Alright, the spring update. I’m told it’s getting warmer. It’s been 74 degrees in the studio since last spring so I’m afraid I’m not the best source on the subject.

First up,

Wise Eyes, a shiny new band from Bowie, MD (home of Prodigy Audible, our recording studio, thank you very much) is releasing their debut E.P. It’s available for streaming right now! Have a click on that link 8 words back or do a quick search on www.jango.com. Physical copies are following soon. It’s an insanely energetic, fun record. We recorded the whole thing in about two days at Prodigy Audible back in January. Rocks.

And Then,

I’m currently wrapping up mixes on the new Matta Gawa record. I’m really excited to share this one but I’ve gotta wait.

Finally,

Check out my new venture, www.theaudiorepairshop.com! I’ve been working on guitar amps and electronics for a while and, you know, I’m going to be stepping that up a bit and offering repair and assembly services to more people. Shoot me an email if you’ve got something in need of fixin’!

The new Ben & Eleanor record is up on Bandcamp! Consider this a pre-release. The hard copies are coming soon with all the fancy artwork and packaging that you’d expect. We recorded it at Omega Recording Studios (that’s their Music Man in the picture), Prodigy Audible, and Ben’s living room. Have a listen to a few of my favorites…

 Who’s That Over There?

 Let’s Put the Past Back Together

 Over Before it Began

 Say Yes

While you’re there, check out the first record — Slave to Time. It’s epic.

Hello 2011! It’s gonna be a good year.

Down to business. There are a couple shows in February that you should go see.

Friday, Feb. 4th — The Loveasaurus Records Inaugural Event @ Hamilton Arts Collective, Baltimore, MD

This is gonna be huge. It will be preceded by a bicycle boombox parade that will travel from Penn Station to the show. Expect incredible performances from… MacGregor Burns, Great Tap Root, Her Fantastic Cats, Ike Shark Inc., Jeff Bothe, We Used to Be Abbreviated, Jeff Brunell, Totem, Bow-Legged Gorilla, and Sea Couch… Gasp. This will also be the release of the Loveasaurus Records Compilation that we recorded last year featuring songs from all of the afore-mentioned artists!

Wednesday, Feb. 9th — Wyoming Exploded @ Joe Squared, Baltimore, MD

I’m playing bass for these guys. We’ll show you a good time, promise! Check the Wyoming Exploded Bandcamp page for the first two EPs. We’ll be playing songs from the third release and the first full-length which is going to come out later this year (recording commences next month).

Saturday, Feb. 26th — The Ash Lovelies Record Release @ Artisphere, Arlington, VA

We recorded and mixed this record way back in 2010. It’s gonna be a great show!

And Then This.

I’ve been meaning to get more clips up on this thing. Here’s a little sampling of my 2010. All recorded and mixed by this guy.

The second EP from Wyoming Exploded, entitled “At Our Worst”, has just been released via Bandcamp. We recorded and mixed it at Prodigy Audible and Don C. Tyler at Precision Mastering did his thing. Great guys, ridiculously fun project. They’re cranking the catchy up way beyond acceptable levels here.
