Well, last night Dustin and I got together with "the band" - that is to say Marcus on the skins and another way back/high school pal, Dave Auvil, on bass. It was a lot of fun to go through the songs for this first album with a full band, and both Marcus and Dave brought some insights and flavors that gave each tune new possibilities, throwing out suggestions for auxiliary instruments and helping us tighten up a few loose corners.
Though the intent of this get together was to flesh out the songs for recording purposes, hearing everything with fuller arrangements really opened up the possibilities for maybe getting these songs up on a stage.
Dave has offered to record us at his home studio and we're heavily leaning towards this option right now. If this is the route we take, we should be laying down tracks in a couple of weeks with completion...well, as soon as possible.
Of course like a dummy I didn't get any pix or AV, but let me tell you - it was legendary.
