They have successfully blended these styles to form their own unique sound that is getting a lot of praise. Mongrel is: Adam Savage – guitar Jessica Sierra – vocals Michael Ariza – bass Mike “Hoagie” Hogan – drums They have just released a music video for their new song, Oxygen Mask which is off their new album, Evolution which was released earlier this month on Unable Records.

Get ready to rock! CIMINO release new video for Animal

June 11, 2014

Hard rockers, CIMINO have been one of my favorite new bands. Their sound is one thing…. straight up rock n roll. No blurring of the lines of genres, no trying to reinvent the wheel, stray from their roots or any of that. This powerhouse rock band just wants to ROCK and that is exactly what I love about them. They bring such a truth into their music and along with their well crafted rock songs, you are immediately drawn in. They have just released a video for their second single, Animal which is off their amazing new album, Angels and Animals. The video was shot at Rocketbox Studios in Kansas City and directed and produced by Brad Austin. It has a raw in your face feel that highlights the honesty in this band, not a glitzy overdone Hollywood style which is overused in today’s scene. “We shot in mainly black and white for the same, raw feeling, similar to the album cover and material as a whole,” the band says. “The tune “Animal” is really up [Read More]

Rick Springfield had all the ladies under his Human Touch at Thunder Valley

June 9, 2014

If the temperature wasn’t hot enough on Saturday night at the Thunder Valley Casino Resort Summer Concert Series, Rick Springfield was there to take it a few degrees hotter! He is one H-O-T performer and had all the ladies under his spell. Rick Springfield has always been one of my personal favorites. Yes, I will admit I had a huge crush on him as Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital and even more so when he soon became a pop rock icon. I had his posters from Tiger Beat and Circus Magazine all over my walls. The night was awesome and filled with great music. First we had Eddie Money and next up was Loverboy. Then for the final set, Rick came out and took over the crowd with his magnetic charm. He literally had all the ladies screaming and acting like teenage girls! It was a wild time. Rick even did an amazing cover of Katy Perry’s ROAR that had the crowd in a frenzy as they applauded. Check out the photos by our Rockin Ryan of the [Read More]
