This is the start of a new project… Sick Ship.
The band consists of me, Steve Fennell (Wheels On The Bus) and Pat Kelly (Ten Speed Hero). We play in my apartment, we call it a headphone jam. We run electronic drums, bass and guitar into a mixer and out to a headphone amp, it always ends up sounding good and it doesn’t make your ears ring like a real jam, but it also doesn’t rattle your soul like standing in front of a wall of amps. We’re not really called Sick Ship, we don’t have a name yet.
We do a lot of recording direct from the extra headphone output into my Macbook Pro using Garage Band. We write songs collectively so I thought I’d start recording that process and put it up for anyone who is interested. It’s rough as we work things out and unfortunately you can’t hear us talking because that’s an important part of it.
Here’s the first in this series.
Pat brought in a riff he’d come up with earlier that day and we just jammed on it. Near the end we Started working on a riff Steve and I had messed around with a few months ago. Have a listen, there might be something good there.
