After the breakup of Daycare For Dave "I decided to just write, sing and produce my own songs." I didn't want to (and couldn't) depend on four or five guys sticking it out as a group anymore. I learned a lot during the recording process of our final CD "Noize in the neighborhood", especially the engineering side. So I started "Addicted Records". I wanted to produce and engineer my debut solo CD "The right amount of drunk". It's great, I work when I'm inspired and I don't have to worry about the clock $$.
Some of the songs are left over ideas I had from the "DFD" days but most I started to write just for this CD. During the writing process my friend, bassist and songwriting partner Marshall came in and helped me with some chord changes, lyrics and background vocals. I'd say he co-wrote about a third of the CD.
In the studio I play all of the instruments, sing and shape all the loops. Marshall Davis does 90% of the backing vocals and most of the bass trax. Chuck Crenshaw (Rubicon, Red) plays keys on a few songs. I really like to include the live element in my recordings.
For the live shows it's the "Blue Widows" - Jeff Murphy (Allrise, Rubicon) on drums / backing vocals and Nori Iji (DFD, The Bunk) on Bass.
This CD is a blend of all my influences from Rock, Punk, Pop, Country and the Blues.
Also, I own & operate 3rd St. Studios. We work with Songwriters, Hip Hop artists, Rock, Pop, Country, Movie & Commercial producers etc.
$25.00 hr. with engineer. We also offer Online Mastering.

I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.
