#AUCW9 is upon us and we could NOT be more excited. Come catch us Sunday (September 27th, 2015) at The Firebird STL. We will be performing as REFUSED and you do not want to miss this.

The LW/OE split extended play will be available at "name your own price" on bandcamp 9/8/15. The cover bears the monument for the great Elijah P. Lovejoy, who was a very important figure in equal rights and freedom of speech and expression. We hold a great reverence for these rights and the place from which we (LW/OE) are based. We are excited to share these songs with you all and hope that you will listen as well as remember the people who sacrificed so much so that art like this can exist today. #stl #localmusic #music #lifewithout #oakwoodestate #freemusic #420

I’m looking back at the past week at Bird Cloud and I’m lucky to have such a varied work load:

-Mixing a free improvisation record tracked here last week with Darin Gray (amazing weirdo bass player / dude in Tweedy who always wears a hat) and Tyler Damon (similarly amazing weirdo drummer / guy...

Opening up the Blue Swan Record's tour was too much fun. St. Louis couldn't of treated a group of Illinoisans any better. Thank you.

Studio update - 10/7/14

Hello Tumblr,

Last night marked the end of our third session on Uncertain Circles at Bird Cloud Recordings. For newcomers, that's the record we've been working on recording for awhile and the first things we've written as a band.

The nitty-gritty of the record is about 3/4 of the way done with us getting the lion's share of the guitar over-dubbing done last night. We didn't quite reach the level of effects pedals used on At the Drive-In's Relationship of Command, but we had our fair share of things. A couple of Brett's favorites in the studio were the JHS Superbolt and Strymon Flint. Being as he doesn't know how to play guitar, we wouldn't really sound good without those. 

Ryan's advice has been paramount. He has no problem helping you dial in a guitar tone or telling you when something "needs more ass" and we can assure you... An assless record is one we are not interested in making; nor is it one you would want to listen to anyway.
