THE STORY

HOW IT BEGAN - WHERE ITS HEADED

FIRST SONGS & LIVE SHOWS

SHORTLY AFTER FORMING, THE 3 CANBERRA LADS PUT THEIR HEADS DOWN AND WORKED HARD & MADE 45 MIN SETLIST. THEY THEN GOT PLAYING THE LOCAL VENUES SUCH AS:

TRANSIT BAR | THE BASEMENT | MAGPIES CLUB. 

AFTER PERFECTING A FEW SONGS, SPEAKING WITH A GOOD FRIEND AND FAN OF THE BAND ANDREW MOORE, HUSKY STRUTTERS ENDED UP RECORDING SOME SONGS LIVE AT THE JAM STUDIOS IN BELCO (BLACKSUN REHEARSAL STUDIOS).

 

LATER THAT YEAR  THE GROUP ENDED UP GOING DOWN TO RECORD WITH MR MOORE IN THE NUMBUGGA AREA IN BEGA, NEW SOUTH WALES. THIS WAS THE BEGINING OF  RECORDING IN THEIR FIRST PROFESSIONAL RECORDING STUDIO SESSIONS.

 

BUILDING (MINI) VALLEY SOUND STUDIOS (THE FIRST STUDIO BUILD)

WITH A HEAVY ADDICTION TO ROBBO'S AMAZING DRUMMING AND THE AMOUNT THE BAND NEEDED TO JAM, THE BAND SERIOUSLY NEEDED TO FIND A SPACE ALL OF THEIR OWN.

 

IN 2013 DANNY WAS WORKING IN THE HIGH-END CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AS A GLAZIER AND WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACCESS MATERIALS TO BUILD A HUSKY STRUTTERS  STUDIO INSIDE DANNY'S PARENT'S SHED (WHERE THEY LEARNT THAT ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS IS BETTER THAN ASKING FOR PERMISSION... IT WORKED A TREAT).

NOW HUSKY STRUTTERS COULD WORK AT A HIGHER VELOCITY AS MUCH AS THEY WANTED, WHICH MEANT THE LEVEL OF SONG-MAKING JUMPED THROUGH THE ROOF.

STUDY & RESEARCH OF SOUND PRODUCTION/ENGINEERING

HUSKY STRUTTERS  GOT TO A POINT THOUGH WHERE THEY KNEW THEIR NEXT STEP WAS MORE RECORDINGS AND BOTH ROBBO & DANNY JUMPED INTO THE WORLD OF SOUND ENGINEERING AND METHODS OF PRODUCTION TO DEVELOP THE HUSKY STRUTTERS SOUND FURTHER.

 

AFTER THE FIRST STUDIO SESSION THEY WERE HOOKED! DANNY THEN WENT DEEP INTO RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, VIDEOS AND BLOGS ETC.  BOTH ROBBO AND DANNY ENROLLED INTO TAFE (CIT) FOR SOUND ENGINEERING. DANNY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LAUNCH HIS VERY OWN CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS SO HE DROPPED OUT OF THE COURSE AFTER HE PASSED THE MUSIC THEORY BLOCK. WHEREAS ROBBO CONTINUED ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND ENDED UP WITH A HIGH DISTINCTION IN SOUND ENGINEERING.

 

BUILDING VALLEY SOUND STUDIOS

WHILE DANNY LAUNCHED HIS CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS HE REALISED HE NEEDED MORE SPACE TO CONDUCT HIS WORK AND PUT THE WORD OUT INTO THE CANBERRA SCENE. 

 

WITHIN 10 MINUTES L.FOX (OWNER OF BLACKSUN REHEARSALS) ASKED HIM TO COME CHECK OUT THE EXTRA SPACE HE HAD IN BELCONNEN.

THE CONVERSATION WENT FROM RENTING THE SPACE TO BUYING THE BUSINESS WITHIN 5 MINUTES, AND JUST LIKE THAT DANNY SET UP A CONTRACT TO BUY OUT THE BUSINESS.

 

SINCE TAKING OVER, DANNY HAS BUILT A MASSIVE CREATIVE HUB OF CANBERRA IN PLACE OF THE OLD BLACKSUN REHEARSAL STUDIOS, NOW NAMED VALLEY SOUND STUDIOS. 

THROUGH INNOVATIVE DESIGN AND A FOCUS ON QUALITY, VALLEY SOUND STUDIOS IS THE HOME TO MULTIPLE JAM ROOMS AND A STATE OF THE ART MUSIC STUDIO FOR HIGH END MUSIC PRODUCTION AND RECORDING. 

VALLEY SOUND STUDIOS IS WHERE THE HUSKY STRUTTERS CALL HOME. 

 

THE FUTURE

ON 23RD SEPTEMBER 2022, HUSKY STRUTTERS RELEASED THEIR REMASTERED SMASH SINGLE, 'SHOOK', AND QUICKLY HIT OVER 6,000 STREAMS ON SPOTIFY!

 

THE FILM CLIP FOLLOWED SHORTLY AFTER, ALLOWING FANS A GLIMPSE INTO THE PAST HARD WORK THE BOYS HAD PUT IN TO THEIR RECORDING DREAMS.

 

MORE SINGLES ARE TO COME FROM THEIR EP 'NO CLICKS' IN 2022.
