So, we’ve got this little show coming up…
It’s 8 bands, all of ’em pretty raucous, and we should be in the mix later in the evening, for just under an hour. If you’re on Facebook, join the event and let us know you’re coming! We’ll see you on Sunday, July 27, at Undercurrent! Continue reading
We picked-up a last-minute gig at Hunt Club for this Saturday, June 7! Come on down to 224 N. Main in beautiful Downtown Tulsa, and enjoy the warm summer weather while sipping a beer on the patio, or chill under the a/c inside. Come challenge us to a game of drunk shuffleboard! Andrea from The Big O Show will open. Show should start around 10pm. — from http://ift.tt/LG4VCL… Continue reading
I’m about halfway finished mixing the new album, so it seems like a good time to finally share something. Here’s one of the finished mixes! It’s a bit of new-wave introspection, a bouncy groove for a rainy day. It’s representative of the sound that the first half of this album will have — with the second half being a little heavier and a little weirder, but hopefully just as sonically pleasing… Continue reading
Good god, what month is this? Where did that hand come from? Where the hell am I? In other words: News!
(1) First off, we’d like to welcome our new bassist, Matt Mayo! He’s a fine chap. Much finer than that other chap, Andy Jenson, who used to play bass with us. Much easier on the eyes, I mean. If you’re into hillbilly pharmacists with a bacon fetish. If that’s your thing. I mean it takes all sorts, man. All sorts.
Andy parted from the band amicably after recording the new album with us. Which is why all… Continue reading
Doing our second (and final) group recording session today! We’re re-recording just a couple of things which didn’t work so well last time, and adding a few bits of color to the mixes. Can’t wait to let you all hear this stuff! — from http://www.facebook.com/DachshundBand… Continue reading
We have finished recording all the primary tracks for the album! On to other parts of the project… — from http://www.facebook.com/DachshundBand… Continue reading
What goes into recording an album in your house? Well, here’s how we do it.
On Saturday 10/5/13, we moved all of our gear into Ryan’s house, taking over every available space for the purposes of recording our second album (Crooked House). The plan was to cut 13 tracks over the following handful of days, and that’s what we’ve been doing. We just finished up tonight’s session on Monday, 10/7, and we have two songs left to record. So, everything’s going according to plan, heh heh heh (rubs fingertips together).
Here’s a whirlwind tour of our recording setup — awkwardly hosted by Ryan, and barely filmed by Eric, both of whom probably should have known better than to attempt anything involving video. (Sorry about the camera turning sideways. Eric didn’t know you shouldn’t do that with an iPad while filming.) And the Academy Awards for Best Host of A YouTube Video and Best iPad Cinematography go to…!
We’re gonna start recording tracks for our new album tomorrow at the homestead. This one will be a longer and more thematic album than “Ballad of Shorty Long.” If you saw the preliminary sketches of the cover we posted last week, you might have already gleaned that the name of this one is “Crooked House.” Anyway, that’s all I’ll say about it for now. We’re excited! Wish us luck! — from http://www.facebook.com/DachshundBand… Continue reading
