Andrew and Mike Nehra Join Kevin Augunas at Former Sound City
Vintage King Audio and the popular video series Pensado’s Place shot a new episode on location at Fairfax Recordings, the former Sound City studio memorialized in Dave Grohl’s recent documentary film. Joining Pensado and co-host Herb Trawick were Vintage King founders Andrew and Mike Nehra with Fairfax founder Kevin Augunas.
“It doesn’t get any better than this,” commented Dave Pensado, host of the series. “This studio was immortalized in the Sound City documentary and essentially these rooms remain unchanged, thanks to the hard work done by Kevin Augunas, a superstar producer and engineer in his own right.”
“It’s an honor to share the studio with Dave’s audience,” added Augunus, “I love their enthusiasm for what we’ve done here at Fairfax.”
“Having Mike and Andrew included in the episode is very special to them,” remarked VK’s Shevy Shovlin. “Their history as recording artists and then recording gear collectors fit in perfectly with the theme of this episode looking at the history of the studio and the legacy of sonic excellence associated with the legendary rooms, the equipment, and a tradition that is so valuable in today’s music world.”
