APRIL 2008

* Well, after problems with computers, servers, etc, i have finally gotten around to update this thing called a website!!! Lots has been happening, so here is a short blog.

* Operators from Sunline Music are now doing in house at venues including the Excelsior Hotel Surry Hills, Caringbah Bizzo's, Annandale Hotel, Bar Me.

* Sunline Music has installed a small system into the new RNB church in Auburn. Hopefully this will be an ongoing partnership between the two which will see both the church and the systems increase in quality and in size.

* Stuart from Sunline Music and through the Excelsior Hotel have struck up an arrangement with Audix microphones. Renowned for the excellent kick mic the D6, Audix has also released two fantastic vocal condenser mics, the VX5 and VX10 for live performance. They are brilliant and the VX5 is currently on trial at the venue.

* The studio has undergone a small revamp, with Nick from Ninety Six K recordings relocating to Penrith. Amongst other things, a new mixing desk and foldback system has been placed in the studio for an even clearer and louder vocal sound .

* Also, weekends are now available for regular rehearsal bookings. Call Stuart 0421 160 284 for details. In conjunction with this, a new price list has also been created, which can be seen at the Rehearsal section of the site.

*An Ex-Hire section will be shown here on this front page where second hand equipment will be advertised for sale

MARCH 2006

* We are very pleased to announce the addition of the EV Elliminator system to our range of PA's. Up to 1600 watts of very clear and warm sound, a system that will be ideal for any small to medium sized show. Check out the P.A.hire and Equipment section for details of our current systems available.

* Knucklepuk are overdue to enter the studio to record some demo tracks with Nick for the upcoming EP

* On the subject of Nick, congratulations to him as he ties that knot with his bride to be Anita. All the best to you mate.

* The Iguana Bar starts up again on Tuesday 21st March and Sunline Music will once again be providing the PA system and operators for the Tuesday and Friday night shows. This is a great venue and should really take off as one of the best intimate live venues in Sydney.

* There are several initiatives Sunline Music is hoping to become involved in this year in the attempts to promote local original music. Keep your eyes on this page for more details

JANUARY 2006

* Happy New Year to you all. Here is what will be happening this year:

* We are looking to expand our live PA hire section, with the addition of one or two more systems. Even more exciting, is by the end of the year, we are aiming to have a "drive-away" hire facility where amps, speakers, mics, desks etc, will be available for self operation hire, and can be hired separately instead of having to hire a whole system.  Click on P.A.hire and Equipment for details of our current systems available.

* Nick will be continuing his great work in the recording side of things, with even more bands booked in to record.

* Sunline is hoping by the end of the year to finally launch our Corporate Audio Visual section which will specialise in small to mid size conferences and corporate functions.

* The Solution are part way through recording and mixing their first EP. Drum tracks were recorded at Sunline  and the boys are in the process of finishing the songs off at their home studios.

* Oyama are continuing to write and record for what could be their second and third full length CD's, even before the first one has been released! Could be a big year for the guys.

JANUARY 2005

* Happy New Year to you all. This year looks like being another big year for Sunline. I know its such a cliché to say it will be bigger and better that last year, but it is true

* We have added two packages to our PA hire department, with the mid size 1400w systems being brought in. Not only are we converting our 2000w Mackie rig to the 1400 w size, but we have added the Yorkville brand to our list of quality equipment. Click on P.A.hire and Equipment for more details.

* Nick has been in the studio, recording a demo with Knucklepuk, and its sounds awesome. I believe it is the best sounding recording to come out of the northern beaches for the last decade. Yes i am bias, but if you want to check it out for yourself, visit www.purevolume.com/knucklepuk

* Talking of Knucklepuk, watch out for them as they will be touring the country in March and April.

* Lowride also have started writing new material for a new recording due to be completed by mid this year

* Its great to see The Solution are back gigging again. After Parrish settling into the band, replacing Phil on guitar, the drummer Sean, decided to badly break his hand which meant the band had to delay their comeback by a further three months. Finally they get to play their first gig for a long time at the Excelsior at Surry Hills on Friday 21st Jan. I would recommend you check it out if you like your rock n roll.

* Oyama are already starting to write songs for their second CD, even before the first one has been released. In what has been a bit of a coup for the band, their first not even released single "You don't Know Exactly What I Mean" has been gaining airplay on FBI's Sydney Unsigned show on Wednesday nights.

* If you are interested in booking the rehearsal studio, check out the front page of the site. I have added a spot that lets you know what is available for the week. As you have encountered, the studio is always relatively well booked, so here is a way to check on a spot before you call.

* The Solution have recruited Parish Mahouberac as their new guitarist. Parish, who recently produced the Hell City Glamours debut EP "Les Infidelis", has brought a new dynamic to the band which they should be ready to reveal to the world in mid- November

* Oyama will have their album ready for release by the end of the year. Recorded by bass player Matt Cranney at Sunline Studio, this CD really catches the ear and will be worth checking out. Don't forget to catch the Oyamarians at the Fisho's this Saturday night. They will be on stage at 10pm.
