New Kid C Guitarist

Kid C's longtime guitarist, Ray Wassef has recently departed the band to focus on his solo project, The Ray Mann Three. We're sad to see him go, but we're happy for him as he continues to build the Ray Mann project into something special. As the band moves forward towards new tours and a new album we have welcomed James Manson, a young gun with a true spark, into the fold. James brings with him a distinctive sound, attitude and presence as a guitarist that has played a big role already in helping to shape the new Kid C album and sound. We're all totally excited by what's in store...

DAY FIVE: The end... sort of

As the last day in the studio drew to a close, my mind returned to the "Stripes" session and how different an experience it was. If this new album and "Stripes" were horses, then "Stripes...

DAY FOUR: 14 tracks recorded! And were losing it...

I can't believe we just recorded 14 tracks in 4 days. Ok, so we still have horns and some other overdubs like backing vocals and tambourine to go, but we're like 83% there! I didn't thin...
