Los Anegeles Baby!

So we touched down in Los Angeles just over a week ago to begin recording album #2 with producer Ethan Allan. Two months of recording and touring around the States is what we have ahead of us and I couldn’t feel more lucky, excited and anxious than I do as we speak. We began writing and demoing months ago and rehearsing our pants off whenever we could so we could be in tip top condition for when the record button was hit. After one day off after touchdown, filled with supermarket shopping, getting our bearings around our bright aqua colored apartment base in Silverlake and a visit to Guitar Centre (the biggest music shop in the world) to stock up on supplies for the month ahead, we plunged into five days of live tracking as a band at Red Star Studios, running on little sleep and intense jet lag. Our producer Ethan and engineer for the week, Jim Watts, were truly fantastic. Apart from their great skill in producing records, gee did they make sure we ate well – taking us to all the cool cafes and restaurants that line the streets of Silverlake day after day – quite a trendy neighborhood of LA we’re discovering.

So we have set up camp here for the next few weeks in a city that is so unknown to all of us – who knows what could happen. What I do know though is that this is an album which I am so proud of already and can’t wait to share.

Stay tuned..
