Xmas Gig, Free Song on Bandcamp & Laugh in the Studio

SO....we've got a Christmas party coming on the 21st... You're all invited. Jo will be headlining (obviously!) but is joined by the lovely guys from 'The First Seven" and 'This Beautiful Thief"
It's the Wednesday before Xmas so we'll all be in the holiday spirit.... or sick already and need of a drink:-)

Jo is also finally on Bandcamp and streaming though Facebook, with her single 'Spiders' a free download so please head over hit like and grab a copy of the tune. If you'd rather have another track just pop to her website join the mailing list and drop us a line. Not only will we send you any tune you like but also a taster of the new album.....owwww, I know it's tempting :-)

Finally we thought we'd put together a little montage of the work that goes on down at the studio. You'll have to excuse the poor camera work.. give us time though, we'll have a motion picture before you know it!

Lots of xmas cheer, The Boys & Girls from LoveRock! Records

New Press Pic of Lady Jo & a mess of cable

Been a mixed week or so, we've had a fair bit of work on beginging Jo's album which is already at track 3! It's due for an early 2012 release so there may be some sneak previews soon.

The pic below is from her new press release, big thanks to Hannah Fewtrell-Bolton for the lovely Jewellery.


Studio 2 is still coming along... I have to say that this is the first studio I have fully wired and my respect levels for Jon keep increasing as when studio 1 was wired I did "sod all" and there was a lot more wiring. Anyway 2 weeks in 3 pics!

Jon's fair lady Liz making a guest apperance with the Loverock :-)

Bit a plater board and some MDF and then...

Just add equipment....and plug it in

Which is what I've been up to while the dudes rock the recording..... Hopefully all finished when we test it up tomoz.

Anyway the best way to test is to see what Lucus thinks... I told him about all the cables, if I should normal or half normal the patch bay or if we need four of five returns to live room 2. He said he's get back to me!

I want to grow up in a studio....

Videos

Over the past few weeks we've been turning our hands to the video camera and created a few videos for Joanna Briggs. We spent two days on location shooting a video for "Spiders" and there was a lot of fun had in the process. Check out the video on You Tube and let us know what you think.

We also one sunny afternoon in the studio filmed Joanna and her guitarist Tom Longworth playing some of her tracks Acoustic as well as their own rendition of "Changed The Way You Kiss Me" by Example. Check them out for a different sound to Joanna's music. There will be more to going up soon.

If your fortunate enough to have a fast internet connection don't forget to check out the videos in HD by clicking on the "360p" button and changing it to "720HD".

Joanna's Mixes

The time has arrived and after some long days in the studio we have finished mixing all 6 of Joanna's songs! Tomorrow morning we are jumping in Toms car and heading to Revolution Mastering in London to get the tracks mastered and i can't wait to hear the results and get them out for everyone to hear.

Of course though we had to make sure that our Musical Director and all round Creative Manager was happy with the mixes. He had his concerns on his first listen but after making a few tweaks himself...

... and after having another sip of his milk he was finally happy with what he was hearing.

Watch this space for Joanna's new tracks appearing on here soon,

Keep on Rocking!

Jon
