Whatup Mob? It's Bradley...

Well we are back in the Lou!! Who'da thunk you'd miss the skunk?

But man did we have a good time in Cali, and if I may sayseaux myself it was a very productive trip. From Monroe to Houston and Houston to L.A.X....(on no sleep) It all started on a "Hip Hop Rock Star" note. Josh and Kiehl picked us up from the airport and we went straight to Every Angle Studios for some how ya been's, R&R, and whatnot.

Tyler and I decided we'd be troupers and hang out for the night so we met up with Comedian Mike Dunphy and our good friend Roostar (Cock-a-doodle-Doostar). Mike was doing a set at the Improv on Melrose so we were all up ins. From the get-go we were having a good time. Well so I had to go take a leak and I hear Roostar whisper in my ear something muffled, i acknowledged that he said something, but i had not heard it clearly. I walk back from the laboratory and noticed someone very familiar. "Thats Mandy Moore" I said to myself... Then Roostar's word's came back to me... "CockaMandyMoore" haha or something like that.. Man, This Chick was TALL. Like Ronald tall. But all was good. Tyler got to meet "Hanging with Mr. Cooper" Mark Curry. It was a good time but we had an early wake up call so we rain-checked on the After Party.

The next day we woke up and got ready for the long day ahead of us. It was time to record our CD with Grammy Award Winning and totally cool, cool guy... Mr. Bob Wayne at Sunburst Recordings. If you ever go there you have got to try that water.... MMMMMMM.... I have recorded a couple of times and I have never had a bad experience...UNTIL NOW!!! Not that it was bad, It just put all of my other experiences to Shame. Bob had us sounding like, how Heaven would sound, if Heaven were a Kickass Rock Band. So we put down "Cold & Alone","Open your Heart", "Birds Eye", and "Year's Ahead"(Affectionately knows as "Years Of Head" They were all Exceptional, incredible, pieces of work. Wait, and ye shall see.

Sunday, it was onto another Studio, and once again a great Experience. Stagg Street Studio's in Van Nuys. It Was Huge! They're Mixing board was as big as my apartment! Again another promising day of recording as we laid down "BelAir NahNah","Where'd You Go?",and "New Wings" I really can't wait until this Cd comes out. So here's the progress we've made on it so far..

Fallen
Can't Get Enough
Mr. Wonder
Colors
Arms of a Bullet
Year's Ahead
Cold&Alone

So Whats Left?
A Few more Vocals and a little bit of Mixing

OK... SIDETRACKED

Back to Sunday, We finish recording and now it's time to relax because we have to get hardcore later tonight. Yep, Playin for some hardcore Bikers tonight at McMurphys in Pasadena. That is until we got there, and in the waiting line we see these coolcats wearing there blasers and penny loafers. Now Don't get me wrong, there were a few guys in there i wouldn't wanna cross in an alleyway, but i really don't wanna be put in that sitiuation anyway. SO we get up on stage, do our thang, get offstage, and ummm leave. aha. yea.One step is an imprint. It was fun though. Lemmy from Motorhead was there and he said he liked it. He then said "It's time to play the game" and then spit water at me. We then went and ate and went to bed!

Man it seems like I am skipping a day.. oh well

So the "NEXT" day, we get up to go to the Beverly Center to meet up with Keihl. He takes us to the Ed Hardy Shoes Offices and let me tell ya, we got hooked up!! They have a new line of clothing called SMET....It is whats up. We got to meet the CEO's Philip and Jon. They were very cool guys. Took some pics.... Zach got just a little too turned on by himself when he noticed an almost lifesized Photo of him from SPIN Magazine.
(if you wanna look cool go to www.donedhardyshoes.com)

From there we went to L.A. Rims where we just found out we would be shooting a music video for Fallen. The guys there were great too. They Just wrapped up a reality show that will soon air on Fox Reality or VH1. We would come back later that evening to shoot the Video.

The Next Day was one of my personal faves. We had a photoshoot with Jody Domingue. (myspace.com/jodydomingue) It was a long day but i have never seen a better quality picture. Very nice, How Much?

So once all the work was done it was finally time to relax. Well the work wasn't done but.. hey it never is. Ronald had to come back early which ended up being at a perfect time since we had  got most of the group stuff close to finished.

We did a little more recording vocals and piano on Thursday and Friday, and the joined our friends in The Myron Barnett Band on Friday Night. And now here we are.Back in the other LA.  Sorry this has been so long, but i tried to make it as fun to read as possible.There will be another blog soon as we are scheduled to be back in Cali in April... Until then... Check out our Showdates coz we might be near you. Keep rockin and tell your friends to Join the Mob!!!

Bradley,
Sweetlake Mafia

So...

We were planning on being on the West Coast in Vegas on the 23rd, but we had to scrap that. However, we will be flying from LA to L.A. on the 22nd of February and we will be there until March 1st. We plan on wrapping up our first cd. As many of you may know, we began recording in December in Nashville and we will put the final touches on it in L.A. We would like to thank everyone who has been involved in helping us make this cd possible.

We are also planning on doing a couple of shows as well as a few photo shoots, so if you are in the L.A. area please come show us cajun boys some love....
