  The Demo

The vast majority (90%) of the demo was recorded on February 5th 2005 .

There were a total of 17 songs recorded in a span of 5 to 6 hours including setup and prep time.  It felt like a long day to crank out all those songs (normally it could take many many more hours to professionally produce that amount) but our intent was to only create a demo disk.

All of the drums, bass, guitar, and most of the sax were done that day.  Vocals and a few odds and ends were recorded on February 6th in a span of a 3 - 4 hours.  

We made a conscious effort to keep this demo as raw, unprocessed, and true to our musicianship
in order for potential clients to be able to hear an honest sense of the bands diversity, dynamics, and talent. 

The demo is comprised of 13 snippets of songs to get an idea of the various styles we play. The file is about 11 MB.

Official Tinted Blue Demo

Short movie clip from Newport Blues Café - Newport Rhode Island

This was taken on a digital (not video) camera and it's pretty low-tech-shabby quality, but it's a start. At some point we'll get something pretty cool. It's a Windows Media file - only about 2.5MB in size.

Live Recordings

The following are some samplings of a live performance taken on September 25th 2004 at Grumpy's Pub & Grub in Plainville CT.  The sound quality isn't perfect but it includes some crowd interaction. It was done with very limited recording equipment using one live microphone but you'll get the idea of the energy we convey.
 

Everybody's Everything - Santana - I dare you not to tap your foot or nod your head

Good Time - Arc Angels - who is that babe...?

Get Ready - Temptations - Mike doing double duty with lead vocals

She's It - Smokin' Joe Kubek - a song that most people have never heard

Honey White - Morphine - something different - RIP Mark Sandman

Beer Drinkers and Hellraisers - ZZTop - last song of a long night
