WHERE'S MY NECK, BRO?!

Another Monday has arrived and another jam from Grandfather Clocks is up. We are officially counting down the days until we are able to load-up Vanna White and hit the road. There are still things to take care of before then, but it's definitely nice to think about!

Our warm-up shows last weekend went well--the acoustic Rohs show was cozy and their Earl Grey tea was very tasty. The show at the Blue Rock was loud and raucous with a few PBRs and two fire-breathers (no joke). Chris flexed his theatrical chops at The Seedy Seeds video shoot this weekend, as well. He donned his best brobrah gear and acted a fool.



Time is running out for pre-sale of our debut record. It's only $5 (shipping included)--if you want to preview the tracks, head to the MySpace. Keep on keepin' on!

4 New Songs 4 Weeks!!

It is officially Monday and unfortunately we have only just now released our new song "Miss Lady Lately" -- we're very sorry, but we felt we needed to get the songs sounding proper. However, we were being serious about releasing a new song every week for the next three weeks! It is our way of trying to say "Thank You" for the support we've received.

Online PRE-SALE for our record, "Grandfather Clocks", is now available. It's $5 (S&H included) until February 22nd -- 8 songs, pretty good deal.

Live from the Pizza Factory

This week we've been braving the elements in order to meet up with Dr. Benjammin' Jones at his super-secret laboratory. We drink a few pots of coffee and tea and listen to the songs over and over--trying to work out the kinks while keeping our sanity intact. Unfortunately, it got the best of Chris:

Brian also showed signs of fatigue:


But the good news is it's comin' along just fine, so don't fret. We also have a little surprise for everyone--just watch the video below.

Tick Tick Tocking Clock

Sorry for the lack of updates in the past week. We returned to our "normal" jobs and have been keeping very busy with Slow Claw stuff. In reference to the title of this post, our debut Record "Grandfather Clocks" is almost through post-production--we're proud of what we've created and extremely excited to release it. While we're on the subject, make sure to check out our MySpace or Facebook for tour dates. We have four CD release shows the last week of February, followed by dates throughout March. We don't want to miss an opportunity to hangout with all of you, so please, please, please come out. It will be fun. I promise.

More updates later this week. Chris and I are fighting some nasty colds, but don't worry, we're taking our vitamins, getting rest (not really), and drinking lots of fluids. Okay that's it for now--back to work.

Beat Boxing!!!

So we are completely finished with recording. The three of us made the long trek back to Ohio through the night on Wednesday to get back to our day jobs. Boooooooo!!! The experience of recording with Joel was remarkable and we are so glad we chose him to do the record with. He has an almost automatic sense of what sounds good and makes sense while recording. The extremely natural production style gives the recordings a feeling that you can't replace. It almost feels like you are in the room with us. He sat in on most of the songs recording everything from guitars, piano, and rainstick/tambo (see below).

Here is a video of the very last thing we recorded. Along with gang vocals Joel made us beat box for the last chorus of a song called "Everybody" that will be on the new record. It sounds ridiculous and looks even more ridiculous but it is exactly what the song needed. Check it!

Wrap It Up!!!

We have been very busy trying to get this record done. Tomorrow night we will make the long drive back to Ohio. None of us are looking forward to getting back to work but who ever looks forward to that? We are however very excited to close the tracking chapter of the record and move on to mixing, mastering, and pressing the record.

I did my best to be our videographer during recording. It is an art in it self and I'll keep trying if you guys keep watching. Here are a few short videos I took over the last few days. The second video has a taste of two brand new songs. Check it out! Chris
