So folks have been asking what Kill'n Karma has been up to.... Well, we've been rehearsing for the May 18th show. Here's a sneak peak for just a moment of one of the new tunes (there's a few) we've added. This is a kick-ass tune called Last Resort by Papa Roach, performed tonight at Soundhammer Studio during the rehearsal. Enjoy!

Enough time has passed so that I can say this....
ONE of the many secret works that I have done here at my Soundhammer Studio, is that I all the voice overs for the MTV show "Teen Mom" were all done here at my Soundhammer Studio. It was an honor to work with the actresses and the MTV Entertainment Group and Paramount Media Networks and aid in the production of that show. When I see that show....I just secretly smile :-)

It's a pleasure for Soundhammer Studio to be hosting the recording session for Night Songs upcoming demo. Night Songs is a very cool tribute band to the 80's Metal music of Cinderella. I've known these guys and gals for a while now since they opened up for my previous band more than a year ago. They are incredibly talented and fun people to work with. I was quickly drawn to them by thier halarious personalities and incredible renditions of Cincerella songs. We'll have the works out shortly and some studio vids to show the fun of it all. If you've not caught their act, go seem them April 1st at the Thirsty Beaver in Crestwood, IL. Tomorrow night, they perform for ME!...ha. Let's give them a "hell yeah!" of support folks!
Eric Ballenger - Lead Vocals (M&M pimp/pusher)
Jill LuneNoire - Backup Vocals (Eric's personal babysitter)
