Been a WHILE but here's a brand new Live At The Bookhouse session with theatrical rock heroes The Vone! A wiiiide range of influences channelled into a 4-piece rock band fronted by songwriter Marcelo Cervone, they brought the riffs and a litttttle bit of shred too... enjoy this 16 minute whopper for your boring Wednesday!

Happy new year, everyone. Figured we'd start strong with a huge 24 minute Live At The Bookhouse with Rope. They recorded one take, the whole way through, and we called it done. Slow and dirgy rock like ya like it.

ĠENN are smashing it. They're working super hard following the release of their debut record 'Unum' and we were real excited they had the time to come do a live session for us. Three songs, a beautiful ray of light on this gloomy Tuesday morning.

Delaire the Liar's EP 'SELF DEFENCE' has been out for a month. We figured the best way to spotlight it would be have the band play the whole thing Live At The Bookhouse... it came out great.

Shoutout Tom Hill - Producer/Engineer for the recording/mix and Treasure Digital for video.

We’re tweaking the Live At The Bookhouse format!

Our preference is always working on longer projects & larger bodies of work. Yeah, some people are moving to just releasing singles, but we’re album people. Similarly, our favourite live sessions are longer format (Tiny Desk, Audiotree, KEXP…) and we want what we produce to align with that preference.

From now on our live sessions will be presented as one longer video featuring 3-4 songs. We’ve also changed the font 😅

We’re gonna keep working within our local music community to help spotlight bands that we love. We don’t have PR budget but nor do we make any money from doing these sessions. We ask that the bands source paying the videographer where possible but we do all the recording and mixing for free. Punk AF mate.

We get far more requests to do these sessions than we can accommodate but if your band would like to do one, probably best is to contact Tom ( tomhillproducer at outlook dot com ) or Ian ( hansenrecording at gmail dot com ) directly with some info about your band.

The first session in the new format is with who are both lovely and excellent and it’s out Monday at 9am.
