I had a great time recording, engineering, co-producing and mastering these three tunes on their five track EP. It was recorded using a Mackie 1604VLZ Analog mixer into a Pro Tools and Tascam DAT30 MK II. Kick and snare were routed through an ART Pro VLA Tube preamp; I also used the tube pre for vocals. Shure SM81 mics were overheads, AKG mics on toms and a D112 on kick drum. Neumann TLM 103 on all vocal tracks. Bass was recorded direct. All effects used, including mastering compressors (L1 and C4), were Waves Gold or Platinum Native pack.

The band line-up at the time was Annette Bzdawka on guitar and vocals, Bryan Ferguson on Guitars and vocals, Mark Evangelista on drums. Special appearances on guitar are from Shay [no last name on album credits]. Les July on bass.
