Been awhile since an update, but things have been fairly busy around the studio with sessions with Evacuee. We've got 9 songs tracked, with a few more vocals and guitar overdubs to do. But we have about 3 songs fully mixed with the others well on the way. One of these mixes will be headed to the 2nd Lower Class Revolt Comp put together by Mike & Zoe of Devil in the Woods. One of the new Form & Fate tracks will be on the comp as well. I moved in with "evander" from James & Evander and we've been working on a lot of new songs for the next E.P. "Hold your horses, they're getting lonely." Lots of cheezy goodness. This past week (and the coming 2) are tracking and mixing Cattle Decapitation with Zack Ohren and Billy Anderson. After they wrap up it'll be more recording and mixing with Evacuee. Not to mention the nearly 40 practice spaces that Sharkbite is building over the next couple of months.

The Chop have released "We Want It All" (you can hear "Signs" in the player to the right) free for download! Check it out!

Been kinda relaxed this first half of June. The sessions with Cloud Archive, The Chop!, and Death of a Party all went really well. The Chops tracks are off to mastering, Cloud Archive are busy tracking extra instruments and electronics, as is DOAP. Today I got a call (at about 6:30 am) from Billy Anderson because he had just broken his hand and I was supposed to assist with him at Sharkbite today, so now I'm sitting and waiting for Border Wars to show up so we can track drums for there new full length. Hopefully Billy will be back up and running soon!

Also, picked up a few new toys the past couple of weeks, one being a Roland Juno 6 and an Omnichord. Both are really killer instruments and have awesome sounds. So if we're doing a session together and you want to use them let me know and I'll make sure they're there. For the most part they'll live at Sharkbite though.

Phones ringing, bands here.

Since the last update :
- I finished mixing the Mayne Smith record which is being mastered by Paul Stubblebine and will be released in mid June.
- Did the session with Exodus (which was crazy!) and the drums sounded killer, Tom sure knows how to play his kit!
- Mixed another two tunes with The Union Trade for their debut full length on Tricycle Records.
- Tracked a song for Evacuees forthcoming full length.
- Assisted on a session with Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen (another ridiculously good drummer).
- And tracked 2 more songs this past weekend for the new Form & Fate record.
Been real busy, and the rest of May is shaping up to remain busy with tracking The Dandelion War and Sax & Drum band Mo'Fone, then next month I'll be mixing some tunes for The Chop and tracking some with Cloud Archive.
I have some new pictures up on my Flickr from these sessions if you feel like checking it out under the pictures section.

You should be watching Battlestar Galactica,

Last week was busy with Mixing the Mayne Smith album and getting to track a new song for Judgement Day which was amazing. We tracked one full song, and then  tracked some violins on another track. It sounded epic! Anton might be doing some tracking on some Form & Fate songs which would be awesome. Next week sees tracking Exodus... Which is awesome. They're going to be tracking some tunes over at the bite with myself, and then sending the songs over to Andy Sneap for the mixing.

Thats all for now, check out the picture section for some shots of the Judgement Day session.

So this past week I was tracking some more with East Bayers Olehole. An awesome band and great guys, you can see some pictures from that session here and Ryan of AM Steel will be mixing that record in the coming weeks. Also, after the tour to SXSW, Form & Fate came back and tracked 2 new songs for the bands next release and we got some sweet bathroom hallway reverb. The My Mind sessions went really well, the band was stoaked and Ryan will probably be mixing that as well in the next week or so.

Big things are in store for Sharkbite, 40 or so new practice spaces and some new studios... More news to come!

-Adam
P.S. Check out my flickr page for more studio pictures.

Been assisting Billy Anderson over at Sharkbite the past week or so working with Giant Squid and Saros which has been a fun, esp. since we went to tape for Saros!
I'll be wrapping up the mixes for Nine Even on Thurs. and mixing the new Bloody Heads/Treasure album on Fri.
I've been working on a new J&E track with Glenn, its getting pretty epic with all the guitars that are going on it...
March is going to be busy with a little more assisting, then the Form & Fate tour down to SxSW (Check out 500records.com for more info on that if you're interested), tracking a band from Arizona (My Mind, with Ryan of AM Steel mixing), and then tracking 3 or 4 songs for the new Form & Fate record.

Busy busy month ahead of me! And April is shaping up to be equally busy!

Good times,
-Adam

Nine Even is (mostly) done! We've got one day booked for next week to do any final tweaks the band wants, but other than that the record is finished! Huzzah! They'll more than likely be taking it to Mike Wells for mastering and then I'll get a track posted up here. Speaking of posting tracks, I put up a track from the Evacuee sessions as well as Desa (which just released today!) and it sounds great! I also re-vamped the pictures section as well as added some gear I've picked up recently... Boss Hand clapper anyone?

Hey there, busy at the bite! Page Hamilton (Helmet, Bowie) has been producing, while Toshi Kasai (Tool, Melvins) manning the helm while I assist. Its been great! Totimoshi are all really great guys and Page and Toshi couldn't be cooler to work with. I've been snapping some pictures which I'll post soon, as well as some other pictures from my recent sessions with The Bloody Heads. The Nine Even record is about 5/8 mixed and we've got another couple of days sched. to get more done. Feb. and March are looking like they'll be busy months with Billy Anderson bring in some sessions as well as Form & Fate doing a tour and going down to play at SXSW which should be lots of fun!

Been awhile since an update but I hope everyone is having a good new year. December got a little slow due to the holidays, but I was kept pretty busy due to family going to disney land and the like. Even managed to get a couple of sessions in. Did some work with The Aimless Never Miss again and the new tracks are awesome, we're planning on finishing vocals for the 3 songs we tracked soon and then mixing. Also had a session with the band Desa out of Oakland who are doing a 3 song internet exclusive E.P. They were a fun bunch to hang out with and Ryan from American Steel (and the owner of Sharkbite) will be mixing the tracks. The Desa boys also made 3 videos of the recording session which are pretty silly. Good City Lie Still recently made a music video that is posted here. Also put in some new pictures in the picture session.

Heres to a great and busy year,

-Adam

So Evacuee posted their tracks up over at One2One3.com. They have got some pretty cool artwork/linking going on over there so you should check it out. Still haven't gotten around to posting the tracks or pics up, but I shall!

Hope everyone is having a good December,

-Adam
