Even though we are still in the process of recording the sound you will actually hear on your silver disk spinning machine or magic pocket noise maker. I would like to take the time and pat the people on the back that have been helping us, up to this point in the project.
First up to the set is Nathan Payne, He stepped up and sat down behind the set when Craigslist had failed us (and we were too cheap for bandmix)! He came about from TVU's awesome friend David Graham.*tips hat to Dave* Even though Nathan already has an obligation to another band (Verdant Vera) and his own solo work (Nathan Payne), he took his time to help us get a rough idea and tracking of the upcoming album. Though we don't get to play with Nathan as much, he's still from time to time appearing behind the set at a few TVU gigs.
Next is an example that there are interesting people you work with! Brent McClughen is a co-worker of mine who was able to sit in on a last minute gig! Just like my start with TVU, Brent was able to be ready (He would say semi-ready) in less then a week or two for an outdoor gig. I'm sure you will be seeing him at a bunch of other gigs!
Lastly to the set is Andrew Moore. Andrew and I knew each other from a few other gigs and we have tried to keep in contact, just in case one of us needed help with another gig or recording. Also one of those gigs went WAY way way south and is not to be spoken of again so we built a good friendship through that! As Verdant Vera was beginning to get busy with gigs and album work, Nathan understandably needed to bow out as the primary drummer. With a phone call Andrew stepped up to the sticks. We began to practice and try to get a feel for the new drive in TVU. After that we started to roll tape on what is to become the new album. If you haven't got the chance to talk to Andrew, make it! He keeps very busy when it comes to the music world composing, and working with his own band (Circle City Steel).
Now I would be a total jerk if I didn't take the time and thank everyone that has supported/helped us and also all of Jons family and mine. The album maybe being developed very slowly but I can guarantee, you'll love it!
Now just sit tight, support your local bands and don't touch that dial! You don't know where it's been!
