Spring Break!!

Hey, everyone!

First of all, let me congratulate our dear Amy Mantis, the winner of the competition! As promised, she will be getting her own free and signed copies of both the CD and DVD of Project K-Paz once they are released! Also, Lucas, the second to answer, will get a free copy of the CD! Thanks to both for reading and for making the comments! Keep it up!

Now, the news!

Last week, we had Jon Hsu come and make videos of our jams here at Berklee! It's me on guitar and Pablo on Drums. Laurent is still in France, so we had a Matias Alvear, a friend, play the bass. Josh was recording in Pittsburg, so he couldn't make it either. Here is a little piece of the jam, fresh for the BLOG readers:

MOCKUP JAM SESSION!

Let us know what you think of the footage, it is just a mockup, but a little taste of what's to come!

Now, this following week is our Spring Break, so we are out of town for a while, but the project is still moving. We have made progress in the DVD front after some great meetings with Jon while he was in Boston, and we're also just waiting to hear from Avatar to confirm our session booking.  But don't worry, we'll keep you posted.

Rock on!

Test Shooting at Berklee!

Hey, everyone!

This weekend, Jon Hsu is coming to Boston to make videos of us jamming and get some "test shots" and footage to start planning for the actual shooting of our DVD. Very exciting! Be on the lookout for the footage from these jams...we will post them here and on Youtube for sure!

On other news, there is a chance we may be getting funding from Berklee to help out with the project!! Kevin Johnson, from the Office of Cultural Diversity, showed a lot of interest in the project and recommended that we applied for a grant with the department. So we did and are waiting on a response very shortly! Let's all keep our fingers crossed, this could really help us a LOT!!

Also, I would like to add that a new addition has been made to the Project K-Paz tem: Jack Shenker! This very good friend of ours will be the person making all the interviews for the DVD, since he has one of the most fabulous accents ever (New Zealand, of course...), is one of the most intelligent guys we know, and an awesome sense of humor, which always helps! Welcome, Jack!

Well, today I'll be recording guitars for a soudalike Chris is producing of the song "Killing In The Name Of" by Rage Against The Machine, VERY intense, for those who know it, and tomorrow we'll have the "mock shooting", so this will be a very exciting weekend. Stay tuned for all the footage and material from that, and always for more updates!

Groove will guide us!
