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

Metal madness hits musoplex......a headline from the Sport? No - cos this is true!!
Skullfox (Myspace here) came in last week and laid down some true honest to goodness metal madness...LIVE!!!!
These are live recordings done at the hands of Andy Ward and Si Reeves and are awaiting mastering....but in the meantime here is a sneaky peek at a pre-mastered tune...
Cover your ears and run to the hills....heeeerrrreeessssss Skullfox.....
Musoplex are proud to announce that The Cubans have signed to Raven: (the Musoplex label) and will be recording new material in April 2008 with the legendary Si Reeves.
This up and coming band from Wolverhampton have had 3 releases already (soon to be available on the web via the Raven / Musoplex shop after mastering) and have already had massive exposure (providing Hancock's Half Time with their credits) and playing such high profile gigs as the Cavern Club in Liverpool.
For all things Cubans contact them via their website (www.thecubans.co.uk) or Myspace (www.myspace.com/loscubanos). For all things musical (recording / videos / rehearsals / photography)....you know where to come....

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.

Musoplex are filming, photographing and audio recording 5 acts at Stourbridge's Rock Cafe on Sun 30th March.
The night is run by Matt and Co. at Nuventure - one of the Midland's fastest growing promotion companies - and is the start of what we hope are many more collaborations.
The live, multitracked, audio and 4-camera video footage will be mixed and mastered back at Musoplex and is already set for airplay on the 'Bridge radio station.
Band details will be confirmed and posted next week....keep em peeled....

We kinda knew that anyway but a warm welcome to the world to Ellen.
Simon (Producer) and Maria (top bird) went through a shattering 20 hours of induced labour before an emergency C-section finally did the trick. Mum, baby and Dad are all recovering. Ellen weighed in at a fully-cooked 7lb 11oz and we can't wait to see her.
