In a rare moment of cooperation during the somewhat turbulent final recording sessions for their fifth LP, all four members got together to record an acapela blues song all at the same time. Let’s hear their thoughts.
Brick: “This all started after I listened to some classic blues songs by Blind Lemon Jefferson and some other great blues musicians. We were going to record it with actual instruments but someone forgot to bring them so we did it acapela.”
Shadow: “Ah yes, we captured the essence of tragedy through slow rhythmic blues patterns. It was all a matter of calculating the right timing for our vocal chords. Of course it would have been better to record it with my usual percussion equipment however someone forgot that it was his turn to drive the van of instruments to the recording studio this week.”
Tigerman: “It was just nice to be included in this song after being forgotten last time.”
Slate: “What a bunch of whiny bitches… I recorded the demo on my ipod and then played that into the mic. Easiest gig I ever did. What? You wanna go, Brick? I dare you to say that to my face, you damn...”
We'll leave with a classic blues song as the boys at MFUJ take a time-out.
