Day 7
And on the 7th day, God rested. What’s his problem? Londons Falling needed a 7th day to finish the tracks to the new album. And that’s EXACTLY what we did. Cheebs and I entered the studio on a morning where Kevy Hallous was still recovering from the repercussions upon the copious amounts of sweet tea vodka ingested. (I think I just spoke in 3rd person). On our agenda: re-do a couple of Cheebs solos, finish the back-up vocals, and record some clean guitar tracks so that our depleting fan base can hear that we actually tried to play guitar on this one.
It’s difficult to decipher how the morning transpired. There were a lot of ins and outs between Cheebs and me in the recording area of the studio. He would be recording a song, and then I would step in and record a little track here and there. Cheebs redid the solos to Ad Hominem and the apocalyptical solo in God in Uniform. The solos were definitely shredding as his fingers were performing like a searing white hot calamity of life changing events. I almost sobered up.
The back-ups vocals were a breeze as opposed to Day 6. I actually practiced them a little bit more so that I wasn’t walking into an uncomfortable moment. Kind of like the moment in Day 6. A couple of hoo-hoo’s, hee-hee’s and ho-ho’s and I was done shitting myself, now it was time for the back-ups (j/k, I was done with the back-ups).
When Jim said, “Is that it?”, my ears began to rise on the side of my head as a leering, demonic grin, fangs bearing, began to grow on my face, yet it was quickly extinguished as Cheebs said, “Wait, I have to do this one part.: Then, after Cheebs did whatever it was that he had to do, Jim asked again, “Are we done now?” Cheebs and I looked at each other with satisfaction that the tracks were complete. Then Cheebs popped a Mentos in his mouth.
So, the tracks are currently off on their magical mystery tour with Jon Hasz as he’s whisking away on the soundboard like Mozart. So now, we can finally say, “The new Londons Falling album, Saturday Evening Underground, is coming soon!!!!” Fuck yeah!
Peace,
Kevy Hallous
