Just a quick update to say we’ve started rehearsals for our upcoming gig with Seven Color Sky, so we’ll be laying off recording for the next two weeks. We just have a few sessions more to complete the remaining odds and ends and then we can start mixing. I’m hoping to get the CD mixed, mastered, and shipped off for duplication by late April.
It felt good to play together as a band again on Sunday. First time we’ve all been in the same room and playing music since November. It’s been way too long.
I think the recording process has helped us as a live band. When you record, you put everything under the microscope and can really figure out what’s working and what isn’t. Sometimes little problems aren’t apparent at regular band practice, just a vague sense that something doesn’t sound quite right…and then at the recording session you say “Ah ha!—there’s the problem.” After all the recording we’ve been doing, we’re all playing and singing our parts with more precision than we did before. I think right now we sound just about the best we’ve ever sounded. Everybody seems really pumped to do a show—I know I am.
So our long break from live shows is finally at an end and I couldn’t be happier about it. I want to do at least one show a month from now on. More, of course, when a really cool tour offer comes along…which I expect to happen any day now. :D
