Playing with Ghoultown tonight
Come on out and see the Ghoultown show at the Doublewide tonight. Friday, Nov 21st! Good times.
I had the chance to play on their latest album. Drink with the living dead!
I love sitting in for a song or two when I have time. Playing something different helps exercise my chops and Ghoultown is different to say the least. Dark, twangy…I always had a hard time describing what they do. Kinda like a cross between a Morricone Spaghetti Western score and the Misfits. Gothabilly?..who knows…its always a good time high energy set. Ill be sitting in for night of the living dead and one more song.
Chris from Zoviet records made the stuff I played sound really sweet.
Basically, with me…..Ill record with anybody for a song or two. If its a considerable contribution to the project, then I might consider asking for a little gas money but playing on a song or two only makes
me a better studio player. I always practice the heck outta whatever I can. Im not particularly the cleanest player, but there is a certain rough twang that I can add. Im consistant too. Generally, my first take will be about the same as my fifth. I will have about two or three ideas of how I think it will sound and if they trash all the efforts..its no skin off of my back. Whatever. I dont have an ego at all about it.
With Ghoultown I felt bad that I was a few minutes late getting to the studio. Still, it took longer to set up the mics than my recording. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. Chris did some cool splicing and dicing with the fiddle riffs sprinkling some shuffles in parts that never even called for it. Its on their myspace
So, come on out. The cover is CHEAP. Like 5 bucks. The Skeletons are opening.
