Automatic Static was born in an old one-bedroom apartment in downtown Sacramento Ca in the spring of 2005. Zac Diebels who had been blessed with success in music through being a song writer/guitarist. He had toured all over the world with some of the biggest bands in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s and had even contributed as a writer to other band’s music. After making demo’s of some rough songs he had written, he quickly was signed to a production deal with producer/engineer, Brian Dobbs. Dobbs’ credits had included Metallica, AC/DC, Motley Crue, American Hi-Fi, Weezer and many others. Diebels was very excited to write and work with such talent. Diebels would set out to write and play every instrument on the recordings, choosing to put a band together after the songs and album had been done. This is exactly what he did and today it stands as “Co-Depressant,†the debut album from his project dubbed “Automatic Static.â€
Recorded primarily in Los Angels at The Bomb Shelter, owned and operated by former drummer for 1990’s rock band Stone Temple Pilots, Eric Kretz. Diebels would do some post-production in Sacramento at The Hangar Studios and Sacramento Sonic Works. Writing and recording an entire album on his own liberated Diebels as a musican that can hold his own. He now has the pleasure of having a live band and friends to share the experience with. They are two fo the most talented and badass musicians around. Listen and hear the rock for real people.Automatic Static is:
