Mixing The New Satori Album

The Void Union (click to buy album)

Hello all. Things are going well in the Satori camp. Rich Graiko (from The Void Union and Westbound Train) is mixing most of the tracks and they are all sounding really good.

So here is a little inside on the process. I have all of the files on my computer and then I have to organize the ones I want to use and when I am happy with the track I send it to Rich. He then does his magic and then he sends it back to me and we make a few minor adjustments and the song is done. It is almost like sending the track into a magic time warp.

I can’t wait to share the new album with you all.

Jesse Hayes and Chiquis Making Moves

On Tuesday, February 3rd Jesse Hayes, Chiquis and I set up at Chris Candy’s home studio to record tracks for a new album that will be released on the Japanese label Ska In The World.

It was actually a miracle that the session even happened.

Jesse who is on tour with the Toasters at the moment was going to be playing in Anaheim on the night of the 3rd so we decided after his show in San Jose the night before he would drive straight to LA. At 6 in the morning I got a text from Jesse telling me that he was close. Chris got up and we drove to meet him right off of the 405. We slept for a few hours and then went straight over to setup for the session and we were rolling by 11 AM.

Later in the session, my good friend Matt Whyte from Earl Greyhound stopped by and played some sweet guitar with us.

I am really grateful that these guys were willing to do such a thing and we ended up being very productive. We tracked 5 songs that sound great.

I should go right now and work on the tracks.

Wish me luck.

New Satori Release on Ska In The World

Steve — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 23:59:58 +0000

So, I literally just found out that on Tuesday of next week I am going to be recording tracks for another album that will be released in Japan in May of this year on the label Ska In The World. This will be my third full length with the label.

My good friend Eddie “Chiquis” Lozoya (Hepcat, Chris Murray Combo) said he would be available to record bass on the session with us.

Jesse Hayes will be in town that day since he is on tour with The Toasters. I really can’t beleive this worked out the way it did. Awesome.

We will be recording again at Chris Candy’s (Chotto Ghetto) house. I will keep you updated with details once I have them.
