We Shot The Moon Update

By Leave a Comment

We Shot The Moon (previously The Honor Roll) featuring Jonathan Jones (ex. Waking Ashland), Joe Greenetz (Sherwood) and Dan Koch (Sherwood) have posted an update from the studio.

Studio 770 update 4

When in the studio time seems to be kind of non-exsistent. We went in today around 9:00am, got out, and it was dark. The day just kind of happened.

Things are going really well. The guitars should all be done by the end of the day tomorrow. I sang “Julie” today. It was kind of nerve racking. By that I mean, I have made a number of records now, but I tend to freak out and over analyze when it comes to recording voice. The voice is its on deal. I honestly don’t think I have ever left the vocal booth satisfied…today was no exception, but such is life. Michael(producer)thought we got great takes…either or, I will be relieved when the last song is sung.

Joe left us all today. He had to go back to Northern Cali to take care of Sherwood “Stuff”. I already miss the guy:(

I still have Dan for a couple more days though….poor Dan:)

Thanks for reading these updates. It means a lot to me.
