New Gadget - New Song 'SEX FOR FREE'

Spent Sunday afternoon drooling over latest piece of sci-fi guitar technology with Sandbox1 Axeman Ian Smith.

WELL! it's not that new to honest, it came out a year or so ago.

But it's still Bleeding Edge stuff.

The following information is for the guitar anoracks:

The first page of the manual reads...

POD X3 Live represents the true evolution of the now-classic POD xt Live guitar amp modeler, with an expanded array of 78 guitar amps, from high-wattage heavyweights to boutique beauties and vintage treasures.

24 guitar cabs, 98 stompbox and studio effects, 28 bass amps, 22 bass cabs and six vocal preamps... I wont continue at the risk of alienating any readers.

So Ian fires this sucker up, plugs in his vintage Strat and WOW! instant rock legend sounds, perfect for recording.

We spent a great afternoon auditioning the sounds for new Sandbox1 song 'Sex for Free' and man this baby kicks arse:)

More soon

Set your clocks to "olly time"

It's twenty to three Saturday afternoon and we are waiting for Olly - Hmmm I reccon we need to write a song about this - Yea

"Waiting fer Olly"

Were waiting for Olly

and we're hangin' loose

just waiting fer Olly

here comes an excuse

a volcano erupted

he was hit by a bus

drowned in a Tsunami

hey what's all the fuss?

We're waitin fer Olly

just waitin fer Olly...

:)

Mind you we are used to it now - Olly is the most timetable challenged member of Sandbox1 and we have all kinda got used to him now so when he says he'll be there at 1.00 P.M. we automatically adjust and add on three hours (Olly Time) LOL

anyhow...

Today is the start of the weekend rehearsals sessions and the Sandbox1 dudes have to learn their parts in readiness for the forthcoming recording sessions. Everyone is pumped up and raring to go to the studio but we need to be well rehearsed as a lot of money is going into the production thanks to a few special fans who are putting their money where their mouths are and financing our first release.

Plan to have another meeting with Andy Sorenson next week to discuss the recording budget (Gulp!) and strategy.

More soon :)

The Sandbox Squad.
