Bendy Music’s Josh Sklair and Andy Snavley combine forces to deliver a compelling music score for IN-D Presents documentary, “Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West”. All music for this project was arranged through a unique licensing arrangement with Bendy.

Bendy provides CD mastering services for Karaoke Ice, a public art project, an ice cream truck-turned-mobile-karaoke-unit, will be deployed throughout Los Angeles to unite people in a collective quest to perform and record new versions of pop songs using the vernacular of ice cream truck music. Karaoke Ice introduces people to the playful ways in which technology can be used to give voice to personal and collective concerns, as well as enable meaningful social interaction between groups, both large and small. While Karaoke Ice explores a large range of LA neighborhoods, LACE's Listening Parties will invite a diversity of communities into LACE.

Andy Snavley of Bendy Music preps some musical mashing tracks for Projekt Revolution, a Verizon sponsored online “Mash Battle” between rock bands Linkin Park and H.I.M.. Each mash battle was created by remixing the master recordings of each song, and creating separate music elements that are played back in a multitrack web interface.

Guest vocalists Josie Cotton, Jack Grisham (TSOL), and Jim Lindberg (Pennywise) stop by to sing a couple covers for the up coming Ramones tribute / benefit album “Brats on the Beat” produced by former L7 bassist Jennifer Precious Finch and on the Go-Kart record label.

Guest vocalists Nick Oliveri (Queens of the Stone Age, Mondo Generator), and Blag Dahlia (Dwarves) converge to sing a couple covers for the up coming Ramones tribute / benefit album produced by former L7 bassist Jennifer Precious Finch and engineered by Andy Snavley.

Bendy Music’s Dean Menta and the band Sparks to do some more tracking for their upcoming album “Hello Young Lovers” with Andy Snavley once again engineering.
 
“Sparks have completed work on the new album Hello Young Lovers which is, quite simply an extraordinary masterpiece. To achieve such enormity and expansiveness Ron and Russell Mael worked in a limitless vacuum for the best part of 18 months. The only inspiration taken from any current music was the provocation to go as far as possible in the opposite direction. When writing and recording Lil’ Beethoven Sparks broke the rules, but in creating Hello Young Lovers the rule book has been thrown away.”

Bendy Music’s Dean Menta tracks some acoustic guitars at Bendy for the up coming Sparks release “Hello Young Lovers” with Andy Snavley engineering. The friendly people at Sage Electronics were kind enough to provide us with an early production model of their fantastic new microphone called the Bova Ball SE-BBE1. This is truly a unique mic, it is gently omni directional, is phantom powered, captures transients clearly and has terrific frequency detail. We loved it so much we bought 2 more! The Bova Balls, have found a happy home here recording acoustic guitars, stereo piano, drum overheads, and cymbals.

Former L7 bassist Jennifer Precious Finch and her current band The Shocker track vocals, guitars and bass at Bendy for their upcoming full length release “Up Your Ass Tray”, produced and engineered by Bendy Music’s Dean Menta and Andy Snavley.

Dean Menta has been touring with the band Sparks in promotion of their “Lil’ Beethoven” release.
