On our last day at EAR studios this year, the first set of the day was one of the best. Lady Dottie & The Diamonds joined us for a great session and this behind the scenes video gives you a little taste of what they offered up.

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart dropped by EAR studios this week as our first performance on Thursday morning. Despite the early wake up call, the band ripped off a great set for us, starting with this song. Check the video below for some behind the scenes footage.

Did you catch Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears doing their thing on WOXY.com today? Of course, we recorded the whole thing and have video of the whole thing as well. I wanted to get you a taste of things right away though, so I grabbed my Flip cam and took this short video of their first song, “Sugarfoot.”

It’s a busy day here at EAR studios in Austin and we hope you are enjoying the bands that have been rolling through. We thought you might like a little behind the scenes look at things here at the studio today so I shot a quick video…….

Luke Temple has one of the best voices in the indie rock spectrum and has impressed loads of people with his two solo records in the past few years. Never afraid to re-invent himself, Luke decided to change course for his latest project Here We Go Magic by taking his exceptional vocals and layering the album with a wide variety of sounds and adventures. In order to perform the album live, Luke enlisted the help of some other musicians who joined us in the WOXY Lounge for this session.

During this set we get three songs from Luke and his band from the debut Here We Go Magic album, as well as a new song that could land on an upcoming release.
