Winter = Snow

This winter has sucked. But it is winter and it does snow (I have to think Mr. Jacob Halpern for pointing this out recently on facebook). Prior to the snowpocalypse, we were very priviliged to have The Entrance Band come in for a session while on tour. First of all, I had never heard of The Entrance Band (maybe because I'm 40?) but I had heard of Paz Lenchantin, who is the bass player for said band. Paz played on the first two albums with A Perfect Circle and was in Billy Corgan's Band Zwan after Smashing Pumpkins. First of all, she is hot. Secondly, she makes me question why I would ever even attempt to play bass. She is simply fantastic and it was a pleasure to have them in. They worked on a new demo, yet unheard by anyone, and it was cool to be part of that. Here I am with Paz. By the way, James and Michelle have both forbidden me from wearing this sweatshirt or any athletic oriented clothing to future sessions where cameras may be present.

Next up, we had The George Elliot Underground in for a 3 song session. These are the guys who have been actively attempting to corrupt my protege James for the past 4 months for late night parties and various excursions that are unmentionable via this blog. Suffice it to say, it was one of the best times I have had in a long time in the studio. They are just so much fun and and it comes across in their music. They have an incredible following in Columbus and if you ever get a chance to see them live, you must. I have a feeling one of the tunes we recorded this month will be on the radio real soon. Here we are after wrapping up the mixing session this weekend....(note that I did not wear any sweatsuit related items).

In the next couple of weeks, we plan on getting a media page together to finally showcase all the great bands we have recorded in the past year. We have tons of material, including alot of video that we need to share. For now, we are just trying to make it til spring....
