XBox Reverb shows roll on into 2010
21st December 2009
XBox Reverb has been whizzing around the country, showcasing the best new UK music talent at intimate, fan-selected venues. So far we've been wowed by sets from Esser, Pulled Apart By Horses, Dananananaykroyd, Magistrates, Sky Larkin, Copy Haho, Egyptian Hiphop, Napoleon III, and Findo Gask.
LX3 has been multitracking three acts each night and providing a live mix for broadcast. You can browse through video highlights at the XBox Reverb website and keep updated on coming events via Twitter.
Next stop will be Cardiff in February with Ellie Goulding.
Oceansize live DVD extravaganza charts at number eight
9th October 2009
To mark their tenth anniversary, Manchester's Oceansize performed their entire back-catalogue over three consecutive nights at the Roadhouse last October. We were there to capture the audio, with Dash manning the cameras. It was a year in the making, but the resulting box set Feed To Feed entered the official music DVD chart at number eight this week.
The band have a new EP out on 26/10, and are touring Europe and the UK until December.
2009 Exit Festival
10th August 2009
We have recently mixed performances from this year's Exit festival in Serbia, for MTV. The first programme is a "best of" featuring Prodigy, Lily Allen, Moby, Manic Street Preachers, Korn, Madness, Roots Manuva, and others. The show airs across Europe on the MTV HD channel (MTVNHD) this Sunday 16th August at 20.30 CET. Look out for hour-long programmes from the Manics, Moby, Madness and Roots Manuva showing soon on the channel.
Gaymers Grassroots Gigs on Channel 4
3rd June 2009
The 2009 series of Gaymers Grassroots Gigs arrives on British TV screens tonight and every Wednesday night for the next six weeks. The show interviews bands back in their home town, and captures them playing an exclusive gig in a local (often tiny) venue. Tonight you can check out The Maccabees at Brighton's Great Escape festival. Later shows in the series feature Starsailor, The Holloways, The Rumble Strips, The Twang and The Zutons.
Hosted by NIck Grimshaw, the programme airs around midnight every Wednesday on Channel 4 (check the schedules for exact broadcast times).
Gig audio was recorded by LX3 and mixed by Dan Massie.
Siouxsie Sioux's Finale DVD charts this week
27th May 2009
Finale, the highly-anticipated live DVD from Siouxsie's Mantaray tour, was released last Monday. Audio recorded by ourselves, mixed by Steve Evans.
On pre-release orders alone, Finale had been in Amazon's top ten for about three weeks. It entered the official music DVD chart this week at number four, beaten only by McFly who held onto the number one position, and the Clapton/Winwood show from Madison Square Garden which was a new entry at three. (Call me strange, but I don't really think of High School Musical as a music DVD).
