I'm doing bar back work at this rock club. It's pretty much the best rock club in westchester since all the other ones are holes in the wall. My recording engineer runs it and hired me to work weekends. The good thing about it is I never have to have an excuse for not working because I have to record because my boss is the one doing the recording lol. Also, I get to see a lot of different cool cover bands(and shitty original bands) and when we book a show I can book it right there in the club and we know our sound will be really good since he'll be doing our sound those nights too
The cd probably won't be done until late February or early March. It COULD be sooner but I'm being realistic. We're doing 12 songs, we started in October and we still have about 3 or 4 nights left for guitars and then we're going to need at least 5 nights for vocals. We get in 1 - 2 times a week so you have to figure that'll be about 6 more weeks at least right there. Then we have to mix and edit which will take about another 3 - 4 sessions. So the recording itself estimately won't be done til the beginning of MArch. Then we get it mastered which would basically get done inside of one week. Then we have to ship it out and get the copies back which probably won't be til early April. My whole band thinks it's going to be done so much sooner but they're not doing the math. So I'm guessing I won't have a real cd wrapped up in a jewel case with the booklet and the whole 9 yards for about another 3 months. However, I'm getting a copy of 2 rough mixes tomorrow night of songs that are fully recorded but not the final mix. We finished guitars and vocals to 2 of them to see where we were at with the overall production. The rough mix sounds almost ready to be mastered so it'll definitely get the point across if I post the songs up here. As the weeks go by I'll be posting a song up here and there but like I said the cd probably won't be in my hands until April. Then we'll have our cd release party at the place I'm working at and we're renting out the VIP room in the back and getting a buffet. I don't even think we'll be paying for the room since we're the club manager's project and his friends(and now I'm an employee). We have to pay for everything else though like the buffet, champagne and I even think we're going to get some strippers. So it'll be good! lol
And YES, kids suck dick man. I used to pick on kids weaker than me almost to balance out what the "tougher" kids put me through. When I was about to graduate highschool I started being really nice to the kids I picked on because I felt bad that I let my insecurity affect theirs.
