Jamison Acker and Michael Lux have crafted a very fine collection of new songs which they recorded with fellow bandmates Colin Mulhern on bass and Mario Coletta on drums. Founding member Matt Perryman also appears on drums as well as Mike & Marc from Company Of Thieves. Colin handled sessions recorded at Chicago's Rax Trax while Michael and Jamison worked at home. For the finish, "Part One" was mastered here at Lilypad by me.

"Part One" will be available November 2, 2010 direct from the band and their label without labels, or a name. Hah!  "Part Two" drops in early 2011.

The Pad visit by Hollus was recorded September 19, 2010 at the Lilypad ranch. The following songs were performed (not to mention incidental items by The Smiths or Jamison's classic, Picadilly Pants):

We warmed the cold living room with a small fire and popped a cork as we launched the new padcast series recorded in an acoustically biased setting. Stripped bare in the usual unplugged approach, The Living Room Series will feature friends and guests performing new and old material, live and reworked to fit the new setting. 

Crash & blaze!

We'll also chat and maybe even get to the heart of… something. Maybe.

This is PADCAST #22 -- the audio version of Lipstick that includes a picture slideshow of photographs culled from their website taken by some very excellent photographers. Please visit their site for more information at Hollus.net
