2006-06-06 Smoke On The Water!

To the background of prog-rock, we played our first studio session at Lounge Guitars last Wednesday. Hilarious! Half expecting a large expanse of space to put our equipment, we were put in a graffiti'd box, with the average biker clientelle playing the usual 70's favourites...grrrreeeaat!

It was great to be able to crank it up, but unfortunately we got a bit carried away, and did not take into account the mix of sounds. The first half did not sound well at all, and we decided to alter the room to that bass and drums were next to each other, and the guitars were together, which improved things incredibly!

We went through all the songs several times, with Duffy stopping us to clarify how we want to play certain sections. Bit difficult with Stephen continuing to jam during the breaks while we tried to discuss the songs, but we got there in the end! Made us laugh...

Duffy suggested to play a gig before I go away, but far too early!

Closedown our perfect song, with Am I Close a close second. All others need work! Not long though! DLYN was actually sounding pretty impressive after playing it repeatedly 5-10 times! Very pleased!

We have between 13-16 songs now, and we need to work on more!

Although I was feeling pretty rough, the session turned out well!

The next session will be awesome!
