Download our new studio track!
10.29.06 - It's only been three years, but we finally got a new studio track up on the website, free to download in mp3 format: The tune: 'Letting Go,' a classic Josh Nadelberg hymn of love and loss in the tradition of 'Apple' and 'Letter Song,' and one of my favorite Josh songs ever. It's really a pleasure to finally release it for you to hear, and I hope you'll love it as much as I do. We recorded the basic parts for this song almost exactly three years ago, at Ex'pression Studio in Emeryville, CA with engineer Raf Zenteno. After languishing unfinished for a while, I (Mike) got ahold of the files and added some guitar and mandolin parts; Josh tracked some backing vocals, and finally Chris aka Spoony laid down his bassline, and we polished up the mix. We spent a long time tweaking the mix to compensate for the fact that, unlike our two previous albums, this is not a professional production. Also, there's no mastering, which means it'll be a little quieter than most of the tunes in your collection. But we're feeling pretty good about it. Savor the subtleties. Here are some of the specs on the track: Music and Lyrics by Josh Nadelberg Arranged by Josh, Mike, Spoons, and Tony Tracked by Raf Zenteno Mixed by Mike Roberts, Chris Webber, and Raf Zenteno Josh: Vocals and percussion Mike: 12-string acoustic guitar, electric guitars, mandolin Spoony: Bass Tony: Percussion Believe it or not, we're still planning on finishing another tune or two in the near future, so stay tuned, and thanks for your patience (those of you who hadn't forgotten entirely about this old project). Enjoy the song!New Studio Tracks: Still working on them, we swear
7.04.05 - Now that Josh is armed with a brand new home studio, the oldest and most finished tunes, "Cheyenne" and "Dancing Around," should be able to pass out of our hands into yours within a few months. We hope. Thank you, thank you for your patience.Happy Fourth of July!
7.03.05 - We're celebrating the end of a seventeen month streak of no significant news!Stand Up Eight Hits the Studio (Finally)
1.27.04 - Yes indeed. On January 17th, we broke ground on the new recording project we've been blowing hot air about for...well, gee, it's been years now. We laid down basic tracks for seven new songs, plus live-in-the-studio takes of two more. Much work remains to be done, but so far we seem to be sprouting a fine, eclectic crop of tunes that aptly represent the California incarnation of Stand Up Eight. We get funky, we get folky, and then we rock the rock rock chickenrock (as Tony would say).But what's really exciting about this project is that it will be available to you, our loyal and patient fans, for ZERO dollars. Indeed--in this cybertronic age, we shall eschew the jurassic technology of the compact disc and offer you our musical progeny as free downloads through our website. You can pass them around, burn as many CD's as you want, post them on your personal blog, whatever--we promise the RIAA won't sue you. We're just really excited to share our new music with all of you.
So, we will keep you posted as the songs find their way to this very website.
Josh, Mike, and Tony Cut New Acoustic Songs
10.31.03 - On Saturday, October 25th, Josh, Mike, and Tony spent a day at the Ex'pression Center for New Media in Emeryville, CA, recording three new acoustic tunes. Two of the songs, "Cheyenne" and "Dancing Around," date back to our summer 2001 sojourn at Elk Creek Ranch in Wyoming, while a new tune, "Letting Go," rounds out the trio. As soon as these tracks are mixed and mastered, we will post them on this site as free downloads!New Album Title Suggestions:
7.27.03 - "Shooting the Moon" -Owen Fletcher"Love Lover"
"Where's Vince?"
"Engulf Me"
-Nader Akhnoukh
New Album Slated for Fall 2003
5.31.03 - Wondering why we haven't been playing too many shows of late? We are at work on songs for our third album, with plans to record this fall. At present it's looking like the album will highlight the folkier side of Stand Up Eight, though not without a few high-energy rockers that some might even categorize as "heavy." Whoa.The project is currently untitled, but history suggests that the title will have three words: the first a verb, the second a small article or preposition, and the third a noun having something to do with weight.
Got any good title ideas? E-mail them to mail@standupeight.net, and we will post them on this site.
