The Town Hall - Backlash

When Brian Larney began recording his 5-song EP, his plan was to call it The Charm Offensive. That changed the day he stumbled across an old political button that read "America Needs J.F.K."

"It was simple, direct and America does need The Town Hall" says Larney, for whom The Town Hall is as much a pseudonym as a band name.

"I prefer playing with a band to playing solo, but it's always The Town Hall, regardless of who is on stage," Larney says. "I like to say that 'We are all the Town Hall,' myself and the audience."

Though America Needs The Town Hall isn't a political album, that it was written in this time of political divide and social upheaval by a writer as introspective and sensitive as Larney, it's little wonder that the state of the media and politics would be so reflected by his songs. Backlash was the writer's reaction to the awful and unfortunate outcome of the Dallas protests last summer: "Everyone has lost it, the crowd loses sight. There's five dead in Dallas tonight."

But not everything is so dark and moody when it comes to Larney's songwriting, which leans as much Burt Bacharach-Partridge Family as the modern, alternative groups he is often compared to as Father John Misty, City and Colour and the Lumineers. 

The video for Backlash was filmed live on stage, right here at Factory Underground Studio in Norwalk, CT. Appearing in the video are frequent collaborators Joel P. Kelley and Jeff Hatcher of the groups Edisun and After The Rush, Kenny Cash on bass, and Adam Matlock on keyboards. The video was directed and edited by Larney himself.

Next up from The Town Hall, a light hearted comedic spoof for "No End In Sight," co-directed and edited by the singer, who appears in the video as an Uber-style driver having the worst day ever. The video will be released to Vevo in September.  

The full five-song American Needs The Town Hall EP is available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and is available as a free download from www.TheTownHallBand.com

Indie Music Couple and New Parents Kenny and Laura Cash Launch In Utero Live Music Video Celebrating First Child

Che-Val is an indie Alt-Pop duo comprised of husband and wife, Kenny and Laura Cash. Their video for The Lead (Live from the Factory Underground) was recently released on Factory Underground's new YouTube Channel, Factory Underground Live. This video was recorded while Laura was seven months pregnant with their daughter, Giabella.

Che-Val - The Lead (Live from the Factory Underground)

New dad Kenny Cash, a record producer that recently launched a website KennyCash.com, is one of the owners of Factory Underground Studio. His wife Laura is a high school chemistry teacher by day, a singer-songwriter by night, and or course a new mom! Music has been the cornerstone of their relationship since the beginning; the two met at Factory Underground where she had gone to demo some songs. She recalled Kenny "was wearing a Purple Rain shirt, and I told him I had never seen it. He couldn't believe it! Prince is one of his musical heroes."

Despite Laura's difficulty of singing during these sessions, the couple wanted to celebrate their pregnancy in a special way that was all their own. The Lullaby Sessions, as they have come to known - Giabella's first recording session, and most certainly not her last- resulted in six recorded songs with performances that were captured on video.

Two of the songs were Che-Val's own, "The Lead" and "I'm Yours," from their recent studio album "Waterproof." The other four were covers of "Say Something" by A Great Big World, "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, "The Way You Make Me Feel" by Michael Jackson and a Prince Medley which included "How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore," "Beautiful Ones," and "Nothing Compares to You." 

"Say Something has been one of Giabella Cash's favorite songs in utero," Kenny said. "When Laura sings it to her now, it instantly calms her down. Our number one fan!"

Kenny Cash Producer Engineer Composer and Owner Of Norwalk CT Music Recording Studio Factory Underground Launches New Website

Factory Underground Owner, producer, recording engineer, composer of music for film, Kenny Cash has launched a new website featuring his latest work.  www.KennyCash.com

Kenny Cash of the Factory Underground Studio is a versatile and artistic producer-musician. Leading the way in Hip Hop, Electronica, Alternative, Rock, Soul, Pop, and Classical--there is little ground left unbroken by Kenny Cash. Very few producers can boast of Cash’s multitalented reputation: he is known as a beat master in the Hip Hop world, a remix extraordinaire in the EDM genre, and even had a Billboard charting classical album in the same year that his rock-EDM remix was being considered as the theme song by the U.S. Olympic team.

It should come as no surprise that Kenny Cash was granted a scholarship to the world-famed Berklee College of Music, where he mastered the electric bass, acoustic and electric guitar, and learned to play the drums, keyboards, and clarinet. Also no surprise--that his advanced studio skills are purely self-taught.

In 2009, Cash opened the Factory Underground Studio in Norwalk, CT, alongside business partner Ethan Isaac. “The Factory,” a state of the art recording facility, is where Kenny Cash was finally able to center his artistry. The Factory's cool New York vibe, professionalism, and talent pool quickly began to draw in artists from all over the Northeast and beyond. And through all of this, Cash’s own creative output has thrived.

Most recently, Cash has had the pleasure of engineering and mixing for guitar legend Martin Barre (Jethro Tull), Anuhea, Poppa Chubby, and Davina and the Vagabonds.
