Alkaline Trio - Hot For Preacher: Album Pre-Production (2023) - The Alkaline Archive

Recently discovered footage from the initial pre-production rehearsals for Blood, Hair & Eyeballs on February 18, 2023, in North Hollywood, CA. Filmed by manager extraordinaire Blair Dickerson. I'm pretty sure this is the only footage of us working on songs before going into the studio (where we spent another week or two writing). The camera audio was pretty bad, so it's synced to a recording from later that day or the day after. Clearly, the building was haunted (or we were conjuring ghosts), which is evident from the orbs seen throughout the video (I'm only half-joking). Sadly, this is most likely the last of the footage from the album aside from the two drum tracking videos I posted previously (links below). Had I known that it would be my last album with the band, I would have better documented things - hindsight=20/20.
