Major combat operations

An explosion of activity yesterday — and construction is done.
Giuliana painted all the molding in the live room, James installed all the trim in the Ruby Room and Jim & Wharton cleaned out construction debris from the entire place.
Add a couple of carpets, a drum kit, some amps and a table lamp and it’s starting to look like a studio!
Rich Holst dropped by last night to break in the live room with some tunes on his acoustic guitar:
Jim’s Telecaster looks happy in its new home:
And a blue party bulb gives the Ruby Room just the right mood:
Many more tasks ahead — not least of which is soldering the patch bays — but the hard, painful work is over at last.

“The Kennel feels like home to me and the Sharp Things. We’ve recorded a few tunes at the studio thus far, with stellar results, and we’re breaking ground later this month on our fourth album and we couldn’t be more excited. The engineers are top-notch, the gear runs from sought-after vintage to state-of-the-art, and the overall vibe is friendly, cool and accommodating. And while the space is modest-sized, the acoustics are grand and there’s an enviable view of the Manhattan skyline.“
— Perry Serpa of The Sharp Things
