LV KIX

I've been keeping my eye on this Sister's Doll deal... very cool how far they have gotten. This would never happen in The USA... More power to The Doll's.

Cool....wonder if this is the same lineup for Grounded For Life! Yes......same lineup on Grounded For Life Different vocalist on both Mona Lisa releases.

Who's the man? This guy. Mike Beatty of Tattoo Taxi is hooking me up with their songs. Awesome news...PM me when you get them...Living in a box is cool I know Robert Lasky has the Grounded for Life songs...but he is a very hard person to get a hold of....rock on bro I am pretty sure the Grounded For Life demo has the same songs as The Art Of Seduction except for the addition of "Nightmares" The Tattoo Taxi guy posted each song as a video on his FB page. I will be ripping each of them one by one and saving them as mp3's. Hope they turn out okay. "Grounded For Life" is only 5 songs (one being an instrumental) and none of those songs are on "The Art Of Seduction"

Hey Geoff... Vaudville's bass player was Jeff Reid (later SR-71).

Some of my favorite Sunset Strip bands that I saw in Hollywood were Anna Black, Filthy Ritz, Sinn City, and Rings Of Saturn.

I like the Dikk Trikkle release.. actually listen to it 4 or 5 times a year.

I went to the Rock 'N' Skull show... Hericane Alice was one of the best bands that played.. I for sure will pick up any new stuff they release. Good songs. Also saw them at Hammerjacks when they were Hurricane Alice. I think I still have that poster around here somewhere.

I guess they didn't want to waste any footage on the other guys in the band? Poor dudes can't even tell mum about the new video their "band" just shot. Anyway, it's a real cool disc. Nothing weak on it at all - just good hard rock all the way through. Well... One of the guitarists was the producer and filmed the video himself while they were in Vegas.

CHEAP TRICK - "Bang Zoom Crazy Hello"

David VanLanding... vocalist for Baltimore's Mannekin has passed away. Many know of him thru his work with Tony Macalpine, Crimoson Glory, and Michael Schenker. R.I.P. my friend.....

I may be hitting a show or two during this Canadian tour. No US date are going to be added.. Canada only.

That's pretty amazing. What's Mark Evans doing these days? Just Heaven's Edge songs, or is he still making new music? Mark is doing both... still playing local clubs with his solo stuff and doing a few Heaven's Edge shows. I assume this show will be him doing mostly Heaven's Edge tunes.

Next weekend... Rock N Skull show... Hardline, Johnny Lima, Lillian Axe, Steelheart, Hericane Alice, Trixter, FireHouse, Mark Evans (Heaven's Edge), Loudness, Ted Poley, PBF and Lynam to name a few.

I've booked a bunch of shows for Station... a great live band. Should be doing another show with them very soon.

I have decided on The West Coast Monsters of Rock Cruise for 2016. KIX Loudness Vain Pretty Maids LA Guns Quireboys Faster Pussycat Steelheart Keel Rhino Bucket Black N' Blue Vixen Adler Mr. Big Britny Fox Babylon A.D. Ted Poley Quiet Riot Autograph Firehouse Slaughter Winery Dogs Femme Fatale Lynch Mob Tuff John Corabi Great White Bang Tango With a couple more to be added....

The new Diemonds CD has been released worldwide. Great stuff... check it out if you like female fronted Rock/Metal.

When my #1 album of all time wasn't listed.. I gave up.

Ratchet Dolls from Texas

I've just booked Station for a show on August 1st, 2015... I know we have a couple Maryland people in here... come on out to Sonoma's in Columbia, Maryland. NO cover charge... also appearing will be Love in Vein Rob... This is a close one for you... and free.

Mid August release date still on track... Priya is now fronting an all female band called She Demons. They will be opening some shows on the current MisFits tour.

I knew these chicks back in the day. Still keep in touch with Linda (guitar)... Still have my cassette. All of the members of this band are still active in the NJ music scene.

I'll have to check this one out... Just saw Derek St. Homes just over a month ago... good show.

Anyone have the self titled full length release yet..? Thoughts?

Just giving the heads up about a Heavy Metal Band (NWOBHM) that some of you might really like. As some of you know... This past Thursday I held my annual "M-Pre Party" show in Columbia, Maryland. The line up consisted of Mach22, Station, Nasty Habit, Last Call Messiahs, and a band out of Pittsburgh called Lady Beast. I was a bit unsure about adding Lady Beast to the line up because they are a bit heavier than most bands I have play this event. All I can say is.. I am glad I did. Many of the over 200 people in attendance thought that Lady Beast stole the show. Check them out for yourself - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lady-Beast-Heavy-Metal/179141995430791

They have released a handful of CDs.. look for "Rise Of The Tora".
