A Place To Bury Strangers prep new material

New York psychedelic rockers recording new EP
1 hour ago

A Place To Bury Strangers are gearing up for the release of their first 'official' EP, currently being recorded at a studio in Brooklyn.

Speaking to NME.COM, drummer Jay Space revealed the band have been working on five new songs with producer John O'Mahoney, who is dividing his time between A Place To Bury Strangers and a certain Los Angeles rock band.

Space said: "He's doing the new Guns N' Roses record in the midst of doing ours, so he's going back and forth from LA to New York.

Space also admitted the band are in talks to release a 7" via Fucking Brilliant, the label owned by their friend Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre.

He said of the potential collaboration: "He's been saying he wants to do it for six months to a year, but all our talks have been in bars so far."

Despite three previously self-released EPs, this will be the band's first 'official' EP to be made widely available.

Never heard of em', but anything said about the new record is a good thing.

Even if it's still being produced?

Yep. ?It doesn't sound like CD is done yet - at least in terms of mixing and mastering - but any progress is good progress. ? : ok:

Many producers, including O'Mahoney, also do mixing. In Fact, O'Mahoney did it for N*SYNC's "Celebrity," an album that featured Richard Fortus on guitar and bass.

EDIT: I'm F'n Blind!

hm, very interesting... i thought axl was producing now... who knows who else is involved though :peace:

God knows, but i presume the band hes talking about are based in LA....... if it is true then it confirms the rumour we heard a while back that Axl has 2 months worth of studio time booked in NY!

Jonx

Is it just more or do you guys think a man that mixed NSYNC probably should not be doing GUNS N ROSES??? But hey any news is news so its all good.

A Place To Bury Strangers are gearing up for the release of their first 'official' EP, currently being recorded at a studio in Brooklyn.

So that would mean that GNR is working in LA?

Space said: "He's doing the new Guns N' Roses record in the midst of doing ours, so he's going back and forth from LA to New York

Since that band is recording in New York I would assume the Los Angeles part is for GNR. That is puzzling since Axl was supposed to be in NY. The other thing is this guy usually does mixing according to his track record. What happened to Wallace, I thought he was mixing the record? This guy hasnt recorded one major act he's only mixed them so I can't see GNR recording with him, only mixing.

Who said he was suposed to be in NY? He was just in the 90210 for the Fashion Show...he's probably still in Cali.

HA!  Anyone ever see that movie about the Brian Jonestown Massacre guy?  Two words: Fucked Up.

gnr have a guy who played with nsync too, dont forget.

Maybe this guy's not even working on CD.   :o

Maybe he's actually working on the followup to CD.   :beer:

And look how awesome he turned out to be!

Who Anton?  Yeah when he kicked that dude in the face from the stage I stopped siding with him.  He is something of a sympathetic character though.  And he might have some musical talent its just overshadowed by the swirl of extracurricular activity. 

Anyway I'm hoping this is old news and the record has been turned in. 

indeed.

I dont remember who said guitar tracks were being laid in new york but i had heard it was being done in LA in mid january.

far as this guy they dont say exactly when he was going to california to do the guns thing. and they also don't say what he's doing for chinese democracy if it was recent. so if he's recently working on it he could be doing mixing or mastering which means the album wouldnt be delayed much from the march 6th schedule. i think it'll be between march 21 and april 21 :hihi:

I just read this as well.

Interesting, lets hope it's the mixing he's working on...

Mark Strigl said in his blogg:

"o clarify, Bumblefoot did use my Les Paul in his final recording session for the next Guns N Roses album. The sessions took place last month here in New York City."

So they are maybe now recording in NY but they did the record in LA a while a ago, right?

sounds like it's mixing -- that's a good thing.  If they stopped recording, that is.

Sounds like the guy does more pro tools work and digital editing than produce.

The article says "currently being recording in a studio in Brooklyn".

So I take that to mean he is working with GNR now if he is working on both projects.  Just what he is doing is anyone's guess.

It's evident after reading the article that Guns are in L.A. Like I said before it states that the "A Place to Bury Strangers" band are recording in NY and if the guy (John) is traveling back and fourth from NY to LA that would put GNR in L.A. I tried looking for a contact or atleast some pictures of this guy and there is barely anything other than a few album he was credited for mixing. It would be great if anyone could dig up a contact for this guy, I e-mailed the band and asked if they knew if he was mixing or recording: no reply yet. My personal opinion is: This guy is mixing or doing Pro-Tools work on the album. If you look at his track record the only "major" albums he's done, have all been mixing or Pro-Tools.

If it is true good news
