Recording weekend update - Album 4's taking shape

DIY month's proving a breathless affair! A break in the mini tour saw the band decamp to the bunker, for vocals, guitar overdubs and keyboards.., yes keyboards in The Scratch! Minus Super, who'd already done his part on the new recordings back in September. Andy, John, Steve and Grim settled in on Friday evening for a late one: on the agenda first were lead vocals, Desire to be Thin, kicked us off, followed by 88th day of rain, homely crackle, great adventure, down in the alleyway and a newer slightly slower let there be us... Steve and Grim added backing to the first 3 before curfew came down at 2.30am. Next morning bright and early, John and Grim were laying down bass intros, as Andy arrived, Grim then began adding his guitars, by the time Super arrived with cappuccinos all round, Steve had laid down most of his guitar parts too... then it was time for the keys... hinting without giving too much away, that album 4 may either be a return to the eclecticism of DIY or the chance to push into as yet unchartered waters... that'll be for you to find out ;-) x

See you all next Friday at 62's for what's looking very likely to be a memorable one!
