The Union

I released this video a few weeks ago but hadn't gotten around to posting it on ye olde blog yet. I've played drums for a long time but seeing as how I live in an apartment, I don't get to practice too often. Still, I bust them out for special occasions, like a song that needed some percussion. You can tell that I'm a true band geek by the way that I silence the cymbal during the quiet section. That's some orchestra-level skill right there, people.

Also, somehow I lost all the footage of me playing guitar for this track too. There are lots of guitars squeezed into this song and I was hoping to show that. Oh well. Next time.

We Stand In Front, In Video Form!

When recording the final track for the Twelve Songs Project, I decided to go ahead and make a video too. Last time I did this, my recording engineer got on my case for not turning the actual audio from the video recording up a bit to give it more of a room sound. So, I did that this time. Oh, how I wish I'd taken video of me playing the guitar solo too. Playing guitar solos makes me feel like a real badass!

Me Play Drums

I found this old blog post that I never got around to editing. It probably had something to do with me playing drums. That seems as good a segue as any to tell you that I have a new song out called "The Flood Building". Yet, there is no snare drum in "The Flood Building". But there are shakers so... close enough?

The World's First?

Actually, Regina and I already know that this is not the world's first mixing/ironing session. It's the second. We had the first one a few weeks ago. This is just how The Heated gets down on a Friday night. Woo hooo!
