...I said I was going to be updating this thing more regularly, and I haven't - but I will now! From this moment on I am a new person! Actually, I did join a gym today, and am aching all over as a result, but that's nothing to do with music, or the studio - so let's hold that thought. Perhaps I'll put some photos up when I'm a muscle-bound warrior, carrying a dead Buffalo over my shoulder and eating an Eagle in a bap.
The ELEPHANTS farewell EP (I Won't Forget You, You Won't Forget Me) is now finished and will be available soon via Alcopop Records! It definitely captures the bands live energy. It's catchy, and downright dirty sounding! It also features a cameo appearance by me, playing piano and other percussive instruments.
In December new Folkestone-based band indie band CHUTES (feauturing ex members of ELEPHANTS and ADANO LIES AWAKE) entered the studio to record their new 3-track EP. It's sounding great in its early mix stages, I'm really happy with the weight in the low-end of the mix, God bless working with a sub.
November saw another amazing new Kent band entering the studio. They are all-female, amazing musicians and called RUBY'S WISHES. One of their songs will be up on my website soon, but if you can't wait for that please check out their bandcamp page at www.rubyswishes.bandcamp.com - they sound like a cross between Smashing Pumpkins, X-Ray Spex and Elastica and are seriously incredible! I have been working very closely with this band on the production side of things, excpect to be hearing much more from them very soon.
The Christmas-themed single from local punk band FUCK THAT! (featuring me on drums) is now available to download for free from www.fuckthat.bandcamp.com - check it out if dirty, energetic, and lyrical controversy is what floats your boat! In fact, here's a video of us at Tinseldayer II, on December 18th:
JAIRUS have been working on the recording of Pink Floyd's classic 'Sheep' during rehearsal time in October and November, I have finally managed to get it mixed thanks to the laptop, and it has now been mastered by Pink Floyd's head engineer Andy Jackson at Tube Mastering. You can download the song for free from www.jairus.bandcamp.com So that just about brings us up to date. I have lots planned for 2011 already and will definitely be updating this page a few times a week, so get subscribing if you're interested in what's going on! I will also be chatting about general recording/mixing techniques etc, so if you're into that side - get subscribing!
Dan.
