Album Music Band News



We continue to soldier on rehearsing everything for the upcoming debut album. Eric and Ken are getting the rhythms tight so they can lay down the tracks in a couple of marathon sessions in November. Meanwhile, the guitar section is working out the fine details of what should and should not be. All fuck-ups aside we have been able to at least stay within the confines of the click-tracks.

The other news has been updates in gear, Ken has nearly a completely new bass rig while I just bought a new G&L guitar and am going to put new speakers and tubes in my amp as soon as I get it fixed. In a temporary setback it broke last Wednesday, better to have it happen in practice than at a gig, soon though we will have a backup amp.



We got so much new material in the works too, once we get this out we will be playing out a lot more and will have many new tricks up our sleeve as well as lots of stupid new covers.

Stay Classy.

D.M. Album Rehearsal Outtakes (Follow the Progress on Facebook and Twitter)

As we gear up for the new record we'll obviously be rehearsing everything to death. I want to provide a snapshot of where we are now. A preview if you will. This is a recent rehearsal outtake warts and all. I'm sure this will sound bad compared to what we will have in a couple of months. Everything is a work in progress, and with that we will continue to keep writing new tunes and perverting new covers.

We are going to update the whole process via Facebook and Twitter as well so stay tuned.

New Dinosaur Monster Music Band News



We are officially starting work on what will be the debut Dinosaur Monster album. The new album will be recorded and released under the local indie label Communist Day Care Center. We were going to do a brief four song EP but instead we are going to do a full length album. We have dates set for the rhythm tracks and are currently working on creating the click tracks which is a metronome that follows the tune. Most of our songs have different time changes within each song so we have to program every tune to follow the time changes rather than just turning the metronome on.

In the coming weeks we will have to run live rehearsals of the album a few times per week. That means no mistakes, and no slowing or speeding up. In theory the click track will end when the song is over. So that should keep us busy this fall, we will probably play out a little maybe a house party here or there, nothing too crazy. After the album is out though we will be playing out in the Detroit area and beyond. We also plan on doing weekend runs in Ann Arbor, Lansing, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, and perhaps even Chicago.

Look for us soon, we will have updates as we slog through the process. The album should be out around Chrismas.

We love you,

Stay classy.
