Merry Christmas! (Rise part 3)

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!! Thank you God for sending your only son! I am playing some Christmas songs today with the youth praise band at Newsong Church in Sylmar.

I knocked out all the vocals to "Rise" last Tuesday. Matt did some fine producing. (i.e. dude, that sounds bad, sing that line again. hehe) Next up: Brycerooni on the bass and then Matt Fuller with the finishing touches.

Believe it or not, my very first piece of U.S. press post AM Radio: http://www.examiner.com/los-feliz-in-los-angeles/sonic-sound-off-competition-day-4-recap

In October I start recording a few new tunes with my buddy Matt Corey at his new studio.

Sunfish Demo

Sun, 28 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -0700

We've been slowly recording a self produced 4 song demo over the course this year to try and capture the live energy of this band. Last month Vince shredded out all the lead guitars. And just yesterday Juan and I braved the 100 degree Norco weather to finish all the lead vocals. Next up: vocal harmonies, courtesy of Juan and Paul; then mixing and mastering.

At rehearsal afterwards, Vince busted us all staring at his incredible guitar solo for "Moonlit Night". We always do, but he never catches us. hehe

Up Up And Away Part 2

I got raw in the studio last night with Matt and Jim from Vinyl Candy, cutting all the vocals to "Up Up And Away". The song should be mixed and mastered by next weekend.

In other news... Juan, Paul, Vince and I have decided to call ourselves THE SUNFISH and have started filling up the spring/summer with shows. See Calendar.
