Root Hog - NEWS


10/10/11 (2:11pm) I was rooting around a while back on Ted Greene's website looking over some free guitar lessons. (click for lessons) Afterwards I wrote this little tune and affectionately named it "Bit of Greene" in honor of the man himself. Within the band the song is often referred to as TED. Its a nice mellow jog over some simple changes w/ a recurring theme. For the solo's the order is Myself, Dan, and then Pat. I hope you dig it! -Dru
10/1/2011 (3:58pm) We made it back into the studio last night! The lovely Katherine Tacker stopped in to loan us some amazing vocal work on Pat's songs "Dont Ask Me" and "Running Blind" Some great stuff got put down on the hard drive. I can't wait for you guys to hear some of these tracks. The sounds on this record are hands down, WAY ahead of our last record. Root Hog is super excited to let people get a listen. Good times are always to be had at the Sonic Iguana, anything less would be a let down for sure. Mass keeps a great head on his shoulders and we are proud to be working with him again. We ended the night with a lengthy listening session and plenty of fist-bumps. I have to give mention to the engineer on this record; Philip Zumbrun (You win some, You Zumbrun) Philip is top notch at the controls and is always ready to go. He really seems to love music and always has a great attitude accompanied by a smile. We think he is a great dude. Thanks for checking us out, -Root Hog	Studio the lovely Katherine Tacker (used w/out permission sorry!) A staple at the Iguana. Pat using a technique he calls "Tunnelvision" seems to be working. Best seat in da huas.
9/28/2011 (3:23PM) We forgot that we also wanted to talk a little bit about our upcoming LP. We have been listening to the rough mixes for a few weeks now. we can't wait to get back behind a mixer and set of speakers with our buddy Mass Giorgini over @ Sonic Iguana Studios! We have been playing around with a few album titles and some art work, both to be revealed at a later date. (soon!) for now here is a track listing in no particular order; Dont Ask Me Forgot About Your Ways To Be Gone Bit Of Greene (Ted) Skythrust Not Enough Hey Hey The Gavel Running Blind Personal Poison For kicks we have put the rough mix of "To Be Gone" in our site player at the bottom of the page. Check it out and let us know what you think over at our FB Page. -Root Hog If we get enough responses I might be tempted to let another song slip onto the player by accident.
