POTATO SMASH

12:21:44 PM Luke Willson: Yes? How may I assist you?
12:23:50 PM Jeffrey Campbell: I was hoping to speak with a Mr. Luke Willson, please.
12:24:43 PM Luke Willson: Mr. Willson is not available right now.
12:25:00 PM Luke Willson: He became redundant, and I've taken over his position.
12:25:16 PM Luke Willson: I disposed of him in the trash
12:25:18 PM Jeffrey Campbell: are you a robot?
12:26:24 PM Luke Willson: I am half-robot
12:26:59 PM Jeffrey Campbell: what half?
12:27:17 PM Luke Willson: My other half is 70% human, 30% badger, and 100% badass
12:27:39 PM Luke Willson: the top half
12:27:51 PM Jeffrey Campbell: do you like mashed potatoes?
12:28:30 PM Luke Willson: Not if they're arrogant or unkind.
12:29:02 PM Luke Willson: The real question is, if you had three days until the world ends, would you?
12:29:30 PM Jeffrey Campbell: "Mashed potatoes is sucks!!" -- My little cousin Ryan
12:29:44 PM Jeffrey Campbell: I think he states my sentiments more eloquently than I
12:30:46 PM Luke Willson: I really prefer smashed potatoes
12:31:25 PM Jeffrey Campbell: Its the badger in you, my animalic-robot acquaintance.

12:34:27 PM Jeffrey Campbell: Luke, is that you?
12:35:07 PM Luke Willson: No, this is still the half-robot, half-30%Badger70%human100%baddass
12:35:55 PM Jeffrey Campbell: oh. I thought that possibly Luke could have hotwired a broken laptop in the garbage and rigged a wifi connection. My bad.
12:36:15 PM Luke Willson: We will speak no more of Luke
12:36:59 PM Jeffrey Campbell: Ok, I really must be going. Tata for now, bad(ger)-ass chap!

Photos from the Studio!

So, we have some great news. Our friend, the legendary Nik Lund, has offered to help us record the rest of the tracks for our debut LP. Nik works downtown at Piano Forte, located in the Fine Arts Building. Since he is our formidable equal in nocturnality, he has offered us near free-reign of the building's 10 floors every day after 6. We have only just begun recording, but can already tell that the place is magic. The entire building, which was built in 1880, is a veritable labyrinth of artist studios and rare instrument merchants. I am pretty sure its at least moderately haunted and the acoustics are fantastic! We are even going to use the concert pianos in the ballroom and I really want to record some background vocals in the creepy bathroom on the sixth floor... the options are endless! Anyway, we will keep you guys updated with the continued development of the record and upload some pics, too. Here is the first batch, they aren't great, but they will have to do:




Our new nocturnal home







A Typical haunted hallway


The local fauna



the mandolin recording solitary confinement booth



In other news: Word on the street is that we are prepping to release a series of limited edition 7 inch singles before we unleash our LP unto the world. We neither confirm nor deny this accusation.. and instead choose to smile slyly and continue our underhanded musical scheming. bwahahaha.
