Wednesday, Nick Mass from NEON was over at Ghost in My House Studio and we started to tackle the final lead vocal tracking and made some good progress. Wednesday night, Jaran and Joe were over to rehearse some Brahman Shaman material for the show this Saturday night at the Root Note with Michelle Lynn & Hyphon. Looks like we may be ready to try a couple of new songs as a three piece which will be a nice change of pace.
Thursday was spent working with some time to rehearse the one man band before the day was through. Nick Mass was over again on Friday morning to lay down some more lead vocals but the session was cut short as the firewire port on my studio computer finally crapped out for good. Spent a good portion of the rest of the day trying out different Firewire Notebook cards to no avail and had to end up buying a whole new computer which brought on a whole new set of compatibility issues between the new 64 bit windows and the older 32 bit software and plugins but I think I have it all straight now and should be able to get back to work this week.
Most of the weekend was spent assembling some new bedroom furniture and rearranging and reorganizing the whole house which was exhausting but productive.
I have a couple of shows this week, the first being drumming for Michelle Lynn & The Bad Passengers at Kathy's Pub in Rochester on Thursday night and the second being a Brahman Shaman electric trio set at the Root Note in LaCrosse on Saturday night. One of my favorite bands, Porcupine is playing at JB's Speakeasy in LaCrosse this Friday and I suggest you check it out!
Until next week...
