Our first CD was recently reviewed on the MuzikReviews website by music writer Rukshan Thenuwara. I’d like to thank Rukshan. It was an insightful assessment (even though the last paragraph was not easy to swallow). I’m happy…that CD was definitely an acquired taste for...
Sunday Night

The topic of the day: potential covers for shows. There’s always a bit of room to pay tribute to an artist. Do you have a song that you’d love more if it were revamped by some derelict crooner with a guitar? Let me know on Twitter! Thx! Go to Twitter Now or, as a random aside, you...

This musical fellow, Pete Morse, is a bit of a miracle worker behind the mixing console. As the producer and engineer of the new recording project, he’s been wildly successful at keeping my primitively circular mind in check. What was supposed to be a two week project has stretched on,...
The Decision
posted by TINSIMB
My germinating idea was that this record would be a sprawling, collective effort. Getting musicians in the right place at the right time isn’t always easy though. I’ve found myself playing all of the instruments again. The good news is that the producer has been helping out and...

For the next CD, I’m going to use the slang name of the band. Everyone shortens it, so we will too. When I see it written on notes or Facebook messages, it’s often just “There Is No Sin.” Look forward to seeing the CD in late October filed under the shortened moniker....
And Here We Go.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had to turn to a studio for help. I like the late-night, guerrilla recording method for most of my stuff. Not this record though. There were too many people and too many instruments to consider. On top of this, the mastering guru Mark seems to have...
New Record Details
posted by TINSIMB
Record #2 in July? That’s my goal. Maybe August. I’m hunting for studio space at the moment. The details are draped in fog, but there will be ten tracks or so and guest appearances by people that we trust and love. Other than a few shows in September, I no useful live information...
