New Bathtub Marys Site Launched

We’ve finally given the Bathtub Marys site the facelift it desperately needed. We’re still working on getting the content up to date and launching the new “Gear” section where you’ll find Bathtub Marys CDs and paraphernalia. Who wouldn’t want a Mike Tamburro bobble-head doll?

Guitarasaurus and Chordzilla at Paris on the Platte

Guitarasaurs and Chordzilla played before us at Paris on the Platte this last Monday night doing an acoustic flamenco set that was outstanding.  Check out their Facebook page and put them on your “To See” list.

Colin Hay at L2 Arts & Culture Center in Denver

The band had a night out last Saturday to see Colin Hay at the L2 Arts & Culture Center on Colfax in Denver. You may recall him as the front man for Men At Work, though he’s now on this 11th solo album, Gathering Mercury. I saw him last year when he was in town and this show was just as impressive. Not only is he a fantastic song-writer, he’s a very funny man. If you get a chance, see him.

Highlands Ranch July 4th Show (A.K.A. – Fried Marys)

Bathtub Marys just played at a July 4th celebration in Highlands Ranch and it just might have been the hottest gig of all time. Mind you, not “hot” in the sense of a tight, rocking show but rather “hot” as in Fahrenheit — all 104 of them. Fortunately we were playing on the back of a truck that was metal on all but one side so it created a nice convection oven effect. Nevertheless, good times.

Happy fourth to you all.

Checkout Over the Mountain Recording Studio

Over the Mountain Recording Studio

We’ve been asked by several people where we record.  While we do some digital recording straight from the board at our rehearsal space, our ‘real’ recording has been done at Over the Mountain Recording Studio (OTMRS) in Littleton, Colorado by Brian Madden. I had personally come to loath studio sessions as tedious experiences with unaccommodating audio engineers. OTMRS changed that perception. Brian was flexible, attentive to our ideas and ready with solid advice when we asked.

 

Brian knew how to get the best out of us in our recording and kept us involved in the entire experience. We can’t wait to get back in for more recording.
