The Arkanes, May 6th 2010.

The Arkanes (Liverpool, UK), 2-Track recorded.
Thursday May 6th 2010, ‘Gouwestad Radio Studio 2’ Gouda.
Tracks: Sharpshooter/Fistfull Of Anger/Set Fire To The Scene (Tk 1)/Set Fire To The Scene (Tk 2)/Don’t Act Like You Know Me/Fingerpainting On The Wall/Silly Boy

Note: Liverpudlian band dropping by for a full-blown electric set in an empty studio. After a short night, with hardly any breakfast the band arrived in the studio, having lost their way in Gouda center at first. Initially they didn’t feel like carrying their stuff to the studio the who 2 yards, but were convinced to do so in the end. After some cursing, messing about and a not too easy soundcheck (Due to the fact the studio lacks any monitorring), they recorded a really great live-session, with hardly any breakdown. ‘Set Fire To The Scene’ got two takes, as they didn’t like the first one. It’s hardly audible their guitarist only joined them two weeks before

To realise this session, I broke almost every single studio rule: NEVER disconnect the mikes of Studio 1, don’t carry around with furniture, NEVER put up fully amped bands, DON’T annoy the neighbours, don’t eat food in the studio itself. I only forgot to break the ‘no Smoking’ and ‘No Alcohol’ rules. Maybe better next time ;).
