A day in the studio...

Danny-B

My band recorded at a studio over the weekend. Such an awesome studio! Really top quality gear. And amazingly cheap too...

I was told by the engineer that it's the biggest live room in SA excluding the SABC studios. Pics follow...

Yes, that is a Gretsch...

It's a studio that an enthusiast has built on his property. It was only completed midway through last year, and it is run by his son who also acts as the engineer. They're keeping it low key though...

It really is top quality. We made a music video at the same time so I'll pull some stills of the control booth.

Very nice looking studios - I look forward to your vid Danny. BTW those slippers are a lot fancier than mine - I'm stuck with stokies.

Looks like loads of fun! ? Would love to hear the track/tracks.

oh, and stokies are the shizness, Pete! ?

I think I know of that studio.... I love the pics on the wall..

BTW Danny, too many cables across the floor will kill you. Gotta watch that.

Danny-B

I will post the tracks as soon as I get the mastered copies. One of them will be on the Splashy Fen CD ?

This is a nice looking studio! Building a studio like that is exactly what I would do if I suddenly became very rich... ?...and I would also get a pair of slippers like that! Looking forward to hearing the CD.

BTW: A friend of mine calls stokies "gout skoentjies"... ?

Here's the very rough video. Enjoy!

Very cool, Danny. I like 1) the Strat tone (which, for some reason, reminds me quite strongly of Fucking in the Bushes, by Oasis), 2) that you've made stock market terminology cool - and you've gone with the theme in your band photo shoots and logo, 3) that men aren't afraid to wear inverted sheep any more, 4) and that you guys have put thought into your songwriting. Nicely done, pal.
