Sean Cahalin

Sean CahalinSean started as an intern at Q in 2009 and is now a staff engineer. He’s most concerned with facilitating the band’s realization of their art, and accentuating the “vibe” of the piece. He wants to find the punk rock in everything, from jazz to hip hop to punk rock and metal; a reflection of our existence and the necessity of expressing ourselves musically.

He also plays drums in I Was Awake, Autumn Above, Froggy & The Friendship, and Mother Ton, and once in a while gets to play bass.

The new release from Paper Citizen is out! Repos The new release from Paper Citizen is out!

@papercitizen’s new single Wandering Gohst, out today 👾 Claire’s songwriting for me is so beautiful, and so unique because it never goes where you think it’s going to go. This record we wanted to keep simple, because that’s all Claire’s songs needed: big drums by @seanbrownbike, thick guitars, @connorfrawley with some of my favorite bass licks, and of course Claire’s shining vocal right on top. Okay and maybe a few synths just for fun 🎹 🎛 I’m so proud of this track and the team: produced by myself, Claire, and @ainjelemme, mixed by @athnony, mastered by @demifuguemastering, recorded at @qdivisionstudios. Link in @papercitizen bio, check it 💣
Hey folks! We’re hosting a benefit livestream fo Hey folks! We’re hosting a benefit livestream for our friends down the street at @parts_and_crafts - a maker space and homeschooling center. Folks from all over are contributing performances, and P&C duo VerVer are hosting...

Part 2/3:
So this is a sneak peak at 3 of 11 or so of the artists who are performing at the livestream. The performances are pre taped, but it’ll be hosted by a dynamic duo known as VerVer - P&C’s finest!
This clip features my own duo FauxMenco, Margaret Garrett and Gregg Porter of Stone and Stars, and Andrew Stern.

The livestream will feature many more dear friends and folks from all over the P&C universe, including Cath and Phil Tyler, John Callaghan, Chris Colbourn of @buffalotomband, @melissaferrick, @bobbradshaw123, Emma and Chris Forkey, @mattandshannonheaton, and Jesse sterling harrison fiction and music! 

Parts and Crafts is the homeschooling center my boy Max was attending until Covid 19 put an end to face to face hanging. It's a really cool organization that has done a great job adapting to online learning - and they want to reopen stronger and better. Their camp and after school programs serve Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, and folks even further out took advantage of their Center for Semi Conducted Learning, which was the program Max was involved in.

Some number of years ago these dudes flew in from Some number of years ago these dudes flew in from Spain, I think, and spent a week or so locked up in (old) studio B with Ed and Matt Beaudoin and made this intense album together- it’s still out there sounding kick ass. We even have copies of it for sale at Q- just hit Ed up and he’ll hook you up.

Ha pasado más de una década del lanzamiento del segundo disco de una banda madrileña a la que echamos mucho en falta. Hablamos de la obra que llevó a The Right Ons a cruzar el charco para ponerse a las órdenes del productor Ed Valauskas, responsable del incontestable "Roll with it" de Eli Paperboy Reed.
.
.
. 
Para la ocasión hemos reunido a todos los integrantes del combo que mezclaba con destreza rock, funk y soul. Cada uno de ellos nos cuenta lo que supuso este disco grabado en Boston en 2009, justo cuando estaban en lo más alto y muchos la consideraban una de las bandas más prometedoras del panorama nacional.

I don’t usually bother people while they’re wo I don’t usually bother people while they’re working on albums, so I really enjoy these glimpses into “the making processes” from folks. Something about the way we all see the same things differently - doubly so for sounds - the same drums in the same room can sound like an infinite number of things..

Ok- so Paper Citizen’s new release kicks ass! Q’s @colindrumskinda is a member of the band, @seanbrownbike played drums and must be an honorary member, and CG is an honorary Q engineer (when she’s in town) - look, she’s even rocking a patch in the video! Totes bad ass. (Catching up with reposting - so stuff is out of time..)

As @challymikes would say, we workin’, but we not at work 🎛 Spent the last 3 days “working” with my favorite crew: Chally on drums, @mitchytime251 on keys, #kylemiles on bass, and @feri_bong in the control room with me. Used all 32 channels of this Neve 8068, just about every ribbon mic in the house (RX77’s on overheads though 🤯), 2 kick drums, 4 snare drums tracking basics on 7 songs. Next up, piano solos 🛸
