An L.A Secret Revealed........
ALVAS SHOWROOM
HOT LIVE MUSIC PERFORMANCES

Alva's is one of the premiere JAZZ showcase venues in Los Angeles!
Here's a Fantastic Musical secret that I discovered right in our own backyard.  It's ALVAS Showroom in San Pedro.  Alvas has actually been around from the 1950's as a dance studio, a happening Music Store, but it's also been almost secretly hosting some of the most exciting live music performances in L.A.  It's outfitted with high tech stage equipment, yet it has a comfortable quaint atmosphere.  The seating is like a small amphitheater for about 80 people.  You sit so close to the band that you really are part of the music experience. There are no waitresses or menus, but you can bring your own food and drinks ...  Wow that's cool!  Check out ALVAS website for the upcoming acts.  They just did a tribute to CREAM with Ginger Baker's son Kofi Baker drumming.  If you're looking for something Musically Special to do Saturdays, this is it.

Mick Jagger  was in the middle of the band’s planet-circling “Bigger Bang” tour. and had the idea to make a film about the tour. Jagger’s original concept was to shoot the group’s biggest concert ever and they were going to be doing this big concert in Rio de Janeiro with a million people on the beach. But once Scorsese got involved, he thought that a Stones concert is already such a spectacle.. “What if I can convince them to play on a smaller stage, the "Beacon Theatre" in New York, with the best cameramen in the world..?”
The result is SHINE A LIGHT, and the STONES Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood are joined on the BEACON's stage by long time admired Bluesman BUDDY GUY along with Pop rockers Christina Aguilera & Jack White III.

THE MUSIC ROOM

THE BUCK BROTHERS


The BUCK BROTHERS of London England consist of Lead man/bassist Andy Duke, Guitarist Dom Beckford & Drummer Craig Welsh. This is a high energy, power trio of interesting proportions that I've come to love. Rodney on the Roq turned me on to them, and I can't stop listening now. They've got melodic, progressive, tight grooves with an added great comedic touch that truly ROCKS you into a totally Fun Zone. With the comedic angle they take, you aren't surprised that none of them are actually named Buck or are Brothers. Their pumped up energy is ever present in all the songs, with tight performances by all the players. They remind me of the catchy & natural good feelings that the Beatles brought to another generation. Andy Duke is the driving force, the lead singer, and largely behind the humorus attitude of the Buck Brothers. Check out "Girls, Skirts, Boots, Bikes" and "Gorgeously Stupid" to get you started on their music set. They have a new version of their music video "Which Me Do You Like" which we will be adding to this continuing article shortly along with an exclusive interview with Andy Duke. If you're thirsty for Music.... come drink from the refreshing Holy Grail of Alternative Rock, The BUCK BROTHERS.  NEW UPDATE See below for our exclusive interview with Andy Duke of Buck Brothers. It's really great!

This Classic Rock group RAWKS into Toy World...
RAWK DAWG a new, but classic rock sounding group lent it's raspy Rock voice to the toys for the Peter Jackson film KING KONG.  RAWK DAWG's lead singer, Jo Island recorded and created the vocalizations for Universal Pictures partners for merchandising efforts.  Peter Jackson himself approved the sounds to represent the 250 million dollar film.  "We had to make a few changes to satisfy Peter, but in the end we got that "ALPHA" sound that he wanted.  It was really very cool to work with major film like that!" said Jo Island of RAWK DAWG.  RAWK DAWG is soon to release it's 3rd CD as a followup to  the 2nd CD ”WE ONLY CAME TO ROCK”.  Their Classic Rock is RAW, EDGY & IN-YOUR-FACE ROCK, and  MUSIC CONNECTIONS sites Robin Trower, Bad Company, Steve Marriot and Grand Funk are all avidly channeled by these seasoned, hard-hitting musicians, and the song,“Are You Still My Lover” stands out.  Here are the links:

OMG - this GUITAR has a brain!
The NEW GIBSON  "Robo Guitar made history as the first guitar with robotic self-tuning technology. WHOA! You just strum an out-of-tune guitar and the tuning keys move to perfectly re-tune the guitar in seconds. You can select normal or special tunings too, like Eb. The guitar has a CPU in the body you can see if you flip the guitar over. The connection to the keys isn't using wires up the neck but it actually uses the strings themselves to tell the tuning pegs which way to turn. It's really fantastic. It's a bit pricey now, but I know it will become more commonplace in the near future as "Add-on kits" will be coming out to upgrade existing guitars.

Given the many issues surrounding the music industry today, it can be all too easy to overlook the source of it all – individual songwriters, lyricists and composers. But thanks more than 9,000 others who have signed ASCAP's Bill of Rights for Songwriters and Composers to date, music creators are being heard!

