The Bumble Hawk Studio Sessions
“Bird Hospitals & The Bumble Hawks” by Donnie Bugden is a sonic journey that effortlessly blends the raw energy of indie rock with the soulful depth of blues. Recorded in a cozy, eclectic studio in the heart of Brooklyn, this album is a testament to a unique time when music and creativity flowed freely among friends and artists.
Back in those days, I was working as a game server developer for Playmatics by day and running a recording studio by night. The studio became a vibrant hub where musicians, performing artists, and friends would gather to hang out, share stories, and most importantly, create original music. The walls of the studio echoed with laughter, collaboration, and the sound of guitars, drums, and voices coming together in spontaneous jam sessions.
“Bird Hospitals & The Bumble Hawks” captures the spirit of that time—each track a snapshot of late-night creativity, where indie rock met blues, and where every riff and lyric was born out of pure, unfiltered passion. The album is more than just a collection of songs; it’s a piece of Brooklyn’s underground music scene, brought to life by the talented Donnie Bugden and the artists who passed through those studio doors.
Whether you’re a fan of gritty guitar riffs, heartfelt blues, or just appreciate music with a story behind it, this album is a must-listen. It’s a record that takes you back to a time when music was made for the love of it, in a place where creativity knew no bounds.
