Steelesque would like to thank my Dad, Bob Eldridge– Bobz Art for drawing our new album cover. The name of our new record is “Toro Toro”. More news to follow.

New Record Update

In the spirit of keeping folks in the loop….

We are very close to the end result.  Most all tracking has been completed at Innovation Studio.  Mike Ofca has sprinkled his expertise and pulled some absolute beautiful sounds for this record.  We will be completing all percussion and guitar leads in Sonic Planet Music to stay within our budget.

We went in and recorded 9 songs.  After a full effort we moved forward with 6.

1. Bury Them Bones
2. Keith Lights A Cigarette
3. Mon River
4. Price Of Your Toll
5. Ferriswheel
6. Seekin’ & Hidin’

Realistically, we plan on a spring release with shows to follow.  The record is currently titled “Toro Toro”.

This week we will continue to flush out percussion ideas with RonJon Castelluci.

See you all soon!

Toro Toro Sessions – Steelesque

The Toro Toro Sessions have gone really well.  The band certainly benefited from all the pre-production recordings over the winter.  Recording engineer, Mike Ofca, has been great throughout the process and we have tracked rhythm tracks for 9 songs.

“I’m having a fantastic time working with Steelesque. They’re all true professionals at what they do, and the vibe in the studio has been great. Creativity at its best!”

~ Mike Ofca – Producer/Engineer Innovation Studios

Drums sit beautifully in the mix right now and drummer, Bruce Virtue, played superbly. Most songs were tracked in less than 2 takes.  Same goes for the work bassist, Jerry Courtney, who’s ability to create a solid pocket really gives Steelesque their boogie. Tracking guitars for the next couple weeks.

Steelesque Frontman, Rob Eldridge “Feed The Wolf”

Thank You Adam PacMan Taylor galaxy454 for your very cool interpretation of a tune I recorded with Steven Foxbury Yellow Couch Studioa couple years ago. Tune is called “Feed The Wolf”. The entire record is available on vinyl and can be heard on most all streaming services and Apple Music Rob Eldridge- Ideas To Art. Mastered by Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering. Dig in!

VS1 It’s not what you stare at – it’s more what you see Knee deep in the different – our knees shake in the streams I’m considered rich with my wants being cheap Pockets full of stubborn – is all that you keep Chorus: Doesn’t matter if you feed the wolf So feed the wolf It’s never enough, never enough And walk through his woods Doesn’t matter if you feed the wolf To a soft bed of pine It’s never enough, never enough Fingers through fur, so wild to the touch, together you’ll dine VS2 Beneath all the skin – time flows through the heart The fabric is wider and no seams come apart Our feet walk to meet but stop at locked doors It’s all set adrift in a boat with no oars

Steelesque Brings Entourage To Ohio

We are pleased and excited to work with Mike Ofca, at Innovation Studios, in Steubenville, OH. The Toro Toro sessions will officially move from Sonic Planet Studios.  We just felt we outgrew the process.  To make a proper rock and roll record we needed to find a space and an engineer that could capture the live essence of the band.  We learned more about the songs throughout the pre-production phase of the project.  I was very intrigued and opportunistic with the sounds coming out of Innovation Studios and the Avid 16 x 16 Analog HD Interface. Steelesque will begin tracking this Wednesday, Aug 10th. The Weirton, WV part of Steelesque have a good relationship w Mike Ofca and like the location of the studio.
