Dan,

Here are 8 of the 10 songs that we will record, the other 2 are simple 1-4-5's not worth reviewing. Please note that these were done in mainly one takes, so ignore the vocals and production (just me and a drum machine). But it will give you an idea of what you will hear on thursday..

2009-01-31T15:54:00.003-05:00

I have had enough time to bang out 5. I can burn the whole thing to a disc for those who want the rest. But the good and the bad

1. We have to stick to format, we are getting close, but not there yet
2. When we record off the PA we really need to dial in the vocal levels. Chuck was to high Jay too low.
3. We cant change the setting of our amps once we start, we have to get a decent volume and not fiddle. Both jay and I are guilty.
4. We need to count off on the songs and all come in at once.
5. Much better on less time between songs and endings were solid. we ended up playing 14 songs, A new record.
6. We need to stay in our range on the harmonies, we should really just have a sperate session on this alone from the tunes.

In no particular order.

Happy New Year - 2008 Recap

2009-01-02T16:52:00.001-05:00

Thanks to all of our fans that followed our activities in 2008. We are really
excited to play out again this spring and summer in 2009. It’s an exciting
time for the band as we move into 2009 with all our new tunes and we look
forward to seeing you at our next gig.

Well, its official, our new CD "Scale Worthy" will be recorded around
April 2009 at Roscoe (Eric) Amble's studio. He's a pretty high end guy,
works with the pro’s like Marshall Crenshaw, Nils Lofgren, Ryan Adams, the
list goes on and on. He's a member of the Yayhoo's Band with ex-Georgia
Satellites Singer Dan Baird. This will be one killer of a recording and we cant
wait to play the new material for you folks.

A look back at 2008 highlights for The MCP Band :

1. Some very positive music reviews were posted of our debut CD “Above the
Waterline”.

Whispering and Hollering says:
“….. 8 out of 10 stars…. the MCP Band knows that the real deal should
rock like hell……. The MCP Band must be a potent live creature….”
http://www.whisperinandhollerin.com/reviews/review.asp?id=5698
Hellhound on My Trail says:
“….the MCP Band does not dare to shy away from any musical boundaries,
encompassing rock and blues-inspired songs that can fill any room with dancing,
head bopping…”
http://hellhoundtrail.com/2008/06/18/the-mcp-band-makes-mark-with-happy-and-upbeat-blues-inspired-tracks/
Overground Underground says:
“….it is apparent that MCP’s raw talent is uniquely clever… surely
listen to the MCP Band’s righteous tunes”
http://ougroundcdreviews.com/2008/06/17/the-mcp-provide-entry-way-into-an-adventurous-way-of-life/

2. “Particular Condition” was played as promo material in an episode of
“the Next GAC Star” TV broadcast this summer.

3. Multiple CD sales from France, Australia, Spain..

4. Multiple track of the week/day awards at Garageband.com and we broke into
the top 20.

Coming up in 2009:

Interview in Twang Town (twangtown.com) to be printed in January
Music Festival targets for late summer
Gigs dates available, we are ready to play in Brooklyn, NYC, NJ in a few
months, once we get out of the studio.

Cheers and good health!

CD Review

2008-08-02T13:28:00.001-04:00

author: Adam Harrington

MCP BAND, THE'
'Above the Waterline'

- Genre: 'Blues' - Release Date: '2008'

Our Rating: 8 out of 10 stars

The MCP Band (http://www.mcpband.com) embody everything that an American bar band is supposed to be. Drunk on its own alcohol-fueled, blues-soaked rock, the MCP Band delivers authentic blue-collar grit with no studio slickness or limp ballads to water down the dirt. In other words, this is heady biker music with no compromises.

Unlike many of the roots and Americana acts out there, the MCP Band knows that the real deal should rock like hell. "Borrowed Time" scorches the walls with mean, bluesy riffs and raspy vocals; however, true to the group's classic-rock leanings, the track is melodic, wonderfully catchy. Even more gnarly is "Poor Tomorrow," packing heat with throbbing bass lines and driving guitars. "Breathing Life" is raw electric blues; you can imagine the smoke coming out of the amps. The MCP Band must be a potent live creature because this CD definitely has an exhilarating live vibe to it; listening to it, it feels like you're only inches away from the lads, soaking in all the feedback.
The MCP Band have energy to burn, and this record is relentless in its quick pacing. Beginning with the rollicking boogie piano of "Particular Condition" to the heavy chunks of shrapnel on

Hello mcoffy01
Thanks for uploading "Particular Condition" to GarageBand.com. Congratulations are in order! Your song did a bang up job in Round 1 of the Active Contest,and held its own against some stiff competition. It's been reviewed by folks all over the world, been subjected to raw, unfiltered scrutiny from people you don't even know...and guess what?.... They liked it! The blood, sweat and tears have paid off.

Songs in Round 2 will move through an entirely new review cycle, to be reviewed and ranked against the other top songs in their genre. We'll measure your new ranking based on a combination of this new data and the old data. When the dust settles, those left standing at the top of the charts will get a shot at moving on to Round 3 and be one step closer to getting played on Yahoo! Launch radio.

Jon now has the record on how many cans he can have left on top of his amp at the end of the practice night. this wek, He had a record 6! 5 cans of soda and one beer can. All of the soda cans except one were half full and the beer was 3/4 full.

What I want to know is when do you get half way through the soda, do you change your mind on what type of soda you wanted or have worms fully eaten into your brain?

MCP CD

2006-08-15T10:03:00.000-04:00

OK,

going on the original theme

this all started with jons keep it simple process of mental belimia, so i guess i ow'd it to him for making the call on this "epipany" of thought process for orginals and structure. Allthough i had this in mind for a while, my brain was mildy interrupted with all the cool cover we were playing and the fact that we were getting paid for gigs... however with the direction is set for the balance of 2006. and I think if we can pull this together, I would like to have the CD done by Dec 1st. Most important is the song choice.. keep it simple just 10 songs... allthough we have 20 or more, the top 10 need to get out first. Here they are with comments

1. Wont let go- format ready
2. Particular condition- format ready
3. Funkadelia- Format unknown, we have plenty of performanaces and we can pick something that we all like
4. America Debutant- format ready
5. My blue car- Format ready however pacing speed is in question
6. Meld me- format ready with the exception of the chorus load relook
7. Poor tomoorow- love the format from the last gig, lets run with that version
8. Breathing Life- this song still needs a bridge
9. Your the one- need to bring the bridge back in
10 Dspace- this will be the hardest one, no format at all, will have to do the same as funkadeila

comments boys?

Thanks

Songs- etc

2006-08-08T14:12:00.000-04:00

Jay,

as far as your songs:

I think the best way to review the songs..would be to not so much chart the songs but to get the lyrics together and write the chords on top on the lyrics. That way, if you could play the song .. say acoustically or record it real simple I could play along.. as long as you can record it somehow.

What do you think.

I will get you the other information on the songs you requested soon.

Hey there!
Like the new song choices guys!

"I wanna be sedated" - I was thinking of recommending this tune! Good choice.
Is "Wont let go" the new MCP band tune you sent in MP3 form last week?

"Pleasent Vally Sunday" is another good choice.
