‘Loop de Loop’ Clip
On a sleep-deprived high and surrounded by the glory of Nimbin and Byron Bay, Bec and her suite undertook the joyous task of shooting a film clip to ‘Loop de Loop’. The track was also recorded at 301 Studios Byron Bay by Anthony Lycenko (Pete Murray) and is track two of the Debut EP ‘At First Sight’. It features Willy Manukia (far left) from the Spacifix, award winning funk/soul/reggae band from New Zealand. Tau Manukia (front centre) and Imraan Paleker (mid centre) also from the band also featured in producing and playing guitar (respectively).

At First Sight …
Bec Laughton’s debut EP ‘At First Sight’ was recorded at 301 Studios Byron Bay with producer/engineer Anthony Lycenko (Pete Murray) then sent off to Tom Coyne (Maxwell) at Sterling Sound in New York for mastering. It features two Q Song recognised tracks, “Holy Love” and “Sensation”. The incredible 1950′s pop art was penned by mastermind and set designer Josh Macintosh. The recording features Bec’s too hot-to-trot 10-piece suite, some of Australia’s finest. Selling like hot cakes the CD sold out even before the ‘At First Sight’ National Tour! With more in the making you can always grab a copy from CD Baby or on iTunes.
