Hey dudes. So as many people know I record other bands when I am not on tour. I don't have very good gear (maybe one day I will), but I know how to use what I have and I'm also big on mixing so I try my very best for bands that want to work with me. A few months ago a couple classy folks from the west end of Toronto, who I guess are kind of a part of that whole Stelmanis/Austra/Pizza Libretto thing going on out there, came to my studio and we recorded some singles for their project ARMY GIRLS. Carmen is a great singer, and guitar player and they basically did all this in one take and it was super easy and not annoying. The song writing is spot on, and feels very honest to me. Check them out. They just put up "The Power" on their soundbook.
CHECK IT HERE.
Also the song i wrote with Anthony/Actual Water is coming out as a single on Plastic Idol pretty soon. We did the photo shoot for the 7" cover and it looks something like this, except better and more expertly shot by D Nemet.. fookin Tassssty. Sink your teeth into an Actual Priest burger! 10 x 10 !

What sort of gear do you use to record your songs?
That hamburger looks disgusting. I'd probably still eat it though.
"she's a priest" is 200 times better than "latoya".
Ben good sound for army girls
greg - i just use normal mics, a few cheap outboard mic pre's, a weird little mixer i bought off a friend for 150$ with pro tools. nothing crazy.
Thanks, Ben. I just picked up a mic, a preamp, and a drum machine, and I'm hoping to demo some stuff soon. Your songs sound really good, and it's cool to hear that you don't have a super elaborate setup.
isn't that an extreme version of the one on the cover of now this week?
ya, i guess. a burger is a burger. the difference is Now is a weekly that writes about K-OS and this will be a record with awesome songs on it that will last forever.
