Radio Underground played as part of a fundraiser/unveiling of the Vermont Rights and Democracy organization.
We Begin Again… Constantly
With the exception of a couple days of feeble attempts at playing in the studio a few weeks ago I haven
Back Again
Knocking the dust off and trying to get back to it. I know, it’s been a while.
The Evolution of the Board, part 7
Here we have an example of the technological excess that I rely on to make the noise I make. This is my Radio Underground/general rock pedalboard. Yes, it’s heavy and a pain to load in. Yes, it is worth it.
The signal path goes along as such:
guitar input -> Line 6 M5 with expression pedal for whammy and wah presets -> MXR Dynacomp -> Ernie Ball volume pedal – Korg Pitchblack tuner -> B.C. Rich programable swithcher (that swithches between my preamp and distortion/fuzz sounds: a DOD EQ, an early ’80s Ibanez TS9, a Sovtek Big Muff and an Electro Harmonix Tube Zipper) -> ART Tube preamp -> Electro Harmonix Freeze -> Line 6 M9 for delays/modulation/basic looping -> off to the amps!
Radio Underground @ Das Bierhaus, 9/28/13
RU did Das Bierhaus in Burlington last Saturday nite.
So We Begin Again
Summer has ended and I’m trying to organize/prioritize/categorize my projects. Currently at hand are the following: Stick practice (ongoing), NST practice/repertoire (ongoing) – in anticipation of next Spring’s Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists Northeast USA appearances, mixing the live Radio Underground EP, rehearsing for some forthcoming RU shows, demoing for the next Ghost Ghost recording, exploring booking opportunities for both RU and solo gigs, knocking the dust off of the Pantet repertoire and restarting that behemoth.
Back in Action
So, things have been slowly ramping-up for my return to active duty.
RU – Nectar’s, 05/30/12
Radio Underground played Nectar’s last night and it ranks among the top 10 gigs in my life.
Where Did Summer Go?
For that matter, where the hell did Fall go as well?
In the midst of an unplanned hiatus to deal with some family health issues but to recap:
Ghost Ghost did the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn and The Delancy (on the LES) as part of the CMJ Festival. Stone Document battled away at mixing and mastering the next record (Too Red For The Room). Radio Underground will probably do the LaVigne Family Christmas Spectacular with Zack at the Monkey House sometime during the holidays.
That about covers it. More soon (hopefully).
Oh, here’s a pick of Ghost Ghost onstage at the Knitting Factory:
Underground Radio Tower Group
3/4s of Radio Underground did a special holiday show Sunday night at the Monkey House.