The Bill of Rights for Songwriters and Composers was launched by ASCAP this past spring and is an advocacy initiative designed to remind the public, members of the music industry and U.S. legislators of the central role and rights of those who conceive and create music.

DEBRA ARLYN at LIVE AT THE LOUNGE
LIVE MUSIC REVIEW

Saturday night, LIVE AT THE LOUNGE in Hermosa Beach, (on the south bay from Hollywood) showcased 4 singer songwriters. On this night all of them were women, and all of them were talented, but there was one star that shinned through brighter than any out that night…. Debra Arlyn. Debra is sharp, smart and so alive that it takes you and shakes you into life. Such emotion in her voice that it touches you and expresses life so profoundly that you can’t believe that at 20 she can show such an understanding. She is soooo alive and jumps from intense to thoughtful just phrases apart. Her attitude is matter of fact as she announced her songs and the personal origins that she drew from. People can talk about emotions, and music but Debra does it. I was forced to write about this artist by her shear musical power. She is a killer now, and a monster talent to be seen more in the future I am sure.

Debra live in Oregon and in touring the Los Angeles area this month, with one more appearance at the Palmer Room in L.A. on September 19th. If you missed LIVE AT THE LOUNGE, the Palmer is you last chance to catch her.

                        JONNEINE ZAPATA - LIVE MUSIC REVIEW  MOLLY MALONES in HOLLYWOOD

JONNEINE ZAPATA at MOLLY MALONES
LIVE MUSIC REVIEW

Full Moon Productions & JT showcased the artist JONNEINE ZAPATA , at MOLLY MALONES in Hollywood, August 16th. I had never seen Jonneine perform before and didn’t know what to expect. The act that preceded her, was a full blown Rock act that had blazing guitars & drums that had brought the room up to a High energy level. When Jonneine and Jeff Mendel , her guitarist took the stage, Jeff sat quietly on a chair, head lowered with electric guitar, gently picking the strings. After a bit, Jonneine poised in a Japanese flavored gown, began to softly sing their first song. The performance was dramatic, musical & theatrical. The room was still full from the previous act, and audience stood in the center of the room to listen to her performs. The audience was captivated and stood quietly, listening to every word she sang through out her set. Joanneine’s performance was sometimes haunting, as was the smooth guitar playing of her accomplice, Jeff Mendel. Her songs were very emotional, touching on deep, frail at times, feelings seemingly from her own life. I felt I was watching a play, with drama ala Jim Morrison, and a candid look into an interesting life. I later spoke with Jeff Mendel and found they will be doing recording a soon, and had no CD at the time to give me. I think if they had recorded that night, it would have been a fantastic record as it was. They don’t use any special effects, just great talent, performance and musicianship.

SCOTT HENDERSON
at ALVAS Performance GalleryLIVE MUSIC REVIEW
– San Pedro
Scott Henderson appeared at ALVAS Performance Gallery in San Pedro… did I say appeared? Actually they almost blew the roof off. His Trio is a HOT fusion of Rock, Jazz & Blues with John Humphrey on Bass, and Kirk Covington on Drums & Vocals. Scott’s soaring Guitar travels from Jazz to Rock and Blues without compromising any of them. He’s plays with multi- textured overtones that remind you of the passion of Jimi Hendrix, and the freedom of an Eric Clapton’s Cream Jam. Scott is entrenched in the Blues and it’s definitely “Electrified Smokin’ Blues.” The Jazz element comes through in swells of guitar textures & sounds at Scott’s will. Scott mans a large & extensive custom effects pedal complete with 2 twisting foot switches, 2 foot controller, and over 20 push buttons. Scott effortlessly rides one foot twisting the controls while he’s bending the notes with his whammy bar almost without conscience thought.
Scott fluently attacks his Jazz with diverse creativity, jumping from emotional musical bridges, without falling short of the mark. Kirk Covington, is a ROCK solid drummer with a Musical attitude and Rock solid voice that fit the soaring Blues Rock songs like a glove. On Bass was John Hunphrey, has a solid punchy and musical feel to round out the trio. At times John’s playing was so smooth it sounded as if he was playing a fretless bass.
From his days with Chick Corea and on with TRIBAL TECH, Scott has always stayed on top of his musical game.
The trio tours across Europe once or twice every year. Scott is just back from the latest European tour supporting his newest CD release “SCOTT HENERSON – LIVE”

A totally enjoyable HIGHT ENERGY act not to miss. Rock, Blues & Jazz as only Scott Henderson can mix them.
