I got the opportunity to provide the bass line for “Thanks for the Memories”, the debut song from the new pop duo @taystimusic. I am really proud to be a part of this project, having a blast in the studio and getting to working with so many talented people. Make sure to take a listen on @spotify, @applemusic, @amazonmusic, and pretty much any other major music platform.
All kinds of cool new content coming from @WereNoGentlemen in the coming weeks. Check us out on the YouTube, Spotify, and the socials.
Probably not a good idea to just leave this photo here and let your imagination run with it. 🤐
This is a bts photo from the latest @werenogentlemen music video shoot. I had an absolute blast playing this character and we can’t wait to release this video for our version of “Viscious Love” coming out next month from Pacific Ridge records.
This photo got me thinking about CDs and physical media in general.
– I have some rare(ish) CDs that you just can’t find online. For example, :[dos]:, the album by Altered State, an amazing band from right here in Huntington Beach.
– Vinyl is making a serious comeback, not just for nostalgia or the audio characteristics, but as a tangible memento that acknowledges the artist’s achievement — the artwork, the liner notes, and all that cool stuff.
Anyone else have any interesting physical media laying around that you’ve kept around because they are rare or the artist’s catalog isn’t available for streaming?
Anyone getting back into vinyl, especially for new releases?
