We’ve arrived in sunny ol’ Los Angeles for our album recording session.. and we are very happy to be here, indeed! Getting out of Melbourne town to get creative with some staggeringly talented folk, especially in the midst of a heatwave, is a pretty *cool* way to spend the Summer. (very Punny…)

We’re in pre-production at the moment, which often entails taking the songs right back to basics, stripping them of their layers (like an onion.. Spinal Tap? Anyone?)  and re-jigging, re-dressing and super home improvement-ing them as best we can before putting them back together.

It’s all going extremely well, well, apart from the occasional bout of food poisoning,  gastro, pink-eye, a head cold and not being able to sleep past 5 in the morning! Damn you jet lag! So, APART from our health (which is on the mend, yay) it’s all feeling Right On. We feel very blessed to be here having this experience. Doing what we love, learning heaps of new tricks, finally pulling into shape a collection of songs that will hopefully be a good first chapter, and get across what the Verses are about.

Aaaaand, there’s DINERS. Awesome. More pickles please. Izzy’s is the shzzzzz. (see pictures) We were there for lunch, I had the giant pastrami sandwich and orrrrrsum chicken noodle soup and I got Jesse to go back down there and get me more chicken noodle soup take away for dinner.. (because I’m couch bound and blogging.. and I need it. I’ve got the head cold)

I hope to keep you updated as we get further along..

Till next time!
