Day 5

Right, I’ve been tasked with writing the blog this time so I’m afraid it will be neither funny nor interesting, so ‘strap in’.

We rocked up to the studio on Wednesday morning a little later than normal, which was nice, cause Romesh was in rhythm heaven sorting the last of the bass tracking, only to discover that Rob had gone to town on a Riesen and cracked a tooth. This ‘misdemeanour’ led to a thoroughly exciting trip to the dentist, which was followed by an equally riveting trip to the hospital for Romesh following some bizarre eye problem he obtained overnight.

Once these trips had been completed and all was well once again, a suitable guitar tone was decided upon and Ali and Dan ‘went to work’.

Obviously I lent a hand again cause Ali wasn’t quite up to the task.

The guys got 1 song cleared up by the end of the day and as a ‘reward’ we all went off on a date, Rob & Romesh included, to a curry house and indulged ourselves as required.

Day 6

Back to normal today, in the studio all day tracking guitars and managed to finish off a further 2 songs (pretty much) by the end of the day which was good – its definitely starting to come together now so the boys are all pretty excited as a result.

Thats all you get for this day – nothing more, nothing less (only love).

Day 7

Early start today as we had a photo shoot in Cardiff at 7:30 this morning with Tom Barnes who has some serious length about him. The early start was entirely my fault cause I rinsed it last Sunday with my SARS when the shoot was originally scheduled for and the guys were nice enough to give me as much time as possible to try and recover before a camera was stuck in my face – I still look like Skeletor though.

We covered a couple of aspects in the photo shoot, both of which went well, and everyone seemed pretty stoked with the results so we will see how everything turns out when the initial copies get sent over to us tomorrow.

Despite this significant addition to our day we still made it to the studio to continue tracking. Finished the rhythm tracks for another song, and Ali has banged out, and finished, some vocals to a track as well so it’s all plodding along pretty nicely.

That’s pretty much it as things stand just now, I just bought a book from ASDA as Ive read all the ones I brought down – my time here is incredibly exciting just now cause ive sewn all my stuff up already but ill hunker down and get ‘book happy’ I reckon.
