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.

Killick's "Reign in Blood" Acoustic Cover Album


I played a show a long while back in Chapel Thrill with a free jazzer cello/bass/sitar homemade-contraption player named Killick. He made a cool Slayer cover album that I bought.   I saw someone I hang with in Lawrence went to a Slayer show a couple of weeks ago and I thought of this guy.  He puts on a really good and loose improv show.  He still tours (Aug. 13 in Brooklyn at the Opera House Lofts) and is worth viewing if you want to take a magic carpet ride.
