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!

Blue Ribbons – Gas Station Girl (Video)
Here’s another video from the Blue Ribbons session in Studio A.
The Blue Ribbons
The Blue Ribbons, a band familiar to anyone who’s set foot in Toad in Porter Square on a recent Tuesday night, recorded AND shot a completely live album in Studio A, in October of 2013.
They spent an afternoon setting up the band: Mike Castellana plays guitar, Jeff Charland and Tauras Biskis on bass and massive drums respectively, and bandleader James Rohr on our baby grand and synths. The Blue Ribbons sound a little like the Band at moments during their set at Q. They can extend a song, or keep it simple and quick. They’re all great players who are busy in multiple bands around town.
On the Q Division end of things we had Matt Beaudoin engineering the recording, and Joe Tooley working sound in the room.
The folks from Gypsy Pixel brought multiple cameras and shot both sets. They have released four videos, and a full length LP (which Matt mixed and mastered).
Here’s one called Foolin’ Around:
Mellow Bravo – Don’t You Get Lonely (BC)
Mellow Bravo were in Studio A as part of the Converse Rubber Tracks Series. They recorded and mixed this killer track, with Matt Beaudoin at the controls. It was a blast having these guys in the building – they loved everything they saw, heard, and touched! Matt said he’d recorded no louder band. Ever.
The Blue Ribbons – Magdalena
Here’s a take of The Blue Ribbons performing Magdalena for a live audience in Studio A, no gimmicks necessary thanks to a beautiful real time video production by Gipsy Pixel. With one fluid performance, the Blue Ribbons rip on through with a rare and composed energy, recorded and mixed by one of our senior engineers, Matt Beaudoin.
