26/02

We're taking it track for track. Ripping the songs apart and making them listenable. Theo knows alot! I'm so glad we came here. It's gonna kick ass! Snake's drum sound is wikkid! He recorded 'Set Ourselves Up' today. Definitely a single! Whoo-hoo!

27/02

Friday already! Not much gonna be done today. We playing ramfest later. Just structuring some songs, Snake bangs a little on the kit and now we're off to the devil's stomping ground! Who would've thought it's just outside of worcester?

02/03

Ramfest was wild. That's an understatement. This whole week we'll just be working on structure, finishing the lyrics and laying the basic drumtracks down. Theo is making Snake keep it simple! Rock 'n Roll was never complicated!

Thank Crouse for airconditioning! Bellville studios is just so convenient, right around the corner, fancy name, the list goes on and on. Gotta love it. Tracking drums and taking names.

04/03

We've never actually practiced these tracks! So Snake is just winging it! Boosh!

05/03 & 06/03

Writing. Writing. Writing. Writing. Writing. Writing. Doef. Doef. Doef. Doef. Doef. Doef. Doef. Lunch! Writing. Writing. Writing Etc.

Sunday we use an empty booth and practice with the United Khayakitsha Mambazo for the upcoming show at Kirstenbosch.

09/03 & 10/03

The last two days we plan to spend focusing on the mighty Snakehead. He's delivered some of the kiffest-sounding drum parts this side of coolville.

11/03 to 13/03

Laudo takes up the guitar. Theo gives us another lesson on being the Mainest guy around and there was much rejoicing.

16/03

We decide to spend a day or two finishing the last lyrical loose ends. This gets on like a house on fire. We're finished! Now if we could just get to recording it all.

17/03

Theo gives us a call and brags about his newly installed backup system with spinning wheels and flashing lights and who knows what else. The sunny Cape Town weather inspires us to write another song! What a beauty.
