Congratulations to Threshold Studios Alumni ATOMIC TOM on their recent YouTube viral video success with their fab 'B Train' performance of 'Take Me Out'. In 2007 Producer James Walsh and his team recorded several songs with the band including 'You Always Get What You Want' and 'Dirty Girl'- playing a small but vital role in helping spin off the career of singer Luke White while he was getting his independent footing in the NYC's LES music scene. 'You Always Get What You Want' eventually landed the boys a well paid and vital AMC commercial trailer placement and both songs recorded and produced here at the studio enjoyed considerable success in various MTV show placements.Quality recording and productions certainly provided some of the ammo they needed to build a strong team and eventually land a label deal- and now this smashing 1.7 million view success! They've been busting their butts for several years now and deserve this opportunity. Support them! Rock on Luke:)Hey - was that Luke and Eric on...

In 2008/9 Jeremy Sklarsky produced the Freelance Whales debut album "Weathervanes" record at Threshold Studios. Twitter got a hold of the record and used the opening track in a video to promote the new twitter platform. A few days later, the clip had over 2 million views. They've also had songs on "Grey's Anatomy," HBO's "Bored To Death," "Chuck," and "Ugly Betty." It goes to show you what kind of licensing opportunities and exposure can be available to the right band with quality production. Jeremy is currently looking for the next big thing. Is that you? ...

Great session down at Threshold Studios this week. Kirsten Thein, who was recently honored with a Songwriter's Hall of Fame Abe Olman Scholarship, came down to record some basics with her band. Kirsten has a classic sound and a great, smoky voice. Kirsten ThienKirsten was backed by as good a group of musicians as you're likely to find, including Steve Holley (who played drums with Wings in the 70's!), Erik Boyd on bass (and producing) Tommy Mandel on keys (check out his credits btw), and Arthur Neilson on guitar. The biggest surprise of the day was the arrival of Hubert Sumlin, who sat in on guitar for two songs. Hubert is on Rolling Stone's Top 100 Guitarists of All Time list. He played with Howlin' Wolf in the early days and is a major influence on the British guitarists of the 60's who basically set out to copy American blues players. Jimmy Page even stole a Hubert Sumlin lick for Led Zepplin's Lemon Song. Don't be surprised if he finds himself into the Rock and...
