Andrew's Rock Blog

Nice write-up over at Andrew's Rock Blog. I was ever-so-briefly in a band called Station to Station with Drew, many moons ago. A buddy of mine (the drummer of my high-school punk band) played with them, and invited me in back in the 90s when their original guitarist left. We jammed out a few times but it never really connected. I bump into Andrew from time to time - we caught up recently at a birthday party for that drummer's one-year-old daughter. He's doin' fine working at Jack FM, and his blog is a great corner of the net for tidbits on rock classic and contemporary. Check it out!

What the hell we're up to....

Posting's been infrequent, I know. And there hasn't been much new going up. I'm glad to say that it's with good reason. The band's in the studio again with producer Marc Koecher. Yep, we've started work on new tracks at long last!

There'll be some samples of tracks coming soon. Right now we've started work on what's either a very long EP or a very short album, depending on your point of view.... One track we've broken out live a few times called "Wheels Come Off" is a rolling romp about plans gone awry. But man it's going to sound a bit different from those first live approximations! I'm pretty excited to be back in the studio, especially working with a few new collaborators this time around. Marc's signature production will be in full effect, but I think there's going to be more oomph, more rockness igniting the epic complexity. Zack's drums are pure thunder, and Scott's bringing some great melodic bass-lines to the table. I'm babbling, but you'll know what I'm talking about soon enough.

Here's a figment of studio life....
