Hi there,
We’re gearing up to record the new album “Saint Judas”.
We’ve been playing weeklies and rehearsing for months to get deep into
the material. Now we take it even deeper as we go on retreat at The
Occidental Arts and Ecology Center from February 25 – March 1. We
will be honing the material for hours each day, finding the nuances
and subtleties.
This album is the culmination of years of work and I’m investing in
the preparation so that when we go into the studio we will be relaxed
and refined.
After the retreat we will be play two special shows before we go into
the studio on March 7 – 12 to record and mix the album.
