Incredulity abounded as Ken finally announced that the CD artwork for “Siren” was finally completed and had gone off to Sound Recording Technology along with the outstanding paperwork. Questions were raised about whether it was rotten or had exploded or both (neither as it turns out). This is the last but one step in the pre-production process. Once we have approved the final art proofs (and paid the outstanding balance) the CD can be sent to the presses. Some time after we will take delivery of a thousand CDs.
It’s taken longer than we would have liked, but given the part-time nature of everyone involved it’s hardly surprising. Changing artwork direction several times didn’t really help, but we’re all happy with the final choices and we’ve preserved some of the original ideas.
Friday’s rehearsal was spent practising the new covers and remembering how to play some of the old ones including Marilyn Manson’s “Fight Song”. A new set list was mentioned as was arranging some gigs.

Some footage of The Love Commandos recording “Siren” has been posted on the Siren page. The quality isn’t great, but it gives you an idea of how we recorded the basic tracks (click track and all). We then overdubbed tracks where necessary, such as vocal tracks and guitar solos.

Website News
As we’ve spent a year or so concentrating on new material, recording and producing an album, it seemed only sensible to update our web presence. Consequently uncle Ken has been hard at work developing a new look website.
The bulk of the site design has been completed and we are busy migrating content.
