Yesterday was an exciting day for us at Rock Hard Studios (www.rock-hard-studios.co.uk)
Much as we hate to let anyone down, we had to tell two bands that they couldn't have the night they wanted, and this is with us now having two rooms open.
So we now have two bands in on a monday, tuesday wednesday and thursday, and also bands over the weekend.
Living the Dream!!
Also, we've bought some studio monitors (http://www.krksys.com/index2.php?cat=products&page=v8_series2) which are being delivered tomorrow, and the control room is nearly finished ready to house them.
So, recording is now only a few weeks away :-)
ACE!

Will you get some f*cking MANNERS!
I'll tell y'all about the title to this blog in a bit...
but to the news - we got the first three coats of paint in room 4, loads of the electrics done (cheers sparky dave) and all the plaster board up in both room 4 and the chill out room. Room 3 has it's floor down and the basic electric ring in for the plugs..
so, the other day we're sitting having some fish and chips and dan belches like the disgusting animal he is so i said "will you get some fucking manners" and dave laughed so much he now says it to everyone, all the time. So, you heard it here first.
some more breaking news, Pink Hearse (http://www.myspace.com/itspinkhearse) have a new bassist, my buddy Lauren (www.myspace.com/lil_mizz_vampire)... well done girl!! i'm sure you're going to be ace.
the gig last night with oscars park was a bit of a bust, because rob couldn't hear his in-ear-monitors and thought i was turning it down - it was more to do with wax in his ears i'm sure, but hey.. life goes on.
rock hard studios (www.rock-hard-studios) will be open next week and we'll be taking bookings from tomorrow.. here's to being full from the first day we open ace!!!
so for now...
will you just get some FUCKING manners!!!

Fibre Glass is nasty :-)
Hey there, just a quick update for posterity of what happened last night at the studio..
..well i say last night, but it was all day as I took the day off from my full time job to devote to getting this studio built!
Amongst other things, we finished batoning (sp?) Room 4, and studded Room 3, and I put fibre glass rock wool type stuff up throughout Room 4. We also booked the carpets in to be fitted on Monday (nothing like pressure to encourage you to work hard!) and Dave the Sparky (lighting dood for Oscars Park (http://www.oscarspark.co.uk) and generally all round punk geezer) came and wired up Room 4, with all that safety type stuff like smoke detectors and emergency lighting and everything.
We spent lots of money too.. it seems to be a constant thing that, spending money hehe.
So, we're on track to open next week, not this weekend, but that's not such a bad thing, and we're going to have the carpet fitted professionally - amen!! finally, something we don't have to learn how to do...
Talking of Oscars Park, we have to have a night off building tonight cos I'm doing the sound for them, while Dan is at Riffs (http://www.riffslive.co.uk/) for the regular thursday slot. The Wheeljacks are playing, who we like a lot :-).. big up guys!!!
Well, that's the update for today.. as I type this shackled to my desk at NST (i love it really :D) Mr Dan and Mr Chris are slaving away at the studio getting walls done and painting and stuff - or at least they'd better be hehe.

Studio Being Built!
Well then, first blog, and it's an exciting one!
First, a bit of background.
The Rock Hard Music Group (www.rhmg.co.uk) are based in Blackpool, and are committed to developing the Musical Community in this wonderful town. We run jam nights for new bands (www.rock-hard-live.co.uk), as well as providing gigs for more established acts, and are able to record these events for posterity.
We are also getting close to opening the Rock Hard Studios (www.rock-hard-studios.co.uk), a professional quality rehearsal and recording facility based in the centre of blackpool, with four rehearsal rooms and a digital recording suite. (More importantly maybe we're also providing N64, Playstation 2 and - most impressively, table football in the chill out room!)
So, this blog will follow our continuing journey through building the studio (tonight, we're finishing studding the walls in the first room, and sanding down some other walls preparatory to painting), and also update you on all the other things that are going on in the world of Rock Hard Music Group.
our MySpace (where we run a lot of our business from) is : www.myspace.com/rockhardrecordsuk. Alternativey, visit www.rhmg.co.uk for contact details.
