					<title>Bassist, Aaron Bishop.</title>
					<link>http://theslatersisters.com/blog.cfm?feature=1192258&amp;postid=816945</link>
					<description>Good news, folks. Last night was our first practice with bass player extraordinaire, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aaronbishopmusic.com/Site/Home.html&quot;&gt;Aaron Bishop. Once again, we sound like a band, which is exciting and inspiring. Aaron does this thing where he learns songs after playing them twice. Personally I think it&apos;s some kind of voodoo or mind control, but I&apos;m into it.  While the album is going to release later than expected, it&apos;s going to sound better than we anticipated... and we anticipated it changing lives. We are humble. Stay thirsty, my friends.

					<description>Tonight we are officially cutting the ribbon; the first tracks to our new album are going to be recorded. To celebrate, I will give you a few details about the upcoming album, scheduled to release this coming March.It will be a story-based concept album.You may never be the same after hearing it.It will probably change the world.While Matt and Lucy have moved back to New Zealand, they are still going to have a massive presence in the recording. We are, however, in need of a bass player for when we start playing shows to promote the CD release in March/April/May. Please contact us if you are interested! In the meantime, let us appreciate how attractive and wise the ladies look in this vintage shot from a  few years ago:&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/theslatersisters/photos/22157946#%7B%22ImageId%22%3A22157946%7D&quot;&gt;http://www.myspace.com/theslatersisters/photos/22157946#%7B%22ImageId%22%3A22157946%7D</description>

					<description>This journal is dedicated towards documenting the entire process of recording The Slater Sisters upcoming album. We&apos;ve decided to&amp;nbsp;expedite&amp;nbsp;the process of making albums by doing the production ourselves. We&apos;ve purchased our own gear and have a very strict schedule that, if followed, will enable us to have an new album out in March. While a new DIY recordings may carry with it an amateur connotation, I can assure you that this will be an improvement to our sound. Our most recent recording, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-zbqXLaKok&amp;amp;feature=related&quot;&gt;&quot;Walk On&quot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;was our first attempt to record on our own. We hit a few minor snags while setting up recording gear at our rehearsal space in Woodland Hills, CA. Matt&apos;s golden ears turned the song into something we&apos;re all very proud of, and is&amp;nbsp;seamless&amp;nbsp;in comparison the the quality of recording we got&amp;nbsp;out of the Los Angeles Recording School for our EP &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theslatersisters.com/store.cfm&quot;&gt;No More I&apos;m Sorry.Our new music has been a pleasure to write thus far, and is a fantastic example of a collaboration; every member of the band has played a large role in writing our new material.

					<title>Detroit Bar, Honeypie, Melanoid &amp; Dallas</title>
					<link>http://theslatersisters.com/blog.cfm?feature=1192258&amp;postid=367574</link>
					<description>A friend of mine recommended that I check out a venue called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.detroitbar.com/home.php&quot;&gt;Detroit Bar, in Costa Mesa, so Frank and I ventured out there for a night of music.  Detroit Bar is tucked away in the corner of a strip mall, but it has the feel of the kind of cool bar one would find in Silverlake. There is a large stage for a venue of its size (a big plus for bands wanting to play there) and plenty of space for a crowd of over a hundred people. The rest of the bar sports an indie/lounge vibe, with couches and a few tables from which the band can be watched.  An added bonus: TVs that silently play classic Saturday Night Live musical guests between sets. A separate room towards the rear of Detroit provides a quieter area where people can chalk-up at the pool tables.HONEYPIEImage borrowed from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/honeypiemusic&quot;&gt;www.myspace.com/honeypiemusic With microphone stands decorated in swirly floral vines to match the hometown influence of their music, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/www.myspace.com/honeypiemusic&quot;&gt;Honeypie confidently played a slightly indie version of feel good folk rock. Tricia is their lead singer, who has a cute sexiness about her, as she shines through the music with vocal parts that reminded us of a slightly sweeter Jenny Lewis from Rilo Kiley. The band was tight and well-rehearsed; the drummer was noticeably a rocker who brought an important and energetic edge to the music; rhythm guitar and bass locked up with the drums; the lead guitarist, clearly well versed in country folk, played some pleasantly subtle but melodic riffs; organ added the final fantastic piece to the puzzle. Together the music was not quite predictable. Predictability often being a trait expected from country-influenced music, Honeypie was a breath of fresh air. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/honeypiemusic&quot;&gt;www.myspace.com/honeypiemusicMELANOIDImage borrowed from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/melanoid&quot;&gt;www.myspace.com/melanoidSuddenly the stage lights turn red and ominous. Mystery is afoot at Detroit Bar. Melanoid takes the stage. First and foremost, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/www.myspace.com/melanoid&quot;&gt;Melanoid plays their own unique brand of art rock that sits comfortably somewhere between the moodier side of Muse and the ambient side of Radiohead. John, the singer of Melanoid has a very soothing voice that swells into memorable melodies that  make you want to learn the songs and sing along. The band as a whole proved that you don&apos;t need to go to the Hollywood Bowl to see professionals. While John sang and played guitar, the lead guitarist got experimental and made some amazing sounds come out of the six string. The drumming was unquestionably fitting and solid. The bass player used the entire neck of his instrument skillfully. The organ, played by the same person who played in Honey Pie, was amazing for the second time (see review below). While the musical style was art rock, it was a brand of which was quite comprehensive and gave the listener something to hold on to while they fell deeper into the creativity of Melanoid. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/melanoid&quot;&gt;www.myspace.com/melanoidDALLAS KRUSEImage Borrowed from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dallaskruse.com/dk/zionstudios.html&quot;&gt;http://www.dallaskruse.com/dk/zionstudios.html&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dallaskruse.com/dk/lookingglass.html&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dallaskruse.com/dk/lookingglass.html&quot;&gt;Dallas Kruse, was the keys player for both bands this evening. Quite frankly, it was a pleasure to watch him bang on the black and whites. In each band he added a layer of sound that drastically enhanced the music. In addition it was clear to see that Dallas had a vast understanding of his instrument and music in general as he played his dynamics appropriately. We approached Dallas after the sets to simply shake the hand of a musician. We discovered that he plays in twelve local bands in addition to working on his own material and managing Zion Studios, located in Santa Ana. The Slater Sisters Blog officially endorses this go-getter! &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dallaskruse.com/dk/downbeat.html&quot;&gt;www.dallaskruse.comFor music and more information on these bands, please visit our links section.

