Good Day

At the video workshop

We accomplished a lot today...Starting early in the morning we finished shooting our music video to our single "Checked in to Check Out" (WHICH IS FREE ON OUR BANDPAGE!) with the help of the Soledad music video class! In doing so we also got on good terms with record label CEO Fred Segura who is going to walk us through the process of successfully becoming a stable independent label band! Thanks! Then after a previous day's work of burning and packaging CD's we set up a little table at the Feast of Lanterns, an event that attracts people from all over the county, to hand out free samples of our single and promote our upcoming album over a broader network. We gave away 130 cds. Surprisingly one of the guys that picked up a sample invited us to join his party so he could play the song for everyone. Upon visiting his house, we were greeted with great hospitality and met some incredibly encouraging music lovers who, upon hearing our music, expressed their interest in our band. (That was extremely rewarding.) Then we stopped by The American Burger to hear the local band Grand Silver Dollar who rocked! WOWEE... all in one day. Things are rolling.

Shasta

We are in a little suite right below Mt. Shasta getting ready to eat. We just sent Kyler the mixed audio for "Old Boat" for both his opinion and additional sound effects. Also, we are setting up the design of our album and putting together the necessary components of our Bandcamp page so you can buy music. Stay tuned to find out when "Old Boat" is done!

The Cabin focusing

As the title of this entry suggests, we are currently inside a cabin in The Avenue Of Giants outside of Humboldt, CA mixing our self recorded original song "Old Boat". Initially we entered the cabin and Brent (THE FACILITATOR) got to work mixing and editing the already recorded tracks for a first draft. Then Mikey and Taylor (Kyler couldn't come) gave the mix a listen and we all collaborated to produce the final mix! Here are some pictures of us hard at work.

Landmark

Thanks everyone for supporting us and helping us reach over 100 likes on facebook! we are super stoked to see our fanbase slowly developing. We hope to actually get some of our recorded tracks to you very soon! On our old Mozzo Kush page, which we thought was made by some random person but was actually made by one of us, we only reached 74 likes in a span of maybe a year so again we appreciate it! very encouraging!

Mozzo Day

Phantom Collaboration!

Our guitarist and vocalist Kyler Mello is also in a band called Phantom, yes another very talented band, who specialize in electronic music! One of our projects involved the commissioning of Phantom to remix our song "Made Me". Interestingly, the original file they used to is not the track that will be on the album. The album will have a live instrumental arrangement but Phantom utilized an electric version of "Made Me" originally by Mikey Cho, Mozzo Kush's bassist. Phantom completely reinvented the tune and have released it on soundcloud and facebook. PLEASE check it out!!!

So close...

Aaron Rauber, the recording engineer working with us at Franklin St. Studios told us to visit him this week to hear the first draft of fully mixed tracks. We hope they're close to what we want and knowing Aaron they will be! Also on a side note, We will be filming a music video for our album's single "Checked in to Check Out" this saturday with a workshop in Soledad! It will be very entertaining...We've got our album cover idea down and will have the cover done soon. Things are working out well. this week

Home Studio progress!

Wow surprisingly our little home studio setup is sounding great! Much thanks to Brent, who actually knows what he is doing, the ballad bonus track titled "Old Boat" is becoming very experimental and unique! We've implemented a live trumpet and hope to use other sounds during our recording session tomorrow. We plan to bring in some more equipment for recording and some more material for our aural pleasure in the coming days...good times.

New Recordings

Fresh out of the studio.  Waiting for the final mixes to be complete, and our album will be one step closer to completion!  We are currently self-recording an acoustic bonus track which will be on the final album, due out in mid to late August.  We have our youtube channel up and running with a video compilation of our time in Franklin Street Recording Studio with recording/mixing engineer Aaron Rauber.  Lots of stuff left to do, we are so stoked to see our debut album coming together.  Like us on Facebook, subscribe to our youtube channel, and get ready to hear more soon from Mozzo Kush
