Interesting times at the studio - that's why we opened it...
We are just about entering our second year after the build of the new place and it seems life forever ago and just last week all at once. Spend too long thinking about it and my head turns to fog....
The Skullfox artwork is done and awaiting band approval - all songs will also be remastered prior to pressing - although they are still sounding hot after 2 months and a revisit - which is always pleasing :o)
Pete is just finishing his videos for Telegramme before moving onto some more artwork design for The Dreaming Tree.
We have our promoters in place to help us kill off the whole robbing BOTB concept from Autumn 2008 - keep watching.
Andy's recording of Evangeline's Easy Now went top 5 (from over 25, 000 acoustic songs) in some online acoustic charts whose name evades me at the mo but I'll look it up later - still....very nice for all concerned! :o)
Monday and Tue this week sees 60% of the legendary Nightingales in to pre-prep record new material before flying off to take it to the other band members - how cool a lifestyle does that sound?
Hidden in here is a huge congrats to Alex too....well done buddy.....I believe the contacts are signed today?
So now I am off on a week's holiday and you are all up to date. If anybody needs anything - call or e-mail the other 2 - but don't expect anything before midday - these guys are serious artists and should be treated as such!!!!! :o)
See you all soon.
Andy

These are live recordings from Stourbridge Rock Cafe 2000 in June 2008 but the artists are actually acoustic and very cool. One Sixth of Tommy are 3 superb female singer / songwriters / musicians
from Stourbridge and are off this summer to record with Tears for Fears and Elton John producer in BAth and Alex Lanyon of Bearwood is a prodigious talent set to be a superstar so check em out.
Cheers - Andy
]]>A massive thanks to everyone that came and everyone that performed and made the night at the MAC Hexagon Theatre such an astounding success...
Most of the thanks go to..
The Matthew Bennett Band
One Sixth of Tommy
The Cubans and
Alex Lanyon and his tip top band
It was a packed night and not a dry eye in the house by the time we had finished with them....
Also special thanks to Michael Calder for the last minute call-up live production.....soon to be the new studio producer at Musoplex and to Matt at Nuventure UK promoters - with whom this was another joint venture....
Here are some pics....
One Sixth of Tommy, the Matthew Bennett Band, Alex Lanyon and The Cubans have sold out the hexagon theatre at the Mac, Birmingham. The gig, on Sat 29th March, is designed to be stripped down band acoustic and feature / showcase some of the best up and coming (as well as arrived!!) talent in the Midlands.
Cross promoted by Musoplex and Nuventure Ents we can't be happier to have sold out (on behalf of ourselves and the artists) or sadder that they are closing our beloved MAC for a year to implement a massive expansion plan.
Andy @ Musoplex
]]>Good lord what a month....
First of all - a big welcome back to Si the Head Producer who has just retured after a 3 week european tour...missed you buddy.
We got to thank Bham City Council for the support XXXXXX Especially Barbara and Chris.....thank you soooo much.....we will justify the belief.....XXX
We booked a joint promotion with Nuventure on 29th March at the Brum-famous MAC.....a night featuring One Sixth of Tommy, Alex Lanyon and more.....wonderfully next-generation singer-songwriter craftsmen and women.....
We are recording live audio and video for Nuventure on 30th of March for 5 bands...a challenge and a half but one we are looking forward to. Including....the Hoop Group and the Singles Club.....very cool both....
Paul Broadrick brought us in a sensational photo shoot that should be ready for issue in the next week or so :o). Thanks Paul - see you soon and Jen - thank you XXXXXXXXX - see you again soon.
Our label ambitions may have changed as we are strongly considering taking a joint venture with a FABULOUS band - more in a week and watch the webite change.
A cool spot - only this afternoon - came in the shape of some live recording for Skullfox, who said our live recording was better than their other studio stuff. True - but always nice to hear.
And a big welcome to new rehearsers..not a real word!....The Empires (excellent!), the Lightning (also very good) and welcome back Retroflare (great name) and a big and heartfelt thanks to everyone who already uses us cos you have made us very, very happy bunnies these last 7 months.
See you all in a few weeks with what we believe is some very exciting news.
Andy
