I really love any time and space in the recording studio ... Can you
tell us how it is you go about your recording ... where you record ...
and your favorite parts of the process ???
BC: We agree that anytime spent in the studio is great, whether
we are recording or rehearsing. We are extremely fortunate that
we have Black Cat Studio and an arsenal of vintage and modern
guitars, basses, amplifiers, keyboards, you name it, at our disposal.
Couple that with a great engineer, Alan Rand, and the process is
precise and easy.
MBW:
As everyone might know ... by now ... I have a major crush on Manhattan ... and I love to give my readers
every insight I can dig up from the people who make living in NYC so fun and exciting ... so I ask you all to describe a perfect day and night in Manhattan ???
Don: A perfect day and night in Manhattan is preparing for a gig ... The right clothes, the right shoes, the
right amount of hair spray, the right guitar, the right
set list.... A great set at our favorite club in front of our
favorite friends and bands ... And then a late night
snack at Veselka again with our friends of the Rock n
Roll New York night!
Andrew: I am sure inquiring minds want to know
what I feel a perfect day in NYC is… so I will tell you! I
like to be out and about early to get an espresso or two,
a quick bite and chew the fat with a few locals. Then
head up to one of my favorite restaurants, stopping
and speaking with my friends along the way. After a
fantastic lunch and some wine I go to the Met and go
back in time for a few hours. Then I walk to one of my
favorite watering holes and spend time with my pals.
I end the night at a friends restaurant and have some
more wine capped off with an espresso and desert.
MBW: How about shopping and where you love to go
out to eat and dine and dance etc. ???
Don: I shop in a mix of vintage stores around the East
Village, Greenwich Village, and the Lower East Side
and mix it in with my past finds at Trash and Vaudeville, Love Saves the Day or Reminiscence ... As for eating, I love New York because wherever you are standing you are in front of some new place to sample!!!...
