I’ve known Charlie Vela since back in the day when he used to rock the drums with .thedecember drive, one of the valley’s first pioneering indie rock bands, maybe much longer than that, even I forget. Since then, he’s been engineering and producing for some great regional and national talent out of his makeshift studios at home. Recently he called me up to check out his new workplace in Edinburg alongside Roli, a producer who’s been in the business for quite some time in Spanish rock bands as well as a music engineer. WOW. The smell of fresh-scented wood enters your nostrils as you walk in, and you can’t help but enjoy every single whiff, much less the awe-inspiring beauty you instantly surround yourself with. Bands and artists interested in some serious studio time with some talented engineers and producers, there’s no other place like this south of Austin. Here’s a few photos I took to get them an early start with their marketing campaign.
