The Alleycats at the Boom Boom Room, 3-31-11


I was excited to perform at the Boom Boom Room for the first time on 3/31. With the velvet curtain, stage & our own announcer, I felt like a total star. The Alleycats have some more exciting venues coming up soon - check my calendar (to the right) for more details!

Recording at Hyde Street Studio C


The Cosmo Alleycats recorded our first album at the legendary Hyde Street Studio C on February 27, 2011. Home to recording artists such as Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, and Creedence Clearwater Revival, Studio C was the perfect place for our live-style record. And incidentally, according to the Continuum Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World, the members of CCR dubbed Studio C "Cosmo's Factory" because their drummer (Doug "Cosmo" Clifford) spent so much time there. The album of the same name was recorded in Studio C. How fitting!

We're currently in the throes of mixing, mastering, and creating the album artwork, but the final product should be ready soon. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek at one of our rough mixes from that day:
