Posted on by

Y’all, it’s been a long cold winter, but Bang-a-Song keeps banging! Check it out:

In The Studio
U-Ey at the Buoy has been recording horns from Will Hunt and Anthony Prestigiovanni. Harry and the Potters has been mastering. Corey Wrinn has been mixing it up. Barnabas has been doing all three (recording, mixing, mastering)! The Auto-Wah Senators have been delivering nothing but net in the studio, the same in Studio C. (Studio C has also caught glimpses of Groove, Neon 90’s, Jason St. Clair and Mikey Holland. VIP!) Rabbi Steven Lewis as been transferring tapes from the past. Adrien Benjamin has been laying it down. Surnames have been shelling out the jams. Wangari Fahari has been tightening up the mixes. The LeBarons gave our analog tape rig a work out. Joe Wilkins strummed the sonic sounds. Willie Alexander is the poet and everybody knows it! Mari Martin had a writing session. Moving Targets kicked out an EP and kept us stutter stepping the whole rocking time. Rick Harte’s been taking careful care mixing it. Jay Grimaldi came back to us, and it felt like no time had passed. James White has been plotting how to respond to an Octopus Invasion. Dawn Carroll has been collaborating with Jon Butcher on mentorship and music. Jim Coyle came in with a quartert and a video of Summer Wages filmed at the studio, and made everyone look and sound good. A murderer’s row of players has joined together to make a record, and that row is not limited to Jon Butcher, Dave Mattacks, Wolf Ginandes, Sal Baglio, Allen Estes, Richard Gates on bass, Sonny Barbato on keys, and Sandy MacDonald on organ. Whew!

New Releases:

JATK has a vinyl release of Shut Up and Be The Light!

Mexican Ape Lord delivered a 4 Song EP called “Horrible Folk Tale.

Telamor has never had an unproductive month and kept it positive with Shine Your Love, Eight Miles High, Rock All Night, Take Me Higher, and Lucky.

Miracle Legion had Bang-A-Song mix and master a recording of a live ML show recorded in San Fran in 2017, and it was a privilege.

Derek Richards started to get it all down on tape. Tony rocked for Google. Safety came back to life. Henley Douglas ovedubbed on the island for the island. Jim Coyle became and “old friend”.

New Releases:
    

The LeBarons released a single to Spotify which tells the world what we already knew about their music: I’M GOOD (b/w LSM). Beach Boys harmonies all ovah!

What Time is It Mr. Fox? recorded a disco/funk/dark wave track called “He Was A Cloud” for the upcoming soundtrack to their musical play “Medusa“. All Bang-A-Song hands on deck here with Tony on guitars, Warren at the board for the engineer/mix/master, and our fave foxes on everything else!

Hemway let this Anna Rae penned track “Bargain” cook for a while, but it was worth the wait for the official release and official music video that accompanies it (created and performed by Catherine Siller). Propulsive af.

     

Warren (@wrensound) Babson mixed the latest new release from Sky Heavens which is available for pre-order now here. Check out her BBC Radio1 performance with Eminem while you’re pre-ordering.

Telamor must be feeling the romance this summer, as the last three releases are entitled “Let’s Get Married” “How To Love“, and “Great Balls of Fire“. (And who knows what it means, but the one before that was “Rattle My Cage“.) Check ’em all out!

John Jerome has pre-released a video for “All Of Us At Once” from his upcoming full-length album here. What a tease!

Uey At The Buoy cranked out three summer singles (one each month) for your listening pleasure: Seeing Double, Don’t Waste a Single Minute, and Only Heaven Knows.    ZZ Top guitars?  Check!
