A star-studded start to the week...

Johnny Mosely yesterday, and Henry Rollins today. Not a bad start to this week here at The Coupe!

Project Sanctuary PSA

We collaborated with Ad2 Denver and all the fine folks below to help out with this PSA for Project Sanctuary - a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide therapeutic, curative, supportive and recreational activities to veterans, active military personnel, their spouses and children in a leisure environment. The music you hear at the top of the spot is "Brother" from Meniskus, also recorded right here at Coupe! This radio PSA is also being made into a TV spot as well.

Big thanks to:

Meniskus

Yum.

Check out this new Boston Market spot - conceived and produced by Boulder's Casa Criss Productions, shot by !mpossible and a local crew (and very small cast), with Coupe sweetening the stock music and mixing the spot, this was another 100% Colorado production.
Who says Colorado can't compete with LA and New York?!?
Oh. Nobody says that?
Well, good.

"The Cove" takes home an Oscar!

The largely Colorado-produced film won the Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary last night. Coupe Engineer/Sound Designer Kelly Garry is credited on the film's audio. Congrats to Director Louis Psihoyos and the whole team who helped make this such a powerful documentary! The Cove Official Website

Putting the M back in MTV

Do our eyes deceive us?
Is MTV really putting actual music back on its airwaves?
According to Ad Age, it is: "Unplugged" is returning!

Paper Bird mixing at Coupe

Paper Bird has been gracing our halls lately mixing for their second full length album to be released this summer. They're working with Coupe producer/engineer John McVey, who's having an absolute blast working with the seven-piece band.
While we've been fans around here for a long time, the band was introduced to a whole new audience when they were recently featured on NPR's All Things Considered.
Catch them on the road in March/April on their "Sunrise Tour" with stops in Texas, New Orleans, South Carolina, New York, Virginia, Philadelphia and more. Check em out at www.paperbirdband.com
