Hey everybody, please feast your ears on "Love Empire". Originally written by LA rockers Big Collapse, myself and 4 other workshop students produced, recorded and mixed this track in 4 days with the help of drummer Sam Hardwig, vocalist Tracey Rappa and guitarist Mike Ofca. Our good buddy and mastering guru Dan Coutant put the finishing touches on it and we proudly present it to you now. Interested in attending a future Recording Workshop? Please contact me here!

I still have spots open for a couple of last minute students. The recording workshop is both incredibly informatove and a ton of fun. Come join us as we learn about music production as we record, produce and mix a real song in a real studio with real drums, real amps, real musicians! It's kind of like recording studio boot camp for awesome people. Yes that's right, enrolling in the workshop makes you instantly MORE AWESOME!

So in the spirit of a lousy ecomomy & my normally slow fall / winter schedule, I've decided to lower my rates for a while. Strike while the iron is hot because I don't plan on keep my rates this low forever. Also, there are still a few spots open for the next recording workshop so get in touch with me if you are interested & I'll email you a brochure!
]]>Hey gang! So I got back from The Stereo Reunion @ FBR15 in NYC relatively unscathed (see video above) & was able to put the finishing touches on the new Gene The Werewolf record which I cannot wait for you to hear. Also I finished work on a single I produced for local band Threes & Sevens. We're getting closer to doing another Recording Workshop so if you've got 4 days & want to learn a TON about recording & mixing, please contact me!
]]>The mighty Gomi have released a brand new digital EP packed with jams! The boys have been getting a little love from local radio too. Go see them this Saturday, September 3rd at Long Wong's Tempe to see what all the fuss is about!
Also, if you haven't heard The Stereo is now playing on September 7th with Paramore, Fun, The Swellers & This Providence for FBR15. Sorry for the shake up folks, it's very much out of our control. Hope to see you there!
Also, has anyone heard that band The Bringer of Pain To Your Face? I love that name but boy do they blow chunks musically!

A few months ago I mixed a really cool EP for Chicago's own Late In The Playoffs. They've now released a song called "Everything I Know" on their bandcamp page & I highly encourage everybody to go give it a spin!
Also, all three ticket packages for FBR15 are finally on sale! If you haven't heard already (& actually care) my old band The Stereo is reuniting for this special three day event in NYC. Hopefully we will see many of you guys there!
