GKISS Records in the Woods

Did you know Hemet has it's own Independent Record Label?

They do! It's called GKISS Records and Fishman Projects Gatsby's Fiddle and Richard Friend are on it. Yes, the royalty checks are just flying in.

Marty Fishman recently rented a Limo and brought the GKISS boys up to the Funky Bazaar for a day of fun and recording. Only one problem, we didn't bring any food. 

You can watch the Shenanigans below:

The Faces of Hello Penelope

We recently produced a star studded music video for local Hemet band HELLO PENELOPE. Enjoy below. And when we say 'Below'... we mean it.

Gatsby's Fiddle says "Think & Smile"

Gatsby's Fiddle has a new EP called Think & Smile. This 4-track collection of sonic tales is now available for streaming and download through BandCamp.

Think & Smile marks the first release with newly formed Hemet Record Co/Recording Studio GKISS Records. Sign up for their mailing list to receive 2 unreleased Tracks not on the EP. One of the songs is "Sea Hag on the Moon" a funky-electro Hippie Cream Cover. 

All songs written while Wesley and Daniel were living in South Carolina. Recorded in Portland, OR with Ryan & Jeff Burian at the Control Panel. 

My favorite song is Almost Touched. I imagine 2 hands right next to each other, almost touching...

Here is the Promo Video for the CD release show:

Hippie Cream Goes Deep in the Tiki Hut

We all know that Hippie Cream is my favorite Band, but where are they now? There are rumors of a new EP coming out. There are rumors of Band Leader Cory Houdyshell moving to the Central Coast this year. What will the future of the band be? I have no Fishin' idea! 

The Fishman Team had to capture Hippie Cream in an appropriate environment and explore the vast back catalogue of classic songs (100+ Cream Cuts and counting).

The Band travelled to a Tiki Hut in the mountains of Idyllwild, CA and recorded some of their deepest cuts: Takin' a Fish / My Neighbor / Pray That When I Die / Pee Paw I'm Gonna Save Ya / Creepy Old Guy / The Magical Chocolate Flute.   

Hippie Cream's Cannibal Stewardess 2 now on Amazon

They say once you get on Amazon.com you've made it. Hippie Cream re-recorded their classic tune Cannibal Stewardess 2 in honor of the Short Film being produced. It is now available for digital download through Amazon Music.

You can download the song from Amazon

You can listen to the original version of the song on Hippie Cream's Bandcamp Page

Priceless Princess

While living in South Carolina, we met a wonderfully talented young man named Jason (also know as Express the rapper). Richard Friend, Express and Gatsby's Fiddle began working on a music collaboration about a Princess leaving home for the first time. The goal was to capture the energy of Jason and preserve our time in South Carolina with a song. The result is a 6-Part Hip Hop Suite in the key of C Major. Stephen and Paola created a promo video for the song while the audio was being polished by 1980sPrince.

Richard Vegas

The Fishman Crew recently went on a Trip to Las Vegas. During our visit, a series of promotional videos were created for Sage Trilogy starring Hip Hop Artist Richard Friend. This is the first time Richard Friend has made a public appearance. Even the drunk freaks of Las Vegas were confused by his oddly shaped head.
