Up Next – Recording Drew’s Guitars at TI Studios
Sep 28, 2009 Recording
As many of you may be aware, our lead guitarist and Drew’s brother Neil recently had a delivery from the stork!
So while Neil is busy learning the ins and outs of sleep deprived diaper origami the rest of the The Whitehalls are focused on more recording. Specifically Drew is up next to start recording his guitar parts for the next album.
We’re starting tonight and working with super producer B, of Karmacoda fame, to move to Defcon 2 with Drew and his guitar parts. So far things are shaping up fantastically and we’re already looking forward to the fun of mixing as these songs sound amazing even in totally raw form!
We’ll post some pics soon!

Sep 7, 2009 Recording
So the first order of business as The Whitehalls is recording the follow up to our well received “Say It Like You Mean It”.
In addition to the new name it’s also the first record written and recorded with Bill Shupp on drums and produced by super producer B. from Karmacoda.
With that in mind we headed up to Laughing Tiger, a fantastic studio in San Rafael to get basics recorded. Ask for Ari – he’s the man!
We’ll spend the next few months finishing recording at our studio and mixing at Sola Musa in Brisbane. But here’s a few inside pics of the process:

And last but not least – the studio mascot!

Sep 7, 2009 Know the Band
Well it finally happened – the band you know and love as Heathrow had to make a change.
As much as we loved the name Heathrow it was starting to be more than just a nuisance and had moved into becoming an obstacle.
I’m sure many of our friends and fans have searched iTunes & CD Baby for us and been surprised when they listened to the Heathrow tracks that they found – “that doesn’t sounds anything like Drew!”
Or maybe you search for photos on Flickr and found yourself wondering when Drew started wearing cowboy hats and leather (nope – that’s The Heathrow Band from AZ).
So with a bit of a heavy heart, but with more excitement over making it easier for us to reach our fans, I’d like to introduce you to the band formerly known as Heathrow:
say hello to:
The Whitehalls!
- Drew, Neil, Paul, Bill
