brain slug did a radio set and interview with reed at crust never sleeps recently

it was a little wacky that day because the online station’s server went down, so for people to listen live they had to go through this sort of roundabout way of doing it

we were sort of trying to figure out whether or not we should bother doing it that night or not and we just decided that if we did it that it would air again through the newtownradio site the following week

so we got into the incredibly hot room and start setting up. i realize one of my cymbal stands isn’t in my bag. no idea where it is, but i had to go down stairs where main drag is surprisingly open. i had  to spend some cash on a new stand but the guy couldn’t even ring me up for some reason. fuckin annoying

the set was pretty tight and what not but apparently that cord that zeke, the sound guy, is holding was fucked up so drew’s vocals are practically non-existant. that sucked the big one cause it would’ve been cool to throw on a tape and put out in the streets. oh well, bad luck is bad luck

so after the brain slug mix tape of weird hip-hop, punk, hardcore and metal, and a live set we were then interviewed by reed. that was pretty hilarious because andre was out of his element. he must’ve said “swag” about 30 times just cause he had no idea what else to say. when we left me and drew felt pretty good about it, but these two were pretty weirded out. in the end it turned out fine, or even good i guess. not as bad as they thought at least. if anyone wants to peep it it’s right here

brain slug’s second session got underway a couple of weekends ago. i got there early around 11 and prepped. dre and crozier were supposed to pop up at around 12:30. crozier got there a little late and andre didn’t show until about 2:30 due to some car complications.

when this motherfucker finally turned up he brought all his gear downstairs and plugged it in. he that reached for his guitar to plug it into the gear and shouted “oh!” to which i replied “you forgot your guitar.” i was right of course. luckily cary dane tilton (who was moving out that day) was nice enough to lend us his. props cdt.

crozier’s first eshq experience. checking out a photo whilst being photographed.

we laid down all the frames in about 2 hours (pizza break excluded) 5 originals and a plethora of covers. andre banged out a second guitar tracks with no playbacks

drew showed up around 7 straight from work and was ready to put more work in. he nailed that shit right quick

crozier put his phone in the vice. you can’t see it in this pic, but he won the award for “punkest shirt” with a homestiched shirt to shirt method.

after all that we finished at about 11. hung with matt for a minute when he got home from work until about 1:30. got home at the ass crack. looong day but overall good to just bang it out like that.

kenzie hung with me the next day when i made some rough reference mixes. look out for the next release happening soon hopefully

these two randos were taken outside the last brain slug show. andres hiding from the camera actin like a little bitchass about the camera being out

and kiran made an appearance as well. good times. next one’s the 24th.
