Studio

We had a great time at PWOP Studios tracking with Brandon yesterday! We are very pleased with the way "Nothing Cool" is sounding! Everything has been tracked and the next step is mixing by PWOP's master mind, Carl Franklin. We are very excited to hear what the final mix will sound like!

We've been informed that some of the bands doing songs for the Reducers tribute record have been shooting video clips of their recording process, which will be featured in a film piece by Bill Dumas, (who produced/directed the feature music documentary, The Reducers: America's Best Unsigned Band in 2006). We shot a few short video clips ourselves yesterday, and will be submitting them to Bill for use in his film! Hopefully he'll be able to use what we shot! 

We've heard that the tribute record is slated for release close to or on labor day weekend. We'll post more info when we find out for sure what all the details will be!

Nothing Cool...

Tomorrow we'll be heading into the studio to record The Reducers song "Nothing Cool" which will be part of a tribute album coming out in the near future. The Reducers tribute record will feature many bands from the past and present (and near and far!), and is being organized by musician Jes Farnsworth, a family member of Steve Kaika's who lives in California.

We'll be recording our track at Carl Franklin's beautiful studio, PWOP Studios, which is located right here in New London. In fact, The Reducers have recorded tracks there before so we figured it's a perfect fit! We've been working hard on our version of the song and we hope we do The Reducers proud.

Remembering Steve

As most of you may have heard, our good friend Steve Kaika of the New London band The Reducers, passed away on Tuesday June 12 after a courageous battle with cancer. The whole town came together last Friday night in celebration of Steve and also to help raise money for his family to assist with medical bills. We were absolutely proud and honored to have been a part of it. We played just a  few songs in between the likes of Dogbite, The Original Sinners, The Rivergods and Ken Atkins & The Honky Tonk Kind, along with many other special guests. What an absolutely amazing night.

 

 

 

 The next night, (Saturday June 16), we played with our new friends The Throttles (from RI) at 33 on Golden Street. What another fantastic night! We are in the process of recording the song "Nothing Cool" by The Reducers for a tribute album which is being organized/produced by musician and family member of Steve's, Jes Farnsworth, who lives in California. We met Jes on Friday night at Steve's benefit and asked him to come up with us to perform "Nothing Cool" during our set Saturday night! Luckily, the lovely Dawn Jalet Trombley (who was in attendance with her husband, Reducers' drummer Tom Trombley), managed to catch the song on her phone! (Thanks Dawn!)
