'Sandbox Theory' Frontmen Jay and Steve (seen in this picture with jay squashing Steves head) together with Guitarist Lenny reported for vocal duty with Producer Andy Sorenson at the Grove Studios yesterday.
First song off the line was the 'new version' of Cellphone City with Steve on lead vocals and after a relaxing session in the vocal booth Steve, Andy, and the guys were more than happy with the results, smile were beaming from ear to ear as they listened to the fist playback.
The "The Mix Nija" Andy set about
making it all sound even better, so the guys took the opportunity to wander about the beautiful 25 Acre grounds intimidating the local animals
Then it was back into the vocal booth again and this time it was Jays turn with 'No Crime' - as before, this is a totally new version of the song and the grins were still in place when we heard the first playbacks.
Off for a quick lunch at the local boozer as we all tucked into Burgers Chips n' Beer
(Seen working hard in this picture is Axe Man Lenny)
but half an hour later we were all back in the Studio again...Andy is a hard taskmaster and a slave driver :)
Finally later that afternoon and we tracked the first vocals for the Bands theme song "Sandbox" once again this is a dramatically revised version of the original demos that have been heard and we were very excited to hear the first playback.
So all in all day one of first vocals was a resounding success and we had a ball working with Andy.
More soon...
