Forget the Past recording sessions begin

Greg and The Trains started recording the new album, Forget the Past, last week in Auckland at The LAB. The project helmed by producer and drummer Wayne Bell is Greg's fourth record, a follow up to 2012's critically acclaimed Edge of the City. Greg and longtime guitarist John Segovia are joined by Andrew Thorne (guitar), Mark Hughes (bass), Wayne Bell (drums) and Nick Duirs (keyboards). 12 songs were tracked and lead vocals and the majority of overdubs were done in four frantic days. The tracks range from the political to personal, from sleepless kids to emptying summer cities,from Bethells Beach to New Mexico to jaywalking in downtown Auckland. Recording continues this weekend. The album is scheduled for a March/April 2014 release.
