I have worked with Muckspreader
Productions on three Undergroove-related projects and have no complaints. The budgets have all been reasonable, the attention
to detail and delivery have all been excellent and I would be more than happy to use the production team again.

I recently had the
pleasure of working with Muckspreader Productions when they did a shoot for one of the bands I manage.
Australian rockers 'Airbourne' did a five
camera shoot & a multi track recording of two headline shows at the Astoria in London in Nov of 2008.
The Muckspreader Productions team were amazing.
They were 100% professional & really came up with the goods.
When we sat down to watch the vision that was captured we were over the moon....this is one happy
client!
If you are
after amazing vision & fantastic multi track recordings you cant go past Muckspreader Productions.

Mike and co. were
extremely easy to work with and very accommodating when I had the opportunity to work with them via ISIS and Hydra Head Records.
We are a picky bunch and are hard to please (as Mike can probably attest to), but in the end the materials generated by our
work together came together nicely. Working with someone who has a clear vision of their own but also understands the aesthetic
of their subject is a rare thing indeed, but Muckspreader have accomplished this feat with apparent ease and successful results.

In winter of 2005,
Pelican set about taking on a project that would have us tread new water ... the recording of a live performance for public
consumption. Sure, we'd gotten plenty of hand-held camera type stuff with modest sound before, and it was nice to view
these as a band to gauge our shows. But something felt special about wrapping up a long bout of touring for our second album
with a specially shot show in London. So with Justin Broadrick at the helm for sound and Michael Ward and Muckspreader for
video, we set about capturing the night. To say we were beyond satisfied with how it turned out would be an understatement
... pleasant shock and aw is more fitting. The quality of the footage, the angles, the motion, all led us to believe that
they truly listened to our music and really cared about the results.
We were very satisfied. I hope we work again in the future.

Airbourne - London Astoria back to back shows November 27th
/ 28th 2008:
With the legendary Astoria very much in the run up to its closure we
decided filming the band would
be a opportunity that could not be
missed.
Mike and the Muckspreader team were the first people I though of
calling as I was already aware of their friendly and professional way
of working.
To do back to back shows in
such a way would provide plenty of
footage, especially with this wonderful old West End theatre as it's
back
drop.
The team worked quickly, efficiently and meticulously, giving the
band and I complete peace of mind from
the word go.
These results are excellent and the price more than competitive.
I would not hesitate to recommend
to anyone, Muckspreader Productions
for concert filming.
