In Between Shows - Gonna Roll 'dem Bones

Fresh off their last show at the State Street Pub with Second Season and Calloused SHED has kept the pace and is still cranking on all fronts.  Kelley Bridgewater is still working his magic mixing tracks for the Summer Flannel album, Bobby Ingals and David Jones are throwing new tracks and riffs back and forth, and the guys in Calloused reached out to invite SHED up to South Bend to play a show up there.  SHED has accepted the invitation to come up north to rock with Calloused and will reciprocate by having Calloused down to Indy to play a show down here.  SHED hopes this will become a regular practice with Calloused as the two bands really hit it off.

On that note Calloused put on an amazing set at the State Street Pub.  When Calloused makes a return to Indianapolis to play with SHED make sure you mark it on your calendars. 

With Kelley mixing tracks like a madman SHED is also looking to their next as of yet unnamed album.  Bobby already has several first run tracks written and there is an immense catalogue of riffs and random material to draw inspiration from.  Things are moving quickly and the band will have little time to breathe between albums or shows.  SHED has hit a stride with band chemistry and it shows in the amount of material they are churning out.  Stay tuned for more incredible performances and new material.

 

Recording Wrap Up

The recording for Summer Flannel album wrapped on Friday just in time for the band to turn around a play a gig at the State Street Pub.  On the album and being mixed are:

   

    

    Empty Handed
    The Face you Wear
    Flush It
    Get it Right
    What Keeps you up at Night

   

Now that the bass lines are done the band will set their sights on determining what new material will be recorded on the next album.  Even though they have not come up with a name yet for the album after Summer Flannel  (Hey here's your chance to submit your suggestion for the album name!) the band is eager to get the recording process going again.  If your submission is chosen by the band you will receive a free autographed copy of the album, a SHED shirt, and four free tickets to a SHED show of your choosing.

Along with recording and writing the band is still adding material to the set list from their extensive catalogue of tracks assembled over the years.  Being back on a consistent rehearsal schedule should allow the band to add two to three new tracks to the set list each week.

Summer Flannel Recording Sessions

As mentioned in a previous post all that remains to be done for the Summer Flannel album is to record the bass lines and do the final mixing and mastering.  Various events have conspired from illnesses (remember that nasty virus making the rounds about a month ago?) to scheduling conflicts to slow down the process.  After what has seemed like an interminable eternity Kelley Bridgewater and David Jones have finally managed to carve out some time to get the bass lines recorded.

On the trip to Kelley's heavy fog began to roll in setting a surreal back drop for the evening's recording session.  It seemed fitting that the final bass tracks for Summer Flannel would emerge from the fog to take shape on a Wednesday evening.




Kelley and David had decided ahead of time to record three separate simultaneous signals in order to give themselves abroad range of choices to select from when mixing and mastering.  As is standard practice they took a raw bass signal but also used David's MXR M87 Bass Compressor for track one.  The second track was a full wet signal from the pedal board running into a Bugera Veyron BV1001M where the bass head's DI was utilized in the pre as opposed to the post position.  The last track was the full pedal board into the Bugera Veyron connected to a Mesa/Boogie Subway 112 mic'd in an isolation booth.

Full Tilt Show Preparation

Now officially inside the show preparation window the band is intensely focused on every aspect of the performance.  The band is adding new material to the set list from the band's existing catalog of material with the goal of having several hours' worth of music available for any live situation.  Last week's rehearsal was focused on getting the new songs added into the set list.

Look to see Tunnel Vision, Jack the Ripper, Middle Ground, and The Fallen make their return to the regular rotation of songs at the State Street Pub on February 16th.  Tomorrow's rehearsal will include a full run through of the set list along with the new songs.  The order of the set-list will be determined tomorrow as well.

Speaking of shows did you get the State Street Pub show marked on your schedule?  This is going to be a heck of a show that you won't want to miss.  Check it out below or HERE at this LINK.
