Mixing at Metropolis Studios

Mixing Started at Metropolis Studios on June 6

Just a quick note to say that yesterday we were mixing a song called MKK which has a reference to Michael Barrymore in it.

All of us back in The Toyshop

After 3 weeks apart I am back with TNP working on overdubs for the album at the legendary Toyshop:



Jack has done a lot of work on the tunes on his laptop (rockin' with his new Fireface 400) and come back with some great beats and guitar work, but absolutely no vocals :-).

So our focus for the second half of this session is to get lots of the vocals recorded. As I type Jack is doing a great job with "Numerology". He is in the booth singing into a Neumann M149, going into my UA 6176. This microphone seemed to help with intelligibility.

Gig at Islington Academy cancelled

So I arrived at about 23:20 for the TNP gig this evening and heard from Sophie that the gig was canceled - George had injured himself getting onto the stage.


Everyone was a bit shocked, but the injury is not life threatening, although it has messed his hair up.







After George left for hospital
the rest of the band packed up and left. I asked Tom what happened:



and then we said our goodbyes.



Back in the Studio on Monday.
