s amazing, especially songs like Tyran Castle, Corridors of Time, Frog’s Theme, Schala’s Theme, Gato’s Song, and a bunch of others. I found this website with mp3′s of all the songs if you wanna take a listen, some of them have the wrong names, Corridors of Time is renamed “Time Circuits”, Frog’s Theme just says “Theme”, Schala’s theme says “) Theme”, and Gato’s Songs just says “Song”, but I think they’re all there.

I finally got this song sounding to the point where I’m somewhat satisfied with it enough to upload it. Anyway I wrote this when me and Billy were going up to practice with Mike a long time ago. On one trip up there we stopped at this gas station we thought was open but turned out to be closed in the middle of the day for some reason. So then we went across the street to this restaurant that had a gas station attached to it, but the hoses to the gas pumps were gone. So we went inside to use the bathroom and it was pretty shitty and disgusting looking so we hurried up and got the hell outta there. Billy said the restaurant reminded him of the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. Anyway you can listen to it or download it in the audio section. Also as a bonus I uploaded the demo of it with the rest of those old demo songs from a few posts down, so go here to listen to it if ya want.

About a month and a half ago Billy and I were jamming while I was waiting for the members of this other band I’m in to show up. I decided to record ourselves on a crappy little boom box to test the sound for the other band. Anyway I kinda liked it and decided to post it here, even though the sound quality is shitty, you can’t really hear what I’m saying, and Billy doesn’t know how to play the drums . So here it is, in both mp3 and FLAC formats, enjoy.
