Important things first - here's the guitars and amps being used:
You'll probably all recognise the Hallmark Wingbat. The Mosrite influenced baritone is a Harley Benton (Thomann's own brand) and AFAICS a rebadged version of the Eastwood Sidejack DLX Baritone with a couple of cosmetic differences. Thomann were recently selling them off at £65 and I couldn't resist!
And some basses:
The view from the drum kit:
And finally getting down to actually recording some songs:
Listening to the playback with Phil the engineer:
And Mr Venom working out that all-important Glockenspiel part:
We ended up getting 14 songs recorded for the album plus a few alternative versions to be hopefully used as singles. That was accomplished by pretty much recording everything live with a few guitar, vocal, theremin and percussion overdubs.
Mixing takes place in a few weeks time, and we hope to have the album out on vinyl and download later in the year.
Watch this space!
