			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last day in California! I have learnt many things! JHB hardly has homeless Dresden people compared to SF &#038; LA! Driving on the wrong side of the road is pretty crazy, but easy! Driving in snow is hardly different! Tahoe is beautiful! Vegas is fun for only 1 night, or if you have endless money! Small town America is like the Karoo with ghost mining towns! Tax isn&#8217;t included, &#038; is different in every state! Eveytime you turn on the radio, Hotel California is playing. Hank Moody isn&#8217;t driving around in his black Porsche all the time! Dresden solo man on Venice Beach plays guitar solo&#8217;s 24/7 whilst on his fruit boots! West Hollywood is called &#8216;boytown&#8217; for a reason I do not wish to disclose! SA has much prettier girls! Russian cab drivers &#8216;rig&#8217; the meters! You pay for parking everywhere, except Vegas! Blue Bottle coffee is the best! Starbucks sucks badly, but the &#8216;free&#8217; wifi is essentially what you are paying for. It&#8217;s always 4pm in LA, &#038; the sunsets are beautiful! Angels &#038; Kings is a damn rad club on Hollywood blvd with a plastic impala with AK 47&#8242;s coming out of it&#8217;s horns!!! Um, that&#8217;s about all I can say about that for now! Damn good times with Darren Leader Andrew Maskell Gregory Ross Carlin Wrighteous Mike Ryan Fray Findlay and a bunch of other crazy Noonga&#8217;s on the way!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s that time again&#8230; after spending 2 years touring non-stop, i am finally in the other place that i love so much; The Studio. &#8220;Second Album Woe&#8217;s&#8221; you might think, but really it&#8217;s turned out rather different i&#8217;d say. I have always said that making music, is the most fun a person can have. While this obviously excludes a lot of other of my favorite things to do, when it all comes together, it is in fact a wonderful feeling. We have been working full time since early 2010 on what is to be the follow up album to Collected Memories.</p>
<p>Yes, it&#8217;s different. It&#8217;s no longer just one, but now five. Five minds, ten hands, &amp; ten ears. Im about to spill over with excitement for these songs to be out there, on the interweb, in your car&#8217;s, and on your iPod&#8217;s. It has happened before, where great albums are capable of dying a horrible death. And how will our&#8217;s be different? It won&#8217;t, we can&#8217;t guarantee listenership or a fan base bigger then what we have already&#8230;but we can guarantee that we have put absolutely everything into making this album, and i hear that very same sound in my favorite albums.</p>
<p>Where do we go from here? We can&#8217;t come out the same, no surely not! We have to do more, better and with a difference. This is what i am going to spend the next few months thinking about.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure if you have ever been in an Anechoic Chamber of sorts, but its basically a room that is without (ane) any sort of reverb or even ambient sound (echoic). In other words, it is completely DEAD in there. There is absolutely NO room noise. It&#8217;s purpose is for testing microphones and speakers. I can&#8217;t really explain it, but it sure is the craziest place you will ever be in. Anyway, it&#8217;s a great place to hang out when we&#8217;re in studio and feeling like disappearing for a while. I like it there. Here&#8217;s the proof, by Greg Carlin:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The kind people that represent <a href="http://www.monstercable.com" target="_blank">Monster Cable</a> in South Africa, have given <a href="http://www.zebraandgiraffe.co.za" target="_blank">Zebra &amp; Giraffe</a> a Monster Deal! They make really amazing gold plated jacks, that are super long and keep your tone the way it should be&#8230;exactly the same when it leaves your guitar, through your pedals and to your amp&#8230;.the Rock cable is our choice, but they also make jazz cables with a &#8216;rolled off&#8217; tone kinda sound. Yes, cables do make a difference&#8230; and yes we love using Monster Cables!</p>
