Man of the Times

We're going to end 2010 with the first taste of what this song sounds like with audible vocals and Scott playing drums.

Won't you take a moment and click on the tag for Man of the Times below this post? You'll get all the versions to date and with it, a tangible evolution of the rock and roll song as we write them.

See you in 2011

Man of the Times, Scott Gursky Edition

We did some recording last week with our friend Scott. You most likely know him as the drummer of one of our favorite bands, the Obits. We ran through about four songs, the arrangements, playing, and recording fidelity could be kindly described as loose, but we had a lot of fun with them which I think comes across in these recordings.

Vocals are kind of inaudible, but thats all you can hear in previous recordings. Been a while since we shut the fuck up and played fast.

If you have a minute, click on the song title in the tags below this post, it will produce a record of all the versions of the song to date. Gives an idea of the evolution of the song, with this one in particular, it definitely took an unforeseen positive turn this last Friday.

Happy guajolote to everyone, we'll have more for you next monday.

This is another demo we had previously posted here without drums that we recorded with Nick a few weeks back. As with the others, everything you hear is live except for the lead guitar track which we overdubbed later.

This will be the last of these recordings that we're going to post here. Beginning next week and up until we go back in to record with a drummer again, we'll be posting new demos, mostly without any kind of percussion.

We've reached the point where we would like to bring a drummer in, and a second guitar. If you've been paying attention to what we've been doing lately, please pass this along to anyone you think may be interested. We've been operating in a somewhat unorthodox fashion by the 2010 band standard, so we're very flexible as far as what we're specifically looking for commitment wise.

If you are not interested, maybe someone you know is. Keep us in mind, and don't be shy, the more good people contributing the better this gets.

Hey there.

So if you've been following along with us over the course of the past month or so, you know that we've been posting one demo of a new song per week. To date these have all been without drums, however thats all going to change a week from Wednesday when we record the best of what we have to date with a drummer.

In the meantime, we've got two more drum-less demos for you starting this week with "Man of the Times." Thanks for keeping up with us and stay tuned.
