Rancid Recording New Album with George Lucas
posted by RichmanVA
Psych! Just kidding, but they are recording at Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch. According to an L.A. Times piece on the compound:
“Outside the theater I see some guys with tattoos and skater-metal hair. It’s the band Rancid, visiting the ranch scoring stage for a three-week album session. (The place has lot of music clients; the Rolling Stones, Herbie Hancock, Faith Hill, Third Eye Blind and Kronos Quartet have recorded here, some looking for the perfect acoustics, others for a studio with no pubs in sight).
As I pass Rancid, they are discussing the vagaries of punk-rock credibility while sipping tea and coffee drinks. I bite my tongue and keep walking.”
