You're Itchin' Into My Mind

Our good friends Douglas and the Furs are finishing up editing their newest EP, so here's a little sneak peak with their new music video for "You're Itchin' Into My Mind". Enjoy.

Commonwealth

Alright folks, two of our favorite bands, Douglas and the Furs and the Budrows, will be performing together at the Commonwealth in Fullteron tonight at 9pm. Both bands have been killing it as of late, with the Furs on a hot streak, this being the second show of their residency at the Commonwealth, and, as the video below shows, playing a surprise show on the garage rooftop of the Wiltern after Jack White's show last week. The Budrows have been layin' down their foot-stompin' cigar box blues all over Southern California, playing shows at The Redwood Bar in LA, Avalon Bar in Costa Mesa, along the Sunset Strip, and more. So come on out to the Commonwealth tonight and see two of the best up-and-coming artists around (and plus, it's free, so there's no excuse for "not havin' the cover charge").

Also, check out Jason Farthing's (of the Budrows) hand made cigar box guitars, which are his instrument of choice in all the Budrow's sets:

M C A

Today, Adam Yauch of The Beastie Boys, a.k.a. MCA, lost his three year battle with cancer. The Beastie Boys, who launched into the spotlight with "Fight For Your Right (To Party)" and their debut album "Licensed to Ill", went on to become one of the most influential hip-hop groups throughout the 90's. 

R.I.P. MCA.

Spindrift

We cruised down to Don the Beachcombers in beautiful Sunset Beach this weekend to see Spindrift. If you haven't heard of these guys, enjoy the psychedelic western trip below. Think Jim Morrison meets Tennessee Ernie Ford in the Mojave desert…

Enjoy.

Monday Blues

A little something to help ease those Monday blues.

Enjoy.

Satisfaction

Infinity Surfboards: Keepin' our women satisfied since 1970. Enjoy.

Douglas and the Furs

Rock n' Roll ain't dead, so long as these guys have something to say about it. Douglas and the Furs are a bitchin' three piece band hailing from Anaheim, with John Shively on lead vocals and drums, Douglas McCurdy on lead guitar, and Jared Henderson on bass guitar. There's no bullshit on stage with these three, just straight, face-melting, soul-pounding, rock n' roll. With songs like "Black Eyed Susan"; "…loyal to no man, the power to save, I leave it to Susan when it comes to another man's fate…", the days of poppy, hip, meaningless lyrics are behind us. Douglas and the Furs are on their way to jump starting a hard rock revival, true to its roots. Keep an eye, and certainly an ear, on them, and check them out on Facebook here and download their newest single, "You're Itching into My Mind"

Enjoy.

Douglas about to melt your face

The Funkiest Man Alive

This morning LAPD found Don Cornelius, the creator and host of Soul Train, dead in his Los Angeles home. Cornelius was truly one of the funkiest men alive, bringing us timeless performances by Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Kool & The Gang, David Bowie, Aretha Franklin, and many many more. So put on your boogie shoes and pay homage to the soul brother by makin' it funky all day long. Here's a little clip of the Soul Train dance line dancin' to Earth Wind & Fire's "Mighty, Mighty". Rest in peace Don Cornelius.

Rainy Day Blues

Jack White once said, "I can't trust anyone who doesn't like Led Zeppelin". Looks like we have that much going for us then.

Upon us all a little rain must fall...

At least until the south swells start filling in...

Merry Christmas

Here's Elvis to make your Christmas a little bit better.

Enjoy.

Led Heds Unite

The Budrows

Listen up cause we're slingin' some real blues your way. We're talking real blues here. This local three piece band from Aliso Viejo consists of Macarena Rivera's vocals, Jason Farthing on his very own self-built cigar box guitars, and Jesse Boden layin' down some real "growly harmonica licks". These guys have just been getting better and better, and they're certainly someone you'll have to see live. And not a second too soon, they'll be playing at Macalistaire in Laguna Beach (Just south of Mozambique) tomorrow, November 15, at 6:30. Enjoy.
