Keeled Scales was co-founded by two friends and musicians in Austin, Texas. We put out our first release in June 2014.
Seth Whaland already had the name in mind and drew the logo. He plays bass in the bands Très Oui and Literature and co-ran Natrix Natrix Records from 2004-2009, which was a cassette and vinyl label that also hosted legendary house shows in Austin (Woods, Deer Tick, and Real Estate, to name a few). He currently owns and runs the Austin moving company MASH Movers, which employs several Austin musicians and artists.
Tony Presley has played music as Real Live Tigers since 2004, playing over a thousand shows in the US, Canada, and the UK. He comes from a background of booking and promoting local shows, booking national tours, press outreach, tour-managing and artist management. He currently manages the label.
