While Stabbings has been off the radar somewhat since our last tour many things have been happening behind the scenes. Several great collaborations have been occurred along with some studio work of new Stabbings material. After the Beggars homecoming show with the Crystelles and Stabbings, Gitane Demone joined Jean-Paul in the studio to record vocal for a single of demented synth pop. Jean-Paul had already worked with John Humphrey in the studio to lay down some synth tracks, then we took advantage of Gitane being in town, woke up at the ungodly hour of 7am and made our way to the studio the morning after the show. Needless to say we were not in great shape but we had four hours together and finished a great record (something falling in between Depeche Mode and Laibach if you can picture that). Two songs "Come to Israel" and "Eulogy for Chris Northcutt" have been completed and are ready for release as soon as we find a label.
Along side that happening, the fabulous LA goth / black metal group Arcane Asylum contacted us and have since done two songs with Jean-Paul joining in on vocals, all via swapping files on the internet. We have yet to meet the people in this talented group but look forward to doing so on our next trip to LA. You can hear one of the tracks "Rumored Hope" on their myspace page which you will find a link to below.
Stabbings have been in the studio as well working on a new song that will be featured on a split 7" with the Crystelles, called "High on God". In the studio we were joined by the amazing Joy Von Spain on back up vocals in her demonic operatic style. The final mixes for the song will be finished in the next few weeks and hopefully due for release early next year. Although we will make it available for download on our website before that time.
We have had a blast working with so many talented and great musicians and hopefully will be doing a lot more of this in the future. In the mean time we are working on new songs, including a David Bowie cover and should be out on tour again sometime soon. Jean-Paul will be in LA next month and will be doing a few solo shows while in town, so keep in touch and we'll let you know where.
