Been a whole six months since I wrote a post. In between lots has happened! First and most stunning is that Jamie is now in Calgary! Indeed, that has and will have an impact on the band. But, we plan to keep at recordings. The good news is the tracks for "Whiners and Losers" are done and now I just have to get to the final mixes.
Shouldn't be too long for that so look for an early 2012 release.
We found one single male bedbug in The Whiners studio shortly after the previous blog and, well, if you've ever had the pleasure, you'll know safe is better than sorry. We did the big spray and had to move everything out and about - not once but twice! Decided to referbish and move the shit around so it took a long time to get the studio back in place. While all that delay was going on Jamie and I lost time on the album. I'm really sorry about that since it was just around the time the studio was complete that Jamie got the offer to move away.
So, as Stephen King says in his latest book (11/22/63 which is awesome): "Life turns on a dime". Indeed it does as we saw The Whiners world turn.
A band called The Truffle Pigs got in touch with me and we're going to jam and see if anything comes out of this. I have an idea for a concept album around the Life Turns on a Dime thought so we'll see if they can assist in some ways. Jamie and I have the seeds for a third album as well: "A Whole Lotta' Water". I'm excited to see how Truffle Pigs, a Calgary Jamie and some other local buddies might combine for this concept thing. Something to stay tuned for ...
I've added an early mix of Jamie's last recorded track for now: "Time To Do Some Walking" - enjoy - Whiners and Losers is gong to be something special I think.
