Los Angeles native john gold is a singer/songwriter -- or, as he puts it, "writer/songsinger" -- who should be a poster child for DIY. With a little help from from his friends, his songs have found their way from a small Hollywood apartment to the ears of the masses on shows like Weeds (Showtime) and the successful indie film Mean Creak (Paramount), not to mention Nike and Levi"s spots. Fans have started to notice the lovable underdog, and after having self-released two full-length albums (These Are Color Days in 2002, and The Eastside Shake in 2005), john gold is preparing to unveil his third proper release, entitled a flower in your head, via Vagrant Records in August 2011. Recorded and co-produced by drummer/producer Scott Seiver (Pete Yorn) and mixed by Shawn Everett (Weezer, Phantom Planet, Simon Dawes), a flower in your head is complete with ten shimmering pop songs, each serving as a sunny manifestation of the trials and tribulations that make up what we all like to call "life". From start to finish, a flower in your head offers something for everyone, roping in 60"s and 70"s Southern California rock enthusiasts with tracks like `Skyscraper" and "Baby, it"s Your Life" with pop hooks, piano leads and tambourine shakes that make it nearly impossible to contain your sing-along instincts on those long summer drives.
