January 2010. Happy New Year! We recently finished mixing Soul Serene's new EP and are very excited for them. Soul Serene recently won the Fox 12 Battle of the Bands. The EP will be released soon which is good news for the quickly growing Soul Serene fan base. After spending a good portion of the year at The Tonic Room, Marcus Eaton will be releasing his new full length CD soon (due out in early 2010). Mastering is being done by Evran Goknar of Capitol Recording Studios in Hollywood. Boise's favorite honky tonk/outlaw country band Jeremiah James Gang Band played at the Old Idaho Penitentiary on Oct. 11, 2009. The concert was held in the courtyard of the Old Pen where Rage Against the Machine infamously performed in 1996. The concert was multitrack recorded by The Tonic Room. Thaddeus Turner (Maktub, Thaddillac) recorded three more songs at The Tonic Room in June 2009. Thaddeus has been writing, playing, and producing all tracks on the spot. More vocal tracking dates to follow after a European tour. Here is a picture of Thaddeus's funk arsenal part 1. Kofi Baker, son of legendary Cream drummer Ginger Baker, recorded at The Tonic Room in April 2009. Kofi was in town for a live preformance and a recording session at The Tonic Room with guitar master, Ned Evett. The Tonic Room recorded John Nemeth Live At The Knitting Factory on March 19th, 2009. A native Boisean, John Nemeth's new CD was #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart that week and has been #1 on the Roots Music Chart since February. Idaho Statesman -- October 31, 2008 "The new Eagles of Death Metal album, "Heart On", received four stars in the Oct. 30 Rolling Stone. This would not be locally notable except for the fact that three of the songs, including the title track, were laid down at Boise's Tonic Room Recording Studio. The work was done while Queens of the Stone Age was in town for a concert last year; QOTSA's frontman, Josh Homme, drums for Eagles of Death Metal." --Michael Deeds Boise-based Equaleyes records, "While I'm Alive", at The Tonic Room Studios and hits #1 at The Record Exchange in Boise, Idaho (August 5th, 2008). The Black Kids of Florida were in The Tonic Room Studios previewing mixes for the upcoming release, "Partie Traumatic" (Columbia). (April 18th, 2008) "Partie Traumatic" later recieved 3.5 stars in Rolling Stone and hit #5 in the UK. Marcus Eaton's "Story Of Now" is named the #1 CD of 2007, George Graham Radio, WVIA-FM, 89.9, Scranton, PA. Idaho Statesman -- February 2, 2007 Idahoan Josh Ritter has a cool new record for sale at the Record Exchange.
