So a while later we organised to record proper demos at JuJu where we rehearse, we turned up, ripped through each song in a single take and were done in a couple of hours, that was really great fun actually. Li Wei Yu did a brilliant job – we wanted to catch our live sound so kept everything really neutral. We were really happy with the end result and all set to put the tracks on Douban when something happened that changed everything.

One of our friends sent his mate Andrew Moon who makes these amazing drone records as RST copies of the session and he offered to mix it for us in his shed in Auckland where he does all his own stuff. Andrew completely got what we were after and we think really captured the raw sort of angry sound we try for when we play. Anyway, after we had listened to the first track he completed (Machine) we sat there for a bit then Dario said ; “cazzo, do you think that’s good enough for a CD?”

So the past few weeks have been a blur of hand painting, folding, stuffing and writing putting the CD together. We thought about professional pressing and production but we didn’t set out to make that sort of thing and Lenz really wanted to let her creative spirit loose and hand make everything. We ordered the tracks and then created a master of sorts on a laptop and we’ve been burning out our CD writers ever since.

We have put two of the tracks up on Douban today and we are giving the CDs away at the “We all love Mr Zhang Music Festival 2011” gig at Yuyintang on November 4th where we will be playing as second band. The CD is also available on our bandcamp site for free download and mp3s on our Douban page.
