Ladies and Gentlemen

In town for Pop Montreal with the whole Boompa records crew, Thom D’Arcy brought his new group the Ladies and Gentlemen to the  CJLO September 30, 2005.  Along with the kids from Catlow, the session was set up pretty much the day of, with us reaching Thom by phone that morning while they were eating breakfast.  “Cool, what do we need and when do we have to be there?” was pretty much Thom’s answer to if they could do it.

Getting in later that afternoon, we found out good ol’ Brent from the Salteens was touring with them along with backing Catlow also.  All in all, the guys zipped thru 5 songs, 3 of them brand new.

But… in post-production, we realized that the board didn’t work too well during the recording (most of the glitches were able to be fixed, thankfully) and the recording turned out a little static-y, but the the Ladies and Gentlemen guys did not have the kind of problems their tourmates Catlow had.  That’s a whole other story.
