IN THE STUDIO.

Hey Everyone, it’s Marlene :)

Alicia and I just finished recording at the fabulous, Radius Recording, in Traverse City, MI. We’ve been working on the new All-Girl Boys Choir album – Electric. Our mission, 7 songs...3 days.


We arrived early on Thursday morning, after a 3-hour drive in 10 inches of snow (welcome to Michigan), met with our incredible engineer, Andy Van Guilder, set up quickly,and dove into a 12-hour session, without a break...or food!!


On the first day, we finished most of the guitars and bass...guitars (as everyone knows) are the most fun parts to record. With the combination of the very cool, enormous, open space at Radius and our Vox amps – we got some really great sounds.


Friday was another 12-hour session with Alicia pounding out the drum tracks in about an hour!! and vocals...the LEAST fun part. (neither of us are fans) and still no food. Why didn’t we stop for food????!

Saturday morning, we said goodbye to our wonderful hosts in Traverse City and headed in to the studio to finish up vocals and do some rough mixes of the songs. It felt great to relax for a minute and hear the ROCK come alive. Thanks to Joey Callahan (Radius), Andy & Brandi (Halohorn), Karen & Pete for your help.

ELECTRIC.

Greetings lovely people! Alicia here. Ok, ok...so, we've been horrible at updating our "blog" - we promise to start posting regularly from this day forward :) 


To catch you up to speed...Our 4-month, Never. Ending. Noise. Tour concluded in Las Cruces, NM in November. Instead of returning home to Los Angeles, we decided to head to the winter wonderland of Michigan to work on our new, full-length album. Marlene and I have been here for 4 months now, enjoying blizzards, rain, snow storms and most importantly...working hard to get new, rockin tunes to YOU.


In a couple of weeks, we are heading into the studio, to start tracking for our upcoming, independent release..."ELECTRIC". Super excited.  7-songs. Single and video coming soon. Album Release: August 2011!!!


Last year, we sold a ton of our belongings and bought an RV to stay on the road so - naturally - we will be seeing all of you again shortly. You can catch us on tour, July - September in the U.S.
