  • Secret Studios
    Legacy Business Registry Staff Report Hearing Date: November 9, 2020 SECRET STUDIOS Application No.: LBR-2020-21-013 Business Name: Secret Studios Business Address: 2200 Cesar Chavez Street District: District 10 Applicant: Happy Sanchez, Owner Nomination Date: September 22, 2020 Nominated By: Mayor London Breed Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Secret Studios, Inc. is a music recording studio and rehearsal space that has been in operation since 1982. Secret Studios initially opened at 250-C Napoleon Street, in an industrial area just south of Potrero Hill, and was comprised of just two small rooms to rehearse and record music. San Francisco’s dense housing stock doesn’t lend itself to “garage bands” and homegrown rehearsal space. It became evident that San Francisco residents were in need of space to come together, practice, and record their music. In 1983, one of these residents looking for space to practice was a young, local musician taking classes at San Francisco State University’s Audio Production department. This local musician, Greg McKee, would go on to become friends with the owner and soon began working at the studio. Three years later, in 1986, McKee (who legally changed his name to Happy Sanchez) was offered the opportunity to purchase Secret Studios and has been keeping music traditions alive as the owner ever since. The demand for studio recording space has kept Secret Studios at full capacity throughout its years, with no need for advertising. The word-of-mouth reputation the studio garnered from the artistic community, as well as the changing demographics of musicians in the Bay Area, has consistently put pressure on the business to expand its space and offerings.

  • Johansen V Sony Music Entertaiment[ED]
    Johansen v. Sony Music Entertaiment Inc David JOHANSEN v. SONY MUSIC ENTERTAIMENT INC 2020 WL 1529442 (SDNY) Ramos, D.J.: David Johansen (“Johansen”), John Lyon (“Lyon”) and Paul Collins (“Collins”, and with Johansen and Lyon, “Plaintiffs”), bring this putative class action against Sony Music Entertainment (“Sony”) for declaratory judgment and copyright infringement. Pending before the Court is Sony’s motion to dismiss all claims. For the reasons discussed below, the motion is DENIED. I. BACKGROUND1 Johansen is an American singer, songwriter and actor, who began his career in the early 1970s. Johansen entered into a recording agreement with Sony in or about 1978. Pursuant to that agreement, Johansen released five albums, David Johansen, The David Johansen Group Live, In Style, Here Comes the Night, and Live It Up. On June 15, 2015, Johansen served a notice of termination on Sony: Additionally, a “Schedule A” as follows is attached to the notice: 1 Johansen v. Sony Music Entertaiment Inc The Copyright Office duly recorded Johansen’s notice on July 28, 2015. On June 14, 2017, two years after Johansen’s termination notice was sent, Sony sent a letter of refusal to Johansen. The letter cites, as reasons for its refusal, that: (a) “the Works are works made for hire,” and thus not subject to termination; (b) “the [n]otice does not adequately identify the specific grant David Johansen seeks to terminate, as the [n]otice broadly makes reference to all grants or transfers of copyright in and to certain sound recordings ‘including, without limitation to the grant dated in or about 1984 between the recording artist David Johansen and Blue Sky Records/CBS, Inc.’ ”; (c) Sony is unaware of any grant made in 1984, and “to the extent that any grant was made,” the grant was made before 1978 and thus 17 U.S.C.

American Graffiti is the title of George Lucas' film that in 1973 launched a phenomenon in the USA: a revival of the Fifties and the Sixties. There was something innocent and magic in those decades that went lost in the Vietnam War and the oil crisis of the Seventies. The rediscovery of those decades is also a rediscovery of the roots of rock and roll. After the fall of alternative rock, Seventies music had become largely corporate-driven. Genres that had been created as rebellion to the Establishment were rapidly becoming mainstream. The music of the Fifties and the early Sixties sounded more authentic. Broadway and Hollywood focused on the Billboard charts, on the one-hit wonders that went lost after the deluge of 1966-67. Thousands of kids playing in their garages and basements focused on the bands that were playing in garages and basements in the Sixties. The second half of the Seventies saw a revival of the whole spectrum: rockabilly, surf music, folk-rock, psychedelia, even horror soundtracks. It was as if an archeological frenzy was shaking the musical fabric of the nation.
