About Simon Petty & Seth Rothschild (w/Special Guests)


In possession of the kind of friendship forged in the baptism of fire that occurs when touring in a van across America, Seth Rothschild and Simon Petty have been playing music together for fifteen years. Gigging endlessly with their erstwhile bands, Gingersol and Minibar, and then cutting the Rothschild-produced album 'The Sea, The Sea' as Solomon's Seal in Texas and Brooklyn, over the years the pair have honed their songwriting chops on the sharp edge of the music industry.

This EP is their latest collaboration. Recorded as a Christmas present to themselves in Bed-Stuy, December 2014, it features three songs from each, produced by Rothschild in a manner reminiscent of artists as diverse as The Flaming Lips and The Velvet Underground. 'A Little Bit of Ink' is just that: a lyrical footnote to the musical road less travelled. Voices once weary of the Sisyphean toil are shot through with a new-found love of life, and the joy found in the sheer craft of making music is on full display.

One of them once met Paul Westerberg, the other Elliott Smith. Together they almost make a complete person.

Band will include: Konrad Meissner, Scott Danbom, Rod Hohl and Joe Ongie.
