The Compound Studio

When you are given the single headed '72 #ludwig toms go ahead and muffle that shiz, tune accordingly and mic with a #421 @thewildfiresmusic day one. A @themarcford production.

@theneptunebluesclub warming up the funky soul with this Saturday's Beachcomber gig in mind. #gretschdrums #marcfordandtheneptunebluesclub #gettingsweaty

Evan @letsget_instacrazy chose a couple of #localheroes to grace his kit. Trippy. #lifeisbutadream #drums

Evan @letsget_instacrazy gets schooled on Peanuts during a drum session for @marcosrmena 's record. Poor guy doesn't know who Charlie Brown is, that's just bad parenting 😉 #yourebeautifulkid #thecompoundstudio_lb #localheroes #peanuts

A Happy Birthday @kristapolvere! has inspired a TBT shot of yer pal Ryan Adams at the 'pound sipping coffee and rocking Marc Ford's @trussartguitars on the Reservoir Drive record produced by @antoine.arvizu and @themarcford circa 2010 (?). Enjoy your day and get back over here for more! #ryanadams #coffeetime #thecompoundstudio_lb #tbt

Refuse and Go! The Earth depends on YOU! Gifts of baked goods are always a part of recording the Maple Village Waldorf School (long beach). For those keeping score this was an early rehearsal and the children tuned up and turned it on for the recording. #refusereuserecycle #localheroes #mvws Thanks Lisa aka @hippie_chick33 for all you and your tribe do to help our community and our world.

Matt Jacovides says "People talk about this band or that band representing Long Beach but it's SHAVE who got it right" Tonight at King Neptune's in Sunset Beach. @antoine.arvizu plays the hype man @fortyrod plays second. #localheroes #fuckyes #shave

@wargirlband that's @mattwignall 's latest craze @fingerprintsmusic don'tcha know #longbeachmusic #localheroes #instore #vinyl

20yrs to the day #bradnowell took his journey. I can't say he and I were best buds, but having made the #40oztofreedom record together along with subsequent sessions I certainly forged some lifelong friendships and working relationships with the #sublimefamily. There are so many stories, but one anecdote I like to share is the way Brad could sit with an acoustic guitar and sing anything and the whole room would either shut up or sing along. He had that magic, and his crew does too; thanks for so much friendship. #longbeachmusic #sublime (at Long Beach, California)

What's up at #thecompoundstudio_lb ? @antoine.arvizu in PA with @theneptunebluesclub #marcfordandtheneptunebluesclub #luxurytour (at Sellersville Theater 1894)

#Repost @antoine.arvizu ・・・ Bright Lights, Big City... I believe it's a testament of the true nature of we humans; that we get along at all in such an overwhelming metropolis. The greater majority of us are kind, fair, helpful. #luxurytour #marcfordandtheneptunebluesclub #nyc #thebigapple🍎 (at New York, New York)

Foots-eye-view during a @theneptunebluesclub duo rehearsal. Working it out for our east coast dates next week. #thecompoundstudio_lb #littlebandfromlongbeach #localheroes #drummer
