Who's in the Studio
Rusty Kotzur with Emersom Biggins Band
 Rusty
Kotzur , a TRCoA Advanced Music Production student, and The Emmerson
Biggins Band have been working in the studio recently. Fused together
in 2005 as a side project for Mark Stubby Staab and Todd Marquart
of the rock/blues band the Nosmo Kings and Keith Long and Michael
Ferg Ferguson of the original hard rock band Lowside they created
Emmerson Biggins. With Ferguson on drums, Long laying down the bass
lines, Todd on guitar and Stubby on vocals; they have a good time
and in turn the crowd has a good time and the whole place turns
into a party.
Listen to a clip of a song Rusty and the boys
in Emersom Biggins have been working on.
Zach Hillyard with NVANE
 NVANE
was in the studio recently working with Zach Hillyard, a TRCoA Advanced
Music Production student. NVANE is bringing back hard rock music
the way it is supposed to be played to Austin. No more silly outfits,
weird haircuts or eyeliner on stage. Just pure in-your-face heaviness
spliced with rich melodies and searing instrumentals. Evocative
of early Tool, Alice In Chains, and Soundgarden with hints of newer
rock acts such as Disturbed, Deftones, and Korn, NVANE pay homage
to their roots with every note they play and every fan they gain.
Listen to a clip of a song Zach and NVANE
are working on.
Joseph Radtke with The Sweethearts
 The
Sweethearts have been in the studio recently working with Joseph
Radtke, a TRCoA Beginning Audio student. The Sweethearts play catchy,
buzz-saw, punk rock songs influenced by The Ramones, Blondie, The
Go-Go's, Joan Jett and 60's girl groups. The band is fronted by
Linette on vocals, Ren on guitar, Ben on lead guitar, Marc on bass
and Joel on drums. Their songs deal with issues everyone can relate
to: heartbreak, dreaming, drinking, being young and silly, and just
having fun.
Listen to a clip of a song Joseph and The
Sweethearts are working on.

Studios recorded the Austin Youth Orchestra's Spring Concerts on
