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!!!
