Tim Blood Recording Vol. 2

Eye by controlforce

Drums are done.

Emmy helped with trumpet. It sounds great.

Figuring it out. Problem solving. Friendly.

Tim Blood Recording

So we're 8 drums tracks into our album.

We decided to record drums in our front room

We called in favors and got some nice mics this time.
We took a couple days to get everything set up and sounding how we wanted. This has been the most laid back recording yet.

If all goes to plan we'll start recording some guitar this weekend. And also some horns for one song. So it'll probably be out in May sometime.

I'm not gonna go into detail about the setup but if you want to know leave a comment and I'd be happy to explain.

Tim Blood is here and live

Here's an unedited recording of Tim Gut and the Bloodhawks from December '09. It was our last recording before a 4 month hiatus. I remember it was at the Animal Hospital and that there were a ton of people upstairs while we played because they thought we were practicing. I think we played very tough.

Also we started recording THE NEW ALBUM! and stuff. You know. Cool. See ya!

Cat Massacre & VIPE in Caldwell

Check out another vid. Cat Massacre totally rips it up and we play probably our best show. Big thanks to Robbie for filming this (and everything around Boise).

Tim Blood & the Bloomsday Fanatics

Tim Blood is playing Bloomsday this year!! It looks like we'll be at Government Way and G Street. More info when we get it.

VIPE Vids from Tacoma

We played at the Nem Esis House in Tacoma. It was a really last minute show but it worked out really well. I just found these videos of us on their youtube page. They're pretty dark but fun:

Our cover of Mai by Indigesti

And one of our own. It sounds kinda fucky at the end. Gnarly!

We might have some live recordings of different bands up in the next couple weeks. VIPE's recording is almost there. Tim Blood will start this Sunday. Also, I just found out we might be helping our friends Strychnine record this summer. Pretty excited for that.

And to anyone in Boise, Shreds O'Brien and I are gonna be there to see Lightning Bolt this Friday. Maybe see you there!

R-R-R-R REEEMIX!

Rhythmmemory would like to invite all interested parties to remix two of our traxxx (get it, like sex and tracks, isn't that funny? hasn't it not been done before? please love me?). The two tracks are off of our recent record It'll all be over soon. Here they are...

Crunch Attack

VIPE for real for real day 2

We finished bass and guitar yesterday. Everyone is very excited. This is the first recording in years where we've given ourself the time to take our time, but everything is still going quickly. I think all the rushed recording we've done this year have payed off. It's just gonna take longer to mixmaster than usual. It's nice to kinda know what you're doing.

Here's a pic of the guitar setup:

We put the wide EV mic on bottom and the Nady on top. We also tried putting the other EV farther back but it didn't sound good . We didn't end up using the room mic for bass either. I don't think we know how to place them and our living room is really still sounding so it just sounds shitty and indistinct and muddies up the sound.

We did two tracks of guitar for each song panned left and right. I used to think that was cheating but then i realized recording is cheating and that's the best way to sound good.

Also, it took me years but here's the key to killer distortion, at least on the Sunn Concert Lead:

So now it's just vocals and then getting everything to sound right. It looks like this will be out in May sometime maybe on tape, but I'll put up a track when it all comes together.

Next up is Tim Blood which this recording is kind of a trial run for. Expect new recordings every month till the end of summer. My plan is to stop writing new songs and have every song that we've written recorded by my birthday in August.

Also, really looking forward to recording Cat Massacre, Downsided and maybe more in the coming month. If anyone else wants help recording get in touch and maybe we could do it.
