Hola!
I hope everybody had great Holidays, and brought in the new year with a bang!
So by now you must have at least some idea of how slow the music industry moves. Yes, it was in fact August when we headed to the big apple to record...and Yes, we finished recording in October. Now I know what you are thinking..."What in the world could possibly be taking so long?" The answer is in the Mix my friends... Mixing is a very important part of record making, and can make or break an album. This is why we have spent so long on this part of the process. We are being very picky, and for good reason. Luckily...the end is in sight!!! The guys and I spent the holiday break listening on our own to all the mix's. We finally got together for the first time last night to discuss. I'm actually pretty surprised at the results. For the most part we all shared the same opinions. Quite a feat. for 4 totally different people and personalities...the true test is getting everybody at the label and management to all agree. When that will happen is totally out of my hands...I'm still waiting to hear a final answer on which photo's everybody likes! LOL!!! It's all good. I have faith in the process, and the people behind it.
So anyway...during the downtime, the guys and I have been working on our live show. Putting everything together. Gearing up for a tour. I think we will start to venture out and about sometime in Feb. Probably a small scale D.I.Y. tour to start, just to get some road legs, and work out the kinks... and then hopefully move on to something a bit bigger once the album drops, and we start to see some radio play..which of course we will get thanks to all our amazing and dedicated fans who will be calling in...(hint,hint, nudge,nudge). I gotta tell you...the idea of taking our "rock show" cross country really turns me on. I'm getting pretty excited. Been awhile since I've heard someone yell out "freebird"!
K., I'm off...
Gotta finish watching "Jack Bauer" save the world!
