I got a chance to see this group at Yoshi’s in Oakland a couple nights ago. A friend of mine currently getting his doctorate in math at stanford (fun!) is a big fan and has seen them like six times. He actually went back the night after we went for their third and final performance. They reminded me of Matt Chamberlain’s band Critters Buggin who I saw at Stubbs in Austin with Joey Parish a few years back. Both groups are driven by awesome drummers and capture the audience from begining to end with their intensity and musical wit. I highly recommend both groups as must see performances.
Listening…
The whole band got together at the barn today to listen through the rough mixes of all the songs. basically this is a last chance to make any minor changes to the songs and see if we need to track anything else in these last few days before shane heads back to nashville. i’m really excited about this record being released. sorry you guys have to wait till fall. i guess we’ve always been into creating anticipation.
Tambourine
so my tracking experience might be over. the percussion stuff (tambo, bells) is usually my last chance. joy!
