Vreny is a Berklee College of Music grad and I studied guitar with him in 2003-04. I never thought I would share the stage with a [...]

I had a [...]

I picked up the latest record from Kid Congo Powers & The Pink Monkey Birds after reading an LA Weekly article a few weeks back about the eclectic roster on In The Red Records. I also heard Mike Watt talking about him on the Watt From Pedro Radio Show…I didn’t know that “The Kid” aka Brian Tristan had at one point played guitar with The [...]

I’m always on the look out for new music and I just came across this video from Memphis rocker Carey Haynes. The song is called “Better Than You.” This is good stuff. I’m going to review their debut EP in the next week or so. Have a look!

3. Jailhouse Rock
4. A Little Less Talk
5. Viva Las Vegas!
