January to July 2005
This was a year of many changes including the total restructuring of the first CD from a big 10-song production to a 4-song EP, a format we're going to follow for the next few recordings. Mike D more or less quit the band so Chris Refano filled in as a session bass player which led to additional tracking performances by him including electric & acoustic guitars, mandolin, and toy piano.
Working out new piano tracks for "Abandoned"
Chris looks hungry...or perhaps he's in dire need of a toilet
The A-man making due with the un-weighted keyed, ancient Fatar controller
Re-arranging...re-composing...augmenting...all dat good sh*t
Jim bought this b-e-a-utiful Taylor acoustic-electric a few months back, which of course made us re-record many tracks - but oh man was it worth it.
Replacement keyboard...aaaahhhhh
Who's phone was ringing?
In July, A-man and his father (former Argus guitarist/keyboardist) Chris performed at the Muddy Cup down in Stapleton. It was all original new-age music...very sweeeet.
