Roundhead Studios

Roundhead Studios

Roundhead Studios is an Auckland-based sound recording studio owned by singer-songwriter Neil Finn. It was officially opened in June 2007, however by the time of its opening, several international artists had already used it whilst the studio was either in construction or receiving finishing touches.

Artists who have used the facility includes Finn's son Liam Finn, US rapper Kanye West, and a range of New Zealand based artists, including Eddie Rayner, Goldenhorse. Though Finn owns the studio, he had yet to use it himself until 13 July, 2007, at which time Finn brought his band Crowded House in and performed a set of songs live to New Zealand radio.Neil Finn, [13 July 2007 Radio New Zealand] interview with Neil Finn, recorded 13 July, 2007.

The studios feature a Neve console which was originally built for The Who. This console was previous located at Bearsville Studios in upstate New York. The studio comprises both vintage analogue equipment and modern digital recording equipment. [ [http://www.roundheadstudios.com/studios.htm Roundhead Studios] , retrieved 21 August, 2007.]
