Centro-matic World August 16-18, 2009

Here’s a video blog, of sorts, from Centro-matic about August 16-18, 2009.

August 16– Good Records hosts an exhibition of Matt Pence’s photos and Will Johnson’s paintings. Will and Scott Danbom played some songs, and included is Riot Jack from Will’s Murder of Tides album. Somebody forgot to charge the camera battery, or more would be included from that show.

August 17– Centro-matic begins work on album #9 (or is it #10?) at the Echo Lab in Argyle, TX. Scott Solter is producing along with Matt Pence. The overlay music is some guitar tracks from the first song we started, “Around, Pullin’ Vines”. Day one means lots of work for Matt Pence and Scott Solter.

August 18– A few studio shots from the first day of actual recording. With a nice little Danbomian piano moment to round out the day.

Rat Patrol and DJs video!!!

We spent a few hours in front of Dan’s Silverleaf in Denton, TX on a very warm summer day. Here’s the video we made. It’s all one shot with no edits. We did it 16 times to get it right. Our friend Mark Ray did all the cool animations on top of the HD footage we shot. Hope you like it.
