Hive Bent: weekend edition

Thursday night, Dan came up to do some work on the new Lotus Fucker 7". Good times were had.

Friday night, Kyle and Steph came up to load in for the Hive Bent session today. We set up gear and placed some mics, but mostly talked shit about The Slender Man.

In between, I mastered Matt Beale's demo.

Right now, we're setting levels and tuning drums.

1:56pm
Well that didn't take long. Turns out we made all the right mic and placement choices....drums are sounding Albinilicious!

3:46pm
Kyle did a few solo takes of the most difficult song. There's one we like, but we'll try again once Steph gets here.

5pm
We're well into takes with Steph and Kyle. Steph's amp was too brutal for the neighbors at first, and we had a visit from The Phantom Of The Mixing Board, but now it's full steam ahead.

Post-Mortem:
The drums sound a lot like a certain Jesus Lizard album, and the guitar is vicious. We're all pretty stoked on these rough mixes.
