The plan

Hey, hope you all had a great summer like I did!  I just got back from San Francisco a couple of weeks ago.  Great city, cool sites!

The 2 Fear Zero shows in August went quite well, considering it was the first time all 4 of us have ever graced a stage together in over a year.  We performed a mix of old tunes and new ones to a couple of crowds over 1,000 which was pretty damn cool!  Hopefully we can snag a nice tour with a bigger act so we can get out and play some more.

Video and fan o’ the month

Hey everyone, hope your summer has been as great as mine has!  We have a some shows coming up August 8 and 9 in Victoria and we need your smiling mugs to be front row center when we shoot a couple of videos at the beginning of our second set at Western Speedway.  For info, go to the “Tour” page. The videos will be for the songs Whole Damn Nation and Last Photograph so get your lighters ready!

A while back, Eric sent out an e-mail regarding our street team.

Fear Zero gets studio tanned

Hey everyone, just got a good head start on my studio tan.  Sorry the blog is late but we have been working like dogs for  days now getting final pre-production done on the new tracks.

Pre-pro is where the producer comes in and basically changes any song arrangements that need to be changed (minimally on these songs thank goodness) and then goes through drum arrangements to make sure every fill, every groove, every nuance of the drum track is exactly what the song needs.  Very time consuming and boring at times but very necessary for the final quality of the drum track.  Gone are the days of drinking all day, heading to the studio at midnight to pop some acid then record a whole album in one take.  Recording is a science now.
