Good morning! Have you washed your hands recently?
Since I planned on tracking vocals for the new CD last week, it would figure that I'd get sick. I guess I could have done a million takes; sounding like I had a clothespin on my nose, but I chose to put off tracking until this bug decides to clear up. Instead, I kept busy watching reruns of preseason football games, doing artwork, and scheming on other band stuff. :-)
I did get a bit of a vacation on Wednesday night when my good buddy Justin Reagin got me out of the studio to go to the Carnival of Madness show at the Murat in Indy. I spent some time talking shop with Emphatic in their dressing room, chatting with some of the Alter Bridge dudes backstage, and I witnessed Black Stone Cherry tear a hole in the sky. I had a blast at the show, but playing would've made it even more awesome!
Josh Hassett from O for 2 stopped by the studio over the weekend for a nice rock/recording chat. It's always great to see him! Our bands have been sharing stages since I was 16 and I've always admired his writing and guitar playing. Hopefully we'll catch up again soon!
I want to give my sponsor Artisan Electric some extra kudos for having an awesome week. It's pretty sweet for them to get a bump in the New York Times Blog and in the Lafayette Journal & Courier within 4 days. Keep up the good fight!
Looking forward, this week will be jam-packed. While finishing vocal tracks and artwork for the new CD, I'll be making time for guitar lessons, Lafayette Live, and IND biz (pushing Music Downloads, IND logo shirts, and 'Likes'). Additionally, I'll be keeping the band on track to be gigging in mid/late October. We still have a few more songs to learn before spending some time piecing the show together, but everything is going smoothly. It's going so smooth that I can start booking!
Out-of-town readers: I'd love to get some referrals on venues in your town. Please let me come to you! You can direct your tips through my Contact Page or Fan Page.
Also, if our schedules hold up, my old buddy Brandon 50/50 Reed (Insomniacs/50.6 Feet) is supposed to come collaborate on a new track this week too. That should be mega fun!
Thanks for stopping by!
Over and out.
This is the source for the inside scoop on Chris June IND; including writing, recording, performing, etc. You'll get more dirt here than tweets & status updates. Typically, new blog entries get posted every Monday and whenever something too interesting to not write about happens. I’ll try to keep my entries short-winded and light-hearted. Maybe I can make them funny. We’ll see.
