briguy Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) For more information please email: jt@bentpennyrecords.com ------------- Of Interest to: Music Lovers For those of you who do not know me, I am the former lead singer of the band Staggered Crossing and the owner of Bent Penny Records. I have been an active member of the Canadian Music Community for over a decade now. Over the past six months I had been working on my very first solo album. I was recording with my producer friend Ed Zych from Massive Chang Studio's. [blurb] On December 20th in the wee hours of the morning two punks broke into Ed's studio and stole a bunch of gear, including the masters for my upcoming solo record. It is hard to believe that some people have such little regard for others. [/blurb] Needless to say, It's has been a very personal and painful experience for everyone involved. I do not expect to get the album back and will most likely have to start from scratch come the New Year. However, I felt that it was worth a try to spread the word about it in case something turns up. Some of the equipment is pretty distinctive, so if anyone happens to be passing by a pawn shop or music store and sees any of it, please let us know... here are some of the more distinctive items that were stolen from Massive Chang Studio's: An External Hard Drive: My album title is "Blank Tape Levy" Cherry red Gibson Les Paul Studio light Mark 2 Fender P bass "sting" signature model Groove Tubes GT67 tube mic Radial JDI di box Hard-drive Perhaps it may generate some awarness about the stole tapes and equipment. You never know where and when they could turn up. Pictures of the guitars have been attached to this email and rough demos from my forth coming album can be found at www.myspace.com/ juliandeantaylor If anyone does come across the gear and wishes to remain anonymous they may drop it off at Hudson Taylor Studio located at 12 Birch Ave in Toronto. Please forward this email along to anyone that you know that may be of any help. I hope that this finds you well. Happy New Year! Thanks for your time, Kind Regards, Julian p.s. On a side note, I will be performing my new material at Dora Keogh's at 141 Danforth on January 9th Edited January 9, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Funk Dawg Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Having your recordings stolen I'm sure is the biggest dissapointment - equipment can be replaced - albeit it depends on the amount of work put in - but I'm willing to say that that part hurts the most - trying to capture those performances again will be painfulthis actually happened to a friend of mine from Halifax - Carlo Spinazolla - he was recording in a makeshift studio in Halifax's North end with Jorun Bombay ( the guy that Buck 65 credits the most in getting him started in Halifax) - they were creating a hip hop meets blues Album - and some crackhead must have come in stolen a bunch of shit and they lost a couple months worth of work.Carlo Spinazolla came from a rich musical family ~ he would likely be the 2nd guitarist in Slowcoaster if he was still here today. He let me comedown and listen to them record - it was a sound that I'd never heard before - fat hip hop beats combined with roots blues guitar and firey lap slide. The project was still only developing they (Carlo and Jorun) had been getting together on and off for a couple of months - but the project took a life to it's own.Unfortunately Carlos - who was a prolific artist (he was a painter & musician) was having depression problems - he had moved out west and upon a deep depression he took his own life. The whole thing is pretty shrouded in mystery - the family did not release that info until well after his funeral. Best of luck to you Julian - i hope some karma helps you get your stuff back.
