Deniz returned to Montana this month with the goal of recording the basic tracks for his new album. Work began in Billings where the thirteen new demos were reviewed. Time was also allotted to add guitar solos on two of the new Donovan’s Brain tracks. The following week the Deniz, Ric Parnell and Ron Sanchez regrouped in Bozeman for three days of recording. The final day was dedicated to recording a live in the studio performance which will be broadcast in July. One of the live tracks, a cover of the 1969 Fleetwood Mac single Oh Well has been selected for the B-side of a new Career single. Another single will be available at the tour merch table. This one features the album track Can Of Soup on the top side. The flipside is a previously unreleased instrumental Song For Dave.

Deniz Tek will be returning to the studio in early May to resume work on the follow up to Detroit. Several songs were recorded in the summer of 2013. It is hoped the balance of the album can be tracked over the two days scheduled. Deniz, Ric Parnell and Bob Brown will also be recording a radio session for Jack Rabid. Time has also been booked for Deniz to added guitar to the new Donovan’s Brain album.

Dates for a June European Tour should be confirmed soon. What for that announcement.

Expect a pair of singles at the end of summer. The plan is to release a Deniz Tek 45 and a Nomads – Donovan’s Brain split EP. This will be all unreleased material. Deniz plans to record the A-side when he visits in May. The flip was recorded during the course of the Detroit sessions.

Donovan’s Brain are offering up a song recorded for Turned Up Later, but not used. A second Brain track may be added to their side. The Nomads contribute a cover of an unreleased Brain song they recorded in 1999. This also features appearances by Richard Treece and Ron Sanchez.
