Kris teaches his Bass line to “It’s amazing”.

Posted: August 26, 2011 by penthousetheband in Music, Other, Videos

Yea, as part of his online teaching, Kris will teach all of the Bass lines he created in Penthouse to his online students.

It’s a unique concept, and one that will be very educational to his followers, as he also teaches why he plays the lines that he does, rather than just teaching the lines. That’s the important bit.

Anyway, here is the first lesson, and a video better explaining the idea. He hopes you enjoy it!

Video for our track It’s Amazing nearing completion…

Posted: July 28, 2011 by reallybrown in Music

We have been filming and editing in-house for a while to complete the video for our track It’s Amazing.  This has been something of an unusual task for a first release because the track is an epic at 10:45 in length.  However, we are proud to have put the clip together by calling upon our own talents.

More details here soon.  Keep watching.  :)

Kris Explains the Penthouse project…

Posted: July 16, 2011 by penthousetheband in Other, Uncategorized

…a unique learning opportunity for his students.

As some of you maybe aware, Kris, the Bass player, songwriter and singer from Penthouse has his own Bass guitar tuition website, that is doing very well.  he has literally taught thousands of people online, and has recently hit twenty thousand subscribers on his youtube channel!

The Penthouse project is something he wanted to create for his students, so they could learn practical applications of everything Bass-related that he teaches.

FINAL REHEARSALS… AND THE OPEN GOLF… OH NO!…

FINAL REHEARSALS… AND THE OPEN GOLF… OH NO!…

We have to get through the Open Golf traffic to get to Dave Neal’s Studio in Sandwich for the second to last rehearsal before playing live at Redwalls in Canterbury for the very first time in public. :)

See below for details of that fundraising gig, entry fees, location, etc. A very worthy cause, indeed.

The PENTHOUSE set – all our own material – looks likely to be taken from this list at the moment:

  • Got The Blues
  • It’s Amazing
  • Lonky’s Message
  • One Last Great Goodbye (Jump, Lily, Jump)
  • Golem Inside My Head
  • 10 Seconds
  • Crackerjack Girl
  • Lucy Sits

If you happened to be in Kent, it would be nice if you could make it! :)

Penthouse in the studio!

Here is a video that covers what we got up to at Anchor Baby studios, with Dan Lucas:

And here is a summary of the day:

…So recently, my band ‘Penthouse’ recorded with Dan Lucas at Anchor baby studios.

Penthouse is the musical voice of the TOWERS, and each piece of music is about a person that lives in a room within the Towers. So we don’t write songs in a typical fashion. They are more pieces of music.

So, we recorded two pieces. One was 7 minutes long, and one 10.

They day went without hitch. Even considering the length of these tracks. The studio has a laid back vibe about it, that would put any band at ease. Dan himself is professional, which is refreshing after what we have had to deal with in the past. His sound, in my opinion is second to none. The final mixes of the songs will be coming soon for you to hear.

We recorded in that studio over two weeks ago, and Dan has gone beyond the call of duty with these mixes. He’s fine tuned them to an art form.

I think that everyone in this band, who are no fools by the way, would recommend Dan. Infact, we will be booking more time in the late summer, and will consistantly do so.

Penthouse are fans of Anchor baby studios. Dan doesn;t know it yet, but he lives in the Towers…

Here is a video of what we got up to on the day:

Gig on the 31st July! (Music in the garden)

Posted: July 6, 2011 by penthousetheband in Gigs, Music

Yup, Penthouse have their first gig!

It’s a nice laid back out door gig, which should suit us down to the ground.  We have that ‘festival feel’ when we play.  The band are really looking forward to this…

We’ll upload pictures and videos of the day when we get back.

Welcome to Penthouse!
