SWEET+TALKER - It's Christmas, Please Come Home December 20 2012 By: Kevin Fisher

 Hey 8123'ers!

 This last week I sat down and wrote my first ever Christmas song! I was very pleased with it, and thought why not record it quick and put it out just in time for the holidays? So that's what I did. I also wanted to give it away for FREE in light of the season.."It's Christmas Please Come Home" will be available for free download here at 8123 this weekend! Hope you enjoy!

Much Love,

Kevin

Hello Everyone! Kevin here. I wanted to share some photos from my trip to Los Angeles, where I recorded 5 songs for my upcoming EP. I recorded with Will McCoy with the help of some great friends. My trip was one of the most fulfilling experiences I can remember in quite a long time! I can't wait to share these songs with you! Here are some photos from my journey, hope you enjoy!

 

Amps galore...Had alot of fun with these!


The view from the house I stayed in while recording...not too shabby!

Will McCoy working his magic behind the board.


Lauren From The New Limb absolutely killing it with keyboard sounds. 


Late night vocal sessions...and by late I mean 2 a.m.


Carman from He Is We putting incredible lead guitar over each song!

The 8123 Sessions: Sweet Talker "This Is War" September 11 2012 By: Tim Kirch

The 8123 Sessions: Sweet Talker "This Is War"

Check out a live performance at the 8123 offices featuring Sweet Talker and Friends. Check out Sweet Talkers official store HERE


A Note from Kevin Fisher of Sweet Talker: Hello all, Kevin from Sweet Talker here. About a month ago some good friends and myself shot a performance video of my new single "This Is War." The video was shot by Chee Tram in our very own 8123 office. That morning I woke up early and transformed Tim Kirch's office into the setting you see inside the video. The performance started out as a drum machine, Austin Gibbs on bass, Trey Nickelsen on lead guitar, Matt Nasty on keys, and myself on rhythm guitar and vocals. However, to my excitement we were fortunate enough to add Kennedy Brock on guitar and Garrett "Karaoke Destroyer" Nickelsen on drums. The performance is quite the departure from the recorded version, but in a good way. I wanted to incorporate a Fleetwood Mac type of feel to show a more emotional stripped down aspect of the song. We shot the performance about 5 or 6 times and had a blast. I can't thank the guys enough for making this video so special, I couldn't be happier and only hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!
