Evenin.
So, got up pretty early to be at the studio for 9 and book out some more time, looks like someone beat us to it for thursday.
Nevermind.
Right, so yes, well, it was pretty good fun, Joe put a new skin on his kick so it sounded phat phat phat and Andy had bought this new audix kick mic which destroys. So that was nice, used a couple of Neuman/Neumonn/Neuman? tiny little mic things for overheads which are amazing, like smarties but with all the additives and colour changing ingredients.
Got some pictures and some video. Managed to get two drum tracks done for two new song demo’s and one drum track for my spanish/jazz thingy which was good. Ran out of time for guitars though, so will be doing them with vocals on wednesday, will put up some pics and news from that when all that happens.
This is the first time we’ve recorded anything with Protools and its all sounding good, not too sure about the sequencer…hmmm.
We all can’t wait to have the demo’s finished and show you what we’ve been up to under artificial light.
Right, some pics and vid’s…

Gig wise we’re playing our first gig of 2009 at Mansion in Scarborough on Wednesday 28th January, we’ve never played there before and have had some pretty interesting experiences ‘clubbing’ there, very bizzare indeed but should be good fun, gunna be playing the songs we’re now recording so come down if your in the Scarb.
Our easter tour, which doesn’t actually stretch over easter but has a nice ring to it i think, is nearly all booked, still looking for a northen show on Thursday 26th March though, anyone interested in putting us on send us a message on our myspace or email band at mum locked in castle dot com .
We’ve also asked Sonny Kay who did our EP artwork to design us a poster so we can put it in some zines, but mainly so we can get some printed up to put round our house, it should be a guddan, o yes. He’s got some print for sale on his website…
