Birthday 'Cakes For Har Mar Superstar

Har Mar Superstar happened to be celebrating his birthday the other day while in the Black Iris LA studio, so we had to scramble to treat him right. Hence the cupcakes with the tape deck cleaner “birthday candle”.

Black Iris Winter Brew - 2009 We broke out the Black Iris Brew at a cocktail party last weekend, and I think the batch was a success. Thanks to brewmasters Greg and Greg for the Brown Ale and RYE P.A. and Zac for his design skills. The paper bags were a nice touch, don’t you think?

Ki: Theory Tracks At Black Iris & No One Gets Hurt

Thanks to Joel for the blogging about his experience tracking drums at Black Iris Richmond last week.
Ki: Theory

HEY! N-N-N-N-EWWWW KI:THEORY!! I’m finishing up my new song, “No One Gets Hurt” this week. It’s been a work in progress over the last few months and the guys at Black Iris were nice enough to let us track some drums in their hella-nice studio digs. Thanx especially to hella-tall Cam DiNunzio (Heks Orkest, Denali) for engineering the session and even bringin some of his pristine monster-of-indie chops on guitar! The song is in final mix phase now and I hope to have it ready for you to hear in the coming weeks!
