This week we’re getting the word out for a great swing band: VOTE for our friends “Beantown Swing” if you get the chance…they are a great band that plays locally in the Boston area but has also been featured in film, and played all over. Their progress can be monitored on the Facebook Beantown Swing Page, they need our votes, and deserve them too! Good luck guys!

Now without further ado…
It’s official! We’ve entered a new decade, and Wallpusher has many hopes for the musical innovations we’ve been working on since the LAST decade, and intends to share them this year in 2010.
I guess you could call that a resolution, right? To share our innovations with as many as possible, online and in person? There are just too many people out there who have been facing the same frustrations we’ve been facing when it comes to playing the electric bass and the electric guitar; let’s all get together and do something about it!!
Have you ever been on stage, or even just playing alone in your room and realize that your instrument is holding you back? That its shape is not right for what you’re trying to do? Of course! There is a certain point for every musician where you just hit a wall because your hands are doing the right things, and tripping over the controls, or the shape of the body, or the neck. Even worse, there isn’t any guitar or bass YOU CAN BUY that will solve your problem. It just doesn’t exist.
When we got to this point, we said, That’s enough, we played and tinkered and invented and dreamed and built and tested and perfected, and FINALLY found solutions to our problems, and we’ve been making basses and guitars ever since. We are resolving for 2010 to get these solutions out there, because we all need solutions, we all need community and an open forum where we can find the tools to help us play the best we can.
What are your music resolutions for 2010? Are they technical playing goals or general networking and performing goals? We’d love to hear about them, here on the blog or emailed to info@wallpusher.com

This video sets up a very unique and wonderful model of business– the model that accepts that each person is different, that everyone has their own personal likes, dislikes and preferences, and that the products available for us to use, buy, eat, play, have or keep, should reflect that diversity. Wallpusher guitars were first conceived with the aesthetic desires of one player, and then applied to many many different players who wanted instruments that would be unique to them. Just like clothes don’t fit us perfectly unless custom made, so our instruments– our tools for music, should fit us.
Enjoy this great video of Malcolm Gladwell On Spagetti Sauce, found at http://www.ted.com/talks

New Guitars in the works!!!
We’re developing a video post that will detail the steps
that we take to make our handmade guitars from recycled wood.
Here is one critical step: designing the laminates before we
glue them together so that hard and soft woods will be integrated together to produce the durability and sound quality that you need in a real quality bass.

Offering prototype tables for everyday use, storage and teaching options. Event better than art to hangs on the wall is an art surface that can be used daily—a great way to maximize your space efficiency and give your house, studio, classroom character.
Of course we use ours for surfaces from rendering art materials, to installing electronics in our guitars, to sewing guitar straps! The best products are really those that someone decided to make because they didn’t exist…and these tables are exactly that! If you don’t have any space on the wall, or move a 
lot, these light, beautiful tables are really just what you need to 
be more efficient and productive.
We have been making furniture, guitars and other artwork for 18 years. Don’t spend any more time wishing your house, classroom, or other spaces were more space efficient, order an AFFORDABLE table from us! Made intentionally with attention to ergonomics and space efficiency. We have designed several tables with different artistic sensibilities, and can create one customized to a design you give us. Or we can make them to fit int
o any color scheme. These tables are going fast, and the price will not be low for long! Please contact us at info@wallpusher.com

We had a great time at Soulfest 2009. Thanks to all the amazing people
that made the festival possible, and invited us to me there.
We were so pleased to experience the creativity of many artists,
and loved sharing our basses and guitars with people at the festival
and we’re looking forward to seeing many of you again at the upcoming
music nights hosted by Wallpusher.
Thanks Soulfest, and we can’t wait
for 2010!
