Show at Portales went great, new songs sounded solid and we saw a lot of head banging and foot taping, we went up on stage kind of late (midnight) so we lost some bodies towards the end but good show overall, Sexta Vocal was supporting act and did a great job!

Recording. First two day session completed. It was a sticky one! New room didn’t have AC yet, Seth worked really hard, we played “scratches” along with him, some scratch tracks were previously recorded. It was awesome to have so many snare sounds (Black Beauty, Chad Smith, Yamaha maple, Bubinga etc) Thanks to Claudio from Papas Underground for providing some fancy snares.
