  • Black Lodge Recording Studio for Sale by David Oakes June 18, 2009
    Black Lodge recording studio for sale by David Oakes June 18, 2009 Some of the bands that have recorded at Black Lodge Recording in Eudora have claimed it was haunted. Owners Ed Rose and Ryan and Rob Pope have decided to sell the studio, making it a possibility that the studio could itself become a specter of the regional music scene of which it has been a part for the last 20 or so years. Relocation and relaxation factored heavily into why the trio of owners decided to sell the studio. Ryan and Rob Pope, who form the rhythm section of the band the Get Up Kids, are moving to Portland, Ore. And Rose and Ryan Pope both said they would enjoy the artistic side of creating music a lot more if they didn’t have to deal with the business side of it. “Not having to deal with all the little things that come with owning a recording studio in a 150- year-old building will open up more time for me to spend on the fun part of my job,” said Rose, who also is a sound engineer at the studio. Rose and members of the Get Up Kids purchased the studio when it still was called Red House Studios, which had been around since the early 1990s. Ryan Pope estimated that hundreds of albums by bands such as the Get Up Kids, Motion City Soundtrack, the Appleseed Cast and the Ultimate Fakebook have been recorded at the studio. Jeff Jackson is one of the many people who had spent time recording at Black Lodge.

    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 08.02.2019 The Get Up Kids im Mai auf Tour The Get Up Kids sind zurück! Doch als ob diese erfreuliche Nachricht nicht genug wäre: sie bringen auch noch neue Musik raus! Lange war es still um die legendäre Band aus Kansas City. Bis dann im vergangenen Jahr plötzlich und quasi aus dem Nichts „Kicker“ erschien, eine EP mit vier neuen und ziemlich knalligen Stücken, zusammen mit der Ankündigung, dass bald ein sechstes Studioalbum folgen werde. Der Titel ist eine Anspielung auf ihre vielen Touren in Europa, wo sie spektakulären Fußball kennen und lieben gelernt haben. Ist ja klar, denn was die Band beschäftigt hat, hat sich immer auch in ihrer Musik gespiegelt. Die vier Tracks zeigen denn auch Männer mit Anfang 40, die von ihrem Leben erzählen und, wie schon immer bei den Get Up Kids, nichts auslassen. Die Jungs sind in der Öffentlichkeit groß geworden und haben sich eben daran gewöhnt, alles mit der Welt zu teilen. Musikalisch sind Matt Pryor (Gitarre, Gesang), Jim Suptic (Gitarre, Gesang), Rob Pope (Bass), Ryan Pope (Drums) und James Dewees (Keyboards) erst mal einen Schritt zurück gegangen - zurück zu den Anfängen in den Neunzigern. Exemplarisch für den inhaltlichen und altersentsprechenden Wandel, aber auch für die Kindsköpfigkeit der Mitglieder und die Selbstironie steht das Video zu „I’m Sorry“, wo sich eine Menge Kinder für die Rücksichtslosigkeiten rächen, die die Bandmitglieder ihnen angetan haben. Ein wenig Nostalgie also, bevor es mit der kommenden Platte wieder straight nach vorne geht und The Get Up Kids mit neuem Material im Mai zu uns auf Tour kommen.

Designed and built in-house by our staff of engineers, this robotic “Drum Machine,” called the Gluing Gantry, ensures that every Evans head has a true collar. A series of vacuum fixtures holds the film in place for each head while the robotic gluing arm circles above the hoop and dispenses epoxy. The result is a drumhead that tunes both easily and consistently. At Evans, we do it right the first time. And every time.

  • Black Lodgers Ed Rose and Ryan Pope Talk About the Past and The
    Black Lodgers Ed Rose and Ryan Pope talk about the past and the prospective future of their storied Eudora studio by Richard Gintowt, May 19, 2009 There's a giant FOR SALE banner hanging on the front of Black Lodge Recording Studio in Eudora, Kansas. If anyone steps up, one of our music scene's defining institutions could begin anew. Otherwise, it'll most likely disappear. The area's pre-eminent music studio has been on the market for six months. With no takers as yet, $300,000 gets you the studio and all its equipment; $200,000 gets you an empty old building in downtown Eudora. For 20 years, the studio has churned out some of the best records in local history, by such artists as the Get Up Kids, Ultimate Fakebook, Koufax, the Casket Lottery, the Appleseed Cast, Coalesce, Vedera and many more. It has brought national acts like Motion City Soundtrack and Brandtson to town to make records in the homey confines of Eudora, where the spirit is fed by relative isolation and Jasmin Restaurant's bold pairing of Chinese and Mexican takeout. Even today, amid all the music industry's struggles, Black Lodge maintains a steady business. This month's clients include Coalesce, Empires, the Sexy Accident and Black Tie. So why is it for sale? First and foremost, the three owners are moving on to new adventures. Get Up Kids Ryan and Rob Pope are getting up and moving to Portland, Oregon, and engineer Ed Rose wants to make records in places other than Eudora (he recently worked a gig in Australia).
