Early last week, we met with area photographer Stan Freedman to see about getting some pictures done of the band. We had a great meeting, and Stan has some awesome ideas to help create our on line image. Right now, it looks as if we’ll be planning for our first photo shoot towards the end of February.
We’re all really excited to be working with Stan, and can’t wait to see the results!
We now have three more sound clips up on the Demo page. Be sure to check out the sounds of Wicked Sun!
Yeah, I know. If it’s new, it can’t have been improved. But, it’s so improved, it might as well be new!
The Wicked Sun web site has undergone a complete refit, with an eye towards a little cleaner design. The new site makes it easier to find things, and is a little easier to update. The new design also properly supports the audio file player — when the link turns orange (or blue, depending on your browser), the song will play without opening a new window!

For those interested, if you’re viewing the site with Firefox (or any browser using a codebase common to Firefox), you’re not seeing the site as designed. If you’re using any other browser (Safari, IE, Opera, etc.), it looks like it’s supposed to. Click the thumbnail to the left to see what the site is really supposed to look like.
The biggest difference is that Firefox refuses to render the correct colors for the headers. No clue why, but it’s annoying.
I’m also still working on a few tweaks here and there. Hopefully, we’ll have more demo tracks up next week, and more photos as well.
The first of the demo audio has been posted. They’re just real short clips (it’s all the law allows us to post, I’m afraid) of the songs, but they do give a sense of what we sound like. It’s a real shame we can’t post the entire song, ’cause these things rock! You can find links to the streaming files on the Demo page or the Song List page.
We had our recording session last week, and for the most part, things went really quite well. Ray promises to have the first rough mixes for us to listen to at tomorrow’s rehearsal. Here are a few pictures from the first session I snagged with my iPhone (these are from the “test” session, not the actual recording session).
