Nick Waterhouse
[/b]Nick Waterhouse (born c. 1986) is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer from Los Angeles, California. He is a guitarist and singer known for a sound rooted in Rhythm & blues, jazz, and soul.
Waterhouse was born in Santa Ana, California. He was raised in Huntington Beach, California, the son of a fireman and a saleswoman. He took up guitar at age 12. As a teen began taking influence from music outside of the punk rock and indie rock common of the community.[1] He has cited John Lee Hooker, Van Morrison, and a reading of Peter Guralnick's portrait of Dan Penn as early influences in his musical development.[2]
Waterhouse started his career as guitarist and singer-songwriter with Intelligista (2002-2003), a combo compared to the Animals and High Numbers-era Who.[3] This band performed in the Orange County underground music scene that yielded artists such as Ty Segall, Mikal Cronin, The Growlers, The Japanese Motors, and Cold War Kids.
In 2002, the band entered the Distillery in Costa Mesa to record a radio broadcast and a 7 inch single, beginning a friendship between Waterhouse and owner-engineer Mike McHugh. As members graduated and relocated to different cities, the band split, finding Waterhouse attending San Francisco State University in San Francisco, California.[4]
In San Francisco, Waterhouse continued pursuing playing music with little luck, concurrently becoming more involved with the burgeoning DJ community. During this time, he began spending time at the all-vinyl Rooky Ricardo's Records in the Lower Haight District, eventually taking a job there. He has repeatedly cited apprenticeship to owner Richard Vivian and the shop's connections to local soul club scene as a great influence. [5] During this time he also struck up a friendship with Matthew Correia, later of the Allah-Las.[6]
[edit] Musical career
Waterhouse recorded his debut single in late 2010 at the Distillery Studio in Southern California. "Some Place", backed with "That Place" was recorded with a pickup group billed as the Turn-Keys [7], featuring Ira Raibon of the Fabulous Souls playing saxophone. The initial release of "Some Place" in November 2010 was on Waterhouse's own PRES imprint. The single was recorded, mixed, and mastered completely analog to lacquer, plated and hand-pressed. The labels were handset letterpress printed. Copies of "Some Place" sell for as much as $300.
On the strength of the self-distributed single, Waterhouse assembled a backing group, The Tarots, as well as taking on a trio of female vocalists, The Naturelles. This line up coalesced in time for a debut performance in the last week of December, 2010.[9] His earliest performances were with artists such as Ty Segall, The Strange Boys, White Fence, and most frequently, The Allah-Las. He signed with Innovative Leisure Records in March 2011. He relocated from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 2012, and began touring, making appearances in North America and Europe, as well as working as producer on the Allah-las 2012 self-titled debut.
In May 2012, his debut album, Time's All Gone, was released on the Stones Throw subsidiary, Innovative Leisure Records.[10]
Waterhouse toured North America and Europe in the fall of 2012 in support of Time's All Gone. -wiki
