Ruby Rose Fox – Die Pretty

December 2, 2014 by Rafi

Looks like director Roger Metcalf might have been channeling Andy Warhol when he made this movie for Ruby Rose Fox’s Die Pretty. Produced by Mr. Will Daily and engineered and mixed by Pat DiCenso, Die Pretty also features Ed Valauskas on bass and Dave Brophy on drums (and probably some other folks I’m forgetting).

The Blue Ribbons – Fooling Around

May 6, 2014 by Staff Engineer

The Blue Ribbons, with some help from Gipsy Pixel video production, perform their song “Fooling Around” for a live studio audience, recorded and mixed by one of our senior engineers, Matt Beaudoin. With bluesy and sizzling prowess, The Blue Ribbons land and detonate with an upbeat original of theirs. Described as “Ray Charles and Tom Waits on a pirate ship with Sun Ra and Captain Beefheart,” they combine “upbeat disillusionment and celebratory fatalism with musicianship.” You can find more of their music here: https://theblueribbons2.bandcamp.com

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 🛸
