Hi all,
Hope everyone is doing well.
I updated the profile by adding some live video performances from the Hermosa Beach, California Surf Music Stomp Day 2010::
For this show, each band member basically listened to the songs at home and we played them on stage hence all the hesitations and confusion in the intros and outros.
The singer Danny Dean was just getting in from a show in Las Vegas, so he learned the songs in his car.
Too bad we can't hear the backup voices due to the short range of Danny's microphone.
"Do You Wanna Dance" and "We Say Yeah"
"Gee Whiz It's You"
"Nine Times Out of Ten" and "Tough Enough"
(I updated our Band profile with these 2 audio / Videos recordings that are going to be sent to mastering.
The previous tunes on the website were not properly mixed).
The 2 recordings from our (International Men Of Mystery, Ca. USA) 1st upcoming CD tribute to The Shadows.
We are sending the CD to mastering in the next few weeks.
We were asked to record it in analog mode, close to the playing and recording conditions of the original recording by The Shadows in 1961.
Shadoogie:
(Shadoogie was done in one take).
The Frightened City:
The pictures here are of the 2 earthquakes that hit my hometown in 1954 and 1980.
We had to redo this tune and eventhough my G string is a little sharp, we kept this recording as is.
I hope the ambiance and feel of the time (not quite the guitar sound), as well as the energy of the original are close in our recording.
I hope you like it.
Blessings
Abel
