Y & T celebrating 40 YEARS of Rockin The Planet!

April 10, 2014

One of my favorite rock bands of all time, Y&T is celebrating 40 years of Rockin The Planet. Maybe one of the reasons I have always loved them is that they were a local band from the Bay Area and I saw them perform maybe over 25 times. Y & T started in Oakland, California and originally released their first couple albums under the name Yesterday & Today. Since 1974 they have released 18 albums, three greatest hits collections, plus a box set and have sold over 4 million albums. Long before Motley Crue, Guns n Roses, RATT, Metallica, there was Y&T and they are one of the founding rock bands that set the standard for many to rock! They have never stopped rockin the planet and there is no slowing down in sight for these guys. You can celebrate their 40 year anniversary by purchasing their “40” design tee which is available on their website here: http://store.meniketti.com/ Also make sure to catch them out on tour. Y&T promises to deliver a high energy powerful set [Read More]

This will be Framing Hanley‘s third CD and the first in 4 years. Frontman Nixon explains, “There was definitely a dark period during the 2 years we spent recording this.That’s not to say this album is some dark and brooding album. There are definitely some light-hearted tunes on here as well; some that are fun. This album is the past 2 years of our lives and is every part of our beings…that’s what the title means. This album really is the sum of who we are. The thing that I love most is, I think when the listener puts on those headphones, or puts the cd in the car, he or she is gonna listen and come to find out, hey, me and this guy have got some things in common!” This album is said to be the bands boldest artistic statement to date capturing the essence of [Read More]

The Fray is our Bottle Rock Napa 2014 Featured Band of the Day

April 10, 2014

Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is The Fray. The Fray has been one of my favorite bands for quite a while. I think I have seen them live about four times and honestly I just can get enough of them! I remember the first time I fell in love with them was when I heard their song Over My Head on the radio. I tried to find out who it was and no one knew. It took me a couple weeks of trying to catch it again on the radio and this time I was going to find out! I did and quickly went out to buy the album How To Save a Life and my long love affair soon began. The Fray always has music that just spoke to me at the right times in my life. The honest and raw lyrics touch upon the many challenges in life and were sung so beautifully and in a perfect composition. Their songs became the soundtrack of my life’s ups and downs and [Read More]

Steel Panther release new video for Gloryhole off their new album All You Can Eat

April 9, 2014

Hold on tight!! Get ready for another raunchy yet hilarious video by Steel Panther. This time it is for their song Gloryhole which is off their new album All You Can Eat. The album was just released less than two weeks ago and everyone is talking about it. It has everything you could want in rock and metal from anthemic rock songs, arena size ballads, blazing guitars, great harmonies, power house drums, sexy bass lines and those 80s style vocals that we can’t get enough of. There are some bad ass guitar solos, smokin riffs, catchy choruses, I just can’t tell you how epic this album will be. The songs are fun and infectious and you can’t help but love them. Definitely a party album for any night of the week. If they had a panty meter for this album, it would be a full on soaking wet one for this new album! We will have to watch out for the next baby boom that will be coming 9 months after this release! It is [Read More]

Thom Chacon is our Bottle Rock Napa 2014 Featured Artist of the Day

April 9, 2014

Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Artist is Thom Chacon. For today I wanted to feature an artist who truly makes an impression with his words and melodies in his song. Thom Chacon is an Americana delight as his music brings to light his influences of Kris Kristofferson, Steve Earle and Townes Van Zandt, among others. His love of nature in his personal life trickles into his song as you find yourself often painting a scenic picture in your head as you listen to him. His narrative style evokes so much passion in his songs and his vocals are soul touching. One of the songs that highlights this style is in Chasing the Pain, amazing song that tells such a reflective story of pain. Thom‘s songwriting is spectacular and reminds me of true Johnny Cash style. Thom has gone on to tour around the world, opening for artists as diverse as Los Lonely Boys and Jason Mraz, playing shows in Thailand and India, and even one memorable gig on July 4, 2004 at Folsom [Read More]
