Jimmy Two Hands Live at Caffeinated Recordings

Nothing could be finer than having your one of your good friends play music for even more friends by the fire. This is what went down on a beautiful August Saturday night in Chicago when Jimmy Two Hands regaled us with songs about drinking, getting into trouble, and douche-y landlords on his banjo and his bucket. The session, which was streamed live over the internet, was lovingly mastered by Mr. Matt Engstrom, and filmed by Mr. Thomas Banks.

Bone and Bell Live at Caffeinated Recordings

Once we decided that we were going to have bands perform in the garden at our annual summer bash, our first thoughts went to Bone and Bell. Heather’s incredible voice and baritone ukulele danced off of the flowers and fruit of the garden as they sparkled in the glow of the party lights. The session, which was streamed live over the internet, was lovingly mastered by Mr. Matt Engstrom, and filmed by Mr. Thomas Banks.

Small Awesome Live at Caffeinated Recordings

Negotiations were long and hard, but we managed to secure the incredible Small Awesome to be the first act to perform music live in the gardens of Caffeinated Recordings. Poised under the stars, and between the sunflowers and tiki torches, Small Awesome’s Faiz Razi and Jim MacGregor with some terribly beautiful music. The session, which was streamed live over the internet, was lovingly mastered by Mr. Matt Engstrom, and filmed by Mr. Thomas Banks.

Nonagon Live at Caffeinated Recordings

Yes, that’s right, the infamous Chicago based band Nonagon performed live as the headliner to our annual summer extranvaganza, playing live in our studio. The session, which was streamed live over the internet, was lovingly recorded by Mr. Matt Engstrom, and filmed by Mr. Thomas Banks.

A Caffeinated Compilation

A series of recordings of friends from the city of Chicago in the year 2010. It is quite an eclectic collection of music, though we are quite an eclectic group of friends.

We handmade a limited number of physical copies of this compilation that were given away at the PRF BBQ Winter Cauldron Series 2011 February 5th, 2011 at the Metropolis Coffee Roasting Garage in Chicago. Yes, Chris Hall got the single misprint. Videos of this event exist in the PRF Cauldron 2011 Category.

You can download the compilation for free at https://caffeinatedrecordings.bandcamp.com/.
