Tall Tales and the Silver Lining - Springles

I had the pleasure of producing the always magnificent Tall Tales and the Silver Lining for the final installment of their single's series. "Springles" was recorded at Arabian Nights with minimal equipment and maximum positivity. We had a lot of fun shooting the BB Gun and eating burritos in-between takes. Cover art by Kyle Field. Mixed and "Mastered" at Abbey Road West with Joel Jerome. Enjoy!

Massenger

Check out Massenger, a new project featuring myself and some mates. Rock-N-Roll will never die.

500 Crowns ft Swede Pettersen

   500 Crowns ft. Swede Pettersen by Seth Pettersen

       It was five years ago, while wandering the streets of Stockholm I was taken for 500 Krona ($75 USD) by some con-men playing the infamous "shell game". A real rookie move on my part. I went back to the hostel, deflated: "Dad I got some bad news". He just shrugged and said "If you can write a song about it, you may get you money's worth." We penned "500 Crowns" that night and couldn't get it out of our heads for the rest of the trip.

      A month ago I went to visit my Dad in AZ, and I brought my recording stuff with me. We laid down "500 Crowns" with some primitive gear while the sun was setting into the desert. At 72 years old here is "Swede" Pettersen making his singing debut.

Is it worth $75? 

And then some.

UnHoly

If you are in the Santa Barbara area next week, check out this art opening for my good bud Sean Tully. I will be there getting extra weird on my guitar and microphone. This will be good time for sure.

Wheelbase Party

It was an honor to perform at the Wheelbase Magazine Anniversary Party in Costa Mesa, CA. Playing music on a skate ramp just feels right, and kegs full of IPA are always a plus. Seeing dudes and ladies shred to "Skate Away" makes sense. The real highlight was when Tim (Pedal Steel) caught a flying stray skateboard during the middle of "Castle". We kept on playing. Cat-like reflexes I tell ya'. See you in Echo Park.
