Tab The Band - Pulling Out Just Enough To Win

Pulling Out Just Enough To Win - Tab The Band

In the summer of 2006, Shane O’Connor and fellow engineer Kevin Ennis recorded Pulling Out Just Enough To Win at Vindaloo, Aerosmith’s personal headquarters and recording studio. The privelege of working in such a facility offered the use of some of rock and roll’s most sought after vintage gear.

“Through the course of the recording process, we would move a box in the back warehouse, and find an unmarked box full of vinatage microphones or an extremely rare guitar amp. Most of the equipment at Vindaloo was gear that most studios and engineers dream about owning. The whole place was comprised of this type of gear… amazing”

Blackbutton – That Thing You Want To Put A Finger To Is Because

Black Button - That Thing You Want To Put A Finger To Is Because

Released in the spring of 2009, That Thing That You Want To Put A Finger To Is Because put Blackbutton on the map of vital Boston rock bands. Blackbutton and producer Shane O’Connor strove to keep the record close to the live experience of Blackbutton, while still providing a well produced and exciting album.

” The record has a very calculated and artful emotional arch. Throughout the recording experience, we talked extensively about the listener experience, and how they would react to the song sequence and how intros would relate to outro. The result was a record that hopefully will stand the test of time as a piece of work that will be listened to beginning to end”

The Milling Gowns – Diving Bell Shallows

The Milling Gowns- Diving Bell Shallows

Over the course of 9 months in 2007-08 Shane O’Connor and The Milling Gowns produced a growling, intimate and diverse album of gloomy pop. Through careful and arrangements and morose, post goth lyricism, Diving Bell Shallows created a notch in the bedpost of Boston pop rock.

“After the first recording session with The Milling Gowns, I knew this record would be unlike anything I had ever worked on before. Each member was so focused and certain of their end goal for the record, that they really kept me on my engineering and production toes. The sheer quantity of session musicians that came through my studio for this record was a challenge, regardless of the music! There isn’t a song on this record that doesn’t include a left field suprise, either a huge choir, a string section, or a toy piano and yoga mantra sound collage.”

TESTIMONIALS:
“Having worked closely with Shane at the Milkhouse, I can tell you that I have only had great experiences with him. Shane always takes projects a step further by recommending ways in which the artist can better promote themselves after the actual recording process is over.” – Justin Shapiro (producer/ artist manager)

“God Bless The Milkhouse” – Robert Gillies (Boston, MA)

“Genius” – Birds In The Woods (Boston, Ma)

” I can say that I am very happy that I made the choice to work with Shane and have appreciated his continued enthusiasm throughout the recording process” -Kelli Eagan
“From the moment we first met Shane, we knew he was the right one to record our debut EP. Shane mixes deft command of modern technology with a DIY sensibility that can make whatever you’re doing sound its best. Shane is a brilliant engineer. He is approachable and honest in the studio. He wasn’t afraid to ask us for another take when he knew we could do better….nor was he afraid to keep our perfectionism in check and suggest that we keep an existing one. Working with Shane has been one of the most important steps in our development as artists and as musicians. Having worked with Shane, we realize that we ended up with much more than an engineer. We got someone who invested himself fully in our project and in future success. ” – Metaphor For Everything
