Those lovable, highly talented, highly ambitious fellows from The Shams Band have graced Kilo again with their presence, while tracking for their new LP.  These guys are all about capturing ‘the’ performance, and with a full length’s worth of songs, I was fortunate enough to witness this many times.  We recorded some very clean, crisp tones but got down and dirty when we needed to.  We also took a quantum leap back in time a few decades for a very special tune that is sure to melt hearts.  And now for some photos of the band and a gratuitous microphone technique shot…

Mad Minute, the furious Humboldt Park Punk band, assaulted Kilo with a slew of great songs that are to be the band’s next album.  It was a whirlwind of wailing drums, blaring bass, screaming guitars and some actual screaming, and turned out to be a super fun, very interesting project.  Watch out for their new LP – it will definitely whoop you with great tones and stellar performances.
