History:
According to Beavan management, “Sean
takes pop to the dark side: his production credits include some
of the nastiest and sexiest sonics ever recorded - nevermind his
mixes. His sharp intuition, studio ingenuity, and twisted creative
approach inspires an artist's best work - and pushes them beyond
to career-defining recordings. The faint of heart need not apply”.

Mixes/ReMixes: Slayer, Depeche
Mode, Foetus, Kidney Thieves….Sean just mixed some live tracks
for SYSTEM OF A DOWN for the forthcoming Immortal/Columbia Pledge
Of Allegiance LP, and is currently mixing the MANMADE GOD album
for Rick Rubin and Dino Paredes of American Recordings, which has
some of the coolest guitar sounds we've heard in a long time. After
that, he's going to flex his pop muscles and mix ANNA MARIA LA SPINA's
(ex-SAVAGE GARDEN) album for Sony Australia. Then back to American
Recordings, where he'll mix the ultra-cred, Rick Rubin produced
PALO ALTO. In the meantime, keep your ears peeled for the Beavan
produced, orgasmic and wonderfully poptastic, MOTH album on Virgin
and the forthcoming KIDNEY THIEVES masterpiece that he mixed for
Extasy.
 
2003
highlights include mixes for P.O.D., MANMADE GOD and JERK., ex-Savage
Garden's ANNA MARIA LaSPINA. A fusion of WEEZER with BLINK 182 and
underground hip-hop ala DOS ONE with a splash of EMINEM, the album
is fresh, hooky as f**k and fripping brilliant.

Credits:
8mm
was born out of the collaboration between Beavan and his wife Juliette.
After releasing their debut album Songs to Love and Die By, receiving
rave reviews and editorial placements, the band embarked on select
West Coast dates with Sean Lennon. The audiences fell in love with
the band’s enigmatic sound as they won over every crowd they encountered.
The successful WB show One Tree Hill not only featured the band’s
music, but named their episode “Songs to Love and Die By” after
the 8MM album. As soon as the show aired, 8MM’s Myspace spiked to
over 20,000 plays and began receiving 100 friend requests per hour.
8MM was the
featured track on Grey’s Anatomy on Feb 8th, exposing the band
to over 25 million viewers. WB’s hit TV show One Tree Hill
used two 8MM songs, even naming one of the episodes after the album
title. 8mm is also the featured download on Road Rules and have
been named one of the Top Bands You Need To Know for 2007 in Alternative
Press. The new video on YouTube
shot and edited by frontwoman, Juliette, on her Samsung A900 and
iMovie respectively, reflects the intimate essence of the couple
that has become the band.
Sean
Beavan helped forge the sound of Nine Iinch Nails from studio
to the stage. As NIN's Trent Reznor longtime engineer, co -producer,
and musical director, Sean and Trent set about building a studio
in an old abandoned funeral home in the heart of uptown New Orleans.
During this time, Sean being a mortal man, succumbed to the whimsy
and sway of a southern girl and met his muse in Juliette. After
finishing mixing Marilyn Manson's epic "Antichrist Superstar",
Sean left the NIN camp and followed up with Manson's "Mechanical
Animals" During production of which Sean and Juliette moved
to Los Angeles. The two decided to become 8mm, a name that reflected
the tone of their songs and evoke the imagery of projector whirring
in a clandestine back room called to mind innermost secrets and
forbidden desires. Treat your ears to the upcoming March shows --
