Finishing Recording

Today Chupacabraz will be heading into the studio to hopefully finish our first album, Release the Evil. It's been a protracted affair, suffering starts and very long stops due to economics, busy schedules, and any other thing that you can throw at a band that doesn't really have time to make the band a priority. With the icing being put on the cake today we should be able to reproduce this within the next few months, again subject to budget constraints (how much does it cost to get an album reproduced?) and hopefully be selling this thing soon so that we can get a return on investment which should lead to maybe more recordings. This means that we'll probably be looking for gigs again to promote the album. After not gigging for somewhere near seven months, after Angel Radio last Tuesday the band got onstage on a whim and started rocking out. There's a very special chemistry and energy with this band when it's clicking. Stripped down and without playing together for months we delivered a strong, if short, set. I get a real kick out of Angel Radio, but there's something else that happens when you've got a full band charging ahead and plowing things over with this big sound. Angel Radio would be a smooth cool Smart Car buzzing through the lanes, Chupacabras would be a '57 Chevy, big and taking up the road. To be honest, interest has waned with the lack of gigging and the long time this recording has taken (by my accounts it's going on three years) but that mini-gig electrocuted me and brought some real enthusiasm back for me and finishing the album signals a step forward. It's been a long time coming, this step forward, but now it's here and it's one giant leap for the band. I hope that old fans will find something to come back to, and we can get some new fans in the process. Here are some links if you wanna get an idea of how we sound, if you haven't been to a gig.
