The Album...Underway

For all of my readers interested in the Unsmokable Brokes, the album is progressing at a modest yet exciting rate.

This past weekend four drum tracks for the album were laid down. I am not talking about using a midi program to place-hold. With the assistance of a amazing drummer and friend, Josh, real recordings were put together that offer something no computer technology can match. The sound is raw and real. It is something that I think listeners will really enjoy when the album is finished.

I am working on getting some drum samples together so people can hear what it is like before they are mixed, but I can't make any promises. Everyone might have to wait until it is all packaged together. However, that goes against the transparency purpose of my blog, so I'm doing my best.

For now, just be reassured that progress is being made and all or any anticipation will pay off when it comes together.

Pittsburgh Electronic Musicians

Browsing the City Paper website, I came across an article about a University of Pittsburgh-based group of music enthusiasts known as Pittsburgh Electronic Musicians. The article isn't all that revealing of what the group is about, but apparently it's for individuals interested in recording and/or DJ-ing.

They also host free music events that feature mostly local musicians, from my understanding. The next one is tomorrow (today technically) at 10pm in the William Pitt Union. Check it out if you're feeling adventurous.

Thanks again to the City Paper for actually caring about what is going on here among local music enthusiasts.
