Back to work on our second release for Bloodshot Records at Steve Fisk's luxury studios .

Hats off to Steve for actually being prepared for us at such an early hour , he and I were both out late , celebrating the release of 'About A Son' , Steve contributed much of the music to the film and in doing so , he provided a subtle but very effective backdrop to the story of  Kurt Cobain (as told by Kurt)

A very intimate , powerful  but ultimately sad film . Highly recommended!

Day one of our session was a success , two "basics" to tape so far , including 'Amen and Amen' and 'Deep Inside Your Shade'.

I have surrendered most of the drumming duties to Mike Musburger , as difficult as it is for me to sit by while some one else pounds the skins , I couldn't be working with a more capable or creative drummer. 

As always , the Sangsters are putting their signature magic to tape just as I knew that they would , Jim and Johnny and I will be heading to Vancouver B.C. on Friday to open for Brandi Carlile. Sadly , we have been asked to leave our drummer behind , I guess Brandi and the twins must have heard just how dangerously good Musburger is on the traps , I guess I can't blame them for being intimidated! If you're not familiar with the name Mike Musburger , he was the original drummer for the Posies and played with the Fastbacks,Shuggie and The Supersuckers.

Today , we intend to track 'Leaving With The Swamptones' , 'Let Me Down Easy', 'Cody and the Cowpunks' and 'Leaves'(I might try and convince Musburger to let me play drums on this one) Wish me luck !

More Soon !
