It’ll Be Just Like Starting Over
Right. So – I sent emails to Troy (Iron and Wine, Brandy Carlisle, Lay Quiet Awhile, The Tantrums) and he’s down with donating some drum tracks. Also Stephen from Fire Tonight is down. And also Beaver Bausch who is this freaking incredible drummer I played with back in high school a million years ago – who now plays in a sort of cuban fusion jazz thing in NYC and teaches music at queens college. Anyway, all these guys are super-good. And Stephen and Beaver have recording capabilities- which is a huge bonus. So we’ll see how it goes… I’m pretty psyched that they’re willing.
The bummer is that even though Treadmill had a bunch of drummers before Tony – he was the real one. It’s kind of sucky to mess it up, but what can ya do? At first I thought he just needed a break on this project – but I’m getting the feeling now that he won’t be playing with Treadmill ever again. Not sure. But – I think that Treadmill playing live is a thing of the past anyway. Playing live is pretty fun – but making records is more fun.
