Hollywood Holiday [Show Recap]

Hey Soul Mates,
yes, it was a fantastic show. We played our hearts out and wowed the crowd with two new songs. That we only rehearsed in full last night. The band looked really sharp, too. I had on my layers of berry and my vintage vest from the Netherlands. Doug rocked the purple and black. Bryan sporting shades had on his trademark Cavern black, including skinny tie. We're very excited because not only will you get to see the whole concert on the Gig's website, but we had the show shot by a pro videographer in HD (Christo, you're going to love it). Action!



Here's the set from tonight's show:
U Had The $
Everyone's Ingenue
Sucka
I Can't Cry For You
Everything My Heart Desires
Down By Love
Roosevelt's Revue (debut)
Fall Out
Raspberry Beret (cover)

A Talent For Loving

That being said. It was also a dismal failure tonight. We would like to thank everyone who came out to our show...

Jen T.
Kristee L.
Patty T.
Gabe G.
Blake Mc.
Garner K.

Oh, and
Mari B.
Jana M.
who arrived in time for our finale.

Yep. That's it. That's everyone who came to see us tonight. Oh, but it gets worse. There was one other person there to see us. The Vice President of a real record label. I'm sure we impressed with our turnout. Ha ha. We certainly hope that our performance was impressive. In fact, I'm pretty sure that was our swansong at the Gig. Many thanks to the owners and management of the Gig for supporting us and our Quixotic quest for the last couple of years.

We know that there are hundreds of fans who want to see us in the U.K. We hope that we'll get back to entertain them again next year. But at this rate, it's slow going. The band's expenditures for this show topped $400 (Doug of course is doing the 8 hour drive back home as I write). We certainly did not get paid to appear at the Gig. But before we do any sign-off sermonettes, we've got one more chance to show and prove at the
Good Hurt on Jan. 12, 2007. Be there. Please. In the meantime, power up your browser and head to the Gig and be amazed!

By the way, Doug and Bryan agree and sanctioned the tone and content of this e-mail.
Love, Power, Peace

That was the sweetest and yet saddest blog I've ever read.

I hope you truly realize the love you guys have given me by creating and playing such great music.

I will always and continue to be your biggest supporter in whatever you do!!

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...
