Hello everybody hope your doing allright .pre production work has started on our new album Sirenita Blues(Mermaid Blues) album...Eloy has suggested a 7 song E.P. ..AS..as opposed to the original 5 songs.....we are getting by the economy has really fucked us around as a band,but we keep pushing foreward... anyway ...another cool pawnshop find recently....we are happy to report...Monday December 5th 2011 ,Texas Joe decided to go ahead..and purchase a Yamaha 12 string guitar (model FG 411S) he had found in a local Brownsville, Texas pawn shop several days earlier...at great sacrifice....as money is hard to come by right now...but with a few card tricks...and game plays ...was able to have an early Christmas present ha ha ! ..the guitar sounds great and will be used for the new albums we are recording. It was common knowledge in the band that we would need a second 12 string guitar ..for several reasons...number one..as a recording instrument for the new album...it has a differant tone to his original Yamaha FG 413 12 S model 12 string guitar...plus as coffee house and small gigs are on the horizon...it was prudent ..to get another 12 string in the guitar arsenal. Needless to say the guitar (Yamaha FG411 12 S) sounds amazing...its powerful and more bright...so it compliments our other Yamaha 12 string very well...below are some pictures...
above Texas Joe trying out Yamaha FG 411 12 string in studio for the 1 st time..it will be on new recordings very soon...it is already up on You Tube ..! just check out Valles Flying Machine video collection it was uploaded a few days ago...
Whats better than one Yamaha 12 string guitar..? why 2 Yamaha 12 string guitars of course ! ha ha ! on your left is Yamaha FG413 12 S model...it has a very warm punchy tone...and to your right is a Yamaha FG411 12 S model ...it is a more bright sounding guitar...both will compliment each other very well while double trackig on the new Mermaid Blues album by the Valles Flying Machine...
Yesterday December 10th Saturday 2011 we were suppose to play a gig @ KMBH studios parking lot but due to the fact that there was cold rain and drizzle we decided to forgoe the 3 song gig we were supose to do....sometimes you have to make tuff decisions for many reasons...yesterday was one of them...
