Its been a not so cruel summer and as autumn comes I find myself recording a new album. I don’t know why but this always seems to happen in the fall, my favorite time of year. For the pa
st couple months Bart & The Art Thieves have been playing a lot of new material at shows throughout California and audiences are enjoying new tunes such as ‘Fuck Fame’, ‘On Your Own Planet’ and ‘Dust In The Circuits of Love’. This week its time to commit those songs to tape at Infrasonic in east LA. Many thanks to Lovemonk Records in Madrid for helping to make this happen! We have Luke Top wearing the almighty Producer’s Hat. Luke has worked with the Papercuts, Cass McCombs and my pals Willow Willow as well as fronting his own band, Fool’s Gold. So far, he’s been getting some unique and interesting drum sounds. Here’s a photo of drummer, Paul Burkhart making some very serious music with us in the studio.
In other news: ‘Someone2Dance’ is featured in a new film called SMASHED and it opens on October 12th in LA and NYC. A soon to be released soundtrack album will include myself, Smog, Richard & Linda Thompson, Cass McCombs and Sonny & The Sunsets along with a score by Andy Cabic (Vetiver) and Eric Johnson (Fruitbats).
Our next LA show will be exclusively at the Satellite in Silverlake and don’t miss it because after that, I’m off to Portland and then onto Europe for a tour! More on that later…
