Poor Scotty, his hernia op seems to have taken a toll none could have foreseen.

Each scar he received has seemingly stolen a piece of his soul, and it seems as though his absence from the throne will be longer that anticipated.

In truth, the doc prescribed a longer rest to let the scars heal perfectly. But the EP is still on the way. Idle legs do not make for idle mouths.

Heal soon Scott!!

Sadly ManINsuiT will be taking a short break as Scott is off to hospital to have three Hernias fixed in one go.

Scott can look forward to days of pain and life without movement for awhile. His DVD player and PS2 will come in especially handy in the next weeks.

Good Luck Scott, and heres to a speedy recovery!

Yesterday we headed off into the depths of Cape Town and took our first photos to tie in with the new concept of the album. Stay tuned for a full report on the outing.

We’re upping our game! To prepare for our upcoming tour to PTA which includes Cafe Arc’ and ABSA Arena with Blind Guardian, we’ve been practicing with click tracks and backing samples from our EP. Pictured is Scott behind our newest best friend, an electric drum kit that will preserve our hearing for a few more years:)

Today I contemplated life, love and love handles. It seems that in the last two weeks Jhb has taken its toll on my young body. Where I used to have guns, I now have water pistols and where I had brains I now have beer. Oh well…at least I get to watch Rob suffer surfing withdrawal symptoms!

This recording time in Joburg has been amazing, great engineers, sound and professionalism, I really think this EP is going to set another standard for South African
Alternative music. The stuff that’s coming across unmixed, un-mastered and completely raw has surprised even us. Although we’ve been playing these songs for close to a year, hearing them, changing and improving them in studio has made us amped to hear them again . Amped as fuck to release this stuff.

Today we tracked vocals and guitar for the last track on the EP… ‘Goodnight and Goodbye and Here’s to Today’. Picture Ignite meets Queen and Deftones and you get the picture.

After everything had been finished on the last track we went on to record gang vocals for most of the tracks, it went pretty quickly and when mixed should sound like a bunch of Orcs at a premiership derby game. We have two days left and only the Intro vocals, a couple of blazing solos and about ten cases of beer need to be finished.

Everything seems to be going along smoothly so tonight Kamil and I will record the last of the keyboard, pick the sounds we want and sync it up with the rest of the music. Sweet.

Now I shall return to the kitchen and pour myself a vodka and lime.

Don’t Reason With It, Don’t Try To Argue With It…Just Dominate It!!!

Scott
