I kept telling Fade I would do this, so I figured I would get off my ass and do it. Especially since I have a new album right around the corner and a huge announcement to go with it that I am just not ready to say yet. Anyway on to the tour.
So I use this space to create all the Drunk Pedestrians music and I am rehearsing a new band called "The Davenport Brothers" That I am pretty excited about. I also believe this will become the rehearsal space for the other band I am in "Flannel Channel" Ok here we go
Here is the welcome mat to the studio
Then the view down the stairs with of course Drunk Pedestrian artwork
The door on the right is storage for cables and misc studio items. I also put a bed in the there for when the party goes too long for someone and they need to crash. Probably the most useful thing in the studio
What you see as you first walk in
To the left is Aaron Hills live rig, for Davenport Brothers. No one will remember but Aaron and I played in Ivory Hill together years ago and we toured all over. You can hear that band here and here is an old video of Ivory Hill live, this was pre smart phone. Wow that was a long time ago. Aaron actually hired me just to be the touring bass player for Ivory Hill, eventually I would become a full fledged member of the band. Amazing that it became a lifelong friendship and collaboration. Aaron put out an amazing solo album called "Occasus" (Produced by the great Joshua James btw) That you should totally check out. My favorite song on that record is "Treason" one of my favorite songs of his that he wrote. He is an amazing musician and I love that we can write and work together again. He also sang and co wrote "Girlfriend" on the next Drunk Pedestrians album. He obviously is using a Nord Eletro 4, He plays Takamine guitars
Here you can see all the guitar cases ready to hit the road lmao
Rehearsal rig and more Drunk Pedestrian art.
Rhythm section side
This is my amp rig for mid sized shows its an Ampeg B1 amp with a Trace Elliot 1x15 for the low end and an Orange 4x10 for punch
Here are my main two touring basses, one is an old Yamaha that I have owned for 25+ years now. It has been rebuilt over and over and now has active/passive pickup and the works. That was my main bass in Ivory Hill. The other is a pretty standard fender P. That is my main bass in Flannel Channel. When Im gigging out (none in 2020 sadly) I have these gone through at least once a month by a tech. Only strap locks for me. Fun fact one time when Flannel Channel was opening for Puddle of Mudd my strap fell off DURING MY BASS SOLO PART We were doing a cover of Combersome (the bass solo is at about 2:25 in that video. THATS when the fell off. ) I didn't miss a note but it was a struggle. From that show on, I only use strap locks.
Here is my bass pedal board for live and studio fun. I can get about any tone I want out of this thing. Obviously I love Aguilar gear. That Pork & Pickle can get nasty though, probably one of my favorite pedals ever.
Gotta have some fun sometimes...
This is the messy guitar side. I thought about cleaning this place up a bit more but I kinda want to show it as it is day in and day out. This is a WORKING studio and rehearsal space and we beat this place up. Oh this is all in the basement of my house BTW.
This is the pedal board Zack is kinda using right now. Zack is the brains behind Flannel Channel check him signing here and here He is amazing artist in his own right, super awesome to get him and Aaron in a band together.
Now off to the control room
