October 11, 2013

We have been waiting not so patiently and it is NOW TIME…. One of my favorite bands, Love and a .38 released  a new video for their new song, “Just a Woman” that as I mentioned before,  “has such a bluesy classic rock sound to it and I just fell in love with it instantly. It has a great chorus that makes me want to cruise out on the open highway with no worries and my Love and a .38 turned up loud!” As Danny Excess, drummer posted about the video: “Get ready… the new Love and a .38 premiers today at 12pm PDT! If you want to see a typical kickass rock video, than DON’T watch it! This is a combination of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!,The Karate Kid and Napoleon Dynamite. Hope you like it or hate it!” So check it out here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrJeLxvZ_z0&feature=youtu.be]   I know one thing….

Lzzy Hale and Tom Keifer perform “Nobody’s Fool”

September 7, 2013

Growing up in the 70’s/80’s, I listened to a LOT of ROCK n ROLL. One of my favorite bands from the 80’s was the Philadelphia based blues rock band CINDERELLA. I went to many of their concerts to just to hear the raspy, distinctive gritty voice of Tom Keifer. His vocals were incredible and always drew me to their music.  Tom had suffered some nodules on his vocal chords and at one time, left him unsure if we was going to ever be able to sing again.  Tom has succeeded in treating his issues with his vocal chords and continues to amaze us with his powerful and amazing voice. Earlier this year, Tom released his solo record, The Way Life Goes on Merovee Records (through WMG ILG) and went out on the first part of his tour in support of the album. Tom has two singles out from this spectacular album, Solid Ground and The Flower Song.  We recently brought you our interview with Tom Keifer here where you can find out more about Tom and [Read More]
