EDIT: Should have said in a recording studio.
THIS one...this is a song we recorded to enter into the K-Rock basement band contest in New York. I wanted to go into the studio and record a song called Soon Be Together, which I posted my own version of a few weeks ago, but at the time, the owner of the rehearsal studio we rehearsed at was trying to get us to become a top 40 act so that he could book us gigs. I didn't want to go top 40 and it caused a rift that eventually broke up the band. They wanted to make money now, and I wanted to stay true to the kind of music I wanted to create.
They won with this song, and my argument was that K-Rock was a ROCK station, not a pop station, and this song called Dana is DEFINITELY a pop song. I had also had an effects loop put into my JCM 800 just before the recording and I don't know what the tech did, but it just sucked the tone out of the amp. Really, the only things I like about this song are the drummer and bass player put down a rockin' beat imo, and the choir vocals we did with the synths sound haunting. The solo tone is garbage and the engineer was a keyboard guy, so guess what is up and in front? We had just added the keyboard player who was one of his students and I guess he wanted her (yes her, a gorgeous seventeen year old blonde) to stand out in the recording.
