Got all the final masters in order on a disc! Gonna give it the car test…feel’s great to be at this stage of the game!
Mixing is Done! Mastering coming soon. Can’t wait for you to hear it!!
Watched Tye Trujillo and roxy last night. Blown away with Tye’s baddass bass playing. Surreal being at the Roxy w/ my daughter when I was on the very same stage around their age. Check them out!
We just finished mixing the 7th track …”Away”on the new album .
Here’s a little taste of the intro.
Bass is done!!

Bass is DONE!!!
In the studio this past week mixing
Just picked up my 1974 Gibson Les Paul custom from Eric’s Guitar Shop and this thing is sooo dialed in!!!
Brought a couple guitars to Eric’s Guitar Shop today and had him talk a bit about my 73 Strat “Fork”. And another significant thing about Eric’s was meeting Brent Hoffort in the early 2000s when he worked there and he’s been my writing partner ever since!!
I THINK guitars are done for this record. Just a bass on one track and mixing left.
Great stuff today…Octavia pedal, mutron flanger, phase 90 and DOD stereo chorus did the job. Mellotron also …
Teasers coming soon.
Thanks for keeping up with us and the process!
9:30 am and getting ready for some screaming guitars!!
Morning Duncan coffee with Robbie and Jeff. Finished vocals on the last 3 tunes and back in studio around the 20th. Can’t wait for you all to hear this!
Day 2: Finishing vocals
Day 1: Coffee
Getting ready for days session and going through the gear and mic set up. Good to be working on new music!
We’ve been getting a bunch of messages looking for the official Farmikos album released in 2015. More have been ordered and it’s available now on Amazon

Up here in Cambria enjoying the beach. This is my brother from another mother Jeff Biebuyck . We played together in a band in the early 90’s called Alien Ink and he was the singer. Jeff’s the guy that’s been pushing and posting the new content on social media. We took some great footage for the new album art and video content. So grateful to have this guy in my life all these years
Robbie’s plane ticket is booked for the beginning of March to finish vocals for the last three songs for this record
My Jeep is finally home in LA after 3 years in AZ. This old friend has been on the entire musical journey since 1989!
“Lay You Low” - Rich talkin time signatures. Working on getting Robbie out here to finish vocals on these songs and wrap this batch up!
Such a cool spot to play in!
Happy New Year from Malibu from me and my daughter! Hope 2023 is a year filled with happiness and good health for you all!
Here’s a little clip of something I learned in 2000 while taking a handful of lessons from Ted Greene. This is not going on the record but I love the way my 1941 Martin 000-18 plays and records. I’m so grateful for this guitar and for the time I got to spend with Ted. If you are not familiar with Ted Greene look him up on YouTube or invest in one of his books. He’s one of the great masters!!!
Sitting here drinking coffee on a rainy winter day listening to the tracks from the past couple days. Really digging on the the guitar tones and how the songs are coming along
Finally back at The Mousehouse with Rich for two full days…. Let’s see what we come up with! Let the playing begin!!
Song #5 Pretty cool having Ryo Okutomo throw down some Hammond Organ

Speak Into the Sea - Check out the solo teaser!
I love the way this turned out in “Cross Eyed Stare”. Such a cool raw riff in a odd time. Mike Bordin played his ass off 💥🤯! Brent knocked it out of the park with the lyrics and vocal melodies and Robbie sang his ass off. Twisted solo coming soon!
Here is another one. “Okin” is 7 minutes of pure HEAVY. This one will be brutal live!
