These guys spent 14-days recording here at Reber Recording in Muncie, Indiana. Sadly, the record label that was footing the bill (ahem.. Mossback Records) ended up crashing and burning in a horribly unpleasant mess of poverty and despair. However, like a magnificent phoenix, The Bonesetters are unshook. They are determined to find the necessary funds to get their album off of the studio shelf and into the ears of their fans. BUT THEY NEED YOUR HELP!!!! Please donate whatever money you can spare and help them to put out this record. They have worked really hard to make it sound as large and amazing as possible. They really really really really want you to hear it. I want you to hear it as well. So, let’s make it happen! Open up your digital wallets and make it rain!
Muncie Madness
I’m back in Muncie after a two-week stint in Chicago. Here’s a brief breakdown of the reasons I have returned…
- My grandfather has been admitted to the hospital due to complications with his health.
- I miss my family (Family, Fiance, Cats and Friends)
- I have a 4 day recording session with Mikey Mason to track songs for his Impotent Nerd Rage album.
- Oh, and last but not least… Over the past couple of weeks my car has become increasingly unreliable. Being that one of my biggest fears deals with my car breaking down in the midst of Chicago traffic, I took it to Honda so that they could do a thorough inspection and figure out what’s causing it to act so sketchy. In the meantime, Honda has given me a sweet 2007 Honda Civic to abuse. I’m now on a mission to see how many miles I can put on this rental before I have to cough it up.
So there you have it ladies and gentlemen… You are up to date. I’m not going to bore you with all of the details of my internship at the fancy shmancy Electrical Audio… If you want to know about that stuff you will have to check out FrankReber.com because this site is strictly business, people.
Home 4 The Weekend
My Fiance, Lauren, surprised me by driving up to Chicago the other day. She had been in communication with Richard regarding this secret visit. I was psyched to see her. It’s not often that we are apart for more than a few hours at a time.
Today we woke up early and had breakfast at The White Palace Grill. We haven’t been to TWPG in over a year so we were excited to eat there again. It was just as awesome as I remember it. Nothing like a good meal before making the 4-hour drive back to Muncie for Father’s Day weekend. I’m looking forward to seeing my family!
I’ll be back in Chicago on Sunday.
Farewell Muncie… At least for now.
Tomorrow I will be packing my bags and moving to Chicago, Illinois to stay with my good friends Erick Sherman and Richard Knapp for the duration of my 2-3 month internship at the esteemed Electrical Audio recording studio. I’m psyched about the internship and yet at the same time I’m bummed to be leaving behind my beautiful fiance and two cats for the next couple of months. I’m also going to miss my family, friends, and my recording studio. I’m at the studio on a daily basis so it’s going to be weird to be away from it for weeks at a time. I’m still going to be making the voyage back to Muncie on a somewhat regular basis for work but it’s not the same as being there every day.
Right now I’m making a list of things that I need to take with me. I am going to be staying on a couch in a living room so I want to pack pretty light. I’m going to be taking a portable recording studio with me so that I can continue to work on my own music and do some basic mixing. Well, I’m going to wrap this up because I need to get back to packing… Can’t lose focus!
Take it easy!
