We’re nearing the one year anniversary of the launch of Anchortapes, and things are starting to get a lot more complicated — in a good way, that is!
For starters, we’ve added a few pages to help visitors connect more with our sessions and find out more about the artists we work with:
1. MAPS
We’ve created two new maps for our site. The first is a map of locations where sessions that have been posted on our site were shot and recorded. Since most of our sessions are filmed in Long Beach, this map shows near exactly where each session was filmed, so you can feel more like a part of each session without having the chance to attend. The second map lays out music venues in Long beach and the greater Los Angeles area. Beyond being a reference for the best places to see live music in Southern California, the music venues map can lead you to venue calendars to see when a band is playing.
2. SESSIONS
The sessions page list all the Anchortapes sessions recorded, but in alphabetical order of artist with links to each artist’s website, Myspace page, and each video recorded with Anchortapes. This page is designed to help visitors find out more about the artists they’re watching videos of, see more of them, and maybe even find out about a show.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments about these features or any other inquiries regarding Anchortapes, feel free to hit me up via email at williamkostka@gmail.com.
Thanks again for visiting Anchortapes! Please continue to spread the word, and come back and visit us soon. We have some great sessions with great bands coming very soon!
Thanks.

When Jeff Suri asked if a laundromat off Broadway in Long Beach would be a good place to shoot a session, I basically thought “Why not?” After all, there really is no place I couldn’t really shoot. And with Jeff’s odd, yet intriguing songwriting, I couldn’t really argue that any location wasn’t perfect. With [...]

On an early Saturday afternoon, I cruised straight down Broadway to meet up with Eugene Owens and his band Eugene & the 1914 at guitarist Michael J’s loft in downtown Long Beach. Being the first session I’ve recorded with a band I knew not a single member of (and Eugene being the brother of [...]
