Heyyyy! So, it turns out we're only a few weeks away from having our first album out (where 'out' refers to is yet to be determined, but oh well, Rome wasn't built in a day), and so we don't freak out waiting, we went and made a video. Not really as simple as that made it sound, but whatever. I for one am stoked! It was directed by the amazing Pascal Krumm, who we'd surely work with again in a heartbeat.
So here it is. Please do press "HD" if you can / dare / know your computer won't freak out.
Okay, so we're still working on a few details of the album (i.e. Mastering!!! Who knew it could be so difficult? And I'm not even the one doing the hard work!), but it's as close to being finished as it will be for a couple of weeks. So we uploaded it to our Myspace page. Not the full thing, but ten out of twelve, still pretty good.
We'll probably have to take it back down, I don't really know how things are going to play out, but the thing is it's up there and you can be the first to listen!
So hopefully we'll start getting some feedback. Or not. Still not feedback time, I guess.
Welcome to our blog / temporary webpage. We're The Plugin, a band composed by keyboardist/producer/composer/awesomeness-laden Rodrigo Aboitiz; and myself, vocalist/songwriter/composer/will-not-toot-my-own-horn Ignacio Redard. We are joined in this blog by our superstar manager, Sanfu (please note: not SNAFU). For a more sensible bio of the band, please visit our Myspace, where all the sensible things are going on.
Now, I realize since we're a new band and all, in al likelihood no one's reading this, but this is as good a moment to start blogging as any, so there.
We are currently up to a lot of stuff. In the past months, we wrote, produced, recorded and mixed our first album. We took such a long time coming up with a name for the band, that we're not even going to go there with the album: it'll just be called The Plugin, I guess.
As I write, the album is being mastered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, by Neil Pickles and Facundo Rodriguez (the latter also mixed the whole album, so he's an honorary Plugin by now). So if everything goes right, the album should be aliiiive by the end of September. Yipee!
Meanwhile, if you're too lazy to visit our Myspace (I know I'm usually too lazy to follow links even if they're right there in front of me!), here's our first shot at having a video of sorts. The song's name is Like a Knife and it will be included in the album:
