To all my friends, It has been a very long time since I have posted a photo blog, almost 6 months to be exact. I have enjoyed my break from the internet. I have been surfing a shit ton, going to shows and enjoying music again, hiking in Yosemite, and most of all visiting with friends. With that said, I cant wait to share all this good info with all of you. I have been staying busy and here is the proof.
I I will be hitting the road for just a few weeks with the guys again ( The Street Dogs ) cant wait to get back out there, have fun, get into trouble and see what the east coast has in store for us. Here are just a few images to highlight the last time we all hung out.
Alright and now, the big news I would like to tell you all. One of my best friends Justin Ostrout and I have started a very, very small management company to help promote the music of our dear friend Seth Pettersen. Rose Park Management, named after our very own neighborhood here in Long Beach Ca, has been and idea for a very long time, but now we are finally seeing it through.
All three of us surf.. alot, and Seth is a surf monster and all his songs come across with and great ocean vibe, so with that in mind, we have just been getting the music to the people who live the same lifestyle.
Justin, Seth and I have been putting together hundreds... yes, hundreds of hand made CD samplers and delivering them to surf surf shops all around Southern California. Just this month, Seth played concerts with professional surfers Beau Young and Timmy Curran. Also, two songs off our sampler are being used in an upcoming Australian surf film titled " Little Black Wheels" Here is the trailer for that film coming out March 2010
So I would like to introduce to you our good friend Seth Pettersen and the Undertow. Here are some images, a video and a link to his tunes, hope you dig.