					<link>http://theslatersisters.com/blog.cfm?feature=1192258&amp;postid=182141</link>
					<description>Our engineers/producers/friends Matt and Lucy recently played us some of their music that they have written and produced.  We were so impressed that we feel the need to share them with you.  Not only do they know how to work the studio with ease and efficiency, but they are amazing songwriters and musicians, and two of the coolest people we have ever met.  We feel blessed to have them working with us, and highly recommend them to anyone needing producers, songwriters, a guitar/bass player, or keyboardist.Soooo, check out their myspace page here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/therebelmovement&quot;&gt;www.myspace.com/therebelmovement (Our favorite song is &quot;Somebody Else&quot;; scroll down the song list to hear it).And be a Facebook FAN here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/therebelmovement&quot;&gt;www.facebook.com/therebelmovementThat&apos;s all for now.  GushFest complete!!!</description>

					<description>I am watching the Yankees play the Angels right now.  I was raised watching baseball and going to baseball games.  My dad is the biggest baseball/Dodger fan on the face of the earth.  My husband is a Yankee/Dodger fan.  I really hope the Dodgers don&apos;t go up against the Yankees in the World  Series for the sanity of my househould! If the Dodgers keep playing the way they have been, it shouldn&apos;t be a problem :)Jillian</description>

					<title>TOO Much Fun?</title>
					<link>http://theslatersisters.com/blog.cfm?feature=1192258&amp;postid=182144</link>
					<description>We don&apos;t believe there is such a thing.  Lots of fun has taken place in the studio lately.  Tons o&apos; the stuff.  We are getting close to finishing up vocals, and then we&apos;ll add more little fun extra things.  This here blog post is about some of those little fun extra things.  We started recording some percussion last week, and made everyone a little nuts with our fake percussion.  Jill and I wanted to drive our drummer Dreux crazy by pretending to do some off-beat shakers and maracas.  Our goal was to be taken &quot;seriously&quot;, but no one bought it.  Not for one second. Here&apos;s a vid of some of our shenanigans:                                                    And here are some pics as well!!!Stay tuned as our recording gets closer and closer to completion!!!Lauren&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PsXnzoOp0XA/St1UNUSdzlI/AAAAAAAAAAw/UYJs0xFQYQM/s1600-h/IMG_3180.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PsXnzoOp0XA/St1UN4wCSBI/AAAAAAAAAA4/ULcJcz_64mE/s1600-h/IMG_3198.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PsXnzoOp0XA/St1UOcPIZII/AAAAAAAAABA/0Vg0cvdQ3SI/s1600-h/IMG_3209.jpg&quot;&gt;</description>
