It's finally happening.
September 15th Energy heads into The Outpost to record our 8 song Ep for Rock Vegas Records until September 18th.
So many great bands have recorded there before us:
Dropkick Murphys
Unseen
Blood For Blood
Lars From Rancid has done vocal tracks there
Earth Crisis
Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Circle Jerks
American Nightmare
Reach The Sky
Slapshot
Darkbuster
the list goes on
ever since i was a little kid first getting into bands like Operation Ivy and The Misfits, i've dreamt about being there while some huge record is being made, (knowing i would never record there myself).
i'd walk by there all the time looking down the driveway hoping to see someone in a cool band walking around outside, and maybe just maybe they'd let me in and watch.
Yesterday I handed Jim Seigel a rough basement recording of our 8 songs we're going to record with him and talked with him for a bit about stuff, he showed me around the studio in and out of all the booths and he gave me the recording dates.
It was surreal, i still can't really beleive i'm recording there. i know it seems that i make things out to be way more big of a deal than they are, but this is really important to me. that was always a seemingly improbable personal goal of mine, to one day record at the outpost. and it's finally happening. i can't wait for whichever day it is between sept 15 adn 18th that i get to call up all my friends across the street at al's house and have them come over and do gang vocals in the best recording studio in the world for MY band. i hate to sound cheesy but...This is truly a dream come true.
