Welcome back everyone! I’ve been really busy for the past several weeks, so theres a slight backlog on the videos. I finally completed day 2 of the studio recording video. It shows the recording process with the very important metronome. Aaron’s quote about the click track sounding like Pac Man was priceless! As for the EP, its about 95% complete now, just a few things to touch up before we send the CDs off for production. The album title is still being finalized as with the artwork. Stay tuned…
By the way, check out the video in HQ. Its recorded in HD and the audio is like 10x better.
We’ve been getting questions on when our next show will be. We’ll plan on having a local Riverside area show early next year with another show in LA/Hollywood right after.
Affinity Zero is busy working on the CD with album cover art, re-recording the guitar parts on some of the tracks, and most importantly — the name of the album (which we have decided last night during dinner).
Videos from the studio session (Day 2 and Day 3) will be posted on the site within the next week or so. We’ll probably have some live rehearsal videos added from last night’s practice too.
Here’s a video montage of our 1st day of recording our upcoming EP release at Lunchbox Studios. We spent all day tracking drums to the songs, along with Al putting down scratch guitar and guitar tracks. The recording is going through pretty fast, with drums being completed on all 7 songs in 1 day. Tomorrow, we’ll be tracking Doug’s vocals, bass, and Al will be recording the guitars. We’ll be updating the site with more videos throughout the studio recording session.
We are currently working on finalizing our songs for the upcoming EP release “My Epiphany”. The EP has a darker theme in comparison to our previous release and it has a more cohesive feel. The musical style of the release ranges from hard rock, alternative rock, and rockabilly. We plan on having video footage of the studio recording sessions, which will start at the end of November. The EP will be released in early 2009.
We are also re-recording two songs from our last album “Frustration” and a new and improved version of “Consequences” at the studio.

Daynah suits up in a Vader costume and does a cool dance to our cover of the Star Wars Imperial March. We usually play this song to open our shows.
Our next show is at Stingers Night Club & Bar. The headlining act is 80’s rock band Gene Loves Jezebel . The venue is really nice with a great sound system, pool tables, and a dance area.
