Caleb Nichols writes and sings songs. He used to sing and play bass for Oakland folk/indie outfit Port O'Brien . Before that he went to school in the redwoods, and before that he sang and played guitar in the The Bloody Heads , an amazing band from San Luis Obispo.
Caleb keeps a blog called, Hotel Existence , which ranges from excruciatingly boring to mildly entertaining.
Caleb's latest effort, "Some Ghosts", finds him teaming up with longtime friend and guitarist Jameson Swanagon. The duo wrote, recorded, mixed, mastered, and packaged this pretty little album all by themselves. Check out Jameson's label, Little Skreta , or click the album cover below to buy it!

Press for the Bloody Heads:
"Theatric, energetic, at times campy, but always engaging. Nichols' voice is an elastic thing, fascinating in its imperfections. The guitar solos can be messy and erratic but, again, mesmerizing in their frenetic qualities." -- New Times, SLO
"A bouncy west-coast pop outfit that does not sound nearly as scary as their name (they sound real good)." -- North Coast Journal, Humboldt
"With their quirky stories and rag tag and bobtail garage pop, Bloody Heads bring to mind Hot Hot Heat, The Violent Femmes with a dash of Jonathan Richman thrown in for good measure." -- Besttuna.com
"You couldn't really leave a show like that and not want to form your own band..." -- East Bay Express, Oakland
"These tunes call to mind quirky storytellers such as Jonathan Richman, Microphones' Phil Elverum or Morrissey even." -- Aquarius Records, SF
