DAILYMC

This is a track written by Kate, Jase & I. We were just in the midst of changing from BBT to DAILY Mk1 with Dave replacing Malcom on gtr (Young Glen was to join at a later date) So, we didn't have a guitarist, but seeing as I'd come up with the gtr riff, we decided to go in to the studio just the 3 of us, with me laying down both the drums and Gtr. This was recorded at GrapeVine Studios, a great little studio where I had the pleasure in rehearsing in many of my very first bands in the early 80's during my early teens (yep! THAT long ago!)
So, the year is approx 1993, & I borrowed my then girlfriends Black 1962 Telecaster, the same one I had borrowed in '91 when we recorded Perfect Day & 4 Lines.... (Many thanks Annabelle x) I had in my possession a 10 watt Rhino Amp, tiny little thing that I still use as a headphone monitor whilst recording vocals in MACKYS STUDIO. This amp has a history unto itself, as it is the very first piece of equipment that was sold by Gary Marshal, a very good pal of mine that had just opened a shop in Brighton called GAK.  I had been practising the feedback parts of the song, I knew I could get the desired sound, the right feedback tone with this amp, & so, the sound engineer that recorded & mixed this track, great friend of ours that run Grapevine Studious, Dom, mic'ed up my little 10 watt Rhino, & I must say, hearing it now, still sounds great! Just goes to show, don't necessarily NEED the best equipment, as long as you get the desired sound. I have used some mad bits of old kit over the years to get my desired sounds. Obviously, hi-end equipment speaks for itself, but there's ALWAYS room for experimentation!...
Having spoken to my Brother just recently about this particular song, we both agree that it was a kind of 'mini-milestone' as our sound, as well as personal, appeared to be evolving.
