Video Recording Diary #3 + Song Preview

Hey boys and girls, below is another behind-the-scenes look at what I've been working on in the studio lately. Watch 'til the end to hear a sample of one of the songs.

Projected Release Date

I can't specify an exact date, but a realistic window is some time in July/August. Since this date is later than originally expected, I will be giving you guys some bonus content to hold you over (free songs from upcoming videos, B-Sides I'm not using for the album, one of the songs off the upcoming album, etc.). You guys are being so patient and I'm thankful for that!

Stay sexy,

Chad

So it's April and there's no Album yet...

Where's this "Album" CHAD?!

Hey dudes, so as listed on the original Kickstarter project, the album was projected to be done by March of 2013.  Here we are, April 2nd, and an album is not blasting your ears out.  This was a projected finish date, however, due to scheduling conflicts, having a real job, and having no idea what it's like to produce a full-length album, I am pushing the release date to Summer 2013.  I've been recording and tweeking a whole bunch and have 8 completed tracks.  Still got about 3-4 to go, but I'm really proud of what I have so far.

Album Preview

If you want to hear me perform some upcoming tracks off the album to hold you over, this Thursday is your chance!  I'm doing another live online show through stageit.com at 5pm PST.  The last ones we're a bunch of fun and this time around I plan on writing a song together.  It'll be nothing like anything you've ever seen or heard, mainly because it hasn't been written yet, but still.  Get your 'Pay What You Can' Ticket by clicking here.

Offpring Mashup

Just dropped yesterday.  Enjoy :O

Thanks for all your support, see ya later!

2 Live Stageit Shows this Thursday!

Update #11 · Feb 19, 2013 · 1 comment

Hey everyone!  Been a while since I updated you guys, but I've been busy writing and finessing the next couple tracks for the album.  Since the guy I record with also has a job working sound on CSI, I haven't been recording lately due to his busy schedule, but I'm getting back in the studio this weekend!

In other news, this Thursday, February 21st, I'm playing 2 LIVE shows ONLINE!  I'm doing 2 to give everyone the option to choose based on busy schedules and timezone differences.  The show times are as follows:

12pm Pacific Standard Time

&

6pm Pacific Standard Time

If the internet and technology scares you, watch this instructional video below that I made to help you sign up at stageit.com and see the shows.  It's really easy, and I'm allowing everyone to pay what they can for a ticket* (minimum 10 cents).  I'll be taking any and all requests + previewing most of the album!

*If you donated $50 or more, hit me up and I'll give you a VIP password so you don't have to pay.

See ya at the show!

Recording Diary #2

Update #10 · Jan 16, 2013 · comment

Days 3, 4, and 5

Hey peeps, I've been doing a lot of recording lately and it's sounding pretty tasty if I do say so myself. Hear a couple morsels in Recording Diary #2 below. If you watch till the end, you'll be treated to the first 30 seconds of the raw, unmixed version of my song "John McClane." If you don't know what movie that name is from, click here, get educated, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Toodles,

Chad

Happy Holidays dear backers!

Hope you're all having a wonderful everything everybody!  Holidays have been great and I've been completely lazy for a week straight.  However, that laziness has lead to broken promises and procrastination on my part...

I know.  I said I'd get these songs to everyone by Christmas and I failed.  It's 100% my fault for making a promise I thought I could deliver and feel like a flake for breaking it.  Forgive me?  It's literally a case of just sitting down and doing it all.  I return to LA from Colorado next week when I will promptly get these rewards out once and for all.  If I don't, then you have every right to message me here, email, facebook, twitter, or even complain to kickstarter because at this point there is not excuse.

Have a happy new year, and I look forward to getting everyone what you all deserve!

Lovesies,

Chad
