Kevin In the Shed

While we have been eagerly waiting to hear mixes of the new album, we have been hitting the shed and exploring new gear. Here’s a clip of Kevin putting the Eventide Pitchfactor to work over his new Roland System-1 synth and a drum machine on his iPad.

High Bias Improv Jam Video

Here is a little video clip of one of our improv jams at the end of the session back in April taken by our graphic designer and good friend, Ryan Kelly. We got a lot done that weekend, so it was nice to be able to just stretch out and enjoy being in the moment with our instruments as we love to do for a bit….and having it professional recorded to boot!

New Album Underway

Doctor Pizza’s last album was done entirely by Elliott and myself, Steve, with the help of friends and session players in “the basement.” While this was a fun experience that allowed us to learn a lot, we both felt it would be best to take the next album somewhere with an engineer that could help us with workflow and allow us to focus more on the music.

We went to High Bias Recordings in Detroit on March 31 through April 2nd to set up and get as much of our music recorded as possible. It was a mix of songs we’ve been playing, ideas that were shaped into songs on the fly, and even a little improv.

After giving the reference tracks some listens, we went back to the studio this past weekend to do some overdubs, edits, and light mixing. It is getting closer to the point where Chris Koltay, owner of High Bias Recordings, can do his mixing and production tricks to gives us that special treatment that we do not have the capacity to do on our own.

Band Update

We’ve all been busy with work and life. One of us is a new father. However, we are still exploring outer space in our spare moments. Looking forward to sharing it with you in 2017…

In the studio…

Hello, internet. Doctor Pizza rang in the New Year by hunkering down in the studio for a couple of days with a lot of fun toys. No new album anytime soon, but there are many ideas a-brewin’! Our friend Ryan came by to capture some of the studio ambiance, and here are some of his pictures. We hope everyone had a safe new year’s eve and didn’t appear in any regrettable photos. Just kidding, we saw ’em before they were taken down. Good luck living that one down, and no, we don’t have any stain remover.

Peace, love, and pizza,
Elliott

Update

The three of us have begun to write new material. Look out for a fresh tune at our upcoming shows.
