Künstlerbiographie Wooden Shjips


Wooden Shjips Are From The San Francisco Area And Play Trippy Psychedelic Acid Rock That Is Reminiscent Of Spaceman 3 & Loop But Also Jefferson Airplane. Wooden Shjips Took The Front Cover For Their Debut Album Sitting On The Steps Of Their Haight-Ashbury House As A Homage To Those 60s Photos Of Bands In San Francisco. "The Original Idea For The Wooden Shjips Was To Gather A Group Of Non-Musicians To Play Very Primitive Improvisational Psych Rock" Says Ripley "That Lasted For A Couple Of Years But We Never Released Anything Or Played Live In Public. After That Iteration Broke Up It Happened That My Friends Dusty And Omar Both Accomplished Musicians Were Looking For A Casual Music Project. I Resurrected The Wooden Shjips And Brought Them Onboard Along With Nash On Organ. Nash Had Played Guitar In The Original Line-Up And Had Never Played Organ Before."
"Once The First Two Vinyl Releases Received Some Positive Reviews We Started Functioning As A More Typical Band --Playing Shows And Releasing Material On A Regular Basis. Our First Show Was In January Of 2007 At The Cafe Du Nord. For Our Third Show In March We Were Lucky To Be Opening For Roky Erickson As Part Of The Noise Pop Festival. We Then Played The South By Southwest Festival In Austin Texas Did A Few More Shows And Recorded The Album. This Was The First Full-Length Recording Project We Had Taken On As A Band So It Was Somewhat Daunting For Us. We Didn't Have A Lot Of Time To Prepare Material As We Had Been Playing A Bunch Of Shows And Everyone Had Work And Other Things Going On. The Good Thing Was That We Had A Deadline To Meet Which Kept Us Motivated And The Shows We Were Playing Helped Tighten Us Up A Bit Although We Were Mostly Playing Different Songs .
We Recorded The Album Ourselves In May 2007 In Our Rehearsal Studio In The SOMA District Of San Francisco. I Think We Have The Largest Room In The Building Which At About 12 X 10 Feet Isn't Saying Much. We Shared The Space With The Fucking Champs And They Had All Their Gear In There As Well. So We Had To Do A Lot Of Breaking Down And Setting Up Over The Course Of The Recording.
For A Recorder We Found An Old Tascam 80-8 8-Track Machine On An Online Classifieds Site. It Came With A Free Teac Model 5 Board Which We Also Used. The Machine Was Not In Working Condition When We Got It But It Was Fairly Cheap And Thankfully Dusty Was Able To Fix Everything.
The Basic Tracking Was Done In Different Combinations Drums Bass And Guitar Drums And Guitar Only Guitar Bass And Organ. I Don't Really Remember The Details At This Point. It Was Impossible To Get Separation In Such A Small Room So We Just Had To Go For It And Hope Everything Mixed Well. We Didn’t Have A Good Monitoring System In The Room Either So There Was A Fair Amount Of Guesswork Going On. We Mixed At Dusty’s House In Bernal Heights Using A Soundcraft 200B Board.
