microwave spaghetti






At the moment were in the middle of making our next EP, just finished a week of tracking and waiting to put the final touches on over the next few weeks.


I think we've started to accept my theory of songwriting that the first idea to come out of your head is most often the best. With some of the new songs we turned ourselves inside out trying to improve them in some way but in the end returned to the original form... there's a certain honesty in the first draft that you can't quite put fingers on.

Our producer didn't disappoint either, we spent most of the time in the studio deciding which of the 20+ guitars to use. (I ended up using the cheapest instruments in the studio instead of the '61 jazzmaster once borrowed by thursten moore or the '63 one that johnny marr wanted to buy). We all recently got a bunch of new guitars too which we're pretty happy with and they made their way onto the record too...

Ricky-lee from australian idol was doing a new single in the studio next door with t-pain or flo rida or someone, sounded so fresh.

Kerridge wore a suede jacket and elvis sunglasses and sang on a few tracks.
