On Fire, Cuzzin!

Hey Soul Mates,
Rush Hour Soul was in full effect last night... and so were our fans. First, thanks to everyone who made it out to see the show. And extra thanks if you brought a friend. We had a lot of first-timers. That's always a blast. And the feedback was really great to hear. The turnout for the whole night was good, I'm sure the Gig was pleased. All the good looking girls and boys come out to see RHS!

As the curtain rose, Doug played his kick ass drum intro to A Talent For Loving. The crowd was into it from the get-go. We played a mostly uptempo set, only slowing down for Down By Love and Love Someone at the end. Bryan really wailed on those solos, cuzzin. Did you like the shades? Bryan also lead the handclapping on Fall Out when I had to tend to a technical glitch with my bass. And Doug, can't say enough about the man keeping the time. Love you, dog. I'm so proud of the band, not because we accomplished anything great, but because we love what we do: entertaining you.

Here's the set list:
A Talent For Loving
Excommunication
Down By Love
Fall Out
Saffron Dancer
Hold On, I'm Comin'
Sucka
Love Someone

Yeah, it was a short set, but HI-NRG.

Right now, I'm kicking back with some tea and putting together some of the photos from last night. We are looking forward to our next show on Friday April 22. Keyboardist extraordinaire, Adam Marsland will be performing on a few numbers including a new cover we hope will knock your socks off. We're also planning on adding one more new song to the set for the month.

Keep it tuned here for the latest!
Love, Power, Peace

John Lennon 40 Years On

Remembering John Lennon today. Forty years have flashed by. I can still hear my clock radio turning on to the incongruent sound of the Beatles on Dec. 9, 1980 and wondering why? I think about John every day. I am fortunate to have been able to make pilgrimage to Mendips, Abbey Road and Strawberry Fields, NY; to play on stages like the Cavern, the Jacaranda and the Troubadour where he performed or made trouble, or both. Here’s a quick playlist for you and me. (Just Like) Starting Over I Should Have Known Better Bless You Nobody Told Me Strawberry Fields Forever Nowhere Man Enjoy the day. Fill it with peace. Fill it with music. #JohnLennon #Liverpool

Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air - Book Review

“The Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air” is a trippy new mystery novel from Phillip Mottaz. It captures the grit and gilt of the City of Angels with the flair of a contemporary Raymond Chandler. The brisk pace and wit are reminiscent of Douglas Adams’s entries in the detective game. Flourishes of  Fletch  and “Medium” also spring to mind. However, Mottaz has added a psychic/mutant/superhuman touch and his own comedic voice, structure and internal monologues to the proceedings that help the author announce his own style and the arrival of a literary heroine for a new generation. Hairstylist and budding private investigator, Danica Luman is the perfect character to convey the irony, angst and sarcasm needed to tell a 21st century L.A. crime story. Danica also represents anyone who thought it would be neat to get tangled up in a mystery and the darkly comic cautionary tale that follows. The genre is recognizable, but Mottaz offers a fresh take on the not-ready-for-prime-ti...

Rush Hour Soul Returns

Hey Soulmates, been some time, but many of you on Facebook have already seen that Rush Hour Soul is back. I am very excited that while we are looking back at the 15th anniversary of our 2006 UK tour, there are things happening behind the scenes for 2021. For those unfamiliar, Rush Hour Soul is a trio with myself on bass and lead vocals. We were a part of the Indie/Powerpop scene in Los Angeles from 2004-2008, although our style was heavily informed by the Rolling Stones, Chic, ABC, and Sam & Dave. Funkier than our peers.  The well-known venues Rush Hour Soul played around Los Angeles included The El Rey, B.B. King's Blues Club and The Hard Rock Cafe. Our travels in Britain took us to Sheffield, Liverpool, York and back to London. There was a four day detour to Monnow Valley Studios in Wales where recorded in the old manor house. We shot a music video in London, as well. 2006 was a magical summer for the band. In 2008, the project was rechristened as a solo recording under my n...
