Behind The Board – Starting Where We Started

This year is starting in a great way for us. Our first concert this year will be Black Taxi. The third time in a year that we’ll have worked with them. The show will be for NEXT Music (allthingsnext.com) Charity Concert Series which is how we started the music season last year! In style with My Pet Dragon at Paulie’s in Pleasantville, NY. This year will be at the Captain Lawrence Brewery, our most fun venue! We’re expecting this show to sell out just like the last time we worked with Black Taxi at Captain Lawrence Brewery. We’re also expecting this to be just as fun as last time! So if you are going to the show this Thursday get your tickets at Captain Lawrence’s website (linked above).

 

Winter is usually slower for us. Not that the music stops, but there are a lot less weddings, festivals, and corporate events once you get past Christmas and New Years. Some birthday parties get planned. The biggest holiday of winter is Valentine’s day and that usually doesn’t draw crowds to large parties. Weddings do happen but really not a lot. This is where we get to work more on recording music and also catch up on new music we haven’t seen.

This is also the time where we begin scheduling our DJs and bands for the coming seasons weddings and festivals, so please give us a call (203) 200 – 0265 and get on the schedule soon.

 

Last year was a busy year for us. We had some milestone events happen in 2012 as well as some amazing fun! We did a small gallery of pics to give you a view of last years moments. Most pics were taken by Doug at Focus In Digital. Some were taken by camera phones as well. You should be able to tell the difference!  Keep any eye out on our blog for pics and recordings from this Thursday’s Black Taxi gig and also links to recordings from last years great events coming up soon.

Behind the Board – In Front of The Screen

Last night we worked with NEXT Music at PCTV in Pleasantville, NY. This time it was an interesting twist. The band performed inside the TV studio as the audience watched outside on a big screen. Robbers On High Street have a great sound so it was fun to mix this show. The twist for us was we were mixing for three different elements, studio with monitors, TV, and outside. If you weren’t lucky enough to score tickets at this show, the whole thing was streamed online at allthingsnext.com.This was made a little tougher by a special event happening at the theater next door and the battle of not interfering with their presentation. But overall this experiment was a lot of fun. A party on a beautiful night with live music.

Now the outside really was an alley way between PCTV and a theater. The theater was showing a movie from music legend Neil Young. What was most interesting is here is an up and coming band working on their craft and a bunch of people watching and it was more of a nuisance to him! When Neil exited the theater he didn’t even acknowledge the people with a polite wave. Not even a glance. A decent crowd in an alley just mere feet from the door he exited from and it was as if the people who were politely saying hello were non existent.

But, it had nothing to do with the party itself so it had no effect on the good times in a little town in New York. Pictures and audio will be posted soon.

Behind The Board – Preparing For TV?

Working for TV shows is fun. This Friday on the other hand, it’s also going to be work. An interesting twist to the NEXT Charity Concert Series. A kind of “hybrid” show if you will. This one’s going to be live in a TV studio at PCTV in Pleasantville, NY, with a block party outside the studio watching from a large screen and 12,000 watts of BNK Productions power while the whole thing is streamed out over the internet. Some of this is the same work for us. Some of it is a little different. We still have to set up a stage. We still have to set up house sound. And we have to mix a TV show. All in different places. Outside there will be food, and drink from the NEXT Sponsors Captain Lawrence Brewery & Q Restaurant.  The band is Robbers on High Street which is going to be fun. This show is selling out (Obviously) but if there are tickets left you can get them here: https://tickets.tikly.co/-/event/539
