Studiostudio

Here's a video diary from the studio you've probably seen elsewhere before but I'll post it here anyway.







This week me and Joel are working out and fine-tuning the guitar and vocal parts for the upcoming studio sessions. We are working on the seven tracks still not recorded and with the five recorded prior to that we'll end up with 12 tracks for the album. Here's some of the working titles:

Dying To Tell You This
Slidin'
The City is Sleeping
Joe Hill
Only You
The Others
Tomorrow Is Gone

Let's hope we get it all done, shall we. :)

Peace & Love

An great album is taking shape

Hey all of you,

Finally summer's coming and the creativity is flowing. 

Two more days in the studio are over and all drum and bass tracks are now recorded. We'll continue with the remaining guitars and vocals later this spring. The album is scheduled to be released in autumn 2009.

Here's some pics from the latest studio session... enjoy!


So long,
Joel

New name and review

Hey everyone.

As you might have noticed the band you once knew as The Bad Habit is no longer. This is due to legal reasons beyond our control and not a choice of our own. After almost ten years with a band name it's not easy to make changes but we hope that both we, our selves, and you will adapt to the new name.

The good part is that we came up with an even better name - The Cajunga! The new name will carry on the spirit and good music of the old one and no personal changes have been made in the orchestra.

So, the band is still intact and recordings for the debut will continue next weekend with the recording of 6 more basic tracks.

For all of you living in Turku, we'll play at Kåren on the 30'th of April (Kårens Wappmiddag). Hope to see you all there.

More studio work done


Hey friends and fans!

We've just finished three more days in the studio, cutting vocals and some guitars. Oskar sure did a great job screaming into the microphone. Enjoy some pics from the session!

New songs come into life every day, and soon we'll record the remaining songs in order to complete the album. It'll be a great one!


Yours,

Joel

Reviews

Greetings everyone.

Found two new reviews of our old records. One is really good, which is great! :P

Chech them out!

In Your Face at Vertigo (in Finnish) here.

Your Favourite Habit at Backlash.se (in Swedish) here.

Still working on the new album. We've got four more songs rehearsed and are trying to find 2-3 more to go with them. More on that matter asap.

Take care!

Rehearsals and upcoming show.

Yo!

Yesterday we once again had the usual Monday rehearsals. We're currently concentrating on finding new songs that will fit the album and at the moment there are a few coming along. Of course there is still a long way to go before they're all finished but I think we're on the right path.

In the upcoming weeks we'll also hopefully be able to start cutting vocals and some overdub guitars for the songs already recorded. This project is also one that is rather time consuming and will probably keep us busy until the Christmas holidays.

To keep us even more busy we're going to play our first ever all unplugged gig at Pub Kåren on the 27'th of November. The Pub Nights are monthly events hosted by the Rock Association at Åbo Akademi University and we're thrilled to play a quieter set for a change.

It will be a special night in deed as we're rearranging our originals to fit the acoustic instrumentation. The two sets of the evening will future reworked original songs and covers by e.g. The Band and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

Hope to see you all there!

As for now, stay cool.

Back in Turku

Morjens!

We're back in Turku after two shows this weekend. Friday was great and Saturday even better. We had a blast with the boys from the Bullets and there are already plans for more dates together. It's always fun to be out on the road with the boys although the drive back to Turku took approximately 6 hours (!) due to a ridiculous amount of coffee breaks.

If you're living in around Jakobstad you can watch my appearance on "Gäst i Röda Soffan" (A local talk show) this Tuesday at 20:15 on Jakobstads NärTv. They will show some live videos of The Bad Habit and I will be talking about music and what being in a band is all about.

Also, if you are interested, check out this months issue of Soundi Magazine for a review of In Your Face.

Hope to see all of you again soon. Thanks to the Bullets for good company and great music this weekend.

Se on moro,

Oskar
