We are happy to debut the 282 Toilet Sessions, wherein we invite local up and coming bands to Toilet Records’ 282 North Henry Studio to perform and record an exclusive live set. The live sets will be released monthly here on the site, high quality, free MP3 downloads. The goal of 282 is to capture and showcase the band’s live set by focusing on producing the highest quality recording without any editing or over dubbing. We were happy to welcome Leilolai to the studio in April and have them kick off this series. You can find out more about Leilolai on their Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/leilolai).
