December Update!

scottwarrenblog — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 21:52:37 +0000

Hey Y’all,

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I certainly did. Hung out with some good friends down here in Venice. Oh, did I tell you I moved? After years on the Eastside, Monique and I moved to the beach (Marina del Rey). It’s been really great. I miss my old digs, but being able to walk to just about everything is great. I also went in on a little studio with my buddy Kevin Houlihan. It’s a back house that was allegedly built and used by Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys. While I have no proof, I’ll take the butcher’s word for it. Hopefully some of that Beach Boys mojo will find it’s way into my new recordings.

Speaking of records, I’m really happy with how everything turned out with “Quick Fix Bandage.” I hope you had a chance to check it out. If not, I’d love for you to have a listen. If you head over to http://scott-warren.com/music you can download the record in it’s entirety for 99 cents. I will in turn donate your 99 CENTS (or more if you choose) to Sweet Relief, “a musician’s fund that provides financial assistance to all types of career musicians who are struggling to make ends meet while facing illness, disability, or age-related problems.” I’ll have it setup this way for a week (through next Friday, Dec 11th) and let you know how much I send to “Sweet Relief” on my next update in January.

That’s about it. Oh, had a nice song placement in the new FX series called “The League.” It’s a Signal Hill Transmission tune called “Ordinary.” If you haven’t had a chance to check out the show, it’s really good. All the episodes are “On Demand.” The song appears in episode 2 & 4.

Hope you have a great holiday season. Talk to ya next year!

Cheers, Scott

OHOUSE GIG!

The world famous (in some circles) Oyster House served as our national headquarters during the recording of “Quick Fix Bandage.” We would follow up a long day in the studio with a nightcap at this historic Studio City bar/restaurant. We met a lot of musicians and good folk here (some that eventually lent their talents to the record). We (myself and Kevin Houlihan) have threatened to play this joint for over a year now. This Saturday night it’s all going down. I’m playing a stripped down set around 10PM w/ Kevin on Bass and Brian Young on drums. The Meadows (Kevin Houlihan & Todd Herfindal) will follow. Come early for dinner and be sure to ask Christopher for a round of his special Margaritas!

57 Days Later…

57 Days Later…

So, yeah, 57 days since my last blog. Figured an update was in order. The shows at Hotel Cafe, O’Brien’s and The Echo were a blast. Looking forward to the Pete’s Candy Store gig on OCT 27th in Brooklyn! Attached is a nice little write up about the record. Included is a questionnaire I filled out, divulging some extremely personal info.

Blinded by the Light

My solo gig at Cinema Bar last Saturday was a blast. It was, however, a little bright in there so I decided to play the whole show with my eyes closed. No one seemed to mind as they were equally blinded by my orange duvetyne suit. Thanks to all that came out to support, especially my sis and bro in law that drove up from San Diego.

Quick Fix Bandage is officially out today! Thanks to everyone that had a hand in making it a reality. Have a look/listen at iTunes or Amazon. Cheers!

Oyster Nights

Kevin just got back into town from a six month stint in Fiji. What better way to celebrate than to visit our home away from home, “The Oyster House.” The O-house became a very important part of our recording sessions b/c of it’s close proximity to the house on Sarah St. aka Studio City Studios. We’d put in a 10 hour day and walk up to the joint for a night cap. We actually dubbed the last take of each session “The Oyster Take.”

Something was in the air last night b/c things got downright giddy after awhile. At one point, I joined Christopher behind the bar to make some Margarita’s. Here’s a pic. I know it’s a little blurry, but that’s how we were feeling…

Backstory

scottwarrenblog — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:26:30 +0000

I got together with my buddy Kevin Houlihan in late 2008 to record the songs now collectively known as “Quick Fix Bandage.” We recorded most of the record in an empty house in Studio City, CA. A bunch of friends stopped by to play. Here are a few pics from the sessions. If you’ve never tried playing w/ “Fly Eyes” on, you don’t know what you’re missing.
