Release Notes:
Many moons ago Primo Pitino, the DJ of San FranciscoÆs legendary Oldies Night,
passed me a copy of his friend Nick WaterhouseÆs ôSome Place.ö Nick was a local
vinyl DJ and the kid working at our Shangri-la, Rooky RicardoÆs Records. Though
he didnÆt have a band at the time, Waterhouse assembled some local musicians to
cut a one-off 45 in the vein of the electrifying mid-century modern rhythm and
blues he loved. I threw ôSome Placeö on the Technics during sound check a few
cities down the line and was blown away from the howling falsetto all the way to
the end! I gave it a whirl every night from Texas to Tennessee and all the way
back home to New York. Not only were the dancersÆ feet responding, but they were
also asking about the track on a nightly basis. The Nashville Scene was so blown
away that they printed a piece on Nick after a single listen. DJs and collectors
everywhere wanted it so bad that the little record with the big sound started
fetching upwards of $300 on Ebay.
The immediate and unprecedented underground dance party success of NickÆs DIY
record resulted in a full band, gigs, and, after a number of obstacles, the
widely acclaimed 2012 LP TimeÆs All Gone. NickÆs music, vision, and fully formed
aesthetic caught on globally and he was instantly a fixture at nearly every
major nightclub and festival on both sides of the Atlantic, Australia, Japan,
and Russia û hitting stages everywhere from Primavera to Montreux Jazz Festival
and charting on college, public, and commercial radio.
Only a year after self-releasing his first single, Nick Waterhouse was thrust
into the chaos of leading a band, touring, and recording in the big leagues!
Pummeling high speed down a bumpy hill of lineup changes, economic problems, and
general chaos without any breaks, Nick made it through and the challenges made
him more focused. 2014Æs Holly captured a more experienced artist upping the
ante in writing, performance, recording, and production, inspiring a new level
of critical and commercial success.
In addition to a jam-packed five years on the road, in the studio, and in the
practice space, Waterhouse also produced septuagenarian soul legend Ural Thomas,
Los Angeles Latin stars the Boogaloo Assassins, and garage rockers the
Allah-las. HeÆs currently collaborating with the likes of young Grammy-nominee
Leon Bridges and Steven Colbert bandleader Jon Batiste. The Rolling Stones blast
NickÆs version of ôI Can Only Give You Everythingö at stadiums before they go
onstage. Vogue hired him to pose with Kendall Jenner. He hipped her to Little
Willie John while Anna Wintour complimented his shoes. While a lesser artist
would get lost in these distractions, Nick WaterhouseÆs acclaim only seems to
energize him and make him work harder and push his music to the next level.
NickÆs latest Never Twice is a culmination, intensification, and realization of
everything heÆs been developing throughout this prolific frenzy. Catchier and
loaded with more hits than its predecessors, NickÆs new LP is at the same time
harder hitting, more rhythmic, more harmonic, more diverse, and more adventurous
than any of the excellent work that already separated him from the pack. A cool
and elegant post-post-modern cocktail of 1950s r&b and club jazz, mixed with
1960s soul and boogaloo, and shaken with a minimal contemporary sensibility,
Never Twice finds the artist taking his time, refining his vision, and speaking
with new authority. In five short years Nick Waterhouse has come a long way and
it looks like he may have just painted his masterpiece.
