Leading the Heroes: CD Release for The Hollow Hearts and Broken Seams EP

Where oh where should you be this saturday at 6pm? hmmmmm?
Well let me tell you! You should be at Kevro's Art Bar for one of the hottest release parties that will happen in South Florida for a very very long time.

There is a $10 cover for anyone under 21 oooor if you are over 21 you can pay the $10 dollar cover (normally its $5) and get free copy of the new album! The Hollow Hearts and Broken Seams EP!
And ladies and gents, this isn't a 3 track cd with some okey playing music. This is a full listing album with some rock your socks off music that will make you jam in your car for the next year!

Hydrosonic will be playing as well as The Mission Veo. According to Dan from LTH, Before We Sleep had to drop off the bill. They were in discussion of finding someone else to play, so there could also be a suprise band as well.

I have never been less than impressed with a Leading the Heroes performance. I will be there as well... a rarity as far away as I live, but I will be back with pictures and all sorts of fun stuff.

So be there!!
Or lanna will find you and tickle you!

-Peace!

Murder in Motion: Swampgrass Willies

Murder in motion will be playing at Swamp Grass Willies this Friday at 10 pm.

This is a really good show to attend as it is a decent sized venue with pool tables and usualy pretty excellent drink specials. The only catch is that you have to be over 21.

On top of Murder in Motion, Paris is Burning is also going to be playing.

Eat, drink, shoot pool and be merry!

Battle of the bands... Warning

I was told through a band that the program board for FAU would be putting together a battle of the bands soon. They are doing this without the help of Owlradio which they did the year before, because as of right now the program board has not paid the bands who won the bands battle of the bands from the previous year. I'm not sure how they are going to pay the bands this year or what their prize will be, due to the fact that they haven't fulfilled the other part of the contract that stated that they are to play with the next headliner that the program board books. This is sketchy to me and I am warning bands to be leary of this.

This is a warning only. It is up to you, the band, to enter the battle or not.

Leone: Playing with LOVE DRUG

Leone, a local South Florida band will be playing with Love Drug on March 3rd at the Orpheum.

I have close ties with Leone and they won the Hootstock event that the program board threw for FAU last spring.

This is a band that is well worth seeing. The last time I saw them, they were playing a local show up near me in Vero Beach and they always play a hard rock show combined with amazing lyrical content. With the addition of their new drummer, they are harder hitting and sound better than before.

This is going to be a great show and even though it is all the way in Tampa, this is about local bands and the South Florida scene. So check them out at their myspace if you cannot get out to the show. Listen and Love.

Jimi Hendrix: The intimate story....

Jimi Hendrix: the intimate story of a betrayed musical legend.

By Sharon Lawrence

"i can envision the day when all material things are pulled from me, and then the stronger my soul will be"

-Jimi Hendrix, summer of 1969

Jimi Hendrix lived his life in the spotlight and yet much of it was behind closed doors. It was a time that the stars lives werent plastered all over every magazine like a weekly chronology of what someones life is in the eyes of those who observe. Jimi Hendrix was never really understood and though we may catch a glimpse of him through his music, we can never truely know just from the music. This book does an amazing job from beginning to end to bring us closer to such a musical legend... and a better understanding into his short life and death.

Definately check it out... Publishers price is $14.95 paperback.

Leading The Heroes: Show TONIGHT in Delray Beach

This even is interesting because it incorporates live music, an art show and live painting.

Teresa Korber will have her art on display as well as live art.

Leading the Heroes be playing as well. I'm friends with these guys and when they are on stage they are not just playing for the heck of it. They are playing so that you feel like you are part of the show too.

This event will be particularly interesting because of the duality of the event.

So breakdown breakdown:

Who: Teresa Korber and Leading the Heroes

What: Rock show! Art show!

Where: 52 North Swinton Ave, Delray Beach 33444

When: February 12th. TONIGHT!!!

Go out! Have fun! Bring your valentine!

Elido: Mojo Room!

The Mojo Room (which may be a little north for most of you readers) is in Port St. Lucie. If you have never been there though, it's quite the venue. The stage is pretty gosh darn amazing and there are not 1 but 2 bars to choose from.

Moving onto the musical talent: Elido.

This band is a hard rock band. According to their myspace page their musical influences are: A7X, Incubus, PapaRoach, Sevendust, Taproot, Nonpoint, Rage Against the Machine, Soundgarden, 311, the Apex Theory, LostProphets, etc....

I will fully agree with Nonpoint and 311. These guys are very talented and this show will be amazing. On top of all that you'll be supporting local music. $5 to support the cause!

Get off your butt and instead of seeing a movie (which will actually cost you MORE) go to the Mojo Room.

Stonehigh: First show in 7 months

Local band Stonehigh is having its first show in 9 months. Jon Ross and Steve Beaulieu will be together for an acoustic show.

So a breakdown on info:
Who: Stonehigh
Where: Atlantic Billiards
When: Feb. 20th

According to their myspace website... the band may have their new line up ready and fans should be listening to new music by February (which is now... so we'll just be waiting impatiently).

Story:

Yes I am going to tell a story. This is a story about how good these guys are not just as a band, but as good people in general. I was putting together a battle of the bands last year. I was trying to get a lot of bands and even though these guys were playing 2 shows already that day, then came on to play my show making that 3 shows in one day. For a local band that is all but unheard of. Not only were they playing 3 different shows... the show's locations were ranged from Port St. Lucie to Boca Raton.

So go check out some great bands, great music and have a good time!

The Gist on Can't Stop The Signal

So for everyone who is a music junkie and likes to hear interviews with bands, listen to Can't Stop the Signal on Thursday from noon until 1pm. This is a shameless plug, as it is my show, though I find it highly relevent to the blog.

Today I had on Trevor from The Gist.
It was a fun show and I'm glad that it was so successful after not having done a show in about 7 months! But it went very well!!! So check out their myspace!

This is the video for their song Believe. Check it out!
Until later

Fire Zuave: Leaving South Florida

So last thursday (last minute show... even the management at Respectable didn't know about the show that was happening in their club) I was able to see The Fire Zuave live...


The show was amazing and for any of you who happened to make it out there, Kudos.


You can find The Fire Zuave at their myspace. They are relocating to Athens, GA. They will be back for a few shows at the end of Feb... so check out their myspace for that information.


Chris, the bassist, will be staying in the South Florida area and possibly starting up a new band after a "much needed break."


Chuck (the singer and guitarist) and Jason (drummer), will be leaving for Athens, Georgia. Make sure you check these guys out!!
