Studio Session #3 | April 10-11

Hit the vocals hard this past weekend. Knocked out 6 more tracks. 4 tracks left to finish up on vocals. Played around with the McMullephone on the closing track. Adam came along this weekend and was very helpful. Nice to have another set of ears around. Back again in two weeks to finish vocals and hopefully begin mixing!

Studio Session #2 | Mar 28-29

Just returned from Athens. This weekend we finished up guitars, worked on vocals, and experimented with a few keyboard tracks. The record is proving more difficult that we anticipated. We're working hard though!

Studio Session #1 | Feb 20-22

We rolled into Athens on Friday afternoon. Knocked out guitars for 6 tracks. On Saturday we continued tracking, finishing up all electric guitars for the most part. We got the bass tones set up and Joey cut one track before we called it a day. Had some dinner downtown and caught a show at Caledonia.

Sunday we finished up bass, and I laid down a few acoustic guitar tracks. We all feel very accomplished and ready to move on with vocals and snyth during our next recording session.

Getting some dark sounds.
It appears that we adore fender.
Getting some different bass tones with this crazy rocket bass.
Joey trying to find the perfect setting. Joe on the boards.
"Golden"
Looks like B Minor.
See you all soon!

Start Date

An official recording date has been announced. We hit the studio February 21st. We've changed around tracks once again, and have been working hard on pre-production. Our recent shows have really helped us get a feel for the record and also narrow down songs. Constant criticism and refinement, if you will. We're looking forward to starting the process, one step at a time. After so many pitfalls and changes along the way we're still going in with a fresh and inspired attitude! We're more ready than ever for the challenge!

We have a show on the 11th of February at The Star Bar with our good friends The Coathangers. Its part of their month long residency.

Also, check out a remix of "Insecure Hearts" from our Luna Park EP over on our myspace page.

Looking into the New Year

Played last night at The Drunken Unicorn. We play again on Friday as part of a special night. Joy Division vs. New Order. We'll be covering 2 songs by each.

We've been putting the final touches on pre-production before we begin recording the record. I'll be out of town the first half of January. We have 2 shows lined up in the 2nd half, then towards the end of the month we hit the studio in Athens, GA. It has been a long process getting to this point, and I'm confident in our decisions. It's a process. Evolving. Creating. Re-arranging. Fine tuning. Destructing. Picking, choosing. Wrestling. Listening. Chewing. Maybe not chewing. You get the idea. In the end we plan to make something that makes us proud, and maybe gets a few toes tapping as well.

Jan 15th. The Earl. with The Goldest, Beige. 8:30pm. $7
Jan 24th. 529. with Judi Chicago. 9pm. $5.

White Lake

Played last night with The Coathangers and Baby Dinosaurs vs. Extinction at Mint Gallery. It was a benefit for the gallery. We were happy to play, and I also provided some artwork. Everything went smoothly and it was a lot of fun!

Another change with the record. We've decided to program all the drums. We feel it will give the record a nice cohesion. Still re-working and editing tracks before we hit the studio in Athens. Won't be long now! I created a new Sealions website.

sealionsmusic.com

Check it out! Soon the player will be filled with new songs!
