Friday July 25th
On Wednesday night I played a solo show at Trash Bar in Williamsburg Brooklyn. My set went well. It was originally going to
be a songwriters night, but I was booked between two bands that probably would have been better for Bugs in the Dark to play
with. It was a cool challenge, and I had fun regardless. The bands were great - Insouciant and Quiet Loudly. The promoter,
DJ Mojo, is super cool and I got a chance to hang with him before the show.
I've been recording like crazy and somehow
I feel like I'm barely making a dent in the amount of work I have ahead of me. It feels so good to know that I'm working so
hard at what I love. After work I come home and start recording. On the weekends, I wake up, eat and then start recording.
It's an exciting and creative time for me. I wish I had more time to put into the recordings though.
The way I'm working
with mt (my producer) is that I demo songs at home until I know what artistic direction I want to take them. I send him the
demo and then we record it in the studio with fantastic microphones and various other wonderful pieces of equipment. Then
he might send it back to me for me to add things on at home, or we might have it on hold for a drummer to add some parts.
So far, nothing is finished. A few songs are close. I think we have 6 songs started. I can't wait to have 12 songs finished!
