GAMA BOMB - CITIZEN BRAIN STUDIO UPDATE #2
Zombies, beer and thrash...just another day in the life of Ireland's own GAMA BOMB.
The band checks in once again with another update straight from Grindstone Studios about the recording of their EARACHE debut, CITIZEN BRAIN (produced by Scott Atkins):
Dispatches From The Front Pt. 2 - Studio Report
"If making amazing albums is a crime, we're going to be sent down for life
when CITIZEN BRAIN gets released (slated for mid-May, fact fans). Drums are
complete, as evidenced by Paul spending his days playing Hitman with a beer,
and we're coming to the end of guitar tracking. Luke and Domo have been
putting in long days, scrutinizing every riff and lick with Scott, and the
results sound amazing. Philly is now getting into the thick of the vocal
takes, too, and is packing in some seriously balls-to-the-wall screaming in
late-night sessions. Unfortunately, he hasn't been spotted wearing
sunglasses while doing takes like Glen Benton. A recent memo from EARACHE
advised that 'more falsettos = better', and we're certainly going to deliver
on that.
Last week saw Tom Luchtenstein from MUTANT and Jamie from Resilience Records
swing by the studio to deliver some hilariously brilliant backing vocals on
a few tunes, only to callously leave us again like the Milk Tray man in the
night. We got over it. We also got the first pencil roughs for CITIZEN BRAIN's album cover back from our man in New York, the brilliant Jeff Zornow
(www.myspace.com/zornow). It looks amazing. If you see one picture of robot
arms coming out of mouths this year, make this it.
We're into the last week of recording now, and the working days are getting
longer (while the studio becomes progressively smellier and more cluttered
with crisp bags and guitar string ends), the work is getting harder, and the
alcohol consumption is leveling out to a steady 25 cases per week. We're
big and tough because we drink lots. Etcetera. Bass and lead, as well as the
rest of the vocals and backings, occupy the rest of our time here, as does
watching the 15 Italian trash cinema DVDs we got in the post this weekend.
We can highly recommend Devil Story and Cop Game to lovers of unbelievably
bad cinema.
