Tickets Extremely Limited for Historic Power Station BerkleeNYC Weekend
Pictured are punk-pop New Jersey band The Nectars who will record tracks for their new EP with the METAlliance founders at Power Station BerkleeNYC.
The Nectars, one of pop music’s most striking and talked about new bands, will record tracks for their new EP, produced by Tony McAnany with METAlliance member Chuck Ainlay. Sessions are during the post-AES weekend “In Session With The Guys,” October 21 & 22 in New York City at famed Power Station BerkleeNYC.
“Producers are always balancing context and identity. So we are going to approach the session like we are under the gun to deliver music to a director who wants a new sound for an upcoming film and to a label president who needs the single ASAP for radio,” remarked producer Tony McAnany. “Real life intensity with a truly special new band.”
Chuck Ainlay added, “We’re thrilled to be working with a great, creative producer like Tony McAnany and this edgy band in session for a Nectars’ hit in the making.”

The Nectars’ Studio C Sessions will define how to record pop singles for a major motion picture while addressing the needs of a record label, and most importantly capturing the unique music and narrative identity of the band. The Nectars’ punk-inflamed guitars, inventive harmonic motion, trashy beats, and raw vocals will lay the foundation for this recording exploration. Driven by their D.I.Y. attitude, the band will create distinctive new sounds influenced by EDM, funk, and scorching live performance, captured by Ainlay’s renown mic technique and METAlliance studio wizardry.
“We’re incredibly excited to work with these legendary producers and engineers. We’re looking forward to not only recording, but also playing our role in supporting this great event as well!” –The Nectars.

Producer Tony McAnany’s innovative ideas and recording skills have earned wins and nominations for multiple the Oscars, Grammys, and Tony, Dove, Emmy, W3, Golden Globe, Billboard Music, Latin Grammy, American Music, and TEC Awards. “There’s nothing like the adrenaline that flows when you are cutting tracks in a serious studio, live, with a band who’s mercilessly dedicated to their music,” commented McAnany.
