LADYSTEIN HEADS TO THE RECORDING STUDIO!

This past weekend, Ladystein was busy at work on their new album! They were in the studio all weekend till the wee hours of the morning making sure that this will be the most rockingist album ever! Here are some pics of the experience:

Lori isn't sure about the drums.


Alana is ready!


Annie is ready...to eat an apple.

So is Kate.

Hours of music playing later, Annie hones her drumstick twirling skills.


Lori is exhausted!

Alana and Kate in the studio - note the glorious Casiotone in the background.

Even in their down time, Lori and Annie are rock stars.

Alana gets in on the rock star action.


Kate lovingly records her crucial omnichord part.

Lori sings like an angel!

So does Alana!

Kate is obscured by the microphone.

Alana ends the day with some yogurt on a palm tree stirrer. In the studio, you've got to make it work, Tim Gunn style!

WHERE HAS LADYSTEIN BEEN ALL MY LIFE???

Dear Internet community:

We know we have been terribly delinquent on the whole keeping-this-blog-up-to-date front, and you're probably pretty peeved at us right now. Well...we're sorry. We promise that in 2008, we'll keep you informed of our every move, right here on this blog. For realsies!

As for what you've missed since our last blog posting of (eek!) July 13, 2007. Well....here is a recap:

Mid July-September: It was very hot. Very, very hot. So hot that months later, Al Gore would win a Nobel Peace Prize. During this heat wave, Ladystein was on rock sabbatical, spending most of their time eating popsicles and sticking their faces in front of air conditioners to prevent getting "the vapors."

October: It got a little less hot. Ladystein stopped being on sabbatical and started planning their world-renowned Christmas spectacular. Al Gore wins that previously mentioned Nobel.

November: Complete tryptophan-enduced coma.

December: Ladystein delivers 4th annual Christmas Spectacular at Pianos! People of the world rejoice in Christmas merriment!

And now that brings us to 2008. Right now, Ladystein is preparing to record their second album! We're pretty amped about the whole thing and have been practicing and doing vocal exercises like mad! Get ready for this album - it will make 2008 rocktacular!

Oh, and we have a few performances up our sleeves, so check back on that front! You've been briefed!
