All about Static of the Gods: Archives for May, 2009

As you might know, for some reason I really love wearing a dress when we play.  Not sure if it comes from childhood when wearing anything besides jeans meant it was a special occassion - actually, come to think of it, I'm still kind of like that!  So here's my great new handmade dress that ...


so we're taking a small little break from recording to rehearse for this show on may 30. we've got some surprises in store for everyone...


got up early this morning to work on some guitar and bass parts. we've decided to focus on 3 to 4 song batches, get everything recorded for those songs then move to the next batch. I've almost got my parts done, a few more days of work. jen's gonna work on her parts the next ...

Spent a good part of the day today dealing with all those things that often get pushed under the rug. Had to pay a visit to my local insurance agent to pay a few months of late gear insurance (oops).  But have no fear, as of today, all our gear is covered and protected again.  Now ...


We started officially recording guitar today.   For the last couple of days, we've been trying to smack some sense into AC30, and it finally listened.  Ben got his guitars done for "Talk you down", although we still have some double up some parts with the Big Muff. The AC30 is still periodically making some unsettling rattling ...
