Bio: Cold was an understatement. It was one thing to live in a big house. It was another thing to live in a big house, without functioning heat, in the dead of a Memphis winter.

Press

“Tennessee-born, blues-rock band The Oldest Profession was conceived within the cold confines of a Southern mansion. For $800 a month, guitarist Tyler Mehlhaff and bassist Scott Housman rented a six-bedroom, historic mansion in Memphis, Tenn. While the house was a steal, there was no heat. The winter of 2011 was the coldest Mehlhaff and Housman, both California natives, had ever experienced. "We would still practice, and we could see our breath while we practiced, so we developed a very high-intensity, fast-paced, physical practice that carried over into our live show," Mehlhaff says. "It helped us develop our stage persona." "I had never been to a place with those demographics, where poverty and race were in your face," he says. The group's most recent project is "1208 North Parkway," due out in December. The full-length album features the band's signature, fast, high-energy, danceable rock.”
