AUGUST CD • December 2009 - February 2010
Recorded at World Stage Studios
AUGUST was proud to be invited to record their CD at World Stage Studios in Burr Ridge, IL. Legendary IDES OF MARCH co-founder and guitar player, Larry Millas, who is also renowned for his expertise as a sound engineer, did the recording. With the exception of vocals, there was no overdubbing or layering of instruments to enhance the sound of the band. What you hear IS the band — no tricks.
AUGUST is also proud that legendary singer, songwriter, Jim Peterik (IDES OF MARCH, "Vehicle", "L.A. Goodbye", and "Eye of the Tiger" for Survivor), performed with us on "Run Back to Mama", which he co-wrote with the late Bill Chase.
The following photos were taken during the recording session.

Return Performance
August 22, 2007, Walter Payton's Roundhouse, Aurora, IL
On Wednesday, August 22, 2007, AUGUST returned to the stage for the first time since August 29, 1976 to a packed house at Walter Payton's Roundhouse in Aurora, IL.
This outdoor performance was cut short by a strong thunderstorm that blanketed the area, but not before the band re-established themselves with a brief, yet powerful 6-song set.
