The final mastered tracks have been uploaded to the Blue Rocket MySpace page! The best part of four months has passed and finally all the hard work has paid off. Thanks goes out to Phil, Chris, Matt, and John for all their help which has made this possible, and to everyone who has supported us – friends, family and most importantly you, our fans, you are ultimately who we do it for.

For now Luke, Maria, Natti, Jack and Richard will say goodbye, and thanks for following our project. We hope you have enjoyed it as much as we have and that we have perhaps helped aspiring bands out. Maybe one day we’ll be back!

Final tracking stages

loosewireproductions — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 12:00:26 +0000

A mega 12 hour studio session was upon us, and we needed to get as many instruments tracked as possible and ready for the vocals to be laid down a couple of days later. This gave us a tight schedule but one that was achievable, and good fun too! We managed to track drums, bass, acoustic guitar, multiple electric guitar lines, a fantastic sounding Steinway grand piano, and some choice percussion. Many thanks go to John Harris (drums) and Matt Page (bass) for their help with tracking.

Now onto the mix!

“It’s Just A Demo” the track

loosewireproductions — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:34:45 +0000

CHECK OUT the demo of “It’s Just A Demo” on the Blue Rocket myspace page now, leave us your thoughts and feedback.

Have been working on the final tracks for release, one stripped live performance with mostly acoustic guitar and vocals but also featuring some classic shaker moments not to be missed. The other is a studio version that will be far more developed then the demo with full band, comprising drums, bass guitar, electric guitar, keyboard, and anything else we can throw at it! Watch this space…

Photo shoot

loosewireproductions — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:00:27 +0000

Name, music, logo – almost ready to start getting webpages up and running, just need some decent photos of the band now.

Had a great photo shoot with Chris Hudson at sites around Kingston uni, the rain held off and our only obstacle was a guy with a rake!

Results will be posted soon, but here’s a snap from the ‘models’ perspective…

Enter the studio

loosewireproductions — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:00:54 +0000

After ideas had been drafted we entered the professional studios at Coombehurst, Kingston University, to record our demo. Using microphones – AKG C414, Shure SM58, Shure SM57, Neumann KM184, Avalon DI and ProTools we tracked the guitar, vocals and percussion for the demo “It’s Just a demo” which can be heard on our myspace page.
