Believe it or not, this is me 100% sober 🤘🤪 I’m not sure if I was just in a very celebratory mood or just doing a Hellboy impression, but either way, Merry New Year!

There’s a lot of SoCal music history in the tape storage room at For The Record studios.
There’s a lot of SoCal music history in the tape storage room at For The Record studios. I’ve recorded with several projects here, but during the last @werenogentlemen recording sessions, I took a little time to browse in awe at all the amazing artists that rocked these halls, including:
Vandals, Death By Stereo, Thrice, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Kottonmouth Kings, Cadillac Tramps, Atreyu, Jimmy Eat World, Earl Thomas, Bad Brains, Meat Puppets, No Doubt, Save Ferris, and many, many more. It was humbling yet inspiring to be in such good company. 🤘😎
Sunday Funday!
Sunday Funday! Rounding out the holiday weekend SoCal-style with a surf session at my home break. A bit cold, but some good corners to catch if you’re patient.
😁🤙
Much thanks to @red_hareimages for capturing the @werenogentlemen shenanigans at soundcheck before one of our performances on @takeover.

To make things a little more challenging, I did this version on my fretless 5-string bass.
