On Sept 12 and 13, 2011, Tokyo Tramps moved in to 37ft productions in Rockland, MA to record their sixth CD. The mission was to do the record 100% live in the studio, vocals and all. Producer Drew Townson was captivated by the energy and “mojo” the trio has when they play a live gig, and wanted to get that across on record. “Basically I wanted to set up some good mics, hit the red button and get the hell out of the way,” commented Townson. “Just wanted to let the Tramps do that thing they do! What was most important was to make the band comfortable. The studio was set up as a hybrid rehearsal space/small-club stage. The audio was already recorded for the bonus-track, ‘Baby Let’s Clean the House’. We had a video camera, so we just took a short break and shot the little crude vid. Then we went back to tracking the CD!”
