Their debut album, Volume One: Frozen Ropes and Dying Quails, was recorded at Jackpot! Studios in Portland, Oregon, with producer Adam Selzer, and released earlier this year on the YepRoc record label.
The Baseball Project kicked off their current tour with a free outdoor concert in downtown Portland, Oregon. These video clips feature some of the highlights from that performance, playing material from their first album, and the long-anticipated forthcoming follow-up release; as well as songs from Dream Syndicate and Young Fresh Fellows.

Video captured with a Canon G-9; audio recorded with Church-Audio binaural cardiod mics.
Sources synched, edited, and mastered in iMovie on a Mac G-5.
I should also like to mention that the microphones used to record these live tracks were a prototype set of CA-11 cardiod mics; made in Canada by Chris Church, of Church Audio.
A selection of Chris' hand-built mics and pre-amps can beviewed at the Church Audio eBay Canada store.
All of the music on this page was recorded with some of this G E A R.
