Below you can read a studio update from Bayside (http://www.baysiderocks.com).
It's our second day in the studio, if you didn't get that from the headline. We're at "the clubhouse" in Rheinbeck, NY. We're recording drums right now in a big barn an living in the attached 5 bedroom farmhouse. It's pretty cool up here, if you're into this sort of thing. I was born and raised in Queens, NY so living on 10 acres of woods and being 5 miles from the nearest store is totally not my scene. We're trying to work out some sort of video update to give everyone a tour if the studio.
We spent all day yesterday and most of today getting drum sounds. We're recording in this huge barn so they're sounding pretty huge. At around 4:30pm today we decided on some tones and we started tracking. So far we have 1 drum take done for a song we're calling "SONG A" right now, for obvious reasons. We haven't came up with an official name yet. The chorus of the song is "The healing power of alcohol only works on scrapes and nicks, not on girls in seedy bars that drown themselves in it". If you think you have a good title, let us know. Chris is kicking ass so far. He's just going back into the drum room to start tracking a song we're calling "Master of Muppets" for absolutly no reason other then needing to call it something until we have a real title. If you've seen us live lately, that's the new song we've been playing.
We're going to be up here in Rheinbeck for about another week and then we head down to Queens to get started on bass and guitars. We expect to be finished with the record sometime in early December. Shortly after we finish recording, we're going to be playing 8 shows in the Northeast in small clubs just for kicks. All the shows are booked already but we're holding off on announcing club, date and ticket info until we feel like we're ready.
I know i haven't updated in a whille but I'll be back on the ball now that we're settled into the studio.
