A big Hey to all our reader ;o)))
First the bad news - The E-Go's. After a frank and honest chat between the Raven: label and the band we have mutually decided not to progress with the signing. The E-Go's are a truly fab band and their recordings were progressing really well too. However, we are probably not big enough to handle their needs as they progress so all we can do is say thanks and offer them all our love and best wishes for what should be a glorious future. Cheers - Andy and Si.
On the good news front
We had an excellent weekend of recording with a new band to us called We All Need Heroes. In that short time they have managed to leave with 4 exceptional demo tracks. I just await permission before I upload any but cheers guys - Si said you were a pleasure to work with.
Discotheque Wreck were also in for final mixing and mastering of 2 tracks they have been working on for the last 500 years ;o). Actually just over a few days but they are a very complex and multilayered dance / indie band. Again - gimme a few days and you can hear em once approved.
We had the pleasure of no less than 2009's Brummie of the Year / Kerrang! DJ and music legend Johnny Doom in yesterday recording vocals for...well, I can't tell you what for...... However, if this ever gets back to Mr. Doom....Erosion is a staring agog at the sun with eyes wide open, brain sandblasting masterpiece. Now I get it!
We also finished, completely, never come back ;o), Zanzibar's album......Zanzibar......actual......proper.......songwriting.
And Carol......how can we forget Carol......? What the hell is your surname?? Carol has been writing for a new theatre production and popping in and out for a few weeks effortlessly putting down her tunes, lead and backing vocals to songs as she finishes them (5 or 6 now??). To have such a consumate professional breezing through the place is lovely.
And the ever incredible Lokey - now up to 14 tunes, picking up more interest and momentum every day. It is a project of Si (our head producer) and The Ox (poet / performance artist / great big bushy beard) and they have now been joined on several tracks by Si and Seano (Drums and Guitar - PB and LUTS). Seriously - this album is gonna fry brains.....every song gets better and better.
So - no time to chat.....I am also sorting out my car insurance and doctors appointments after getting rammed up the rear on Tuesday. Couldda been worse but ouch - that hurts!!!
Smell y'all soon.
Andy, Si, Pete and Katie - Musoplex
Two new metal recordings....
Skull Fox - Studio favorites with a new hybrid live recording of a new EP - this track (For the Sake of Retribution) will be on their new EP. Launch TBD but just how much have these guys grown in a year??? Excellent.
New to the studio were the very impressive Shot in the Dark - If All Else Fails was one of 3 songs done in just a day.....awesome drums.....
More recordings to post soon :o).
Andy
We are releasing a live recording as an EP on the Musoplex Raven: Metal label in mid-August (the artwork and CDs are about ready and will go to press soon).
Skullfox are moulded in the traditions of metal forged in the Back Country since the invention of Black Sabbath and take some influences from more mainstram American bands (Metallica in particular). They are young, noisy and often a little rude but these thacks as far as they go I believe contain no swearing - let me know if you catch any and I will wipe it but be warned - these songs feature occasional but heartfelt expletives!!
A young band with a grounding in excellent riffing and songwriting with a good ear for sound and arrangement - what more can we ask for??
