Marching Through March

This month has been a triumphant achievement of intense work. In order to meet our deadline with Mike Senior (who writes Mix Rescue for Sound On Sound magazine), we've been spending a good thirty hours a week mixing 54 and adding extra sounds and layers. Well yesterday, we finally finished it. It feels really weird to say that, and I don't really believe it. We submitted the mp3 to Mike and await his response with much anticipation as he will give his final decision on whether or not he'll remix it.

We think that his decision will be based on what work he could do to improve it, and if it will be enough for him to write his article on. If he says yes, then we'll get an incredibly good mix from him and some great publicity in the magazine. If he says no, then we could become victims of our own success; our fingers remain tightly crossed.

In the mean time, Marc and Pete have been 'bandminning' to their hearts' content: applying for festivals, booking gigs and making some brilliant press packs.

Our focus will now shift back onto the really creative side of our job. We'll be doing a lot more writing, as wells as creating concepts for our first music video and photo shoots. Exciting times!
