Update #10: Six Down, Four to Go

Posted on April 11, 2010

Hello all,

Today was our first real mixing session for "Another Family Dinner at the Saturn Residence Ends in Tears." By the end of it we all looked like zombies, the kitchen counter was more beer bottles than kitchen counter, and the entire thing was punctuated be lengthy discussion regarding the archaic art of heraldry (I'm not kidding). We also got six out of ten songs finished. Here's one of them. It's called "The Pauper Choir of San Jose, CA." We're pretty fond of it. We hope you might be too.

xoxo,
The SBBC

THANK YOU... NOW GET TO WORK Digital download/CD/booklet/thank you card. Plus you have an invitation to come up to the cabin on the last day of recording (Feb. 21st), hang out and enjoy a BBQ with us. Oh, and then we are going to put you to work. Many of our songs require handclapping and group vocals. If you’re up to it, you can be on the record as part of the handclap choir. (This would work best if you’re from the San Francisco Bay Area and have a mode of transportation other than a “fixie”.)

Is it a book club or a band? Is "folky latin dirge" a legitimate musical genre? Do they fancy themselves musicians, writers, or hacks? Are they serious or is this an elaborate joke? The answer to all questions is yes.
