Midday to Midnight

It’s been 3 weeks since we started recording the album and now only 3 days until we finish. It’s definitely been an experience of a lifetime, and speaking honestly, has been one of the biggest learning curves I think I’ve ever had. Ethan’s studio out the back of a trendy suburban compound of Silverlake LA, has become our nest for this project, where our songs, abilities and creative ego’s have been stretched, challenged, nurtured, crushed, rearranged and celebrated to create a catalogue of music which I’m believing the further we get along with it has become something really special. We have been working six days a week, 12 hours a day, midday to midnight, becoming very familiar with the #2 bus and the local coffee shops along the stretch between home and the studio. On our couple of days off that we’ve had, we’ve ventured out and had adventures. The beach, the shopping strips, the parks, the bars…. And how could I not mention the Mexican food that has become a regular feature in our daily diets. Before, after and in between the music making, there has been lots of skype, pay tv, wine, facebook, yoga, runs around the block and a band viewing session of Fleetwood Mac’s making of ‘Rumours’. Our touring party has now grown to 6 people in a two bedroom apartment, with our sound engineer & manager arriving in the last week making for fun times, dinners around the table and creative sleeping arrangements. It’s been a truckload lot of fun so far and not long til we hit the road for shows.
Until next week,
Beth
