My wife Samantha left for a few weeks to do some work in Tampa Bay.  My friend Mike Wyzik (Ghosts of Blake, Storm the Ohio, Red Door Exchange) and I came up with an idea to write and record a record while she’s away.  We decideed not to talk about it until she was gone.  No ideas, no plan.  All we had was the name Scary Beard.  The day Sam left Mike found a used digital 8 track for $150.  We set up a Roland 707 drum machine a Korg synth and filled the dining room with guitars and pedals.   We wrote and recorded 11 songs in  8 days.  We had some lyric writing sessions with a few special guests and will most likely be done recording on schedule.  We’re going to put similar restrictions on the mix.  Whoever does it gets one day.

It kind of sounds like an electro punk record.  I’ll put up a link as soon as we’re done.  The photo is of the dining room day 1.

I’m almost done with an acoustic EP that will come out under my own name and Haunt is playing at The Basement in Northampton Ma. on Friday Feb. 13th.

Cheers

Matt
