Casa Bonita is powerfully good! I can't believe it took me this long to find out!
Thank you very much! That makes me feel so warm 'n fuzzy.. FEELS GOOD MAN
There's now one more demo up on the myspace (Take 'N' U Shall Receive); it's a bit HARSH but it completes the new material which'll be debuted at the Shortscale London show! Hymn sheets will be available on the door.
Newest demo from CB (fake drums, as per), hopefully making its debut at the Black International/Fashoda Crisis/Casa Bonita/ tagteam match in London at the end of September.

What a welcome post. This is freakishly good stuff, and fake drums certainly don't detract from the sheer energy and technical goodies going on. Wish I had your chops/ideas at a younger age!
And how exactly did you create those that glitchy POGish things?
Thanks chapz! The glitchy two octave up stuff is the Boss PS-5, low octave stuff is the MicroPOG. The Boss tracks great on single note stuff, but chords make it warbley and squirm somewhat, much like the Whammy. I love the sound they make together, it's like an odd harmonica/organ being sick over itself.
Oh, and the delay is a pingpong setting on the M9 used in mono. Two repeats rather than one? NOHH PRUBLEM.

Love love love this!
hear hear. Weird timings and staccato riffs ahoy. Absolutely blinding.
ps. how you go about structuring the programmed drums to something like this, espesh with the pauses is completely beyond me. It would take me literally years.
I'll admit it does take time to programme the drums, but the song normally comes together over time, it's not a "sit down and do the whole song in one go" kinda thing.
With "free pauses" (where there's no obvious count at all in the gap) I'll normally programme a quick little count-in for reference when recording the guitar and vocals, and I'll remove it later, and close the gap up a little.
Doog, this stuff is pretty sweet! Reminds me of Succio Perro quite a lot, but possibly even better! I'm looking forward to listening properly during my commutes this week!
I don't think I've posted this already, but my buddy and bandmate James (drums in both Casa Bonita and CAUTIONHORSES) put together this tasty retelling of a Doog song from the recent EP, it's rad!
The original song is quite monotonous and downbeat so it's an interesting dichotomy or something:
