Shatner Book Studio Time for Nazareth Cover and New Material
Boston trio Shatner have booked studio time at Amps vs. Ohms to track their cover of Nazareth‘s “Whiskey Drinking Woman.” The three-piece, which features members of We’re all Gonna Die — guitarist/vocalist Jim Healey and bassist Jesse Sherman — and Cocked ‘n’ Loaded — drummer Rob Davol — are just over a month removed from the release of their debut EP. Called simply EP, that five-track outing was also recorded in Cambridge, MA, at Amps vs. Ohms, and in addition to the Nazareth tune, which will be included in Underdogma Records‘ upcoming tribute, Go Down Fighting, the band will reportedly be putting down a few new originals as well.
That Shatner would be taking part in the Underdogma tribute to Nazareth makes sense, as We’re all Gonna Die released their three full-lengths through the label between 2004 and 2008. While that band played a could reunion shows last year, Davol‘s band, Cocked ‘n’ Loaded called it quits last Fall after building a considerable reputation locally. How or if that momentum will carry over into Shatner remains to be seen. They have shows booked for later next month and November in New Hampshire and Allston, but more interesting is that they’re talking about hitting the road in 2016. I’ll look forward to seeing how that pans out and just how much touring they’re looking to do.
For now, here’s their update:
