Mixing Is Completed, Demo Almost Done

Hey Soul Mates.
Today was a big day in RHS history. We finished mixing our new demos. All 3 songs were completed this afternoon down in Santa Monica. We got to beat the heat for a few hours, too. (Special thanks to Chris H on the big board.) You will get to hear the songs very soon; even sooner if you come to the next show. We have already fast-tracked the rough versions to our new industry contact who is a major record producer. The new recordings will be making their way to you in the coming weeks. We still have one more step, mastering, to complete the project. These are very exciting times.

If you are a member of the Soul Mates, watch your e-mail for the Evite for the BB King's show. (Out-of-town members, we have to limit the number of invitations to local addresses. But, thank you for your unending support. We hope to get this show out on the road to your state very soon!) BB King's is a really sweet venue. I mentioned this in my blog on his birthday, but I saw Prince play there in 2003. In fact, I stood next to Morris Day the whole time. BB's is no joke! This is a great opportunity for you to see us in a super setting. It's also a chance for us to prove that we can open for national acts that roll through BB King's. But we need your support.

Please be sure to RSVP, even if you are not attending for some inexplicable reason. And forward the Evite to your friends... the ones you know can get dressed to impress. We are hoping to have some heavy hitters from the music industry at BB King's. You need to come and party with us. That's right!

IN CONCERT: RUSH HOUR SOUL and the PRETTIEST FANS IN LOS ANGELES.

Thanks to you all for your loyalty and love. The last show was such a hit and it was great to see a lot of new faces, too. Hands down we have the most beautiful fans in LA (Other bands, don't hate them 'cause they're beautiful)!

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...
