The Spades tak with Gord - The Spades - 03-15-2004

Hey Folks,
My name is James McKenty and I play with a band called The Spades. Gord Sinclair is working with us these days on our new album and being a generally wicked guy. Was talking to him today and he said that he feels thier new album is slightly different sounding and possibly a bit heavier. He seems happy with the results and excited to hit the road soon. The album is ofcourse produced by the man that recorded Queens of the stone age and we know that turned out to be a good thing.

Welcome to the hipbase. How did u meet Gord?

Right on, can't wait to hear the new album.

You guys will have to head out west sometime. I'd like to check out your live show, the few songs I've heard sound cool. :thumb:

I believe it was Adam Kasper, also involved with Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.

I like the sound of that. 8)

holy plug batman!

Ya see, I really, really, really don't know what to expect...
It's going to be a heavier album with the producer of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Weezer and Queens Of The Stone Age...

I truly love each of these bands, but are we going to lose Mr. Downie's vocal melody? Is there still going to be passionate progression and subtle sly lyrics... heres hoping that in three weeks we hear one of the best Hip singles of all time...

Kasper was at the boards for "You Know Your Right", the formerlly lost Nirvana song, which in my opinon was just a killer song. It was amazing that it was recorded now ten years ago. Oh, what could have been.

Cheers

Pat

I don't believe the band will turn into a Nickelback clone with Adam Kaspar producing; they arent some band desperate to make the big time, plus its like Gord has said before, they make the music they love to play.

Would you mind asking Gord to send me a rough copy of the album please! That would be great!
I'm kidding of course :lol: But could you imagine wouldn't that be nice!

Gord came out to some of our kingston shows so that is how we met him. He is one of the most easy going guys I've met. We are enjoying music with him. We plan to go east and west this summer. Hip21 do you play music in a band?


- clearlyentranced - 03-16-2004

as a matter of fact I do..


- clearlyentranced - 03-16-2004

then again, I thought most bands played music..


- The Spades - 03-16-2004

ahhh was just wondering. Apologies to one and all if the mention of our band has distracted from the main point of this forum.
