A huge hello to all those who read our vox blog as well as this feed embedded in our website and myspace and facebook etc :o)).
It has been a while, has it not...? Not through laziness and not through a lack of love for my blog - just been stupidly bust chasing my tail all day every day for over a month......let me explain......
Every year, Si, my business partner, goes to Italy on hols for anything between 3 and 5 weeks - this year was about 4 and he also got married while he was out there to the lovely Maria - so sincere congratulations to Mr and Mrs Reeves. however, this left me with me.....and some supposed help - which would only materialise, and only sometimes at that, for money - which is only to be expected - after all we need to make our way and pay our bills. But....I have been up to my proverbials in it.
So, Si is back, this is what has been happening....
Rehearsal room 4 is sooo nearly completely finished....but was so in demand it is already being used as Police B*****d prepare to go on tour.
We have recorded and mixed and mastered (for free!!) 4 more bands in the last 4 weeks for radio broadcast and have several more interviews lined up.
Mike - our graduate producer, continues to cut his teeth on several new projects and we feel he is going to be a real asset in times ahead.
We have been working on TV audio for Race TV - many thanks to Nick
We have been working on corporate audio and are soon to start filming modular teaching videos.
We have just finished recording new material for Skull Fox, the Yipes, A Shot in the Dark, Zanzibar, Police Ba****d, Beechwood and many many more...bless you all for using us!! From acoustic bliss to some of the most vitreolic metal I have ever heard - excellent :o))).
We are about to start mastering an album for a recently found local producer called Elliot - watch this space - really excellent work.
A big hi to Strikes - our first Grime artist - see you again soon - really top tunes.
I have been on WCR fm for an interview with the Unsigned Show hosted by Katy Jay and may have a 2 hour special of my own coming up in the future. Loads of love goes out to Katy and Steve Morris (Station Manager) for the continued mutual support.
2009 will see a few changes coming up at our creative playground - watch this space cos these will get more frequent and some small and big changes are afoot.

We ha the absolute pleasure of recording anti-folk hero Seth Faergolzia of Dufus (NY, NY, USA) at the Junction in Bristol last month.
Here is Tutu - the only video we can post as he says it as he means it but if you are fans you can catch all of the others on youtube...if you are over 18 and don't mind the cursing...
Cheers: Seth rules......excellent!

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
This weekend we were lucky enough to be hired to film and audio record Seth Faergolzia of Dufus on part of a rare solo European tour at the Junction in Bristol - Bristol's home of punk and anti-folk.
The audio is peachy, the video footage uploaded. All we need is a few camera shots from the gig itself for the CD / DVD sleeve. We know there were cameras there so is there any chance of mailing a few to musoplex@gmail.com??? PLEASSSEEEE X
A big thanks to Vicki for the organisation and all at the Junction for helping make it a great all-dayer. With Seth's permission we will add some footage this weekend. A true genius and an incredibly voiced, stunning songwritrer.
Pete is also busy filming a video for Telegramme - one of the Midlands finest, and poorest bands and thanks to Matt at Nuventure UK for the gig at the Stourbridge rock Cafe on Friday - all the audio is now in Logic and should be mixed by this weekend.
That is all.
Andy
