Recording - Day Zero

Ahoy,

Last year around this time Geo and I began recording "Set Sail For Sodomy" at Strong Arm Studios. It was the beginning of a four month process for which we avoided sunlight and negative people to finally put what we thought was our masterpiece. It was the end of a four year struggle where we weathered through a myriad of line up changes, false starts, and a long stint of writers block. By the time the album finally came out it was as if a great and tiresome weight had been lifted off our collective shoulders. We had a new purpose, new vitality, and the realization that we just loved playing music together. All the bullshit had finally flowed downstream and it was just the four (now 6) of us just having a good time, once again playing Rock n Roll cause we just felt like hanging out together, drinking beer and having a few laughs. Out of this came a bunch of new (and old) songs that we couldn't wait to record on a full length, so tomorrow Geo and I will once again submerge ourselves in the basement of Strong Arm (which now is very nice and un-dungeon like) and begin work on "Sail Among Us". It is going to be a good old fashioned punk rock Ep that we'll have out before Christmas. Five songs for five bucks! I am going to keep up this blog while we record "Sail Among Us", and there will be webisodes and other goodies soon to follow. I'm Psyched!!!

I hope all is well wherever you are,

Handsome John Miserable
