We'd love to! Probably not for another 8-9 months though, after we do a full length. Kind of limited on the distance we can travel at the moment.

Man, Laz. It didn't seem like it was that long ago that you had just moved to PA and was auditioning for your current band. Does time fly, or what? lol.

Now you guys have a well recieved EP, planning a full length, and talking about touring!

Lazarus.Bird · #**343** 11-30-2012, 07:57 AM

Yeah, things have been very smooth so far. I've been pretty lucky, in the sense that this band was extremely easy to put together and is composed of great musicians who I like to hang out with outside of band stuff!

Although I didn't audition, I had basically formed the band months before I moved to PA. They were just waiting for me to arrive

Touring will always be tricky for us. Drummer is almost 40, has 3 kids and is the man of the house. We'll never be the kind of band that can go on tour for more than a few days, which I'm perfectly fine with.

Pounding a HUGE coffee and cranking Boris - Heavy Rocks (original) on the headphones. Happy Friday!

I think it's a Dopesmoker kind of day for me. Work rig all set up, time to fire it up.

I'm really interested to try out one of the meatsmoke pre's, my only quarrel is that it doesnt have an XLR out, when making a preamp / DI that should be a no brainer to include.

The Spider gets really mixed reviews. I think it just sounds better with some amps than others. I've had setups that it sounds great with and others that it sounds like total crap with. That's a bummer, and quite the dilemma, while any tech should be able to fix a power jack, but I would want to send it back too. True about no, XLR on the MS, but it does have a 1/4" out with speaker sim. I have not used said 1/4" output yet, so no details on that. Good luck on the repair.
Have a great show tonight!

I've been listening through all my High on Fire vinyls lately. Bumming me out that their current tour isn't stopping through Pittsburgh. I hadn't listened to the newest release much, since Snakes of the Divine was a big disappointment to me, but man De Vermis Mysteriis is freaking brutal as hell.

dozicusmaximus · #**349** 11-30-2012, 08:15 AM

ISIS and coffee!!!
I'm ready for practice tomorrow. I'm ready to strart writing some damn songs. I'm getting antsy, so that's good I guess

father of fires · #**350** 11-30-2012, 08:19 AM

I'll have him etch my sunn preamp too, something with the japanese rising sun

love it. this will/would look sick on a pedal. I wasn't a fan of the ODB-3, but I hear nothing but good things about Monte Allum mods. definitely want to see the finished product dude.

The new one is the much better than Snakes... Best since Surrounded By Thieves, IMHO. They'll be here in two weeks. I've been reading show reviews of the tour and everyone is saying that Matt is more focused and his playing is insanely good. Guess the rehab stint did him good.

Any of you guys like Ambient music?

I've been listening to the Tron soundtrack alot lately, which makes me wanna smoke hash and dance in snow haha.

I'm also a big fan and have been listening to Little People - Mickey Mouse Operation a lot lately.

I listen to Chillwave station on Pandora alot; it's hit or miss where the good is great and the bad is horrible. My beloved macbook died a couple months ago so my music listening is a bit limited unfortunately.
