Production JournalUpdated 07.31.06The Long Winters' new album, Putting The Days To Bed was released this week, the culmination of months and months of the band's hard work. With the album release Tuesday came in-store shows at two Seattle record store institutions: Sonic Boom Records and Easy Street Records. As hot as the shows were at the Doug Fir and Neumos days before, it was even hotter inside 'the Boom' Tuesday afternoon. The sales floor was packed, and I was positioned next to Jonathan in adjoining pools of our own sweat. After the show we could have filled Nalgene bottles with what we could wring our of our shirts. I'm sure the people I was standing in front of were equally happy about my blocking their view as they were with my drippings. The conditions at Easy Street were far less temperate, as they removed an entire wall to accommodate the crowd, allowing a nice breeze. Coupled with a few Red Stripes, the going was easier that time around. The shows were in contrast to each other in more ways than just heat, with the Sonic Boom show being a concerted effort to play a 'low key' show, while the Easy Street setlist brought more of an opportunity to rock the louder songs. The footage looks good, I'm just waiting on the sound. I met a few generous tapers there, with whom I'll probably collaborate on the sound portions of the two in-stores as well as the CD release shows. In addition to filming the shows this week was a brief shoot at Sonic Boom to complete a montage I've been shooting over a period of months. Interviews with Jonathan and more editing rounded it out. I'm planning on going to New York the middle of next week to film a few shows and do some interviews with New York-specific people. It'll be my first time there. < > |
