That's pretty fucking awesome.
Yeah, it was pretty cool. Ike's a great guy with a twisted/sarcastic sense of humor. The band won some recording time with him and an opening spot at one of his shows when they did that battle up at Mickey Finn's a while back. I don't think they realized the recording would be in Ike's house. I think it will be a great experience for them. He seems to want to really get involved in the process of helping them to shape the songs as they record -- production help they've never really had before.
Not sure where the show is going to be. Originally they were talking about the Genesee Theatre up in Waukegan, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. Ike wants an "unusual venue" for an all ages show, but he also wants liqueur available for his fans. Any ideas?
