We are very excited to be able to reveal the results of our studio time giveaway contest with Fancy Time Studio’s Kyle “Slick” Johnson (Wavves, Cymbal Eats Guitars, Creepoid, etc.). Congratulations to Michelle Zauner’s new project Hoop Dreams for being chosen by Fancy Time Studio to receive two FREE days of recording and mixing time in their fine facility! Below is what Slick had to say about the winner.
What I was really into about Post Post was Michelle Zauner’s songwriting and delivery. I’m a sucker for a good song so I was very excited to hear that her new band "Hoop Dreams" was getting ready to go. Michelle is joined by Kevin O’Halloran on guitar (Post Post), Deven Craige on bass (Golden Ages, Strand of Oaks) and Ian Dykstra (Titus Andronicus) on drums. Hoop Dreams’ new sound has more cajones as compared to Post Post’s material. Seeing as they have no music released under this new moniker, I am excited to be a part of the birth of a new great band.
We’d also like to congratulate Reading Rainbow, The Extraordinaires, Far-Out Fangtooth, Hermit Thrushes, and The Tweeds for making the most excellent list of runner-ups in the contest! They will be receiving two days in the studio with Slick for the price of one which they have all accepted already. It was an honor for The Deli to get a chance to bring such talented artists together. We look forward to hearing what comes from these sessions and collaborations. Thanks to all the great local acts that entered the contest. We know that it was an extremely difficult decision for Fancy Time Studio to make which is a testament to what an amazing music scene that we have here in Philly. Cheers!
