Where do you want them to record?

BARS:

• The Bloody Dog (A dingy basement bar
• Bottom's Up Pub (An inner-city booze joint where retired laborers and teenaged gangsters sit side by side as they get drunk)
• Fat Belly's (A sleazy pub with an upstairs room that is used for small music/theatre events)
• The Three Toothed: Bar & Grill (Slightly more up-class, with wooden tables and a somewhat less roudy atmosphere)
• Wild Willy's Burgers & Beer (More of a restaurant than a bar, they offer cheap food and drink and have a small stage)
• Wellington's Pub (Traditional Irish-style pub with food and drinks of all sorts and a manifesto for allowing new acoustic acts to perform there)
• Sohi Sushi & ****tails (An upscale oriental themed bar with a sushi chef and a new-age feel)
• Mills' Tavern (The fanciest possible place to buy a beer; entrepreneurs, politicians, stock brokers and trust fund kids with nothing better to do dine and drink here)

• The Barrelhouse (A nearly 100 year old club which is known for its appreciation for bygone art forms... one of the only places in the city where people still go to swing dance. "Older" music is welcome
• The Cinderblock (A basement dance club with a very low entrance fee and a similarly low standard of service)
• Hallelujah Rock (An old church converted into a dance hall which is best known for its location and acoustics)
• The Warehouse (An old waterside warehouse which was commondeered by ravers during the early 90's and since has been a source for live electronic music)
• City 4-Ever (One of the many clubs located near MB university, this northern city club is known for its wild nights and hip, modern feel)
• The Mosh Pit (Self-described as "the club that keeps on rocking", the Mosh Pit plays exclusively hard rock in an old wooden building that has both old charm and state-of-the-art sound systems)
• Urban Night (One of the city's newer clubs, which originally started out featuring mostly electronica but which has now switched almost exclusively to rap)
• Chrome Velvet (A very expensive, high-tech, space-age club with trippy lighting and strange modernistic technology, better known for its drinks and hipness than for its music)
• The Park (a tiny field in central MB city was purchased by a DJ collective several years ago and The Park is what it has become; a place for people to sing, dance and meet others for free)
• Hanoi Nights (A hip oriental-themed club playing mostly Asian pop music but also featuring some artists from the American and European dance music scene)
• Club Indigo (another high-class club near MBU... with a remarkable reputation and a large turnout on a nightly basis)
• Drew & Monique's Wild Nights Dance Club (Two 17-year-old siblings who convert their parents' house into a dance club whenever they are out of the house. There's a very low turnout)

Wait. Have they already recorded? I'm confused!

jastrub

Well your audio engineers suggest they re-record the tracks for the singles to crisp them up a little, but otherwise the album is fine.

They agree to practice a bit, but Dr. Dan is anxious about telling the parents of the younger members about the record deal. He asks if only the 16-18-year-olds can come and play for you for now.

Shiloch Shamoo is a skilled percussionist who is best known for his crazy skills on the Marimba. Born and raised in French Guyana, he learned how to play the xylophone as a young child. He studied jazz and classical piano in his twenties, but realized that his passion was percussion. Although most skilled at the music of his native Africa, he is also noted as a skilled vibes man. He has worked with several small jazz combos over the years. Now at 45, he is looking for someone to sponsor him in a solo record. Says Shamoon, "I love playing with a band, but I want to try out being something other than an expendable studio musician for once in my life."

James

Ok. I ask them to record the singles at MB university.

jastrub

The singles are complete! Now, when do you want the single and the album to be released?
