Ready To Make Some Important Career Choices?
Career Records was launched in the fall of 2002 by Deniz Tek and Ron Sanchez as an outlet for their many musical projects. The label is fully self contained, with a small circle of of musicians and artists who lend their talents as needed. God's Little Ear Acre is the in house recording studio where much of the work is carried out.
The goal has always been to work with select group of artists we respect. Roy Loney, Penny Ikinger, Angie Pepper, and The Plaintiffs are all musicians we have known for years and whose work we hold in high regard. It's important to us that we give our full attention to every release. While we might like to have signed others, our small roster, Donovan's Brain and The Deniz Tek Group are the priorities for us at the moment.
What about the music? Deniz Tek is well known for his work with Radio Birdman and all the groups that followed. Ron Sanchez has led the psychedelic "collective", Donovan's Brain since 1986. Between the two of them, there are enough musical influences to dominate the turntable at any party. The Career philosophy is deeply rooted in the traditions of pioneer like Atlantic, Stax, Motown, Island, and UA; right down to the matching suits and dance lessons. Deniz and Ron have worked closely with all the artists; producing and performing on the records. Donovan's Brain and Deniz serve as the house band, backing Penny Ikinger and Angie Pepper on stage and in the studio.
Career Records is also maintains a mail order shop, offering all the the Career releases, and a number of other related items. We also administer distribution for The Last Of The Bad Men and Richard Treece. You will find Career Records music on CD Baby and iTunes, Amazon.com and a dozen other digital platforms if you prefer to shop there.
As well as the shop and artist information, you will find photo galleries, essays about what we do and reviews of artists and music we like, Ron's radio show play lists, and a news page that is updated regularly. Neither of us have time for blogs or another MySpace page, anything we have to say probably ends up here.

Road Trip, Green Pajamas and More
Our trip to Seattle opened with a rare live performance by our friends, The Green Pajamas. The PJs were celebrating the releases of their new album Poison In The Russian Room with an in store at the West Seattle Easy Street. Our Australian visitor, Greg Martens had hoped to see the PJs play live which is not something that happens often. Laura Weller and Joe Ross also played with Capping Day, who opened the show. Several tracks from the new album were performed to the delight of the large crowd that showed up for the show. Afterwards, we gathered at Scott and Laura's place for a late night's visit. Jeff Arntsen joined us for the fun.
