On The Rebound Extravaganza Recap

Last night at the Federal Bar, the jump-off began for ON THE REBOUND. There was a great crowd and a great vibe. The band was introduced by our guest DJ, Richard Blade who spun the most amazing 80's set before and after. I have to express a lot of gratitude to the amazing musicians, the Inimitables as I call them, for their support. They allowed me to get unhinged. It helped that we were all in our 80s age of excess and extravagance styles. What an honor to share the stage with them and to share a lead vocal with Evie Sands on a classic Sam & Dave tune.

The lineup:
Adam Marsland (keyboards, guitar & vocals)
Teresa Cowles (bass, vocals)
Kevin Jarvis (drums)
and the singular and legendary Evie Sands (lead guitar, vocals and co-lead on Hold On, I'm Coming)

It was great having DJ Bonebrake (drums), Larry O. Williams (saxophone), and Bryan Farrar (guitar) in the house; even though they did not play. They all contributed a lot to the album.

The show featured the world premiers of several songs (denoted by *) from the new record. ON THE REBOUND will be available on Oct. 2! So get ready.

Last night's set list from the ON THE REBOUND extravaganza:

So Sophisticated *
A Talent For Loving
Your Majestic Rejection
She's My Go-To *
Our Love Is Known By Name
Done Lost My Mind
Supermodels With Gatling Guns
Hold On, I'm Coming (featuring Evie Sands)

Special thanks to all of our friends, fans and family who attended. Spread the Good Word about the music you heard last night. Every connection helps take the music further and further into the Universe.

Big thanks to Paul Brown for video taping (clips to follow).

And extra thanks to the Missus (Happy Birthday!).

Love & Music,

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-time-hard-b

Hello, Dali! (Now with 50% More Photos)

Hola , Soul Mates, I'm feeling very jet lagged. Just got back from Espana . Catalunya and Andalucia to be more precise. I even learned Catalan ( jo parlo catala , amics ) and spoke it in broken fashion to amused natives. But wait, here's proof... It's me at the Dali Teatro - Museu in Figueres on Salvador's birthday. The place is more funhouse than museum. This objet d'art was hidden in a stairwell. I call it "The Crowned Peacock Dreams of Genie." Dali lived here. He's buried here. I'm being idiotic here. Genuflecting or posing? Felicitats , Salvador! It was his birthday and I was the only one celebrating. And yes, I did sing "Happy Birthday" to him. Another installation that defies explanation. But it's got a real crocodile and a real light bulb and artificial limbs involved. What's not to like? Seems like every town in Catalonia has some sort of memorial to John Lennon. This sign had fallen off (no, I did not keep it), s

Jim Brown: G.O.A.T.

Yesterday, I met the Greatest of All-Time in his profession. It's not everyday that you see one, let alone get to interact. Of course, the encounter is nerve-wracking for the fan and probably tedious for the G.O.A.T. Thanks to my friend Steve, we got to visit the field prior my hometown Cleveland Browns ' matchup against the Chargers in San Diego. I had hope to see some of the old new Browns and get some pictures. I also had a small bag with a couple of mini helmets inside it and figured, these guys wouldn't mind that someone actually cared for their autographs. As we walked around the sideline, I sized up my options. Not a lot of players on the field yet. And it was hot. Probably around 95 and I had on a jacket to cover up my vintage Brian Sipe jersey. Lo and behold, who do I see holding court at the far end but the Greatest football player... Ever: Jim Brown . A true legend. The man whole holds a record book full of milestones. Star of the silverscreen. Community activist
