Well Well Well. The last gig of the year is fast approaching!
DECEMBER 17th Miami Shark Bar Gold Coast Australia.
Doors 8pm FREE ENTRY!
We are opening the show at 8.30 PM followed by A Bid Farewell, Sending Artax and The Passenger headlining the show.
Also there are a couple of more gigs coming up in January 2011 as we kick off the year with a bang
Jan 8th Shed 5 Gold Coast (All ages gig)
Jan 13th The Globe Brisbane.
The Cilikis Progressio Project has been recording (well RE-recording)
The drums have been completed for 10 out of the 11 tracks plus about 3 tracks have had the guitars and bass work done for them.
There is still plenty (and i mean PLENTY) to do for the tracking so this process is far from over but never the less the mixes are sounding fat as you can get. Very impressed for recording this ourselves.
The guitar solos and harmonising will be done at a later date when time permits of course, plus still debating weather or not to use the rather large sounding small fella, the Orange Dual Terror, for a little amplifier, it has a tonne of nuts and grunt with its tone. The Marshall DSL will still be the amp of choice for the rhythm guitars as nothing (and i mean NOTHING) compares to that raw voice Rock ‘n Roll.
My custom guitar effects have been used for some recordings so far and sound fantastic! I used my custom compressor on the weekend to record this funk’ish/rock/country’ish/disco/70s stick movie style song.
Its a mishmash of Paul Gilbert meets Isaac Hayes meets Satriani meets Stevie Wonder meets Brad Paisley meets “Yes” type of song that sounds like it will raise a few eyebrows and definitely shows the versatility and creativity of the boys. Being instrumental means having to come up with alot more musically creative means in which to keep the listener interested and this track will definitely do that. Ive been listening to the desk mix in the car and cant help bop along as im driving with all these ideas going off in my head for melodies and leads etc.
Schools out!
My teaching finishes this week for the year until February next year so I am available for private guitar lessons if anyone is interested. Its $40 for a 45 minute lesson (generally 45 minutes is plenty of time depending on the student and what they want). So if you are keen, buzz me!

Our MySpace does not get used that much thanks to Fairfax media turning it into an unusable circus of advertising, poorly coded Flash and Dynamic HTML coding and flogging big name artists (you know the ones that should be sweeping the red carpet rather than be standing on it?)
