Dog Day Week

Hey Soul Mates,
hope you are all feeling the cooling trend this weekend. It was almost too hot & humid for L.A. to take. We have been busy preparing for our show at BB King's. Sounds like a lot of you are planning on attending. That's what we like to hear. It'll be even better to see you in the flesh. We are going to play our hottest songs and coolest jams, so come on down. Make a night of it. BB's makes some mean BBQ. Of course, they have a real dance floor, so wear some good shoes. We want to see some moves! Oh and fellas, you all were heavily out-numbered by the ladies last time. Hm-Hmmmm. But to quote James, "I Don't Mind."

As for the music, we will be debuting our new greasy slice of RHS called "U had the $." It's about a sweet girl we all know. Or is it? We'll be doing your favorite sing-a-longs, too. Thanks to Patrick Kershaw, I have seen the video of our show at the Good Hurt. Wow. That was a fun gig. When it comes time for the chorus on a couple of songs, you all are louder than the band. That's HOT! Needless to say that's the way we want the shows to be from now on.

All right, I gotta put down the computer and pick up the bass. This new one has a wicked bassline I have to sing with.

Love, Power, Peace & A/C

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...
