Hi it's James Walsh here with the first instalment of Starsailor's US adventure.

Our first week was spent with Rob Schnapf (producer) in a rehearsal room putting the finishing touches to the songs before going in to record. It also gave us a chance to warm up and make sure we we're playing better than ever.

Most of the time so far in the studio has been spent recording drums which is usually the way, so Ben will probably be finished very soon. (He promises not to swan around the studio drinking beer rubbing it in that we still have work to do!). The first track we have put guitar, bass and keys on is called 'Counterfeit Life' which we are all really happy with.

Next up is 'In my blood' which we need to make sure is better than the live version which many of you may be familiar with.

Outside of the studio we've been watching bands and settling into LA life. We went to see Coldplay along with Vernon Kay and Tim Burgess and we were all impressed with their new songs. We had a few drinks with Vernon after the show before he had to rush over to the studio to do his morning show on radio 1 at around midnight LA time!

Anyway, that's all for now, we'll be back in touch soon,

Love From Starsailor

Thanks for the update- LA sounds rather good at the moment !

Regarding "In My Blood", it is brilliant live, but I'm sure the studio version will rock just as much.

Finally, Ben- don't drink too much beer.........

Awesome, I can't wait for this record. I listen to the first two all the time, since I became a fan back in December. You can thank Metal Gear Solid 3, which has Way To Fall during the credits, for that. Also, Just for that fact I'm insanely jealous that you guys get to have a song of yours on the credits of the best videogame ever made! Laughing

Anyhoo, is there an ETA on the record? This summer's already looking super-nice with new records from Audioslave, Ryan Adams, and Coldplay, but to get the new Starsailor album would be amazing too Very Happy

Enjoy that LA life too, this past week has been so nice... I'm in Riverside to the east but still enjoying the fantastic weather as well.

Thanks for the update, James. Glad to hear the recording is going well - can't wait for the new album.

I hope America gives you as much inspiration as it did for the Manics when they were out there recording for Tony Visconti. After seeing them recently on tour they were on top form, as I am sure you guys will be - CAN'T WAIT!!!

xxxx
