Mallory Trunnell knows how to party and make people happy. By Patrick O’Heffernan

November 12, 2014

Mallory Trunnell knows how to party and she threw an heck of one at the Hotel Café Sunday night to release her new album, Words. Dramatic in a puffy pink prom dress with a blue silk sash marvelously clashing with her red hair, brilliant red lipstick and plastic flower necklace, Mallory was dressed for the part…part music, part fun, part party. She started the party with a parade of singing a Capella girls, who wound their way through the audience to stand in front of the stage adding a backup of ooh-ohh –oho and bong, bong, bong” to “Mallory’s opening number from the new album, “My Turn”. It was smiles from there. But despite the celebratory atmosphere, Mallory Trunnell is not a party girl; she is a busy girl, and has been from an early age. She grew up in Delta Utah and began an acting career at the age of 4 and started writing songs at 9, pretty sizeable accomplishments for a child in a desert town of about 3500 people. She is [Read More]

Last week Ace of Spades in Sacramento was definitely the place to be to satisfy your need for ROCK! We got there in time to catch a great set by Force of Habit and then Otherwise came out and rocked the house! Just as we were reeling from our Rock n Roll fix, Buckcherry came out and delivered a full on energy overload set of ROCK! The entire place was fired up and singing along to the crowd favorites as well as their new songs on their EP, FUCK. It was the perfect night to prove that Rock n Roll is not dead and with bands like Buckcherry out there, it will never die. We had a blast rocking out to all of our favorite songs and one of our highlights was seeing them perform Somebody Fucked With Me. The energy of band was truly matched with the energy of the crowd, with each song it intensified. It is awesome to see a band with a great history, come out and give a 150% every [Read More]

“Happy Kat” McDowell: songs, smiles, cheers and laughs at Witzend release party. By Patrick O’Heffernan

November 11, 2014

“Happy Kat” is not Kat McDowell’s nickname, but after seeing her live at the Witzend Saturday night, that is what I am going to call her because that is what she does – make people happy. And Saturday night she made a packed house, standing room only cheering crowd very, very happy. Not bad for his first major live performance in her adopted LA home. Born in Japan, raised mostly in New Zealand, with many parts of both cultures inside her, Kat McDowell makes music in both English and Japanese that make you sit up and take notice, or just let you happily tap your feet. She combines, pop, J-Pop, calypso, rock, Hawaiian and a positive musical attitude in a mixture that is like sunshine to listen to. She built a successful career in Japan as a gaijun – a non-Japanese, even though she is a native – and that’s a serious challenge . But after many albums, singles, gigs, shows, TV commercials and studio sessions, she was a success there so now she [Read More]
