<br />
Moving forward we will upload all future musical tracks via SoundCloud. It makes things much easier than creating a movie file and posting it on Blogger. This will not change the fact that all of our Farm Sessions and live recordings will be available to listen to here at the blog, and available to download directly from our website: <a href="http://www.thesimplegroove.com/">www.thesimplegroove.com</a>.<br />

The first three, "It Won't Mean Much, Bad Timing, and All There Is" have been written in the last few months. The final recording, "Blue Eyes" is our rendition of a Middle Brother song that was released this passed summer.

The two songs 'That Day,' and 'Why Were Here' were written sometime between 2005 and 2006, they have never been played publicly and we are happy to finally get them recorded and presented. Enjoy.<br />

Finished off with our rendition of the popular Johnny Cash song 'Folsom Prison.' Enjoy the listen.<br />

<br />
The Nightswimmers - REM coverband.<br />
Show Venue: Weddings (mostly 2nd weddings as in either the bride or groom had already been married, divorced, and now remarrying.) <br />
<br />
The El Scorcho's - Weezer coverband.<br />
Show Venue: Frat parties galore.<br />
<br />
Come Comanche - Cake coverband<br />
Show Venue: Frat parties galore. The El Scorcho's and Come Comanche would primarily operate on the same bill.<br />
<br />
The Barracudas - A Female Power Band Collective with songs from Heart, Joan Jett, Blondie, Pat Freaking Benetar, Vixen, The Bengals, etc.<br />
Show Venue: Various Low Budget Hotel/Motel Bars<br />
<br />
Mystic Rhythms - Rush coverband with an emphasis (but not limited to) Rush's music catalog from the 80's era.<br />
Show Venue: Side Stages at various stadium tours, amphitheaters. It would be a full time job portraying such awesomeness <br />

Is the first of two separate recordings to feature our old friend TJ Isenburg on guitar. TJ was kind enough to stop in with some cold beers and his new Martin guitar as we played through some old time favorites. Chelsea was not available for this recording so it's rare that I'll do so many songs on my own. I had forgotten what I sounded like, and there are a few parts where I can pick out the rust on my massive three note vocal range. Nonetheless, I don't think there is anything better than shooting the breeze with an old friend and having a good recording to show for it.<br />
<br />
The songs, 'Singing On The Moon' was one of the first songs I've ever written, however, it has never been recorded. This recording is the first take, and it's definitely one of the best sounding versions I've ever heard. 'All I Really Need' and 'Unrecognized' both appear on the Coming Up Slowly album, but these versions provide a nice twist. Finally, 'The Lawn Song' has only been played on a hand full of occasions live.<br />

We did many takes of each song, and played around with the mixing and mastering. This session also marks the first release of the song 'i tried' and the first time in 3 years we have played 'climbing up the walls' (Radiohead). Lastly, 'wild country' (Chris Whitley) has been a song we have been trying to complete since 2005, we've never felt more satisfied with it's outcome than we have in this recording. <br />

Moments after this note we will release our first studio recording under the 'Farm House Sessions' title. This is a project we began over two years ago and it is our pleasure to present to you what we work on as a creative music outlet on a regular basis. We will be releasing a vast array of music from cover songs, to newly written material. From obsessively rehearsed songs to single takes that may not be revisited. From guest musicians, to side projects, this is our outlet for the music we like to hear and play. It is a constant work in progress both from a musicians standpoint as well as an engineering and mastering point of view. All songs posted here for your listening pleasure are available to download, free of charge, at <a href="http://www.thesimplegroove.com/">www.thesimplegroove.com</a>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135271395626451253.post-56451940336179447142010-12-05T17:21:00.002-05:002010-12-06T15:23:00.594-05:00The Simple Groove & The Pond FishFor years I have been lobbying to change the band name from 'The Simple Groove' to 'The Pond Fish.' Obviously, it never passed through management. It is not that I dislike the name 'The Simple Groove' I just prefer how the three syllables of 'The Pond Fish' roll off of the tongue. I like how the pond fish that live in my pond just kind of hang out, on their own agenda, without much of a worry. It is very similar to how The Simple Groove operates. We don't have a time line, we don't have a goal, and we certainly don't have a break-even point. We don't worry about booking shows, or clearing cost. We keep it simple: Try to get together on a weekly basis, and at the very least, talk about music. Ahhhh, simple...now I remember why the current band name is in place.<br />
<br />
Anywho, over the past two years, we have started to piece together an extensive book of both original, and covered music. While at the same time, building up on our equipment to have a decent recording studio. One option with this is to record another album. But then we run into the issue of releasing an album. Production costs, duplication, marketing, touring, no thank you. That part of the music industry just doesn't interest me. <br />
<br />
Therefore, we would like to present the official blog of The Simple Groove; The Pond Fish. The blog will insight our general music collections, as well as our original recordings. More specifically, the recordings we will be presenting are all live recordings from our farm house studio uniquely titled: 'The Farm House Sessions.' These sessions will be posted on the blog for your listening pleasure and will also be available for download, for free, at <a href="http://www.thesimplegroove.com">www.thesimplegroove.com</a>. <br />

So for our dozens of followers out there, hopefully this answers the question 'What's new with The Simple Groove.'Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
