Posted project update #7Vinyl Progress Report! (and a concert this week)
Post CommentHello Everyone,
Wow, so much is going on here! We've been making music all over LA. Here's a link to our LA Times Review from March: LA vs. Brooklyn: Competition or Love-fest?
The Vinyl progress is moving more slowly than we had anticipated! The record is in the mastering phase and will be at the printers late in May. There's so much learning that goes into doing something for the first time. We'll have this to you -- absolutely ASAP!
In the meantime, we've got a concert this week: Saturday May 12th at the Armory in Pasadena. We're playing Stravinsky's Soldier's Tale with Kurt Vonnegut's libretto, pieces about war and peace, influenced by Palestrina, and Slayer...among others.
Until then: onwards and upwards!
