Interviews

Brendan Hoffman

BY Larry Crane

We found Brendan doing sound for the Chills on tour. When he got a look at Tape Op, he wanted to sit in on the interview--and when Martin got called out to autograph a female fan's shirt, "Well, she can't take it off for you to sign", we chatted with Brendan for a moment.

So what's your background, what brings you here?

I used to run Volt studios in Dunedin and I used to run IMD [Records]. I started off with King Loser and Trash and eventually it evolved into a studio and a label, which as you know, is now defunct. In the course of running Volt I started working with Martin doing demos for the new album, plus his track on Disturbed [a compilation album on IMD]. He was working with lots of various people there, which was cool, and he was still into working with me.

Apparently. So you recorded with King Loser?
