Juliana Hatfield Performs Only Everything on Electric Guitar, Live from Studio A.

February 10, 2021 by Rafi

We’re super excited to host another livestream with Juliana Hatfield, on February 21. This time she’s switching to electric guitar and performing her album Only Everything, in its entirety! What a treat! Hope you can join us. The livestream is free to watch, but donations are appreciated.

Facebook event page is here, and the stream will take place on the Q Division Youtube page. The shows generally stay up for a couple of weeks, and then are removed – so if you miss it on the 21st, you’ll still have a couple of weeks before it’s gone forever.

There’s a note Juliana Hatfield about the show on her website.

Juliana Hatfield Livestream 1/23/21

January 13, 2021 by Rafi

We’re psyched to host Juliana Hatfield for a SECOND livestream from Studio A. Juliana will perform her LP BED in its entirity.

On December 19, 2020, Juliana Hatfield performed her LP Become What You Are in its entirety (twice!), and over 800 viewers joined us. We’re looking forward to this next livestream – which again will feature only Juliana Hatfield and her guitar.

Here’s a note from Hatfield:

Hello, friends. I want to thank all of you who took part in my first livestream last month. I am heartened by your generosity and your kindness and attentiveness. I am going to continue to do this, playing a different album of mine all the way through, once a month. For my second livestream I will perform, at Q Division Studios, my “Bed” album, start to finish, by myself with an acoustic guitar. It will be broadcast via the Q Division YouTube channel. Showtime is Saturday, January 23rd at 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (Massachusetts time).

As before, there will be no tickets and no set ticket price—you can pay what you want, or not (it is entirely up to you), and then just show up to the appointed place/link at showtime. Since none of us—artists nor audiences—can have in-person concerts until who knows when, I am hoping that some of you will be able to contribute something, which will help generate some of that lost touring income. But I understand that a lot of you are struggling financially and I want everyone to be able to see the show so if you can’t pay, that’s okay!

Starting right now, there will be a “donate” button with my PayPal YeOldeRecords account and a link to the Q Division channel. You can pre-pay (pre-donate) now or at any time from now until and during the show on January 23rd. Happy New Year and thank you for continuing to be here, listening.

–Juliana

P.S. We can chat, live, before/after/during the event.

Donation will be accepting via PayPal at this link.

Anything hitting the mix buss will also hit the phase meter - pan left and right and the meter will let you know how close you are. 

Early on we decided we had to re paint and re screen the 32404 and 31103 modules - they were just too chewed up. The 32408’s were fine. This was no small task- but with lots of help from @daykampcreative who redesigned the faceplate graphics for us (we added a .q to the module numbers, just for fun), and with the help of a silk screener and a metal shop in Hudson MA, the color was matched and the legends are now crisp and legible. 

You can also see the phase and eql switch caps which out master tech Andrew Lypps (who’s overseeing the restoration project) etched for us on his 3d printer/cnc machine, one of 3 or 4 pieces that he’s hand crafted as part of the Neve restoration project.
