Goshen, Indiana's La República is a trio of Colombian musicians with a passion for 60's rock and roll. They came by the Second Kitchen and recorded a memorable session filled with loud guitars, Beatles-inspired lyrics, and a vintage sound. Their latest album, Aqui Estamos (Here We Are) is currently available to stream on Spotify. Look out for these guys as they plan to move to Mexico City, the mecca of latin rock, in the coming year!
We were thrilled to host Bloomington singer-songwriter Gloria Bangiola a few weeks back for not only our first session of 2014 but also our first session in a new kitchen. We will be using this space for smaller, one- or two-piece acoustic acts, and an additional space for larger and louder groups.
Gloria released her first full-length album in January of 2013, called Past the Willow and the Well. She is currently working on her second album, which is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2014. Her music is folky and beautiful, and features finger-picking guitar styles and accompanying voice.
We are very pleased with how everything turned out, and hope you enjoy her session. Here she is performing "A Case of You" by Joni Mitchell. Head over to her session page to view the rest of her performance.
The boys of Dirt Holler visited us for our last recording in the original second kitchen over the summer. It was a session of finalities, as it was one of their last performances as well. These guys always know how to have a good time and we had a blast hanging out and filming with them.
Their entire catalog is currently free to stream and download, so be sure to check that out if you enjoy their session!
Here is their song, "Red Dress Pt. II", be sure to check out the rest of their tracks over on the Sessions page.
One of the last sessions recorded in the original Second Kitchen was with these talented garage rockers from St. Louis. The Brainstems are a reckless four-piece whose twangy guitars, upbeat rhythms, and gritty vocals remind us of our garage and punk rock favorites from the 60s.
We had our first Reactor Core session today with La República, a fantastic Latin Rock band from South Bend, IN. Be on the lookout for their session and some live shows in the Bloomington area!
Our first session of 2014 was this past Sunday with the talented Gloria Bangiola. Gloria is a folk singer-songwriter based out of Bloomington, IN. She is currently working on her second full-length album which is scheduled to be released in the Fall of 2014.
We'll be releasing the full session (in a new setting) in a few short weeks!
Here's a sneak peak at our new studio space. We have a few more alterations to make, but be on the look out for some sessions filmed here. Maybe some live shows? ;)
We are very happy to present the Second Kitchen Studio Special, a live in-studio concert event recorded at Primary Sound Studios here in Bloomington. This is a unique release for us, and was definitely a fun and exciting learning experience for all involved. We are thankful for all the people who put so much time and effort into making this possible! And, of course, all the bands for performing so well!
Enjoy!
Santa's coming early this year! Look out for the release of our Christmas Special Extravaganza video next Wednesday, December 18th!
Our session with Peter Oren, A.K.A. Swales, is now live! This is the first of 3 songs he performed for us over this past summer.
Peter is a former IU student who's since moved on to much more exciting things, taking on songwriting as a full-time endeavor. His career as a solo artist has evolved throughout the years and now takes on a very important role in his life. Says Peter:
Songwriting has always been a creative outlet that helps me understand myself and the world around me. Only over the past year have my aspirations grown, like a chin lifting from the path and my feet to the horizon beyond, and I find myself more interested in building sounds to support the lyrical content, which has been most of my focus.
A month ago I returned to Bloomington from three months on the west coast. I wrote new tunes on the road, and already I'm about ready to move on from the songs we recorded in the second kitchen this summer. I'm anticipating Swales's first studio recordings to take shape in early 2014.
Thanks to our friend Peter stopping by and sharing his time with us in the kitchen! We are very excited to see his career in music progress in the coming years.
We were featured on Project Jumpstart's web blog, an IU Jacobs School of Music program that showcases music entrepreneurs and news in the world of music. Check it out!

Tomorrow we will be recording four talented Bloomington groups at Primary Sound Studios! (formerly Farm Fresh Studios) Triptides, the Wailin' Smithers, Plateau Below, and Chud will join us tomorrow and grace our humble ears with their rockin' tunes.
Here are some (low-quality) photos from today's setup. We will be tracking to owner Jake Belser's beautiful Studer 2" tape machine and filming with five cameras. We plan to release the entire video later in December. In early January, we will be releasing individual music videos for each band.
This is the first event of this kind for us and we are very excited about it!
If you are around Bloomington and have some free time, stop by Primary Sound tomorrow around 2pm to be apart of the video and watch the bands perform!
Later in March, our friend Owen Yonce, AKA Bonfire John, came into town to sing us a few songs of his. Also more to come!
The long-awaited Fluffer session. These boys stopped by back in March and shook the second kitchen awake with rock and roll. This is their first song called Heathens. More to come!
Oops... how did I forget this one?! Eric Alexander aka Sir Deja Doog. Check out his session!
