This past weekend was a busy weekend for Scarce, hence the delay in my writing. We were back in the studio tracking the last of the main guitar tracks. For most of the record Chick has rediscovered using his old Les Paul Goldtop which he hasn't played in years. Chick channelled a little Alex Chilton, TREX, Westerberg, and oh yeah Chick too, with his slide. The songs are getting nice and layered but we still have a decent amount of tracking to do with vocals, lead guitars, and the maybe some keyboard from me. Chick would like all of you to imagine me in a bat cape when you listen. He says I get so serious when I play I look like I am in one of those b horror movies. If any of you have copies of Ocean Blue that is me playing the keyboards on that one, so you can have a good laugh when you listen.
Chris Cugini has been a star at the board and adding some nice suggestions for guitar parts and vocal ideas. His rock and roll/pop sensibilities and calmness have made this recording session so wonderful. We are so lucky to have a talented friend in our lives, and you can hear that on the record too. It has been one big family making this record. We literally take over Chris's whole house when we record there, and there is wood everywhere so the sounds are amazing.
Sally Irvine was also here from London to spend some time filming the three of us for the Scarce documentary. We reminisced about where we all started, where we been, and where we are going. We are most excited about where we are going-the new record and the documentary. Sally is beginning to organize a wonderful tour for us and the documentary in the fall in the UK. The cities for the tour being tossed around are London, Brighton, Nottingham, Manchester, and Glasgcow- cross our fingers we will make them all. We will post everything as soon as we confirm.
UK calling, can't wait...
