Hey there!

It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to write something about our music. We’ve been a bit dormant lately, but I am expecting to be back in the studio this fall. A few things have gotten in the way lately – a day job that has taken a lot of my time, and possibly more importantly a loss of much needed computer equipment for the studio. We do our recording ourselves with low-cost mixers and a standard computer. Our studio needs a computer upgrade to support continued recording and I am expecting to take care of that in September. With that upgrade we’ll be back in the recording flow – which will be very cool because we have lots of ideas. I’m very excited about the next song we’re going to record. It’s inspired by Latin music I’ve heard that was really unique and inspired a particular idea that I wanted to try in a rock song. That’s all I’m going to tell you about it. It’s going to be a real challenge to record this song the way I want to do it. Another challenge is that I badly need some backup singers to pull this song off properly and we don’t really have that right now.

I was reading an article about Bono recently. He made the comment that he thought every musician wanted their music to be heard by a lot of people – that he didn’t buy it when people said that wasn’t important to them. I hadn’t really thought about that before reading that quote, but when I thought about it I had to admit that I really do want a lot of people to listen to our songs. We get a small flow of steady listeners via qrstation.com and reverbnation. What was really cool to see this week was that I was surfing the reverbnation sight and saw that a few people that have accounts on their site had put Q.R. Station songs on their playlists. Users can make a playlist of their favorite songs and it was really great to see that they thought enough of us to add us to their lists. To everyone who has done that -thanks so much. It means a lot to us.

Happy 4th of July and we’ll be in touch.
