Bill Janovitz Virtual Happy Hour – Live from Studio A!

February 10, 2021 by Rafi

Oh boy, we’re doing it! We’re letting Bill rearrange Studio A so that he can mix drinks and sing and play songs. Is there a better way to spend some time on Friday, February 26th? We think not.

Catch the entire livestream on our YouTube page, and on Buffalo Tom’s Facebook page.

Viewing the livestream is totally free – but tips are appreciated, and there will be the chance to purchase autographed posters. More info on Facebook!

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.

We’ll be streaming it from our YouTube page.

This is my Christmas/Holiday gift to you—to thank you for continuing to be here, listening—and you will reward me by being present yourselves when I play and sing my album. And we can chat, live, before/after/during the event! The songs still mean a lot to me and I have been so gratified by the way that people responded, and still do, to the music. Cheers!

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 🛸
