Moving Targets | Bang A Song

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.

Bang-A-Song has been closed to clients for the past ten weeks or so (like the rest of the state), but we are re-opening our doors for small, safe, socially distant sessions. Despite the downtime, and because it’s been more than six months since the last ‘In The Studio’, there’s quite a lot to share. Congratulations to everyone who released new music over the past few months…we need music right now! On the flip side…musicians need your support right now! If you are able: buy music, live stream shows, grab some merch. It’s good for everyone. Here’s where to start:

New Releases 2020

Jon Butcher shared a new version and a new video for his class Axis track ‘Wishes‘ recorded at Bang-A-Song.
Telamor released a new rocker called ‘Kick It Out‘ which you can stream and buy on BandCamp.
Surnames were slammingly productive. They released a new EP entitled ‘These Days‘ which you can stream and buy on BandCamp, and WERS, Divide and Conquer and The Deli all noticed.
The Dazies released a timely tune called ‘It’s a Beautiful Life‘ which you can stream and buy on BandCamp. Vanyaland knows it’s beautiful, and Jonathan Perry knows it, too.
What Time Is It Mr. Fox released a new single called ‘Devil vs. Scarecrow‘ on Spotify and all music services, and also, fortunately for us, last night went deep into song, process and planetariums (!) with ‘Medusa: Behind The Scenes‘.
U-EY at the BUOY released the ‘U-EY at the BUOY EP‘ that you can stream or buy on BandCamp. Any EP with an opening track called ‘Hot Rod Lincoln‘ is just right.
Suriel is featured alongside Lotus Taylor on the new B Leafs single called ‘Lifetime‘ which is available on SoundCloud.
The Moving Targets most recent album ‘Wires‘ is being released by Dead Broke Records on yellow vinyl! If you’re speedy, you can grab a copy here.
John Sullivan released a new EP entitled ‘Soul Speaks‘ and you can stream and buy it on BandCamp.
Allen Estes released his new full-length ‘Carnival‘ which you can pick up on CD on his web page, or which you can find on all music services.
Tony Goddess himself is featured on the new WYS release ‘How Not To Die On A Desert Island‘ on the track ‘Wooden Raft’. Dreamy listening.
Coming any day…be on the lookout for a new single from Eric Salt that he’s been mixing up the last couple weeks. Vanyaland was hot for the previous single, and we know you will wanna know about the next one!
