Rest in peace my friend Dark!! Thanks for everything you gave to me, Renate and your support of The Vagrants while you were alive. I am glad there are so many that want to pay respects now, but I also hope you knew while you were alive how much we all loved you. Sometimes I think it is harder to live than to die, so life without you mate will be a little more lonely and empty. Flamboyant and brave, but a caring softy on the inside. You were the perfect combo.

Dark Rock Mullenger
The Vagrants Steve Iorio says...
Well we are all praying for Dark!!! Karie has done an amazing job keeping us up to date, but it is not looking good at the moment. Dark is a fighter, and I am sure he will not go down without a huge fight. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=597034934&v=wall&story_fbid=445603319934#!/profile.php?id=100000279524011

Vagrants Recording!!!
Well guys the first recording session is done. We got 6 songs done in a day!!! Drums, bass, rhythm guitar and a guide vocal. Day 2 we did extra guitar parts, and some re amping of the bass. We also listened to the takes that we did.
It is a bit of a dilemma at the moment because Andy Gardner and Ben Redlich were not always available to do all the gigs and recording so Renate and I have used Brett Spicer and Connor O'Neill for recording of the first few songs. It feels weird to not have Andy there for sure, but it has gone really well and Renate is singing extremely well.
I LOVE / HATE recording. It takes so long to get the microphones set up and actually EQ'd, line levels set, placement of the mic's for good sound and not in the way, and THEN we have to hit them all consistently to get the right sound. It too 6 hours to set up the drums!!! BUT... the sound is awesome. The waiting is torture but like most things in life, you go thru a bit of pain to get a result you really want and strive for.
Cheers,
Steve
