ABOUT THE SHA-LA DAS

The Sha La Das are Bill Schalda and his talented sons Paul, Will and Carmine, originating from Staten Island, NY. "Your Picture", the Sha La Das’ second album and the first release on producer Tom Brenneck's own label, Diamond West Records, is yet another singular testament to the stirring power of blood harmony and a celebration of the enduring love story between Bill and the family matriarch, Linda.

Traces of old memories flicker through "Your Picture". Bill’s classic songwriting and lush vocal arrangements get whirled into new territory, updating doo-wop with the bottom-heavy groove and swirling pop of Brenneck’s lean, spacious production.

“We brought in some psychedelic sounds and drew inspiration from deep soul records to the Beatles and Beach Boys alike,” Brenneck says. 

Love radiates throughout "Your Picture, flowing out from the shimmering melodies Bill and his sons produce. Bill Schalda and sons are living their musical dream - "Your Picture" is the proof.

ABOUT DIAMOND WEST RECORDS

After 20 years of friendship – including time as bandmates, roommates, artist-consigliere – and after running a successful music publishing company together, Thomas Brenneck and Jared Tankel started Diamond West Records. Based in Pasadena, CA and founded in the Spring of 2022, Diamond West has partnered with Secretly Distribution for marketing and distribution.

Brenneck, having not only made classic records under his own Dunham imprint (see: Charles Bradley and Menahan Street Band) but also producing and recording with the likes of Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse, Anderson .PAAK and YEBBA, and Tankel, helping lead the Budos Band while climbing the industry ladder as an artist attorney, are uniquely positioned to venture out from under the Daptone Records umbrella and create something new and independent.
