July 8: Hit @ Cassette
Plus a new song from Bar Freda, and some clips from the making of LP2
Sup everybody,
Hit is playing Cassette (68-38 Forest Ave, Ridgewood) July 8th, as part of this great Salon Du Health & Efficiency bill with Hallcat and watergh0st. I know I milked the, “this is the first full lineup show in a while, who KNOWS when the next one will be” angle in the newsletter about our last show but, the latter is true of this one too! There’s nothing on the docket past this one, and we’re playing a venue we’ve never played before, which I think is enough to designate this a Destination Show™️. You can get tickets here in advance or at the door day of.
If you come to the show on the 8th, you’ll definitely hear this song we debuted at Bar Freda called “Softlock,” which was captured in its entirety in the clip below. It has some crazy nasty guitar sounds if I do say so myself…
And speaking of crazy nasty sounds, we wrapped up principal drum tracking for Hit Album 2 this weekend. A big part of the whole project has been trying to see how far we can push the effects on the guitars and vocals, but since that alone is enough to piss off any sound guy, the drum setup at our shows has always been pretty straight forward. But fear not, in the studio we’ve been trying to ruin the drums as well. Here’s a clip of the sounds we were getting for a song called “The Big Piece”:
There’s more normal sounds too, here’s a snippet from a song called “Griffey Strum.” Rest of the track is scratch/demo, and this is actually not the take we wound up using, so it’s truly the rare shit you get from subscribing:
These are deep cuts so we probably won’t play ‘em on 7/8, but there’ll be plenty of other massive tunes to listen to and enjoy. Hope to see you there…
Keep Poundin’,
Craig
