The E-Go's are the UK's finest unsigned band - and you can now let them know how much you love them using this map. add yourself to the E-Go Army - new material to be released late 09 / early 2010 - depends on when we can ge tthem in to the studio :o))
If I can upload it her eis a gif of the studio control room....I intend to add it to my e-mail signature so need to host it somewhere where I can get embed code...and Vox wins every time on this thing :o)))
The pictures were taken by Affinitie photographer Katy while she was around the studio during a recording session so a huge thanks to her for these. I will be posting some of Katy's model and band work soon so keep en peeled - I may even make another gif :o))

Hmmm....looks like a still as I am doing this post.....this is Head Producer...Si Reeves - so now you know....:O)
framework Studios at Musoplex have taken on a new freelance producer in the form of Lee Phillips (www.cornerstudios.co.uk) and he starts his full-on time solo work at the end of the month.
Meaning......when Lee has our weekends we can do some cheaper daytime rates as it frees up the legendary Si Reeves (worked on Napalm Death, Bjork/Carcass / PJ Harvey at Framework).
From £150 a day (Mon - Thurs) he represents incredible value for money. You can always still book Framework and Si Fri - Sun starting at £250 a day for longer runs.
More to follow as we have also created our own promotional gig arm with Matt from Nuventure...
I am never sure if these things are going to work....I am a Luddite.....so let's go!!! If it does - join us on Twitter XX
We have succumbed to the first mass frenzy of the 21st century and joined twitter (http://twitter.com/musoplex). Follow us as we post really banal stuff interspersed with more interesting and relevant stuff about our studio, photography, live recording, video making, gig promotion, record label and more.
Go on....follow us....and join up.

The Cubans have recorded a new AA single which will be released on iTunes and hard copy to coincide with their headline gig at the Wulfrun on 7th March.
The following week sees their rescheduled BBC Radio Introducing.... slot - so listen up...
The songs were recorded at Framework Studios (at Musoplex) by Si Reeves
All of the Cubans' back catalogue can now be found on iTunes.
Here is a taste of what is coming your way soon....
Here's what you missed...
A packed Little Civic on a cold Sunday in January (thanks to all the bands and Matt at Nuventure) and a party atmosphere topped by the fabulous Eureka Machines....ACE!!
I officially love Elle Diablo, Sarcastic Comment were excellent and played a blinder and Discotheque Wreck partied hard - but still none came close to the bouncing, vibrant, technically wonderful, crafted Eureka Machines.
For some reason something we don't do frequently enough is to thank those people that use us to record that we don't really see as 'core' to what we do but I guess it couldn't be wider of the mark as it probably accounts for a good 10 - 20% of our recording time.
These include covers bands, backing singers, tribute acts etc so just a quick thanks for coming in and genuinely entertaining us and keeping us aware that music is for all and more beautifully diverse than our sometimes narrow minded musical tastes and views would allow us to think....:o)
So cheers to Molly's Craic (pub and club), Pennyshort (bonkers folk folk), Julie Small (seriously excellent classical / folk music and voice), Cloned Stones (go on...guess) and a big congrats to 4More - officially best Mids live entertainment act 2008-9.

2008 is finally over and as I start to settle into 2009 I thought I would spend a while reflecting on last year and moving on into the new year....
So - first and absolutely foremost - a HUGE thanks to everyone we have worked with or met in the last year. Way too numerous to name them all and rude to single out a few so just a big cheers to you all - it remains a pleasure.
In what was our first full year since the studio relocation we have seen rehearsing bands that we have heard from day 1 as a shamling wall of dischordant noise that now sound like working and coherent units with some budding, developing and downright excellent songwriters and players.
Pete has made some great and diverse videos - from a live tour of Germany with anti-fascist punk band Police Bast*rd to bang up to date current work of DVD filming, editing and authoring for Barry Steele - the UKs Number One Roy Orbison Tribute (is that okay Barry?? :o)).
We registered our label (unless you are deadly serious don't go there!!), released our 1st label material for The Cubans and Skull Fox and in 2009 will look for more as we get better at it.
2009 will also see Replicant (the live recording arm of the business) move into more frequent gig promotion - in Jan-Mar we will be looking for venues and acts. We will also be introducing a rewards system for bands - getting free photo shoots, days in the studio etc.
We also start a regular last Wed of every month local radio slot at the end of this month - fielding ourselves, our own guests, our own recordings etc..
And - speaking of our own recordings - Si and Mike are both pretty solid and all weekends are now booked until March - and even they are under negotiation and likely to go pretty soon - but this does leave weekdays etc easily enough - sometimes.
So - a great year - for which we are hugely grateful - and a very promising 2009 beckons.
