Lovin’ the Central Coast

With less sessions due to covid19 we have some room to mention that Aussie Icons The Church were in late November for around 17 days and recorded over 20 possible tunes for a new record. As the band said it was the ideal spot where they could all come from various locations including the USA, and be in one place, in a live room (160 sqr metres), where each could have his own complete ‘World’ set up with all their favourite personal gear at their fingertips. They booked an Air BnB at Avoca Beach, up on the hill overlooking the sea.

Each morning we would walk the 10mins down to the beach for a swim and then find brunch at one of the many surfside cafes.
Arriving at the studio each day around 12pm with everything already set up and ready to go was such a joy and a boon to pure creativity.

In house engineer Andrew Beck looked after the guys so well the comment ‘like one of the band’ was heard.
