The Kitchen Sessions

The Kitchen Sessions was an idea that spawned from me living in a friends kitchen for the first 6 months or so when I moved to Los Angeles. With nothing but my guitar and a suitcase of clothes I didn't need much closet space. Its all about traveling light. My small kitchen bedroom in North Hollywood actually wasn't that bad I must say. It definitely had its drawbacks like in the middle of the night when a roommate needs a drink or something. Opening the fridge is basically the equivalent of someone coming into your room and turning the overhead light on. The light from the fridge would fill the room and then there was nothing better than when they would decide they needed a couple ice cubes too. God forbid they have a drink of water in the middle of the night that isn't properly chilled. This process of getting ice cubes is not something that can be done very quietly, trust me. Though it probably doesn't sound like it, I was never very bothered by my kitchen setup. Other than a few minor annoyances I really couldn't complain. I was on the other side of the country with nothing but hope...and the possibility that a move to a bigger place was in the near future.


I was working on some new songs for the next CD and I came up with the idea of doing a few of the demos using nothing but things from the kitchen to make all the beats and sounds to the song. Matt wanted to be a part of the demos and bring his drum expertise to the table, so he flew out. Basically, he couldn't resist the idea of getting drunk and hitting shit in the kitchen. Who doesn't like slamming some pots and pans together? So we got some cheap wine and a camera and went to work in the kitchen. You can check out the video below for a little preview and we will be releasing the full songs on our website in the next month or so. Cheers-tiM
