9/12ths through 2009

Been far too long since the last blog... apologies! What the heck have we been doing all year?!?!?


We played a few shows. Good times at the Cincinnati Zoo, Great American Ball Park, and a few others...




Mostly it's been recording recording recording. We're in the middle of 15 new songs... another session or two should have them wrapped up, then mixing galore.

Preston and Randy worked on some final vocal overdubs for a few songs and I laid down a very long mandolin dub... lordy, my fingers were burning afterwards.

Some of us went to the beach, some of us went to Colonial Williamsburg, some of us went to Carmel Indiana. It's been a strange sporadic summer for Screaming Mimes... bursts of intense rehearsals and activity followed by droughts of emailing back and forth and recording sessions.

Now we have some big decisions to make... song order? Anything get cut? Album art - for that matter, album name! Where to master... where to have a CD release... should I try and play that mandolin live?

We'll try and keep you posted on our decisions... look for a very early 2010 release.

Chubs,

Dave
