We finished the f*cker on Monday (the 17^th) and praise Jebus (or maybe Slash, he’s deity worthy) we’re happy to be done with it! It’s HUGE! Just buy it you cheap bastards! It took 19 days of recording spread over  a day more than 4 weeks.  3 guitar amps, 1 dead bass amp, 6 guitars, 2 basses, 2 snares, one vocal mic and a few bleeding eardrums later it’s going to bust into your home, blow your mind, drink your booze, kick your dog, blow up your video (ok DVD player) and probably sex your  auntie’s  on its way out.

A famous Nashville session muso once said that recording is 95% waiting around and 5% terror. It’s kinda like that but there are a few stopovers in between. The unavoidable cabin fever produces some quotable quotes though, so rather than waffle on with a blow by blow description of  boring details like who went to the toilet when, what they’re mood was, level of excremental success achieved and what manner of pant they had to pull down here’s a few choice Koritni studioisms that came about in the making of the yet to be named Koritni sequel. Enjoy:

1. “Are you ready for your Cockmeat Sandwich”…this was a Dan Leffler regular while pushing pro tools buttons. I don’t know what movie he’s quoting but by the American hick voice and the content I’m guessing it’s a classy affair. It’s entertaining to hear but sho nuff I wouldn’t wanna  order me one o’ those  “cockmeat sandwiches”. I think this term was used more frequently on the days he didn’t manage to ride his bike before getting to the studio. For some reason there’s a link.
   
2. Insert Indian accent here, “Oh my God, cricket”. Yep, during the 95% waiting we watched more than enough cricket. This was a Chris special.
   
   
3. “Slut”! While at a glance there’s nothing special (or particularly polite) about this one, it was pulled out by many a band member watching female-hosted cooking shows also during the 95%. Looks bad in print but the sentiment was good. I personally have a bit of a thing for cooking show women and I know this penchant is shared by some of the other band members. So we can swear, but we can cook as well.
   
   
4. “Stop tuning and start shredding”…a request from Anton aimed at the Prince who given the freedom to do so, will tune his Firebird 24/7.ps that’s not a euphemism for something more interesting, or body fluidy.
   
   
5. “Well…you know…that’s kind of sh*t”. Invariably The Princes response when asked what he thinks of any take he’s done; regardless of the fact that it was perfect.
   
   
6. “Casualty of War”…Antons description of guitar parts that he decided wouldn’t make the cut during pre-production. All POW’s were treated with the utmost humanity.
   
   
7. “Monovowel”…Leffler’s nickname for Lex. Russian names aren’t exactly treasure troves of erm..vowels.
   
   
8. Phoenetically this one goes something like “hucken oaf haant”…If like myself or Leffler you grew up in “Straya” Australia, you’ll have heard many a bloke use this poetic phrase applicable to almost any scenario. Replace the H’s with an F and a C if you’re confused.
   
   
9. My personal favourite; Lex’s joke. It went something like this: A dude goes to prison and is shown to his cell. After the guard leaves, his new cellmate declares, “Alright we’re gonna play mummy’s and daddy’s, now which do you wanna be, mummy or daddy”? Choosing the safest option the newby replies “ahh, I’ll be the daddy”. Cell mate answers, “alright then, come and suck mummy’s dick”. Many thanks to the original author of this particular gem, whoever you are. It bought us all such joy.

That about wraps it up. We now have the traditional wait for mixing and mastering  and then you can have it….for some money of course J

Maybe next time I’ll write something nicer……or maybe not.

Rock on people. We’ll see you on tour, preferably at the bar!!!!!

Classic rockers from down under Koritni have set an April 22 release date for a two-disc DVD+CD set that compiles 3 hours of live performance, Red Live Joint, filmed and recorded during 3 different shows of the 'Lady Luck Tour 2007'. It features 15 tracks from the Lady Luck and Green Dollar Colour albums, one brand new song called Nobody's Home along with various covers from AC/DC, The Angels or Skid Row. The band also performed a special Guns N' Roses tribute show to celebrate the 20^th anniversary of Appetite For Destruction, included in this set.

The shows were filmed by 10 cameras and the audio is presented in stereo & 5.1 surround sound. The artwork has been done by Mark Wilkinson (Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Marillion, The Darkness ...) and the release will be first available as a strictly limited digipack of 1800 units !

What this CD/DVD is intended to do is give a great memory of the last two years of touring with 60 shows across Europe & Australia, and it's also an opportunity for the band to thank their fans for their support...

After some holidays and other activities around the globe, the whole band has now reunited in Sydney to write, arrange and rehearse new tracks for the next album, to be released in 2009. Until then ... enjoy RED LIVE JOINT !

I thought, since we have added this new track to our playlist, that i should write a little something to introduce you all to this track and how it came to be part of the Koritni world...

When "LADY LUCK" first hit the stores across Europe our manager (Sam "the devil" Prevot) organised some sweet press for us. One magazine that showed enough interest in us to put a song ('under the overpass') on a cover-mount cd was UK rock mag 'Classic Rock'. We got a great response from this exposure and wer absolutely chuffed that we got that opportunity.

Just as a side note: Classic rock also said that we were one of '2007's top ten bands to look out for' in their January 2007 edition!

So, when they asked us to contribute a cover of a Hollywood movie theme song for an upcomming issue, we were more than happy to oblige.

There were many ideas thrown around, mainly rock songs that you would expect a rock band such as us to do....'big guns' - ACDC, 'you could be mine' - Guns'n'Roses etc, but the general vibe of the band was that if we took such a route and covered these amazing songs they would end up sounding the same...but...not as good as the original.

Things were looking shaky when our badass singer Lex got the idea to cover something so random, so strange that it would blow everyone away. His idea - 'i had the time of my life' the theme song from the Patrick Swayze hit "Dirty Dancing".

Lex, the badass, arranged an awesome version that was so distant from the original only by the lyrics/melody could you tell in was the same song. We got together fine-tuned it, hit the recording studio and nailed that sucker.It was a great experience for me to record that song and be a part of something so cool and goofy at the same time.

The response we got from the mag was all positive. Even though they were suprised (and a little disturbed) by our pick they still appreciated a cool arrangement and a quircky idea pulled off by some awesome musicians(if i do say so myself about my band mates).

This cover-mount cd also provided a huge part of our UK audience. Having not been there before we weren't expecting many people to know us but we had heaps of people chatting to us at our gigs about our "time of my life" cover. So in short...thank you 'Classic Rock'.

Now it is time for you, our less fortunate audiences (only because you haven't heard the song before) to get a listen to our version of this incredibly cheesy song.

Let us know how good you think it is on a scale of 1 - 10. 1 being awesome and 10 being amazingly awwesome...

cheers
