Clatter

look at them heads bobbing in the front row!
Good looking clip. We're still trying to figure out how to get some of ours from the Whole Note online. Nice to see you guys rip it up.
Joe is really bashin' away!

Still digging the harmony vox muchly. Glad to see you use them live too. They really add a lot. Can't wait to meet you guys down here!
 
whoah whoah whoah, this is amazing stuff!

That's one of the most gnarly Rick-produced sounds I've ever heard, what a huge sound with that rig. Very creative, and it's practically made me do a screeching-to-a-halt, 180 degree turn in my opinion on effects! (Which was, I was never big on them, but the light of inspiration hath shown.)
 
anyone ever heard of a band called clatter? theyve had a couple things written about them in bass player mag and i just got around to checkin em out. its a bass/drums outfit that has some pretty good stuff in it, but the vocals are iffy.
go to clatter.com and check em out (if you can get past the vocals). this stuff makes me wanna go buy a rickenbacker...
 
There's a great band out of Denver called Ainmatter...2 bass players and a drummer. GREAT sound, not muddy at all...worth checking out if you're ever in Denver (every time I see them I get mad that I'm in a "normal" rock band instead of a bass-fronted band!!)

Hey, I'm glad you like our stuff, nataku! Some people don't like the way the vocals were mixed, and I can understand that. We mixed in Nashville, so the vocal treatment wasn't the typical "rock vocal" sound. You should check out our live DVD when it comes out to see if you have a difference of opinion on the vox.

Other than that, what are you waiting for?! Go get that Ric!!!! :D

Got the postcard about the DVD, sounds great! That should be fun. I'm going to send in a question. :bassist:

after listening repeatedly the vocals are growing on me, its prolly just the mixing
and ya i need 2 go get a rickenbacker soon, my bass is dieing...

Get the Ric, fall in love with it's majesty, and go to at least ONE Clatter show. I'll wager you WILL want to go to another. I saw Clatter in Houston and then HAD TO drive to Beaumont the following month to see 'em again.

The CD is VERY close to the live sound but is your sound system at home equal to one beautiful drum kit, two bass amps, one guitar amp, and a PA system being exercised by two amazing musicians?

Buy the CD( [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] ), wreck your car stereo's speakers, and drive to Boonville. You won't be disappointed.
 
So, nataku - how does that foot taste?

Tosya - I kept hearing about your album, so I finally ordered it Sunday. It should be here shortly, and I'm looking forward to a listen.
