So, Thursday night was another studio night.
I got there pretty late, around 10:30pm. We didn't really do much. We listened to how Suz's, another sound engineer, work-in-progress mix of our EP sounded, and then jammed. After playing guitar and drums, I realized I was pretty tired and pretty much called it a night on a futon. I woke up around 8 am to find Con asleep on the couch in the studio and Jonny asleep on the couch in the waiting area.
So, I left and went to my gym. I did deadlifts.
Take care.
A couple of quotes from the night:
Jonny: Con.
Con: That's not my name.
Stan to Con: (after telling him that I can't tell him what to do and what not to do) Luke, I'm not your father.

What did we do on Monday, March 26?
Hello, people! Here's a quick recap of what happened last Monday.
The outtakes are pretty funny and include Jonny playing out-of-tune guitar, a glass of water getting knocked down as we get up, and other funny screw ups.
Aside making that little video, we worked a little more on Springboard, which is pretty close to being done, and jammed.
Marv came by later on, and he, Jonny and I played a song that Marv's been working on. The goal is to perform it live at one of Marv's Fire Your Boss shows.
Another studio night coming up. I'm going to try to get some deadlifts in before going there. By the way, if you need a personal trainer, let me know. I might know somebody. ;)
Take care.
Guests: Marv (.4) and Ethan

Monday, 3/19/12
Well after it took 3 days for me to learn how to operate a computer, here is the first blog from the lady of the band.
It is now Thursday and as Con and Honzo enjoy an Arctic Monkeys/Black Keys show (love to Doc to pulling a Hail Mary), I will share my thoughts on the past session (and a half).
Monday, as Con and I dubiously counted our caloric intake of liquor, we tackled "Follow me" for what we thought would be the last time. We got some nice takes on "the song that's never finished." Also, remember that set we used to play live? Yea, we decided it might be time to play the set again live. It went well, and we succeeded in also running through the EP. All in all, a productive evening. As per usual, guest appearance from Marv.
Today (Thursday) I walked my happy ass over the Williamsburg bridge, up Alphabet City, to the studio to listen to what we have so far. Of course, we decided that perhaps we should try "Follow Me" yet another way and make "A Little in Love" a duet. With 5 minutes remaining to get to the show, we recorded the vocals. The boys are due back in about 2 hours, Stan the Man just got here, and for the love of (insert whatever/whomever you pray to here), lets finish these songs!
Guests/Highlights:
Marv
Ethan (thank you for eating McDonald's in front of me)
peace,

arctic keys studio night
So as much as I hate blogging, 1MA is gonna see where this takes us. Who knows, maybe it'll be fun reading them all back some day far away. But for now, we are all gonna take turns "recapping" our studio nights, I guess starting with yours truly.
Monday..MArch 12, 2012 "The Arctic Keys studio night"
Ya, missed the Black Keys/Arctic Monkeys show at the Garden. But to be honest, we had as good a time, if not better, jamming at the studio. (march 22nd, we'll be at their show)
We took the Thursday off before, so we were all eager to get in the studio. Which basically means, the booze flowed all night, and we had extra energy. We left around 730 am. But nothing unusual about that.
our goal for the night, finish the "Springboard" EP. Mission failed. But what we did accomplish: jonny vocals on Growing Up: irritating Laura cause we made her wait too long to finish her vocals: recording a pretty tough sounding Stan guitar lick (more on that later):
learning the Jonny doesnt get close to taking in 2000 calories a day: also learning that Con was growing his bangs out: and deciding that Honzo is indecisive.
We had an idea to write a Battle Song a week earlier, and using Stans guitar track, we got that started. And its pretty badass. I havent stopped listening to it. We're going to finish it up and put it on our "Seriously...whats wrong" full length album, coming out Mid 2012.
We worked on that till about 6am, and then after some serious peer pressure, Con was convinced to jam for a while. Why not, the sun was already up, and were destined to go home while the morning rush went to work. Always a crazy trip.
Guests that night; Fabio, Rocco, and Kate Forte.
Funniest shit of the night; definitely Cons bangs, tied with Jonny behind the mic saying "yup"
Quote for The Book Of Stan; none that i can remember.
Most sober; Stan, and I think Laura might have been dry!!!!!!!!
Most fucked up; 3 way tie..Con, Honzo, and Jonny
Musical moment of the night; Stans guitar lick, and the last 5 minutes of our 7am jam.
Good luck to the rest of my bandmates, im cleared from doing this for 2 more weeks!!!

the SEXIEST people you'll ever meet!
Presenting the all star roster of 1 more animal. Starting off the count with this straightedge, Kickyourass in a heartbeat but take care at the end of a phone call, STAN! - main drummer, amazing bass player, guitar and the diversity continues, 2nd on the lineup we have none other than the talented, beautiful, Ms, Laura McCarthy. Can you say classically trained with a huge slab of RAW FUCKING ATTITUDE. The voice speaks for itself. When you find yourself indulged and you can't get enough you'll know your listening to the amazing vocal styles of the In Your Face, melodically dreamy vocals that is Laura and is 1ma. 3rd on our Roster we have, Mr. Jonnykt. Main instrument lead guitar, this guy can make a guitar cry like never before, strongly zep,pearl jam,jimi hendrix, and floyd influenced, the bands youngest member and shows great promise. also undertakes the bass, drums and vocals are coming together smoothly. The next member of the band is the Founder! the whole reason to the backstory that IS 1 more animal. No other than Con. Con is the backbone of 1 more animal, plays any instrument needed in any song, produces, writes, pitches some of the most ingenious creative pitches you'd never think of hearing. With plenty of other bands under his belt and over 30 years of music productivity under his belt it's sure one hell of a roundup crew with this band. The last and final member of the band, Recently added is Honzo. The ambietic adds to the band have been replenished again and again by this tasteful 19 year olds creative juices. Known over a long relationship with other member Jonny kt, after a few jam sessions and overall fill advices on songs, 1 more animal could not deny the connection to there 5th member and it has been an ever joyous experience since then. Remember guys, you can check out our first album, titled : Boys N' Girls available for free download at 1moreanimal.com and we are currently underway with our ep and 2nd album release. Keep in tune for info on shows and keep at our blog for more posts on our studio nights, and more, out here from the bunker we are 1ma.
