L5- Self Titled EP

I have some friends whose band L5, aka Lumbar 5, I recorded in the fall of 2011 and mixed through the better part of 2012. Tracking was done in a basement in midtown Kansas City.  I had an Neumann U87 in a clothes dryer smushed between a cymbal sandwich and I used it in everyone of the mixes. Vocal overdubs were done at the Roost in Lawrence in a 12ft x 3ft hallway.  The band melted into non-existance right as we were finishing up overdubs.  I had a really good time making this record and I hope by posting it here that at least a few people give it a listen. RIP.

I Recorded this EP- Karma Vision "Pizza Power"

Karma Vision ::: Pizza Power by Whateverforever

I recorded Karma Vision's most recent EP entitled Pizza Power earlier this year and it is getting some love on the interwebs.  Weed Temple, No Fear of Pop  and The Pitch in KC have given it some good reviews. "So Vintage, So Hip."  These boys are releasing it on cassette on their own Whatever Forever label and on CD (through Workerbee Records).  They are selling it on Bandcamp here for $5 buster.
