Man we had fun making this record. 6 days of basic tracking and 6 months of overdubbing! Okay, not that long, but we really took our time to make this thing sound great and it paid off. I'm very proud of this record to be friends with everyone in this band. You will like their record, its a fun, catchy, tight, little pop gem. You can preview their record from the band's website. Come to the Ghost Room this weekend and buy their record if you like what you hear.

Buzz. They've got it. It's easy to see why, these guys have woodshed for a number of years somewhat under the radar until winning a spot at ACL last year from the Dell Sound and The Jury contest this past year. Good things come to those who wait. They've been playing to packed houses ever since. Their debut full length is equal parts roadhouse blues, classic rock and disco/funk. Their record is due out this fall. Keep your eyes peeled and ears open.

Danny will be joining forces with White Denim over the next 8 weeks to record their upcoming LP on Downtown Records. White Denim are some of the hardest working, nicest and super talented guys Danny's ever encountered. This record will mark a new approach from the band's self-recorded EP/LPs. Rehearsing at the practice space at Good Danny's alternating weeks from tracking out at Lakeside Studio, this record will be a bit more of prepared/pre-arranged recording than the more raw, collage-style, controlled chaos than their last few releases. But don't worry there will be plenty of wreckless freak out, controlled-chaos brewed in. Check out Good Danny's Facebook

Danny and former Belaire cohort Jason Chronis will be mixing JC & Co.'s debut full length all week. Jason and Danny mixed JC & Co.'s beautiful, dreamy, 60's spring reverby 7" French Place Afternoon last summer. Three songs from the French Place 7" will join 8 new songs on this release for a well rounded 12" LP out later this summer.

Lafayette Louisianna's finest Psych Pop/Rock export, Brass Bed's new LP Melt White is being mastered today by our good friend Jeff Lipton at Peerless Mastering in Boston, MA. Brass Bed is quite a unique band...equal parts Beach Boys-esque Dream Pop and Psych Freak Out along with a healthy dose of good ol' American Rock n Roll. Brass Bed came to Austin and stayed at Good Danny's for 17 days last fall crafting what might just have been the most fun record Danny's ever worked. Having spent a month mixing on Lakeside Studio's beautiful Neve 8058 this spring, you can rest assured that this record sounds unbelievable. Brass Bed will be touring the midwest/northeast this summer opening for Alec Ounsworth of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

The Big Bends has been accepted into the Cannes Film Festival! Good luck in France Jason and Sean!

This film is close everyone's heart who was involved in it's creation, Danny's included. Our friend/compatirot, Jason Marlow's directorial debut has turned out quite stellar thanks to many many hours contributed by an all star crew/cast and one really beautiful and dusty week in Terlingua, Texas. Danny post-mixed the film here at Good Danny's as well as doing a great deal of original sound recording out in the desert with Sean Conner to recreate the serene yet isolated environment of this unique area of Texas. Believe me when I say that recording the sound of the desert wind is much more difficult than it sounds. Check out the trailer on under the work/post-production tab!
