Rob says: "Recording a live band in a bar as small as the spotted cat was an interesting experience.  We pretty much had an entire recording studio setup in there at the time.  Everything was tucked away in the corner. After the sound check, we spent most of the time trying to stay out of the way of the cameras.  In the end, I think the small size of the room with all the people in it helped to make the recording have more of a live sound."
