MORE GYRO TATTS!

Another Gyro Cat tattoo from Frog Delacroix in Perth. Just Awesome.

I'd been looking for ideas for Gyro ink for a while but had been stuck trying to come up with something that represented Gyro and all the great times and the good people that I've met at Gyro shows over the years. Problem was, it also had to fit with the pieces I already had. Then Zok posted the first Gyro tattoos post and I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner -- the cat! So my black cat is for all the cool cats in and around Gyroscope.

Thanks Frog, Legendary!

TRACKING STARTS TODAY!!!

Well ladies n gentlemen, after 2 gruelling weeks of pre-production the studio has been completely re-modelled and set up for the onset of trackin- focusing on the drums first...so it looks at the Robby will be under the microscope for the next week or 2!!

We are up to three extra chaps in the studio Gil our producer, Joe our engineers, Richo our assistant engineer and a pro tools genius starts today...more dudes working on this recrord than you can poke a stick at!! All good.

So to kick this week off, here's a few snaps of Raglan Castle in Wales. We had a spare 5 minutes from the studio the other day for sight seeing...amazing ruins dating back to the 1600's...! (p.s. there's always time for a bow and arrow gag in the Gyro camp! haha)

P.s. HUGE english band in the 70's called Mott the Hoople have been sharing the studios here with us as they've been warming up for reunion shows here in the UK...we had some wind up beers with them and their buddy Joe Elliot from Def Leppard (how good)..wishin those lads all the best with their upcommin shows. Not that they need it- those guys have been rockin out since before the Gyro boys we're twinkles in our parents eyes. Haha.

Gyro's - Live From Rockfield!!!

Here's a little clip of us jamming a song during pre production.. Still not sure if this one will make the album yet but it feels damn good to play thats for sure.. Check it out party animals!!

VIEWS FROM INSIDE THE STUDIO!

Hey all! Things are going along famously over here in Monmouth, Wales. After writing over 30 songs over the past year- we've narrowed down the tracks in pre-production over the past 2 weeks to 15 lucky songs. And really 3 or them are gunna get booted off this final list very soon (so not so sure they are 'lucky' tracks just yet?? Huh?) Anyways..our good buddy Will has been hangin' ten with us the last few days and has shot a bunch of shots inside the studio on his 'you bewt' SLR as a fly on the wall...so without furtha-ado...here's whats happening in the world of Gyroscope's Album #4 Recording..in picture format! Massive shout out to our new best friend Gil, special mentions to assitant engineer Richie 'the party animal' and last but not least to Happy Henry (the inflatible fun guy) oh and of course, thanks to Will for the great shots!

The Man, The Myth, The Legend. Brad Campbell

Hey Everyone,

So I have finally got around to a bit of GyroBlog action. So we are now into wk 2 of PreProd and the tunes are starting to really take shape. there have been some interesting developments in the kind of album we have decided to make, but I'll tell you more about that another time.

Apart from all the playing, writing and recording there has been lots of fun times here at Rockfield. It really is such a relaxing place. We all very excited when the package below arrived that's for sure!

Apart from hiding in really big boxes. My curley haired friend and rhythm section compadre Brad has done some phenominal bass playing on the tunes for this record. I cant wait for you to hear them. Lots of great bass parts, runs and sections. Well done Brad. You make me feel like a proud parent!

The other super exciting thing has been working with the truley exceptional Gil Norton. To have Gil producing this album is a real dream come true for all of us. He is super nice guy, great to drink a nice glass of vino with (particulaly white) and most importantly a really gifted producer. We are so honoured to have his wisdom and insight helping us craft these tunes. Gil also happens to be a great table tennis player. Here are a few snaps of the great man hard at work! Take care guys and stay tuned to gyroscope.com.au MUCH LOVE - ROB

Baby, I'm Eddie Vedder

Hey guys n gals...another blog installment from the beautiful field of Rock...

Things are going along famously nearing the end of the first week of pre-production...!

It's Friday night at 8:15pm and we're getting into the after dinner session in Studio 2 here, and even tho you guys may think all we do here is neck bottles of wine (well, we do kinda) but we mix that shit in with long hours in the studio goin over and over, and over, these songs til they're exactly how we want them. So far we're sorta decided on about 5 tracks that are definately runnin on the new record and we're feelin very bloody excited about this rock album!

And the funny thing about today is- that with every album we've made there's always a dark horse demo that we've had that we're either not 100% happy with, or that we feel simply doesn't rock as much as the other 30 or so songs that we've written (haha we have written a shit load really) but yeh, a song called Baby, I''m Gettin' Better took on some sort of new life force as we overhauled the track today in the studio with Producer/Mastermind Gil Norton and is feeling like a great rock song indeed. We are happy men.

But for now i gotta get back to work with my bros crafting this 4th album.

Good, good times.

(More wine, waiter please...anyone remember that tune?? haha)

A few snaps.
