The Oakland A’s currently have one of the youngest rosters in all of baseball. The team’s also got as much of the rock & roll spirit as any team in the league! Former A’s infielder Scott Spiezio has his own band, starting pitcher Barry Zito is a big music lover who spends most of his […]

Cheerleadr
The first thought one thinks when hearing the band name, CHEERLEADR, is that this band is an all girl band…it’s not – so just get that idea right outta your head! In fact these bad boys are from Canada and they are tearing up the stages in and around Hollywood and Vegas. I joined them […]
Total Abandon At The Getty (A Night With Patti Smith)
Patti was at the Getty and this tired jaded rock & roll heart needed to see her. Her voice saved me those late dark Philly nights years ago. She gave me direction then and I was lost so right now her timing was perfect. She was in town to talk at a synposium about her […]
What Happened Saturday Nite?
Then it was off to Cindy Pop’s Kittenfreaky show at the Dangerous Curve. There was spoken word and some weird art display where you slide your credit card on the machine and if you were cool enough your name would appear rank-wise on the projected screen. Jesus’ name was on the top of the heap. […]
Munkey Juice – Her Absence
Hailing from Newark, Ohio (the state the boasts such talents such as Devo! and Roy Rogers) We were wondering what the heck was going on with Track 1 – they almost lost us waiting for the song to kick in – wondering if there was a song – but once it did kick in on […]
Rickie Mann – The Little Things
At a first glance at the cd cover you think Stevie Ray Vaughn…and when listening to songs like “Getting Used To Lonely” and “Last Time Blues” on this disc, Vaughn’s influence along with a bit of Steely Dan sound is present on the tracks. Overall, enjoyable music to listen to while downing your Coors lite […]
Willie T and Doctor X – Hogs on Ice
Great cd graphics – tourquise blue, white and black carituratures of the bandmembers as little pigs kicking back, downing brewskies! These guys have a great folky songwriter style to their songs – so much that we could phantom the possibility of this band opening up for “Blues Traveler”. While there’s no website address, here’s their […]
Serah at The Derby
I have to say I’ve never seen so many instruments on one stage at one time, but Serah gave a great performance. Her mellow vocals were well complimented by the backup vocals in a mix of African chants and the powerful voice of her highly animated backup singer. The music was beautiful and the show […]
The Clumsy Lovers – Under the Covers
This group comes straight from Canada. They’re not the Canadian Pogues but you certainly can drink to them! If you are into cloggin and upbeat notes, this cd is a must have! Traditional bluegrass with touches of country, celtic and rock. Worth it for the cover songs like “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Where The Streets […]
Raymond – Raymond 01
Mysterious black cd cover with “Raymond” written silver…hummm…got our curiosity. This disc of indie pop with sounds of punk was engineered by Brian Bwon (Juliana Hatfield, Pilot to Gunner) and offers listeners a slight sinister taste of scream to whisper vocals on song “Nonsense”, while “Trust Me” has an intensity of frustration and guilt. Recommended. […]
