We just finished up tracking our new 7 song CD this weekend. 2 days live at Module Overload with Jamie Hillyer engineering along with video production by Justin Vaughan and Bryan Rayburn, and Morris Beegle helping us produce it. The tracking came out really good. We’ll be mixing it in the next few weeks and mastering by the end of the year. We’ll be posting video clips and releasing a music video for My Only Friend sometime in late January or early February. Official CD release we’re looking at March 2011.
Hey, we have some cool shows coming up over the next few weeks. Please check out our schedule at www.thebigmotif.com. We will be at Lola’s in Denver this Saturday for their Halloween Party. Free to get in, and should be a great time. We play from 9:30-midnight.
We will be at Hodi’s in Fort Collins on Nov 4th with the Grippe, and we’ll be video taping the show. The following week we will be at Herman’s on Nov 11th and recording and video taping that show as well. Then, on Nov 27th and 28th we are going into the studio to record our next EP, due out first quarter of 2011. We’ll also be releasing a music video as well as a short rockumentary with live footage, studio footage, behind the scenes footage, and some other cool and nifty tidbits. Stay tuned, we look forward to sharing some of our new material with you.
We will be playing at Hodi’s Halfnote in Fort Collins on September 3rd with Heatbox and The Gromet. We play around 10:30. It’s all ages and should be a great night. Come out and join us and tell all your friends.
We recently got a new recording device from Sanyo as a test market customer, and here’s what we think about it.
We are really satisfied with the Sanyo recorder. It has so many features that make it easy to use and to make the quality of the recording the best it could possibly be. This includes how it automatically levels itself so that the recordings are never over-modulated or are never peaking. It has a seemingly infinite amount of space and battery life which makes it fantastic for live recordings. All you need to do is press record, and you’re basically set for the night. The speaker in the back makes instant playback available, a feature that adds to the devices convenience.
The quality of the recordings blow other recording devices out of the water. Bass comes in super boomy and clear, and mids and highs are just as apparent. It’s made for recording music, whether it be just an acoustic guitar or a ten-person jam band, and every aspect of it shows that.
Other great features include the fact that it has an fm radio built in. The keypad is simple, yet takes the user where he/she needs to go in a heartbeat. There are external inputs as well, so that one can plug in a mic if he/she wanted. The unbelievable size still amazes us, especially when we listen to the excellent quality recordings it produces. It’s compatible with both Macs and PC’s, and it is super easy to upload your songs onto the computer. We keep mentioning how great it is for recording music, however it is also great for recording business meetings, interviews, class lectures, etc. Overall, the quality and size of the Xacti Sound Recorder is simply uncomparable.
Yes folks, we have a new blog. We’ll be posting some upcoming info for the band including new song samples we’re demoing in our practice space along with pix and other cool things from the camp.
We are playing at 6pm at Moe’s BBQ on Broadway this Friday as part of the Denver Post Underground Music Showcase. Come out and have fun with us, and 300 other bands throughout the weekend.
