Rotblitz released their 2nd album on April 1st. Be aware, this record is no joke. Another onslaught of wit and social commentary all wrapped up in fast beats and razor guitars!

Check it out on spotify!

We are excited to welcome a bunch of great artists to our tinytone music catalog: Flipsyde, Spencer, Cris Rellah, The Formers, Tilia, Blush, Braggarts and more. Many of these bands were produced by tinytone music’s own Reto Peter. Check out our sampler!

Reto once again traveled to Switzerland  this summer to work at Somastudios. This time he started production with the Munich based sister duo Deer Park Avenue. They tracked basics for their new record with Reto handling the engineering, producing and bass player duties. They will finish the album in California this fall.

Reto co-wrote, produced, engineered, mixed and played drums on this new track by Oakland’s own Flipsyde. The drums were tracked at the now defunct Jingletown Studio in Oakland. Overdubs and the mix was done at tinytone’s studio of choice The Teahouse.

How San Francisco Recording Studios Dealt with Early Punk Rock Bands

We are very pleased to announce we are now working with Edmund De Los Reyes, aka Great Oz. With his flair for dramatic synth and orchestral sounds, this son of an Opera singer doesn’t have to click his heels together to create musical magic! Moving between retro cinematic electronic and more modern orchestral soundscapes, his compositions scream to be set to picture. Have a listen to some of his work here –and welcome to tinytone, Great Oz!

Manage to rescue this thing out of a friends hands just before it hit the scrap heap. The Ampeg V-4/V-22 was used most famously by Keith (Keef!) Richards –or so I’m told, as well as some lesser known underground wonders like Greg Sage from The Wipers, Doyle from The Misfits, and even the guys in Fear. It’s clearly seen a lifetime of abuse, but with a little love and a bit of money this late 60’s (early 70’s?) amp and matching cab should be up, running, and sounding rad in no time.

After a 10 year studio LP break, Daniel and the other Briefs have returned to Sharkbite Studios in Oakland to begin work on their long awaited and ridiculously overdue new LP.  Here they are doing their best Van Halen reunion tour impression.

Just in time to celebrate Rupert Neve’s birthday! The Teahouse is excited to welcome these two vintage Neve 3115 preamps to its arsenal. They were commissioned by RCA for their Rockefeller Plaza facility in 1973. It can’t get a whole lot better than that…
