Toadies and Smile Smile SUPER GROUP… Sort Of


Smile Smile have agreed to let us document the making of their newest album, Truth On Tape.

Based out of Dallas, Texas, the band began recording Truth On Tape in late February of 2009. With Ryan Hamilton on guitar, Jencey Hirunrusme on keys, and both of them sharing vocal duties, the pair have joined producer, David Castell, to record the follow-up to their debut album, Blue Roses.

So, what happens when you combine Jencey, myself, Toadies drummer Mark Reznicek, producer great David Castell and Miller Light?

MAGIC, PURE MAGIC

The unlikely pairing of Smile Smile and the Toadies ended up being a wonderful surprise. I’ve been a big fan of the Toadies for years and to have their drummer come in and play on our new CD was a great honor. Mark came in and did a GREAT job and the songs turned out so, so good.

Here’s some video:


The new CD is coming along quite nicely. I am SO READY to finish and for everyone to hear the new stuff. As much as Jencey and I argue and disagree I’m always surprised by how great the finished product ends up sounding. It’s a struggle and quite frequently we want to kill each other but I love the music we make.

Until next time,
Ryan
