Amanda Abizaid smoothly shifts to gentle jazz Upstairs at Vitello’s.

March 26, 2019

Patrick O’Heffernan (Studio City, CA) I have seen Amanda Abizaid live twice, once at the Irish-themed rock club Molly Malone’s in the Fairfax district of LA and last week at Upstairs at Vitello’s jazz club in Studio City, a celebrity enclave just over the hill from Hollywood. Same songs, same orchestration, but different feels – both very entertaining. Abizaid is a tall, honey blond, green-eyed singer/songwriter originally from Lebanon but ensconced in LA for years. She was backed at Upstairs at Vitello’s by a new band working with her for the evening that was down-to earth and rock solid. As with all of her music it included Middle Eastern instruments like the saz (long-necked mandolin), and hand and frame drums. There was also a percussion rack with a collection of hanging metal devices whose names I do not know but whose sounds work really well. Born in Beirut, Lebanon, to an American mother and a Mexican/Lebanese father, she traveled the Middle East and Europe with her family until she was ten years [Read More]

Adelaide hard rockers Terminal Zero have just released their new album, CONTROL. They had already released two songs from the album and they were well received. Now you can enjoy the full album. The 10 track album will capture your attention from start to finish and will prove they are a band to watch out for in 2019. About the album, Terminal Zero were fortunate enough to have 2 time aria nominee Richie DW Norton, of Superheist fame, take the reigns for producing this new album. The band said that working with Richie was a fantastic experience and that he really pushed them to record their best work to date. The mantra Richie created throughout the recording process was that every song should have the potential to be a single and thats exactly what the band have achieved with this latest album. Check out the video they released for their track, This Is What It Feels Like: Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on [Read More]
