Ready to rock in Imperia
We've been doing this kind of thing since 83. Many of the people at the gig in Imperia tonight weren't born then, but we all had a good time
Pre-gig preparations
Having a great time with friends, chatting and putting the world to rights. Support band will be on at midnight, Primevals maybe 1am.

Torino
We had a blast in Turin, a wonderful city.
Great people, lovely food, cafe correcto, good venue, responsive crowd.
I was especially pleased to use this glorious 66 Fender Bassman
Tomorrow - Imperia!!

Italia!
The Primevals flew in to Milan today. All gear seems to have made it. We are driving thick fog to Turin, where we have a gig tomorrow.
It's good to be back on the road

Studio time
The Primevals have been back in The Foundry, the studio where we have recorded the last several albums. A few weeks ago, we spent a weekend recording the basic tracks, sticking to our proven methods - record the basic track live, with everyone, then work from the best take. As always, we had a great time.
Day one covered all 12 songs - drums, bass, guitars, some keyboards, and guide vocals. Day two added guitar overdubs and some additional keyboards. So far we have kept pretty much all the live guitars - we have plenty to pick and mix with. We used different guitars for the overdubs - I did most of mine with my Grestch Electromatic, which has a P90 - that contrasts nicely with the other guitars.
We are heading back tonight to start on the final vocals, start arrangements (which generally means subtracting some guitar parts), and, as always, enjoy each others' company over a cup of tea and some of Tunnocks' finest.
