Oil Can Boyd Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Gary Smith - producer and manager of a ton of bands I love - died the other day. He ran Fort Apache Studios in Boston, and produced Pixies, Throwing Muses, Tanya Donelly, the Feelies, Blake Babies, The Connells, Juliana Hatfield, Scrawl, 10,000 Maniacs/Natalie Merchant, and Billy Bragg. A lot of great stuff was produced at Fort Apache including Uncle Tupelo's No Depression, Radiohead, Weezer, Dinosaur Jr, Buffalo Tom, Superchunk, and Yo La Tengo. Sad day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Billy Bragg (who co-owned Fort Apache at one point) wrote a nice piece on Facebook and also noted "The Mermaid Avenue tracks that just feature Natalie Merchant and myself were recorded under Gary's supervision at the Fort." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
