judging from the Do They Know It's Christmas cover, Grady can't really sing very well...

[Martin]

He didn't really try there as well. Plus, that was a long time ago.

Just read Will Haven's bulletin:

will haven studio updates
Body: just a quick update to let everyone know we are headed back into the studio this weekend with Chino Moreno (deftones) and Shaun Lopez (Far, Revolution Smile) We will be tracking a few songs at Shaun's studio down in Los Angeles, CA
Chino and Shaun are really good friends of ours and we are all excited about the stuff we are coming up with. So this weekend we will be doing a blog everyday giving details of the days events, some behind the scene stuff, and the craziness that happens when you get all the old school homies together. So starting Sat morning the first blog will be posted on the will haven page. stay tuned.......................... 

How cool is that? Some of my fav artists working together 

[Martin]

Very, very, very cool

[Martin]

And there it is! How cool this is
Would like to see pics of Grady recording.

Well back in Los Angeles and its always crazy. We got into town around 12am due to a crazy driver losing control and flying off the freeway and bursting into flames, always an adventure on the LA freeways. We went straight to the studio to meet up with Shaun and Chino. Our good friend Benji was there as well and it was good to see him. We all hung out til about 4 in the morning chillin out, listening to music and some crazy speech by Abe made while recoding the Deftones record. I love that guy. We then went back to Chino's to finally catch some sleep. We talked about getting into the studio around 11 but of course that didn't happen, we finally woke up around 1 and we took off to
Get some food. So we finally roll into the studio around 3. It was nice to finally get indoors because for some reason its about 50 degrees herein beautiful so cal. I don't think its ever been this cold in LA, just our luck.

Today was a pretty productive day, we set up the drums and got them dialed in, we then tracked two songs on drums, Helena and Ice landing. Both songs turned out awesome, Chino and Shaun made a lot of cool changes in both songs. So things are going very well, the new album is going to be by far the best stuff will haven has ever done.

We finally called it a day around 11, we all decided to go out to a resturant/bar that our friend Chris works at. It was probably a bad idea to give us free drinks, Mitch at one point fell out of the booth and collapsed on th e floor, so we picked him up put him back in the chair and gave him another shot, fool is like a Gremlin if you get him wet after midnight.

So I would have to say today was a good day, got some work done and still went out and had a good time. Its awesome to be working with Shaun and Chino, they are some of our best friends but we respect them as musicians tremendously. Its nice to have them there.

So its now 3 in the morning and Im about to pass out, tommorow we should be a bit more rested or a bit hungover who knows, but it should be fun either way....

Stay tuned.....

Why is LA so damn cold? Like Alaska up in here! Today was good, I rolled out of bed at 9 to catch the supercross race, damn Bubba is fast! My boy Reed needs to get that wing fixed. I was mostly curious how Mitch was going to feel after his night of dancing and meeting people. He looked a little beat down but was moving around pretty good. We had a bomb ass breakfast at Chino's house then it was back to the studio. We tracked one more song on drums (sheepards bush). Mitch's drumming on this record is completely insane, pretty crazy stuff.

It was then on to Mike to throw down his bass tracks, we got through one song but wasn't happy with the bass tone we were getting so we moved onto guitars. I started out with the newer song Sheppards Bush. Chino, Shaun and I came up with some sick guitar parts for this song. This record is starting off to be exactly what I was looking for, some crazy epic stuff. I cant say enough about Chino and Shaun, they are definitely bringing a lot of cool stuff out of us.

After laying the guitars for that song we needed a break, so we hit up a good Chinese resturaunt across the street from will smith's studio, yeah will smith has his own studio, what the hell doesn't that guy have? After that we decided to hit up a bar called Bar 21, go figure, we sat there and played some tunes on the jukebox, Chino was telling us that Hall from Hall and Oates was dead, but we found out the fool was still alive. So Hall and Oates is still rocking, thank god...Chino then suggested we hit up some karaoke bar down the street, this place was badass, probably had 3000 songs in that book, everything from the bee gees to slayer, we didn't rock it but we heard some American Idol fools in the making. SORRY!!!

So after another night of cocktails we called it a night, when we got back to Chino's he was telling us about how the mountain next to his house was hollow and filled with some crazy shit, what the hell was he sippin on? Another good day.......

Stay tuned.............

This is one of the coolest collaborations, i'm sure the record's gonna kick ass! There seems to be a really good vibe between these guys. Chino and Shaun are really good working together(i think that's already proved judging from SNW). Plus, they're involved with guitar parts, which makes me more excited! Damn, can't wait for the record!

'Frontrow Curbside' and 'Helena' are the same song. The songtitle changed.
When I saw them in the UK in march last year, I heard the song was called 'Frontrow Curbside' as well as it being anounced as 'Helena'.
So either it's the same song, but the name changed, or it were different songs all together.

Anyway, of this song no demo has hit the web yet.

Uploading the others and a new track.

EDIT: Uploaded. Can anyone tell me what that unidentified track is?

thanks Tuck \m/
