JAN 27

"Machine" is on the Way and "Dry" is Flying High!!

Very happy to report that the next track for the "Arrows" album is nearing completion. Chad is working his production magic once again, and we should be mastering within a week or two. We're both very happy with the direction the song has taken and we think you'll like it, too! Keep an eye out for it and let us know what you think!

Also very pleased to report that "Dry" is having quite a showing on garageband.com. It's currently rated 4.9 out of 5 stars and was recently awarded "Track of the Day" status for January 27th in Alternative music. We've received some excellent reviews and some very insightful feedback. Thanks to all those who took the time to review our music and share your thoughts!

Our follow up to "Machine" will be a tune called "Like You". It's very close to my heart and will require some extra care in ...

Collaborating remotely presents some challenges and quite a few advantages. Over the last year or so, Chad and I have gotten into a routine that works pretty well. Once I've got a song written and I'm pretty comfortable with the structure, I'll record a very simple guitar/vocal demo and upload it to a server that Chad and I use for project work. Chad will then listen and share any notes he has on song structure and we'll talk about our ideas. Next, Chad will get to work on drums and bass and save those tracks back to the server. I'll import them and use them with the original demo to record "real" guitar tracks and vocals. These tracks then go back up to the server so Chad can add his guitar magic.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Jill Spilled Scotch blogs!

First off, I want to apologize for the site. I realize it's not the schwankiest site out there, but since Chad and I are doing everything ourselves, we really needed to get something simple and functional up as quickly as we could so we could get back to the music. But we wanted a way to connect directly with people who have found our music and enjoy it, and this site will do just fine for that.

Even though we've been working hard on these tunes for quite a while, the "Arrows" project is in its early stages. Here on the Jill Spilled Scotch website, you can find updates on everything we're working on at the moment, hear the latest album release, and even listen to pre-production demos and give us your thoughts and ideas. We definitely want to hear from you!
