Stamps stories

Today we begin a couple days of recording at the Station House with Engineer Mark Rains.  We are very excited to see how nice our songs when recorded with more than 2 microphones and an Mbox.  We will hopefully have 5ish songs for you all to enjoy very soon.  Thank you for all the well wishes as we push off onto our maiden voyage of rock and or roll.  We will be updating you via twitter from the studio. 

Get Ready for some shows in Oct. and Nov. and if you have any suggestions on who you’d like to see us play with, give us all the information about the band.  Make sure these bands are not good at all.  These are self esteem boosting shows.  The worse, the better.  If these bands have broken bones and missing band members, this is a plus.  If they have broken instruments and are missing their mothers… this is also a good thing…

talk soon, (from the studio)

Stamps.


Studio update #6002…

Adam, Ren and Adam K. are with me in this warm and cozy wooden studio.  We are listening to a few of the takes we did back at the Station House with Mark (november) Rains.  I’m amazed at how different this is from TRAMPS by STAMPS and I can’t tell you how excited we all are for you to hear these bad boys. 

The names of the songs:

Bed 4 2
When Ya Gonna Come Back (home)
Long Distance Luva
Brooklyn Grey or Gray… whichever you prefer.
365
In My Head

I have two sing 2 songs left to sing still.  One is called “when ya gonna come back” and the other is called “long distance lover.”  The later is a song I wrote in the midst of the great confusion which was one of the last tours with Hush.  It’s changed a bit since I wrote it originally, but the meat of it is the same.  “When ya gonna come back” was the last song to come together for this album and I think it’s one of my favorites ever in the history of the world.

The new members of the gang arrive on March 1st to commence the readying for SXSW, which we cannot wait for.  We will surely play as many of these new songs as we possibly can.  We will also post some new songs soon.

toodles,

STAMPS (your band)

PS. there are only a few days left of our kickstarter… make sure you help out if you can.  See ya soon!!!
