Drown yourself in Villains of Vaudeville and come ALIVE!

June 15, 2013

Do you know what is coming up and you have to be ready for???? The premiere of Villains of Vaudeville‘s video for Demolition Baby! If you don’t know who I am talking about, let me share my love for Villains of Vaudeville with you. I have been secretly in love with my new favorite CD that has been hidden away because I just don’t want to lose this one to ANYONE! It has remnants of everything from Marilyn Manson to Rob Zombie with a hint of STP and everything in between! Just as stated from Villains of Vaudeville, it is “Beats that threaten to entrance your soul. Riffs that will rake you from the flames of hell to the rapture of heaven… Listening is a surrender to the right of passage… an Initiation to the dance… You have been warned.” That is so true in so many ways. Youcan just get lost in the music in the very best way. Drowning in a romantic array of lyrical beauty that is Kenny Kweens. It [Read More]

Get under the spell of Red9 and rock!

June 14, 2013

Today I was treated to a special afternoon filled with some KICK ASS Rock and Roll!!! I recently received the new CD by Red9 “Under Dark Skies”. It was a perfect sunny afternoon spent sitting outside and set the CD on play….. Then it began… Under Dark Skies… The first song Hold Your Own brings such a great Sabbath/Ozzy sound that just wakes you your senses and demands you take a listen. Great first song that has you looking forward to more. Patterns comes in next with an incredible drum and bass intro that just leads into an incredible rhythm that just sustains throughout the song. You are now just getting started and ready to rock and roll. Song 3 is Ignoramus and has a dark edgy sound with an exuberant build up that just delivers another well composed song. You continue on with Lead on and Mother that has me scouring the internet to find out when their next show is. I am starting to get cravings for their live shows! We saw them last year open for Slash [Read More]

June 6, 2013

I know a lot of you know me for my intense love for rock and roll but you also should know that I have a soft spot for really good country music. Well my passion for country has just been satisfied. It has been a long time since I have had my affection for country music peaked in any way. Well that has all changed. I recently heard one of the most amazing voices that literally sent shivers down my spine! His name is Marty and he is from the Marty Ray Project. I watched a YouTube video where he did a cover of Billionaire by Bruno Mars & Travie McCoy. You can watch that video right here: We then found out that there is much more to Marty than his cover songs on YouTube. He has his own original music. I couldn’t wait to listen to and to find out more about this burly bald teddy bear with a bad ass beard! Marty says, “My Mother always said when I cried as a baby [Read More]
