About me:

LEGAL: Ben McLane McLane & Wong


I've been working non-stop for 15 years to change the way the South Texas Music scene rocks. seriously. The player above contains samples of my recent work, all recorded at my studio, with me producing and engineering.

ALL BANDS READ THIS OR PERISH:
I'm not on some new quest to have 260,000 band friends. The truth is, I hate listening to more than 2/3 of the crap I get here on myspace. I make records. I like to listen to bands that think they might want to make a record or some singles with me. So here's the drill. You want me to listen? You better make that add come with a personalized message that indicates you actually looked at my page longer than the time it takes for the "add friend" part to load. Bots suck. Now follow the rules or you will be seriously DENIED.



I just directed a sweet music video for my friend Rich O'Toole. It was our first time using the RED ONE camera.

This is a HD stream, so it helps to have a fast computer. If it stutters too much, it may be other stuff on this page;
click RIGHT HERE to view it instead. It is awesome. Find out more about the record below.

I'm also involved in the production of an independent web-based reality TV show I'm developing for episodic television with my good friend Patrick Owen.
UNDERGRAD RECORDS • THE TV SHOW
CURRENT EPISODE 3 NEW!!!!




I'm currently producing an indiepop-rock band called So Sweet the Hour with my longtime studio pal Bryan Williams. I've just posted the first song from those sessions here. Big things are happening, add these kids by going to their MYSPACE HERE


David Fenley was my first project at my new studio, Hollywood. Check out his myspace HERE. His voice is as big as a house and he writes songs that will rattle your bones. Check out "Pocket Full of Dirt" on my player here. His record should be released shortly and will blow you away.

Nate Davenport is another amazing songwriter that just finished up his full length with me. Two of the tunes are on my player, check it out. His album is pending release shortly:

Check out his MYSPACE and show him some love. His record is huge. We mastered it in May with Steve Fallone at Sterling Sound. Stay tuned for details.



Like A Movie is an awesome indie rock band from Altoona, PA. We cut the first half of their record in February, and they'll be back this winter to finish their first full length with me. This record is going to blow us all up HUGE! The first single "Crashed" was mixed by David Bendeth (Paramore, Red Jumpsuit, Underoath). This record is going to be a big deal for the band, the label, and my production team.
Like A Movie


Montauk is an amazing atmospheric rock band made up of a bunch of my very dear friends. We locked out the studio in June and made an amazing record that will open your eyes. Check my blog for more info. The release is TBA... we just mastered the record this week

Rich O'Toole is a very good friend of mine. The last record we made 2 years ago has racked up an impressive FOUR top ten radio singles with a combined 60 weeks in the top 40. The new record came out October 16th on Smith Music Group's label. The record debuted at #3 on the Billboard regional heatseeker chart. The new radio single "In a Minute or 2" is currently #2 on Texas radio. Check it out on my player.

I use myspace to meet new friends, musicians, models, photographers and other people like myself regionally.

I'm a recording studio geek. I produce music in almost every genre, and have spent over 40K+ hours in a commercial recording studio in the past 16 years. Charted Songs, 5 Grammy Nominations (no wins yet), Superstar clients...blah, blah. I work 60-70 hrs a week....
I'd like to think that I've been making great sounding records for years,however the past couple of years I've been focusing on records that sound AND feel great. Check my work and you'll see what I mean. I refuse to stick to one genre...it keeps everything fresh for me and my clients. Between the 2005-2008 album season I did releases in Mainstream rock, Adult Contemporary, Indie Rock, Screamo, Emo, Country, Texas Music, Rap, Tejano, Gospel, and Christian. One of them even got nominated for a Grammy. In many cases, these are national releases....go to best buy and get them.
I'm not so expensive that you can't afford me, if your music has something to offer. I am too expensive if you're an idiot. I'd rather make mediocre money making great records than the other way around. That being said, I get a lot of requests from bands that want to make a full length record for a couple thousand......this is definitely not my deal. Every record is different, but think low 5 figures before you start making any plans. I have a substantial gear investment of over $100,000, and the new toys I'm buying are very expensive.

In the time I'm not in the studio, I take very nice pictures and work with agencies and publications to get my creative visual work published. My photos have been showcased in national ad campaigns, magazines, on television and the web. I've also directed and produced some phenomenal music videos. Networking with new people is always welcome. Happily married to a supermodel wife, with a perfect 4 year old son. I owned a commercial audio recording facility, Rhapsody Street Studios, which I helped build from the ground up. I currently am working in a new private facility I designed in 2003, Hollywood Studios. I am no longer open to the public and work strictly by referral only.

I have my own very old website at www.mackdamon.com

You can find me on AIM @ mackdamonibook on my laptop (always with me)
I have a LJ, but these days it's 'friends only' if you want the info, message me.

Of course I'm on facebook... Mack Damon. I post most of my pics there:
