Things got busy around my 2nd story apartment in Long Beach, and, frankly, I’ve been trying to catch up. But, while I’ve been running a lot, the focus on Anchortapes hasn’t changed.
Last weekend, my roommate Sayer Danforth and I set off to film our first collaborative music video with our friends in The Fling in Pioneertown, California. After 3 days of filming, partying, and dehydrating in the desert, we returned to the LB with better footage than we could’ve possibly hoped for. Still much to do in post, but we’re well on our way to creating a video we’ll both be pretty happy with.
Luckily, we have a good amount of time to work on it. After wrapping on the side of a two-lane highway in Joshua Tree, The Fling (Dustin, Graham, Justin and Justin) packed up their van Beverly, and hit the road for SXSW and several other dates across middle America, leaving us plenty of time to play with the footage. If you’re anywhere near one of these shows (I SEE YOU DENVER!), go check them out…
As for the traditional Anchortapes – no slowing down. Several shoots lined up and ready to go in the next few weeks, including some collaborations I’m very excited about. Hope you will be too!
Take care.

When Jon Tehel invited us over to Laura Loriga’s 1st floor apartment in East Hollywood for dinner and to film a song, I had no idea what I’d be walking away with. Or how I’d walk away feeling.
Plates of lasagna and glasses of wine with about 10 others dwindled down to about 5 or [...]
It’s tough to come up in a town full of 21+ venues when you’re underage, and Long Beach is full of younger acts. But if you haven’t heard Korey Dane’s identifiable songwriting or his incredibly calming voice, you haven’t been paying enough attention. Korey is easily one of the top singer/songwriters in Long Beach, and, [...]

To end the year for Anchortapes, I really wanted to record a session with The Fling. And what better way to do it than inviting a bunch of friends in the neighborhood over to participate in the session and, ultimately, get a little drunk.
So, the day before we recorded, I hit up Dustin and [...]
