What a great week in the studio, I was able to finish my last five solos on Friday, love it when a plan comes together....accidentally or not! haha All we have left are colors, things like percussion (I gotta have more COWBELL), guitar vibe stuff, keyboard textures (maybe), gregorian chants (who knows) and anything else the songs seem to need. This will be the last thing before we're ready to mix so we'll take some time to listen to roughs while Neil is working on another project and hopefully sort out the scheduling for the mix soon! We're all really excited, everything is sounding killer!
Hey guys....the moons have aligned and we'll be able to hit the studio again with our producer, Neil Kernon. We'll be in at Rax Trax for evening sessions all week so it'll be nice to finally get a good head of steam rolling. At this point, it's looking like the album will contain 10 tracks, the other two songs that were recorded during initial tracking sessions will be put on the back burner for now.
Happy New Year everyone, we'd like to extend well wishes to you and yours for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2009, one that's filled with plenty of Ion Vein, stay tuned!
Hope you're doing great.....got a fun gig coming up, a Halloween bash with our good friends Sacred Dawn....already hearing about some killer costumes so come out and join the party...see the attached flyer. Sacred Dawn hits the stage first, followed by us and probably a band to close.

At the last minute, Helloween's management decided that no local bands will be supporting the tour in the United States. Ion Vein will NOT be playing the gig tonight at the Pearl Room. Please let your fellow veinites know. We are sorry for the late notice, this was a decision by Helloween's Management.
