KING DOVES

BLACK & BLUE STUDIOS

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Yesterday hit up the brand new Black & Blue Studios for a meeting of the minds with my Don’t Cry Recs family, Nick Hook and Tiombe Lockhart of Cubic Zirconia, the gawd-ess Jess Jubilee and the OG DPalumbo. Had a listening session of new Gas Galaxy tracks and the upcoming debut Cubic Zirconia LP. Margaritas and thangs ensued. As you can see the view is spectacular.

Nick Hook deep in the space pit. Trading plugins, beats banging, and picking prospects for new material….we went in.

This place is crawling with analog synths and drum machines i.e. heaven. This is home to a chosen few and the undeniable source of a lot of incredible music you will be hearing in the future for sure. very exciting shit. get into it.

Todd Westphal; friend, tour manager, photographer, buddy maker, and heart shaped rock collector extraordinaire put up this picture the other day and I was into it. Figured if you didn’t know about TCW from all the pictures he’s taken through the years of CCWM you should put yourself on and visit his site. His photography is really the business.
