And the bass is done too...

After a mammoth weekend recording session I'm pleased to report all the bass tracks are done.

The only casualities are my fingertips and my wallet...I owe the swear jar approximately £376 because of some creative profanity following the odd clanger or four. Noog kept his composure throughout. I was expecting a Yosemite Sam style eruption, complete with steam coming out of his ears to the sound of a whistling kettle, after I announced for the umpteenth time that "that'll do".

I can only assume two days of listening to nothing but bass has completely wrecked his hearing.

The drums are done... And I survived!!!

The drum tracks are done. Finished! Terminado! Finito! Eindproduct!
A big thank you to Greg "the dark" Haver for the use of his "heavier
than hell" cymbals. They sound so much better that Denleys dustbin
lids!
The drum sessions went fairly well... As well as can be expected. If
anyone has sat through a drum session they'll know exactly what I
mean.
It took 8 sessions altogether (Den thought he'd be back home smoking a
kipper after 3 nights... How wrong he was!), and they sound pretty
darn good.
There's some editing to happen and done "fixing it when we're mixing
it" but it's not a total disaster and that's pretty much a total
success!

Guitars now....... The fun starts here!

A message from Noog...

Hey...Noog's asked me to pass on a message...

"hey,
you may have been wondering what the heck is going on cos we've been quiet for a while.
or you may not.
but i'm gonna tell you anyway.
we're just (FINALLY!) finishing off writing and demoing the last couple of songs for the album.
it's gonna be 12 or 13 tracks long, some you've heard, and some that you haven't.
in a few weeks we're gonna embark on the long journey of recording it all, and if i dont go deaf in the mean time we should have it all together around xmas/early jan.
the release is penciled in for april/may next year and we'll be back on the road making your ears bleed again.
if you cant wait that long (which i think you probably can, by hey!) we'll be posting some live songs from the gig we played for the devil may care video launch on our website www.saltheband.co.uk soon!
i'm going to be videoing the whole process of recording/mixing the damn thing so you can all see the pain i'm going to go through! it'll be kinda like metallica's some kind of monster without the rehab and door slamming. well, i expect there'll be 1 or 2 doors slammed along the way.
anyway, we'll keep you posted with how it's all going and maybe teasing you with some clips along the way.
