  This may be the funniest marquee of all time: The sign alone should have had people lined up all the way to Universal City.  This show was bad ass.   A.L.I.V.E.’s all-star tribute to KISS rules.     With the amount of talent in this band, this show was a no-brainer (even not being real KISS fan).… Continue reading A.L.I.V.E. – REX BROWN’S BIRTHDAY BASH with BUMBLEFOOT RON THAL, REX BROWN, MARK ZAVON, and BRIAN TICHY 7/24/2013 pictures, videos and show review

RAY GOREN There’s been a lot of talk about Ray Goren and has guitar playing abilities.  At 13, his singing and playing are way beyond his years.   Ray got up there and gave a commanding performance.       After The Moby Dicks played for over 3 hours at the Viper Room last Saturday, Chas… Continue reading RAY GOREN AND THE MOBY DICKS LUCY’S 51 TOLUCA LAKE – LoMenzo, Aronoff and Woods All-star Jam 7/22/2013
