QUE SERA with DRUMS AND COLOR & MOONSHINE AND THE DRUGS

RECORDING

So it has been way too long since posting on this blog of ours. I blame myself completely. We have been recording with our now good friend Danny Duran and Matt Suttle(Moonshine and the Drugs). We've managed to complete a few aspects; drums have been laid down, bass guitar, main guitar tracks and main vocals seem to be mostly complete. We've decided however that the drums will be recorded again in a larger, open room with more microphones that will help capture the true essence of drums. All in all, we are inching closer to completing our first record as Copia. We are entirely excited to say the very least. We've stayed up many the late nights and have poured in our souls thanks to Danny and Matt's amazing and wonderful help. I can't say enough things about those guys. If you want an honest record, have them work on it. Those fellows are money and we feel privileged to be working with them. We are narrowing our sites on the name of the e.p. but we'll officially announce it as soon as it appears close to finished. Obviously, we are not quite done just yet. We hope to add more guitar parts from Greg, add vocals-overdubs-etc., and sample sounds, as well as, redo the drum tracks. We cannot wait until we can present it to anyone who is willing to listen to our music. The best part of this whole experience you ask? Becoming friends with superb individuals that share our passion of making music to express ourselves. Thanks to all of our friends that have been pushing us, encouraging us, reminding us what it is all about...Making music you believe in. Thank you specifically to Danny Duran, Moonshine and the Drugs, Drums and Color, Jupilar (Matt and Paul!), our wives and girlfriends, Brent Firestone, and anyone else I will remember to thank in this rant of mine. I am on a new high with the music. I can't wait to complete what we started out to do. Until next time, one love.

Solo Show

Thanks to Orion Walsh for hooking us up with a show. I played a few Copia and Etc. Etc. songs. It was different not having the guys around. We are trying to arrange our schedules to begin laying down bass, guitars, vocals, etc. We'll let you know more as time goes on. We are scheduling more shows as well. We'll keep you posted.

DETROIT BAR WRAP UP

We really enjoyed Thursday's show at Detroit Bar. It's a great venue with an atmosphere to match; so we enjoyed playing there and hope we can play there more often. We met Bella Novela for the first time and they completely blew us away with their talent. If you haven't heard their music, do yourself a favor and head over to iTunes or google (Bella Novela). We really hope to link up with that band in the near future. Great people. Gram Rabbit was awesome too! We felt lucky to be part of such a great show. We are currently trying to manage ourselves in completing this recording of ours. We will let you know if things unfold sooner than later. Hope all is well. Thanks for checking in.
