A band is more than just a grouping of people that sometimes make awesome music. It’s an entire community made up of supportive friends, family, fans, countless talented individuals… and those people making the sometimes awesome music. We’d like to thank some of those amazing people whose on-going support is truly appreciated:
The Bajzek Group, Inc.…….. for making Shutterdown its exclusive house band every Tuesday and/or Wednesday. And sometimes Saturday.
Chris Maverick Photography ……. for his ninja-like photo wizardry and mercenary on-site camera style. http://www.facebook.com/maverickphoto
Alex DiMarco ……. for walking with Shutterdown through its first music video, Afterimage, from inception to completion. Forwards and backwards. On Twitter @Alex_DiMarco
Craig Kibbe …… for his unique vision and style with Shutterdown’s logo, font, splash page… and Ant’isa’s face.
William Bajzek …… for this putting together this website and for invaluable feedback and bestowing of guitarist wisdom.
Pittsburgh Modular for easing our journey into the scary and expensive world of modular synthesizers.
PROMOTERS:
Afton Booking … The first booking agency we’ve ever worked with. Their support staff brought their A-game and were always available to answer our questions/troubleshoot… and got us on one of the best stages in the ‘burgh for an awesome show.
Jim Semonik and Distortion Productions ….. for consistently putting Shutterdown before some of the finest groups touring the area… and for the constant support, encouragement and rockstar mentoring. And oh, for a “little” thing you all might want to check out called Electronic Saviors 2: A solid compilation of some of the best electronic acts playing today which raises money for charities helping families dealing with cancer.
