The Dimes Break Through with Producer Steve Christensen at SugarHill


(HOUSTON, TEXAS) - August 17th, 2006 - SugarHill\'s Senior Staff
Engineer Steve Christensen recently completed tracking, mixing and producing
6 songs for popular Houston indie/rock band The Dimes.
Well known for his
mixing skills, Steve Christensen has an impressive repertoire including
Destiny\'s Child, Beyonce, Cash Money Records, Music World/Sanctuary Urban
Records, Ann Margaret, Southern Backtones, Arthur Yoria, Tody Castillo, John
Evans and Houston Grand Opera.
The Dimes were tracked to 2 tape
at SugarHill\'s Studio A and mixed in Protools through a Neotek Elite console in the
same studio.

Heavily influenced by The Pixies, The Beatles, Arcade Fire and
The Velvet Underground; The Dimes have created a formidable fan base by
playing at Houston venues such as Super Happy Fun Land, and opening for
SOUNDteam, Tapes n Tapes and The Deathray Davies.

They were
also anointed MP3 Of The Month in December 2005 on college radio station
Music For Listeners (Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas). The
Dimes have also been a favorite on Houston Pacifica\'s KPFT 90.1FMs
RadioACTIVE indie rock show with DJ Rhonda Garner.

Christensen opted
for a raw production: \"Almost all of the songs were built on takes done during
our sound check. We didnt edit the drums, and we didnt tune the vocals. The bands
greatest strength is their unrefined energy. With most bands, that would be an
apology, but the Dimes are truly gifted in their ability to turn sophisticated
songwriting into a furiously huge sound.\"

The Dimes completed
tracking and mixing with Steve Christensen in the period of 3 weeks during
the month of July 2006 and have just released the self-titled EP on August 8th of
this year. We had a great time recording at SugarHill mentioned guitarist
Cley Miller \"Steve was awesome to work with and the vibe at SugarHill is
great. We were very happy with our recordings and would love to go back and do it
again.\"

Catch The Dimes next show opening for The French
Kicks on September 22nd at Walters on Washington in Houston, TX.
