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.

The Musoplex label, Raven:, has released its first material...a newly recorded AA single and remastered album from producer Si Reeves. Si has also remastered their first album and five tracks from their first singles into the Hoping Against Hope CD.
Musoplex is a full production house providing the producer, recording studio, rehearsal rooms, videos, label, artwork and sleeve design as well as label support through their management.
The songs, band and Musoplex have already featured on Central TV, Radio WM and are in the Birmingham Post tomorrow.
Meanwhile - here are streams of the two single tracks....available to download from indiestore and as hard copy from EBay and www.myspace.com/musoplex as well as Cubans T-s (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Raven-at-Musoplex).

Evangeline - a reformed mix of Ian Babinton and Pete Raj from Leicester were in for a live acoustic set recording a few weeks ago and look set to release 'Easy Now' and others on an EP in June.
The session was recorded by Andy Ward, engineered by Si Reeves and Andy, mixed and mastered by Andy in a 4 hour studio session followed by 6 hours of studio time engineering the 7 tracks recorded in the session.
Personally, we were well happy with the session, they were excellent musicians and songwriters and thoroughly enjoyable company to wile away a Sunday afternoon with.
So - here is a preview - Easy Now is a beauty of a song and still an in-car CD favorite.

Pete - our martyr to the cause - has spent 3 months growing a beard for 2 minutes of footage in a video for Summer's Day by Last Under The sun (available on Iron Man Records).
Now his work is almost done and next weekend comes the comedy film 'Get That Butt-Ugly Beard Off - It Reeks Of The Docks' and heralds the welcome return of 'Handsome Pete' (as he is known down the docks!). Just kidding ladies - he is cute under that beard and nobody has wanted him since 2 weeks into the growth...now's your time to bag a handsome, intelligent, shaven and house-trained artist :o)). Send all requests marked 'I Want Peej' to musoplex@gmail.com and I will act as his lady distribution centre for the forseeable future.
But I digress....this is a great combination of visuals and a storyline taken from a short film idea woven into a piece for Mark Badger at Iron Man Records. A sincere thanks to all those that came out to help.
Cheers
Andy

Peej has just finished a new video - you can see it on his myspace (www.myspace.com/abstractreaction) before it gets linked to the Musoplex site.
He is already getting a lovely response but please feel free to add any comments about why you do / don't like it as he really does take all this stuff on board.
Other news:
We have nearly finished building Pete's new office / video suite :o))) I can get my office back then!! :o)
We have all the artists for our 1st CD release in Feb 2008 - thanks for the very positive and swift uptake..:o). All I need do now is nail the sponsor!! Look out - I know exactly where you live...
We have 2 recording artists in this weekend (sorry Si - poor booking schedule) - but look out for The Singles Club and 1st single from The Vouch.
