Toaster Fires is the most recent EP.  It was recorded By Brian Koehler out of Topsoil studios in Oshkosh WI.  It was then mastered by Ramie Espinoza at Firebird recording in Milwaukee, WI.  Recording began in October of 2007 and the EP was completed on December 8th 2007.  The album was recorded live.  (i.e. both C-Note and I recorded our parts simultaneously). With the exception of the bass guitar and organ tracks which were over dubbed afterwards.  Also C-Note over dubbed some percussion fill and backup vocals.  Thank you to Brian Koehler and Ramie Espinoza.  Thank you to Matt Koch for your production management, thank you to the Oshkosh La Quinta where we braved many a cold night, and thank you to the American Table on Main in Oshkosh for keeping us well fed.

Monkey Highway was recorded in the fall of 2004 and was completed by early spring 2005.  The album was recorded live i.e. each player laid down their tracks at the same time.  Except for the Vocals which were originally recorded as "scratch" tracks and later over dubbed on a separate track.  This allows the singer to give direction to his band mates while recording and also eliminates the affect of other tracks bleeding onto the vocal line.  Thank you very much to Ramie Espinoza for being so supportive and helpful during the recording process.  We appreciate that Ramie took the time to watch and listen to us perform (he even sat in and jammed with us).  It helped the band to capture exactly what we had envisioned for Monkey Highway.

I signed Merry Christmas Bullshit over to paramount group, but I still like our version better.  “Being a Local Musician” was done in 2006 for a college project.

This album is fun to listen to if you want a good laugh and to see how far we've come, but it is not recommended for listening pleasure.  This album was never titled because it was originally recorded so that I could catalog and copyright my material...which we did in case you wanted to steal something.  I recorded 7 songs with Nate Schreiber and Adam "Moose" Dahlstrom.  This was the original band.  Back when we were calling ourselves the King Soul Assembly.  I also recorded 11 other songs solo/acoustic.  We used the trio songs later on to get us our first shows.  When we recorded this we were too green.  We hadn't played a show yet aside from the WUHS Variety Show. There are many mistakes and lessons learned on this album.  We recorded the album in a basement studio in Oak Creek.  All of the tracks were laid down separately, which we no longer do any more.  I am playing an electric guitar which I no longer use.

The acoustic part of the Miracle Sound sessions is a bit more bearable to digest than the band portion, just because there was less that could go wrong.  Most people end up choosing Rain as the stand out song on this album.  While I enjoy These streets of Mine from the Trio portion.  But that is mostly because I like the song not the recording so much.  This album was put together during my "bedroom artist" phase.  The bedroom artist phase is any time when an artist does most of his playing in his bedroom, or at home.  The tell tale signs of a bedroom artist are; quiet, soft songs where the artist always seems to be holding back.  This is the natural result from constantly trying not to disturb your nieghbors.
