Golden Sea is the brainchild of Dan-O Deckelman whose career spans four decades now. Golden Sea represents the heavily melodic side of his interests which can lean on power pop, new wave, brit pop, British Invasion, and early college indie via the 1980’/90’s. Though you can certainly hear traces of earlier work, Golden Sea represents a departure from the bands he’s been associated with such as Adam West, Mudd Helmut, Rocket 69, and The Service. Sharing the stage with many noted artists and bands has also left an impression: These have included: Rocket From The Crypt, The Ramones, DGeneration, The Figgs, Supersuckers, Leaving Trains, Demolition Doll Rods, Big Sandy, The Call, Phantom-Rocker-and Slick, The Fleshtones, Electric Frankenstein, and many more. Dan-O is an engineer and producer at Sound of Music Studios, and the Owner of Snake Oil Recording in Richmond, Va.
