They’ve been making a record at Q with Ed and DZ. It’s gonna be out in a second. Can you wait? No? Well, here’s a tease.
Beware the Dangers of a Ghost Scorpion! – Caught Dead EP (RT)
Beware the Danger of a Ghost Scorpion! are a Boston based Surf-Prog band that was in Studio A tracking an EP as part of their Converse Rubber Tracks session. Reverb, reverb, tape delay, echo, and maybe a little spring reverb are abundant on this EP.
The Blue Ribbons – Fooling Around
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
The Bynars – Time vs. Money (BC)
The Bynars have been to Q Division a few times. This time they were here on a Converse Rubber Tracks session, where they used their day with Matt Beaudoin to work on the song Time Vs. Money.
Word has it they cut guitars, AND ran some of their drum machines through amps and into Studio A’s live room. The synths on this track are killer!

Here’s another video from the Blue Ribbons session in Studio A.
