Hillbilly Herald returns to San Francisco and takes over The Regency Ballroom

November 12, 2013

One of my favorite bands, Hillbilly Herald returned to San Francisco last Friday night to open up for Steel Panther. It was a last minute show announced by Hillbilly Herald and we were so glad to  make it down there and not miss these balls to the wall rock-n-rollers! Hillbilly Herald truly just had the crowd in it’s hands as they came out and played many of my favorites, Bad Boy Bruiser, Gold Digga, their cover of TNT, Greedy, Shame on Me and Rock n Roll is All I Wanna Do. Their energy was nonstop and their music is so damn fun, it is like old school rock that you LOVE! We will be bringing you an interview with Jimmy Heral in the next couple weeks. For now, check out this tribute video by Rockin Ryan which includes footage and photos from their San Francisco show.   If you don’t have it already (SHAME ON YOU!!!) head over to Itunes or Amazon and download their latest album, Sunday’s Best. Also check out their video for [Read More]

Christian Martucci, creating a scene for great music!

January 6, 2013

Christian Martucci I am excited to tell you about Christian Martucci’s new solo project. I have my IPod filled with great songs from Christian’s past and they are some of my favorite songs. From “Nowhere Ride” by The Chelsea Smiles to “Last Fucking Hope” by Black President and to “Shine”, “Downsider” and “Lights Out” from “Thousand Watt Stare“. Christian is just purely awesome on guitar and vocals. He has such a great unique sound that just draws you in and energizes you. In my previous post from Thousand Watt Stare I described his voice as “Ramones with a touch of Johnny Rotten and a dash of Elvis Costello which is an incredible combination.”   He is like liquid adrenaline running through your veins. Well, Christian is currently getting ready to release his new EP titled, “Man Without a Name”. If you are lucky enough to be in the Los Angeles area you can go to their album release which is scheduled for January 11th, 2013 at one of my favorite old stomping grounds, The Viper Room.
