Chicago's YAKUZA has offered an update from the studio online (

records.com/yakuza-instudio.html ), in addition to posting some new video
footage on the band's MySpace page (
http://www.myspace.com/yakuza ) featuring the
video for "Chicago Typewriter," as well as live footage.
"Alright, got the drums done over at Electrical Audio - the home of Steve
Albini in Chicago," frontman Bruce Lamont said. "Now we have moved into
Volume Recording / Semaphore Studios for the duration of the recording for
Transmutations. Sanford [Parker, producer] (Minsk, Pelican, Rwake) is killin
it. Keep you posted."
YAKUZA began demoing new material in the band's hometown at Semifour Studios
for 'Transmutations' on Feb. 28 and is scheduled for a late 2007 release
through Prosthetic Records. 'Transmutations' will be the follow-up to last
year's critcally-acclaimed 'Samsara,' and the band will continue previewing
new material live Apr. 8 with Genghis Tron and labelmates Kylesa as well as
supporting Goatwhore on Apr. 20. Frontman / saxophonist Lamont will also
make appearances on March 15 for a SxSw showcase at room 710 at 8 pm in
Austin, TX and will follow that up with a March 16 appearance at the
Furniture Records showcase.
