9 Volt Junkie tunes are up!

[Illiciter]

So last night we listened to the live clips we took off the soundboard from our show sunday at the casino, called the Voodoo Lounge and decided to post a couple snippets from the show up on the interwebs.

Please, take a listen, critique me if you want or just say hey that f*cking rocks, yo - I'll take it all in stride. I'm just excited we finally got tunes to share with people.

Also just added an acoustic track... vocals seem a little muted, but it still came out ok for a garage recording

Sweet! Hope you like it!

We also just found out there's some youtube videos floating around from our show at aftershock another one of the bands threw up, the sound isn't that fantastic at all but you can hear some tuneage and watch me hop around on stage and bobble my head.. I'm on the left - I totally forgot about the "9 Volt!" chant in the 3rd video :

So, I just gave your songs a listen. Really like the acoustic version of "Pieces" even though it is muted like you said. Like the guitar picking. Could listen to this song alot.

Also, like Doobie Funk for the most part. Started to really enjoy it about the 1:20 mark right after someone says, "I wanna hear all you Mother F'ers sing this." haha. This song has a lot of static "popping" coming through my speakers. Would be nice to hear a "cleaner" version.

Also, what's the "5 F'ing minutes" part about? lol.

So, you the lead singer? guitar player?

Wish you could host a download of a cleaner version of Pieces. I want that song.

Yeah the live recordings were taken right off the soundboard patched into a MAC. For a soundboard patch they came out real good. The popping is from the vocals being hot, apparently the sound guy just kept hitting the clip button but never really adjusted the level. He told us about it and warned us, so I can't fault the guy, he did badass everywhere else and if you were there you would have had your face melted. He was the tech for Buckethead and Flea.

Our vocalist was dropping F bombs like they were going out of style that night. The "5 F'n minutes" was the last of our set.. he was trying to work the crowd over. He does a great job being frontman, but the F bombs could go.

I play the rhythm guitar. Our lead guitar gets to do all the solos until we get our newer tunes on the live set, then I'll get to trade leads with him and we'll both be rhythm/lead players.

Wish you could host a download of a cleaner version of Pieces. I want that song.

When you say cleaner do you mean with the vocals raised up a bit? I had the drummer raise up the vocals to try and bring them out a bit more, I guess it could always use more. You tell me! I know we got our own opinions about what we would like to do differently in the studio

glad you like the tunes, we go into the studio this month to track a demo, so we'll get much better versions of the songs up soon, we were just eager to get something decent enough so people who are unsure if they want to see us can test drive us.
