A song written about a game invented during the World Cup of 2010 (think vuvuzuela + wiffleball). Ancient work-in-progress, mixed last summer with Boston's own omnipresent Luke Sullivan.

Vuvuzuelaball

I wrote "Insomniac" on Friday, February 3 at 12:22a.m., fittingly. This photo is a video still of me writing the song by the light of the computer (I tend to record demos in Photobooth). 

In what is quite possibly the fastest turnaround of a song yet, Frank Hegyi and I recorded it that same Friday night in my freezing garage (this is take three ... the mouth noises and rubbing hands are really us trying to stay warm in a 38 degree room).

Did overdubs Friday night after warming up a bit, then mixed over the weekend, just finishing by 3a.m. Monday morning (what superbowl?!). This song is clearly autobiographical.

Frank Hegyi is on drums, percussion and mouth noises.

Curtis is on mouth noises and everything else.

Insomniac

In the vein of early '80s metal gods Dio, Judas Priest and Don Felder, Devil Woman crawled out of the brainwomb on Friday, March 2, the instant result of the newly acquired MXR blue box (pure octave fuzz!)

Clinton Degan of A Bit Much fame helped summon the demon spawn through pedal-depressed panchromatic resonance (the demon radio audio verite). Real and electronic drums provided by Frank Hegyi.

Devil Woman

Here's a live recording of School for Robots performing the Zappa classic in an Allston basement party on Saturday, April 28, 2012. 

This was a one-rehearsal gig with Greg Toro sitting in on bass. Frank Hegyi on drums. Recorded on a Sony PCM-M10 straight to mp3. Opened for the wonderful and strange Strange Changes, also from Allston. Fun was had by all!
