Search - Showin' Tell :: Tuesday Afternoon

Basic tracking for Tuesday Afternoon was completed at Rubal?s Seventh Wave Studio, with the track ?Lie to Me? recorded at MoonTree Studio, (owned by guitarist Chad Taylor of Live) and the piano-based song ?Farewell? recorded at DC?s prestigious Cue Studio (Dave Matthews Band, Garbage, 311). Tuesday Afternoon was then mastered by John Golden (Primus, Sonic Youth, Mike Watt) in Ventura, CA. With a perfectly sequenced mix of ballads, mid-tempo anthems and hard rocking fan favorites, Tuesday Afternoon reflects the broad, cross genre appeal of Showin? Tell?s brand of rock. From Nicolino?s pummeling cadences that introduce the classic hard rock groove of ?Better Off? to the simple acoustic guitar and hand percussion accompaniment of ?Lie To Me? the album offers a flavor to please every palette.On ?What If?? a guitar heavy ballad about unforeseen complications arising from infidelity, Jeska?s voice recalls the smoldering, sultriness of The Motels? Martha Davis. ?Removed You? (Rubal?s choice as a personal favorite) was also included on Adoration, but has received a revamped arrangement for Tuesday Afternoon. Says Jeska of her songwriting process, ?All of my songs are personal. Nothing is exactly my story, but my lyrics paint a picture inspired by my experience, which I then adapt so the song can apply to anyone going through a similar situation. To start though, the lyrics have to be in my heart. I can?t write something I?m not feeling.? Rubal?s success at translating the energy of Showin? Tells live performance to CD is best heard on the track ?Medicine,? a slow grooving revenge fantasy highlighted by Jeska?s torchy vocals, Nic?s percussive nuances and Derek?s rhythmic undertow. ?Medicine? is one of those songs that are recognizable from the first chord I play,? says Jeska. ?It?s a favorite of the hardcore fans that come to our shows every week and as soon as I hit that first chord they get into it and start dancing. It?s awesome to hear people singing along with our songs.?
