Shouting and Pointing is William Gillis and Michael Kapellas. The band wishes to offer special thanks to Scott Myrick and Matt Puskar for their help on this record. The album was recorded with a PSR-E413 keyboard, a Jack Proto guitar, a Squier bass, and an Alesis SR16 drum machine. We used a Mac desktop computer, GarageBand 3, and a little bit of Audacity and Cubase.

“Plussing and Taking Away” is Get Your Dad Records’s second release, catalog number GYD002.

Shouting and Pointing Update!

Thanksgiving is coming, and where’s the new Shouting and Pointing album? Alas, “Plussing and Taking Away” is not yet ready. Why? Well, the initial sessions with producer Danny Kortchmar at the Record Plant in L.A. had to be completely scrapped. But rest easy, because back here in Bloomington, it’s coming together. Most of the recording is complete, and next month vocalist Michael K. will be traveling to Bloomington to lay down some impassioned vocal stylings.

So, the band is aiming for a January release. And stay tuned for more Shouting and Pointing videos produced, directed, and edited by Scott Myrick. He’s good.

Happy Thanksgiving!
