First and foremost a few bits of news!

We had a great interview and show with 98Rock as part of their Noise in the Basement series. Always a good time to hang out with Matt Davis and the other folks up there and a real honor to have the first live spin of our single ‘Shine’ played on 98rock. You can check out the interview and single at the link below…

Good Morning Good People of the Post-Rapture world… wait did that even happen?Eitherway, Dropping Sully made it through the weekend recording with our good friend, Scotty O’Toole of Main Street Recording (his mobile recording company… Find them on FB if you are interested in a super solid and affordable recording option for your next project). We had set up on Friday night, a small set back Saturday morning (the Firebird was placed on the DL before the session even began, but that is a story for another time), tons of great tracking on Saturday and then a solid throw down of vocals and guitar tracks on Sunday. Scotty was super helpful and great to work with encouraging us to get our best takes of the moment even when it meant another full take or whatever. Ryan and Tommy got their rhythm tracks all squared on Saturday and Andy and Chris remained through Sunday for overdubs and vocals. The rough mixes sounded really promising when we closed it down yesterday evening. Stay tuned for a behind the scenes look at the recording process…

Our good friend Jason of the Soul Island Rebels shot this for us.  It’s called: Shine.  We will be recording this for our album in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned

Just finished a solid getdown at Pure Wine Cafe. A tasty ‘headed home>I shall be released > she came in through the bathroom window’ to close the evening gave a great cap to a night that saw 2 original debuts and a few new covers. See you at the Phoenix Emporium next friday!

Here is another original tune that we recorded at the Icehouse.  Enjoy while drinking some Natty Bohs and watching the O’s.

Just a quick heads up everyone. Previously we mentioned getting a new recording device. Well here we have the fruits of it’s labor! Andy and Chris filmed an impromptu acoustic mini-set in the middle of a jam at the fabled Icehouse and have started posting the performances to YouTube. The first tune is ‘No Utopia’. A great jam that gets the acoustic duo treatment. Enjoy. Share with your friends and let us know what you think!
