June rehearsals

We had our June rehearsals in the Rock 'n' Roll Tavern in Malečnik for a change. A) it's hot like hell in our place at the Coast, and B) some of us had other errands to run nearby, so it was convenient. Especially for band members from Maribor :)

The material is now finished and relatively "stable", so we can hardly wait for some gigs in the autumn.

Live video: The End of the Vilewood Road

Here's the last (relatively useful) video from the gig at the Rock 'n' Roll Tavern in Malečnik near Maribor. That is, at least until the owner of the second camera decides to solemnly unveil what he managed to record (if anything).

As with the other videos below, the sound was recorded directly with the camera, so it's not exactly something to write home about... Though in comparison to other camera recordings I've had the misfortune of hearing I think it's surprisingly good in comparison. After I got my paws on the videos I also extracted the sound, processed it (to a feasible extent :)), and sent it back to the video guy, who then re-rendered the videos using the processed sound tracks.

Live video: TV Turns on You

Here's a video of TV Turns on You from the gig in Malečnik. The sound's been recorded directly with the camera (and post-processed a bit, as far as possible), so all things considered it actually turned out relatively well, I think. In my experience camera mikes frequently clip uncontrollably, mangling the sound beyond recognition, but I find this quite... erm... passable :)

A couple o' pics

Finally got around to organising the photos from out first full-length gig (Rock 'n' Roll Tavern, Malečnik, 21 May 2011). Here are some of them:



More pics here.
A couple of videos coming soon.

Whoa...

Whoa, we've somehow managed to survive our first real gig. I'd hereby like to thank the (barely) alive band members, the (equally barely) living members of the supporting band Second Chance Blown, as well as the impervious staff of the infamous Rock 'n' Roll Tavern located in a fabulous gorge east of Maribor. Pics and videos most probably coming when we're done with stringent scrutiny and data exchange. :)

Yippee...!

Yippee, the album is off to the printing press! Or, rather, was off to the printing press last Wednesday, but I forgot to post the good news here. So, I'm doing that now. Plus, I'm also attaching the cover:

Graphics done

The artwork for our upcoming debut album is done, all conjured up by Matej Peklar. Thanks a heap o' heaps, he has SERIOUS quantities of beer coming to him :)

Check the stuff out at our Facebook page.

The physical release of the album is planned for the end of May, just before the two gigs we already have booked. Whee, it's almost an all-Slovenian tour, that! :D

April rehearsals

Oops! It's been a while. Yep, we've skipped the March rehearsals, I suppose... So here we are, after the April rehearsals, which were... Well... Regular, nothing to write home about. I suppose we can play well enough to make April fools of ourselves in public now. I hope that not many musicians who know what it's all about will be present when we stage the vile thing.

Anyway, here's some pics, as usual. We've also recorded the audio output of the whole affair (yes, another lousy live take), but I haven't yet brought myself to sift through it. Maybe some other day. Today it might depress me. It may make me laugh on Thursday, though.
