Hey guys, it's been a few weeks since I have posted but in searching for something new, I decided to write about something fun and interactive that you can be a part of.

Recently Kelly and myself had the pleasure of working with a really talented band called Keeping Secrets from Tacoma, (I recorded their upcoming album, and Kelly did their promotional photos - she did a GREAT job!) and soon after I began managing them because I really believe they have something refreshing to offer not only the music industry in general, but also the…

Put a pair'a pants on it and throw it in a lake!



Long time old friends. I have been a little MIA on here (I can see Kelly rollin' her eyes at me haha) but I wanted to include you all in what I've been up to for the past few months, maybe even year.

Blessed just finished recording the long awaited album, of which I was a majority songwriter, and Im really stoked for you all to hear it.

Among other things I have been recording music here in the Seattle area for bands like Monsters Scare You!, Anchor The Tide, To Paint The Sky, Alabaster, Keeping…

THIS JUST IN: Death Cab for Cutie admits that recording is "hard"

Apparently, Twitter is the new Myspace bulletin. DCfC announced that they're recording and have supplied photos for our enjoyment.



Really, it looks like the guys are recording HARD this time. Let's hope it's less twilight-y. No offense, Death Cab, but that twilight song was the worst I've heard from you EVER.

Long day of work...

So we arrived bright and early in the studio today only to be greeted by the "Seattle Sunshine" (aka rain). Tony was busy putting the finishing touches on the official tour video for our '09 Japan tour with Bring Me The Horizon and Maximum the Hormone (featuring a sweet track we cut... you'll know when you hear it!), while Slady and I began tracking out some ideas. The writing process is coming along smoothly! Rex finished the tracking of his sweet key parts to a little teaser we will be releasing shortly, so keep your eyes peeled! We spoke to…

Blessed in the Studio

So as you may (or may not) have heard, we are all here in Seattle working on songs for our next record... The day after we all flew in, we had the amazing opportunity to share the stage with a couple of our favorite Seattle bands- Vision and Valor, Monsters Scare You, and Keeping Secrets, at the Showbox Market. Thanks to all who came out to party with us! We will be here for the next 5 weeks locked in the recording studio pounding out some hits! I'll update as we go along and hopefully have some videos or pictures…
