We were able to do a little recording tonight before we were interrupted by the band in the room next door to ours. This band is a band that each of us may hate more than most other things in the world. They are in their room everyday, or at least every day that we are in our room.

The crazy thing is that they are either the most eclectic band in the universe, or there are about 7 bands sharing that little room. Sometimes they play covers, sometimes they play originals, sometimes they play originals that sound nothing like the other originals, and sometimes they just scream into microphones. This is infuriating for a couple of reasons.

1. We’re recording while they rehearse, so we have to wait until they finish a song and quickly record a track before thy start another song.
2. If there are actually 7 bands in the room, at an estimate of 4 people per band, the normally $300 per month room would cost a measly $42.85 per band per month and even more infuriatingly, $10.71 per person per month.
3. What if it isn’t a band of people, but a band of ghosts instead?

But they do pay rent and I guess they have just as much of a right to be there, even though I’d like to pay them to stay away.

Anyway, here are some pictures of us recording some tracks for 53.

We’ll be playing at Bottom Lounge on February 28 with Alla, Tirra Lirra and The Singleman Affair. This is our first show at Bottom Lounge and we are honored to be sharing the stage with these bands.

Also, for this show, David Lubarski will be helping on drums, and for that we couldn’t be more excited.
