Welcome to our first ever video podcast! I'm an audio guy, so hopefully this will work. If you've been following King Never's Twitter and/or Facebook feeds, you've probably deduced that King Never is no longer a studio project. Yes, I've put a band together. Joining me are bassist Jordan Reading and drummer Evan Parandes.

In this episode, I ask for help recording background vocals for “Hotel Desolation.” Yes, this is your chance to really get involved with the new album. Download “Hotel Desolation” here to record your vocals. Align this mp3 file at beat one in your sequencer and set the tempo to 125 bpm. You should hear 4 clicks before the song begins. Record at either 16 or 24 bit (44.1kHz).
Here are the lyrics:
Checking in to.... Checking out of this life. Welcome all ye feeble minded. Checking in to.... Checking out of this life. Hotel Desolation.
Drop your mp3 mix of the track with your background vocals in the "DropBox" below. If I like what I hear, I'll ask you for a full bandwidth version via email.
