Great day today, lyrics down on half the tracks. Sounding pretty excellent! Charlie came down too.

Apologies for low quality photo’s, we turned the lights off to get the mood going…

Mixing caps on tomorrow…

March 2010 Studio Day 2

Second day with Rory today, tunes are sounding large. Recorded a mixture of old and new. Very excited by our newest song “Give”

…and possibly trying out a few variations on instrumentation.

Studio is developing a nice, lived in vibe.

First of all, sorry to anyone who came down to see us at the Finsbury Town Hall. The band who provided the drum kit had to leave, so we couldn’t play. Apologies to all.

Here’s a pic of Toy Toy playing their set, which was tight!

On a lighter note, great day in the studio today. Rory’s got a brand new studio, which is great:

G from Speakers Corner Quartet came down help produce. Always good to have an extra set of ears, very happy with the way things are sounding.

Tried out a new version of Can’t Be Saved.

Couple of videos of Archie and Ferry improvising between takes – (whilst Rory was fixing the desk!)

New direction? We’re in there for the next seven days. Gonna blitz it! Here’s to over egging the Sound of Rum egg pudding!
