On Saturday, June 16th we headed to J.A. Castle Recording Studio and tracked for our EP for 10 hours. Most of the time that we were there Joey was on call at his day job. He was NOT happy that he couldn't be there, but it all worked out just fine.
On Monday we tracked 5 hours from 7pm to Midnight. That night, at around 10:30pm, Dixon texted to find out if we were available to open the Emphatic and Crossfade show along with The Black Lockets on Tuesday at The Lost Horizon. Are you kidding? Of course we were! The show totally kicked ass and the guys from Emphatic and Crossfade were a fantastic group of people. We'd like to thank 95X, as well, for all of their support.
Wednesday we went back to Castle for another 5 hours to wrap up the 4 songs we're putting on the EP.
Thursday we had the privilege and honor of opening the show for Skippyfest, our friend Dave McCormick's private 50th birthday bash at Fusion. We always love sharing the stage with Professional Victims and Brand New Sin. The show came complete with the hysterical Roasting of Dave throughout the night between sets done by several of his favorite co-workers. Here's a shot of Dave with Joey and Nate.
On Saturday we played a private Graduation Party for Ryan Lonkey, who's parents have been HUGE supporters of the band since long before we were Just A Memory. Congratulations, Ryan! On to bigger and better things for you.
Sunday we hit SubCat Music Studios in the Red House Arts Center complex in Downtown Syracuse to start mixing the EP. 4 hours there gave us a rough mix of Battlefield. We have some tweaking to do then we'll move on to the other songs. We should have them completely mixed by Friday of this week.
Make sure you catch us in Watertown at Fatboys on Saturday July 2 with Professional Victims and on Friday July 8th at Station 58 in Syracuse for our East Coast Havoc tour Kick-off party.
