Morning Edition

Hey Soul Mates,
what a wild, past 24 hours. Be sure to read the 2 previous blogs about our upcoming podcast interview. We are just one week away from our set at BB King's. I hope you've picked out something super-sweet to wear. Only 7 more shopping days. Ha Ha. I suspect that everyone is coming correct. You know we will. We got word yesterday that the CDs have been shipped, so there will be CD's at the CD release party. And there will be record executives, too. Time for RHS to rize!

For those of you who haven't responded to the Evite, you should. This helps us gauge how many people we can expect to see in the audience and how we can prepare the club. This is also the easiest way to get the RHS discount at the door. When you RSVP yes (or even, maybe), we place your name at Will Call to get in for $10. If you aren't coming we aren't mad at you, just select that you can't attend. Also, when you answer the Evite, be sure to take part in our polls. We have two questions up right now. My favorite is with which hip-hop artist should we start some beef?

Of the 21 responses (including one write-in) the tally goes:
50 Cent - 9 votes

Fat Joe - 7 votes
Malcolm McLaren - 3 votes
Oaktown's 357 - 1 vote
Mike Jones - 1 vote
Shawn "Rappin' Duke" Brown - 0 votes


Make sure to cast your vote. It's the best way for you to voice your opinions on the direction of the band.

Finally, after several requests, we have posted a
"hidden" lyrics page on RHS.com. Now you can learn the words to our 5 most recent compositions. Be sure to sing nice and loud at the show, that really is impressive to 3rd parties and it warms our hearts. The songs include the EP tracks, as well as new additions U Had The $ and Everything My Heart Desires.

Have a groovy Friday. So corny, but true.
Love, Power, Peace

p.s. I'd like to wish a Happy 80th Birthday to our benefactor BB King. Long live the Blues Boy!

Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins (Review)

I'm just in from the world premiere of Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins . WHRJ is the new comedy starring Martin Lawrence, directed by Malcolm Lee ( Roll Bounce ; Undercover Brother both underrated and well-worth your time) . It's the story of a Hollywood hotshot who takes his new fiancee and his son to his parents' 50 th wedding anniversary/family reunion. Mr. Lawrence as usual shows off his comedic genius. He has steadily become a sure bet in Hollywood. This time Lawrence is flanked by a cast of stars that at times threaten to steal the movie. Mike Epps (Reggie, a straight-up fool) and Mo'Nique (Betty) in particular shine in their roles as cousins to Lawrence's talk show king, RJ Stevens aka Roscoe Jenkins. The gift of gab runs deep in this family. Michael Clarke Duncan has never made me laugh so hard as Otis, Roscoe's unlikely little brother. Anytime the three of them were on screen the audience's laughter drowned out the dialogue. Watch for the softba...

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...
