I already mentioned Scott, our producer, is in town these days. Primarily to check the recordings made in NY and to extract the best ones. Today we're recording some guitars in a familiar spot: The Wisseloord studios in Hilversum. Funny story about that place to tell: our engineer back in NY (Neil Dorfsmann) once worked on the famous Hysteria record of Def Leppard here at the Wisseloord studios for months alongside the legendary producer Mutt Lange, husband of Shania Twain (name dropping, got good at that ever since we've been in NY). Neil told us the Wisseloord studio got his name from that legendary recording session. It lasted a staggering 3 years. The producer insisted the guitars were recorded string by string and drums had to be recorded at the nearby swimming pool because the sound was awesome. Those were the days. I suggested we'd do the same but unfortunately nobody fell for that… Anyway, at the Wisseloord we're on known territory because here's where we recorded the 'As Long As You Want This' album and the 'What if' was mixed here by Tim Palmer. Mind blowing exciting sessions of table tennis were played here during breaks with Tim. All won by us, off course. And b-sides, one with the longest title ever: 'Christmas Time Won't Be The Same Without You But Maybe Next Year It Will', and 'Moment Of Truth', were recorded here. Good to be back. µ
Two days later and three songs more. Today's Saturday and single 2 is almost finished. Everybody's excited! Sounds awesome. But we got a tight schedule and we're now working on track 4. Meanwhile girlfriends, buddies, record company friends, publishing mates and visual artists drop in. Amongst them Reyn, friend of the family, who played some string-music. Great to record in Holland but at the same time it's distracting. Different then recording in a studio on a mountain near Woodstock, where you gotta take in groceries for a week or take a stroll for 2 hours for that milk.
To be continued!

The musicians Sterling Campbell and Gail Ann Dorsey are collaborating with the guys on the new KANE album. Both play alongside David Bowie on stage. Drummer Campbell is known for his work with Duran Duran, Soul Asylum, B-52's, Eric Clapton, Iggy Pop, Tina Turner and Lou Reed. Bassist Dorsey played alongside Gwen Stefani, Bryan Ferry, Tears For Fears and Skin.
KANE is currently recording their new album at the All Aire Studios in New York's Catskill Mountains. The new album is expected to be in stores in a few months. The first single of the album 'Catwalk crminal' is in stores as of tomorrow.

Fuck…. freezing here! Nice blue sky, views go on to Canada with frozen lakes and tones of snow. Walking in a winter wonderland is what hey call this I think. We're back in Woodstock. Home of many but also the All Aire Studios . In the next few days we'll finish of drum, bass and basic recordigs. Nope not quite finished yet. Long way to go. Heading there. That's for sure. Far from home. In the middle of nowhere, in one of the nicest studios we've ever been. Catwalk Criminal has been released today. For now online and on Friday in stores. Feels kinda weird. I'm writing this from a room overviewing the mountains while back at home the single is being released. Hope you'll download it or go out and buy it on Friday. Just saying that 'because we're so proud of it. This is KANE in 2008. Every time I play Catwalk I'm thinking 'I wanna be in that band!' Which is good 'because they tell me I am ha, ha.And we could use your support. We've decided to take KANE to the edge. Where's the excitement in us, that unknown thing, that you know has been there all along? Ha, ha, that's in a way the definition of the next KANE record…number 4. How do we take it to the next level? With you guys at our side, we hope. So we try to create the best tracks. Which will be released on single. So you just gotta download ( uh uh not on limewire ha, ha) the new single or get it at your local (Dutch) store on Friday.
From Woodstock, to Catwalk, to you. Think it's time I shut up. For now ha, ha.
Adios Amigos,
