one lonely vision into the mixing session at Studio Guapo...Chris is a hell of a host. We ask for

beer

he brings

tequila

...oh well



and while we were playing our acoustic set at the
Guerrero Gallery
last week these shenanigans were going on in the gallery...




it was a giant pool filled with water and watermelons...pretty cool

next Thursday...the big
DAY

please and thank yous.

Hello all.
This record is done. Its been almost 2 years since we began it at
Tiny Telephone
and I can't tell you how excited we are that its done. We are really looking forward to the 4th when we can put it in you hands...
Meantime we just wanted to take a moment to give a few shout outs to some folk...
First off The folk at Tiny Telephone-Owner
John Vanderslice
is a generous and accommodating man...
the brothers Pellicci
Jay and Ian
are fantastic engineers and we loved working with them both.

Our Friend John Edman out in Stockton who recorded 4 of the songs on the CD did an amazing job especially considering the tree that fell on the roof of the studio.

Then on to Chris Forrest at
Studio Guapo
who was thrust into the fold with no warning and did an bang up job mixing.

Then on to Mike Wells who has a
mastering studio
in Hyde Street studios. He is amazing and took a patchwork quilt of an audio project and made it sound like a coherent and frankly, kick ass rock and roll record!

Our friend back east
Adam Fowler
whipped up a beautiful cover and CD art work...

My Lil brother
William
fronted us the cash to do the first round at Tiny Telephone and we couldn't have done any of it without him...

It takes a village to raise an
idiot
...and we are thankful to all the happy villagers.

on another note-we are extra pleased to announce that our friend Asa Sanchez of
Top Critters
notoriety will be sitting in on keys for the show at Du Nord. I am retiring my foot pedals and exchanging them for dancing shoes so I can really cut loose on stage :)

Its going to be a hell of a night folk...don't miss it.

the goings on...

So we have been struggling with our video footage from the show with the Sinfonietta...the show was great and we had an amazing time-once we get some decent footage worked down to a manageable size we will post it!
In the meantime...put August 4th down on yr calenders...looking for the 1st full length from ADA to drop that night at cafe du nord...more details to come...

also Jonathan and I did a little music composition for this ad which came out pretty well:
