prepro wrap up

This last week has been a whirlwind. We have been doing pre production with Joe Chicarelli each day which has been awesome. Joe has had such great ideas and input and the songs are even better now than they were last week. This whole writing process has been interesting and different for all of us. With the last record we had been playing most of the songs for a while before recording them and knew exactly what we wanted them to sound like. With this record we wrote everything in a very short amount of time and left a lot of it open to work through in pre production. We are all extremely excited to see how they continue to progress once we get into the studio.
Today I am heading to Matt Malpass’ studio Marigolds & Monsters to work on a new project for Favorite Gentlemen. We are going to be recording video and audio of Right Away, Great Captain! performing a few songs for a new series we are starting. This is the test run so I am excited to see how it all turns out. J is helping out and taking care of all of the video duties. It is amazing having friends like Matt and J, that are so talented at what they do and who are willing to get involved and try new things like this. Hopefully all will go smoothly.
