I dreamed of recording a live album at a show – since that proved to be a huge undertaking, we took a page from the playbook of music video directors from the 1980′s and recorded More Songs About Buildings and Cat Food “live without an audience”
we are officially back for RPM 2012! we’re going to try some new tricks this year. we’re going to record everything live. no overdubs just tons and tons of takes until we get it ready. check out what we’ve been up to so far ….

i found this sheet of paper recently – it’s got the lyrics to grey cat strut on one side and electro-war ballad in plain d on the other
After 28 days of grueling work, our 2011 RPM challenge album is finished: HERE COME THE WARM CATS.
“Sgt. Wesman’s Logan Square Friends Band doesn’t satirize The Beatles on its latest release, Sticky Whiskers, but there is a definite 1960s vibe that runs through most of the CD. Led by SGT. WESMAN, this collective creates tripped-out psychedelic rock on songs like ‘Going Nowhere,’ but opts for a classic new-wave approach on the catchy fun of ‘In The Kitchen.’ WESMAN’s studio posse succeeds at a variety of genres, but a cleaner production would have made this effort even more impressive. ” – Terrence Flamm
the one-and-only physical copy of sticky whiskers arrived at RPM headquarters this week – this year’s album is officially, officially complete
well – it’s official – it’s march – rpm 2010 is over and sticky whiskers is complete except for the artwork which is in progress – listen online or download mp3 or cd-quality versions – i hope you like it!
