Album Notes

Gabe Rosales is a breakthrough musician/lyricist/artist and teacher who has already established himself in the music industry through many different genres. From touring with guitar hero George Lynch's Lynch Mob at age 19 to touring with Jennifer Lopez across Europe, Gabe has expanded his musicality to embrace many different styles and genres. From jazz fusion trios to death metal, Gabe has learned to nurture his talents through pure self expression.

Rosales' first independent solo release Vital Nonsense, is an artisitc statement and a venting through the eyes of a hispanic musician whose path has taken him to some of the most extremes of human existence. His lyrical content derives from his unbelievabable journey from performing occult rituals, to attending buddhist meditation schools for weeks in silence, from touring on private planes to representing the southern chapter of the mexican mafia in jail. Each track is tailored to express each emotion purely and honestly through whatever genre the feeling invokes. Its brutally honest with no frills other than the myriad of top names in the industry in each genre. Vital Nonsense features drum virtuoso Dave Weckl, Jane's Addiction's own Stephen Perkins, the legendary innovator of hip hop Divine Styler, Bert Baker of The Pharcyde, fusion legend Prashant Aswani, NY and LA touring and session legend Paul Pesco, Heather Dee Perry of Jimmy Buffets band, Riz Story of Anyone, Brentt Arcement of LIVE and many many more. You have to hear it to believe it. From tales of love, death, religion, politics, sobriety, and jail life Vital Nonsense is a commentary without being preachy. The grooves are fat, the riffs are heavy, and the chord progressions are transcendental. Check it out!!
