Cataldo with opener Erik Walters at Brickroom
Seattle-based indie rock band Cataldo stops by Brickroom in the wake of their latest album release, "Keepers." Erik Walters (of Silver Torches) opens with a not-to-be-missed solo performance.
ABOUT CATALDO
The mania of romance and domestic bliss sparked the songs of "Keepers." However, the scope of the album and depth of its production were fueled by the urgency and empowerment of a songwriter with both everything and nothing to lose. A few trips to Los Angeles to flirt with professional--and potentially more profitable--songwriting opened Eric Anderson's eyes to some unappreciated benefits of the scrappy economy of indie rock. "I started to realize that I had it better than I knew and way better than lots of folks doing for-hire writing in LA," he says after a view inside the major label hit-making sausage factory. "I get to write whatever I want, record it with whoever I want, and release it whenever I want. No one I met at any level had that same freedom and it was liberating to realize, for me, giving that freedom up wasn't worth the dubious financial rewards that folks were chasing."
And yet the process of recording "Keepers" was anything but carefree. As he wrote and recorded the songs that would become Keepers, Anderson started to hear the clock tick. "Hand in hand with the realization that I didn't like the LA songwriter hustle came the acknowledgment that I probably wasn't going to make my way in the world with music alone. A chance to make a record suddenly seemed precious and finite; I felt some healthy pressure to do good work." These competing but complementary forces are what makes Keepers the most exciting and dynamic Cataldo record yet.
