End of the Aughts

LA Skyline

Just got back to LA from visiting the folks in St. Louis and Monique’s parents in Charlotte, NC. Had a great time catching up, but would love to have done without the whole traveling across country deal. Note to US Airways: Please stop overselling your flights! We arrived at the airport to find the airline had no seats for us. Thankfully some willing passengers took the airline up on a free voucher to stay behind for another six hours.

I’ve had a great decade. Moved to LA in 2000, formed a band called Signal Hill Transmission, wrote many a song, put out several records, made some lifelong friends, found love, lost it and found it again and capped it off with “Quick Fix Bandage,” my first Fisher Price solo record. What more could a guy ask for? I’m looking forward to saying twenty ten and have several projects in the works that I’ll fill you in on after the first of the year. I hope y’all have a great NYE. Be sure to cab it!

Check out the view from our friends house in the Hollywood Hills. On a clear day you can see the whole city.

December Update

Friday, December 4th, 2009

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

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.
