Tullycraft
IQ’s Kip Beelman has just been released from a three day lockdown at Soundhouse Recording, locale of many an IQ drum session (Ben FM, The Wireless Group, New 92 and JR FM to name a few) and his former place of employment before he was snatched away by Michael and Steve to be successfully reprogrammed into a re-sing mixing machine.
On occasion a subtle twitch starts to develop deep inside that he needs to scratch like an incessant itch… Kip has once again put aside his cushy banker’s hours with weekends off to sink his teeth into the reality of 14 hour days producing and mixing records for bands. What the F was he thinking?!
While Kip is not exactly the world’s biggest proponent of Twee Pop, he is the utmost professional and did a great job honing in on just the right amount of twee and ensuring that everything was sonically up to snuff. You jingle aficionados will love to know that besides Twee, Tullycraft falls within a genre that gets classified as Anorak Rock.
Kip says the long days are easier to bear when working with Tullycraft’s Sean Tollefson and Chris Munford… Two of the nicest guys in the world. In addition to picking up the tab for three lunches worth of authentic Mexican tacos from Malena’s, the boys also hooked up Kip on a steady dinner diet of Pho? from Vietnam Restaurant across the street from the studio. What could be better? How about a steady stream of Milk Duds, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Filepile, Flickr and YouTube to keep the good times rolling.

Leave the “Twee” at the door when it’s jingle mixing time!
