So we've officially been at it for a year, and all's going well. This is by far one of the tightest bands I've ever been involved with. So far we have quite a few shows under our belt, and they've been going quite well. We have about 14 videos up on Youtube (just search Wisconsin Beef Commission on there, and you'll find them) from 5 different shows; Our first show at Beach Harbor in Sturgeon Bay WI, our second or third show at The Monkey Bar here in Milwaukee, BBC's here in Milwaukee, The Up & Under in Milwaukee, and Treats which is also in Milwaukee. Thanks again to our good buddy Clark Barton for the video recording and editing on them!!
The decision has been made to sideline the shows (hence not having any booked at this time) and concentrate our efforts on recording. This means writing some new material which is what we're doing now, and the hardest part, finding the right studio. The trick part to all this, is that we're a very different kind of band. If a band shows up with a guitar player or two, bass, drums, and a lead singer, any sound engineer worth their salt can just mix the band, and come up with something wonderful. With us, things are a bit different, and we're looking for a producer that can work WITH us. There are many great recording engineers and producers in the area, but we can't afford to let their art take over what we're trying to do. Even in show situations, I find myself having to explain to the sound engineers "Treat the guitar amp like a guitar, and the bass amp like a bass. Trust me".
We will be looking into a few different options for studios, and we have some ideas of who to work with. As soon as we have some more details, we will get them out their.
