Bueller...Bueller....Bueller....

A reasonably warm Monday morning. Half the band are at work while others are enjoying an unexpected day off thanks to exploding man-holes and a power outage in the Theatre District. (insert your own joke here). Kellen and Aaron are in the midst of a Ferris Bueller-esque adventure as we speak (Aaron just belted out "Twist & Shout" in the middle of a parade).

What we've been up to: Saturday afternoon/evening Kellen recorded his guitar parts for "One More Jack Rose" and re-recorded his bass parts for "Disasterology" and "Rx Goliath." While his playing was transcendent, the initial bass parts Kellen tracked were somewhat lacking due to amp problems. The new sessions sound fantastic and we're more or less ready to start doing vocals for both songs. Using Aaron's Fender Jag and a host of pedals, Kellen also filled out "Jack Rose" quite nicely. It's an interesting tune in that we've never played it live and are basically hearing it come together as we record it. It's one of those studio-born songs that will be fun to try and translate on stage. Tuesday night we're meeting with Gustave to discuss The Octopus video's new concept and to record some vocals for "Jack Rose" In the meantime, back to work..or gallivanting around the city.
