The Misunderstood: The Californian Garage Band Interviewed About Their Time As Rock 'N' Roll Stars.
They started as just three kids from California, who all shared a mutual respect for Surf music. First formed as the ‘Blue Notes’ in 1964 with Greg Treadway and George Phelps on guitar and Rick Moe on drums, the trio was short-lived. While the group were still just as enthralled by the waves of that sunny-state sound, the ‘Blue Notes’ never got to any gigs and their musical tide had gone out. With most of the members spending more time with their surfboard than their band equipment, the former o
Celebrating 50 Years Since Neil Young Played Live At Massey Hall 1971
Quick blog post today as I'm mid assignments at the minute but I couldn't not mark this occasion. With the time I've had not posting on here, I've been thinking of what I could write about as I've been lacking inspiration with everything that's going on right now. I thought about writing a piece on an artist that inspired me. Where to begin. Naturally, my all time hero Neil Young came to mind and just out of pure chance I thought I would see if there was any anniversaries of albums, concerts or
BLUES MAESTRO ROCKY ATHAS TALKS WORKING WITH JOHN MAYALL, TOURING WITH THE KINKS AND WHAT GIVES HIM THE MOTIVATION TO WRITE MUSIC.
For this week's blog post, I got the pleasure to speak with the legendary Rocky Athas. Rocky Athas is a phenomenal Blues guitarist who's worked with the likes of Joe Walsh, Buddy Miles and Glenn Hughes. Not to mention that he was apart of the renowned Bluesbreakers band with John Mayall and even worked with him on his albums 'Tough' and 'A Special Life'. Athas is a huge inspiration to any musician, he has dedicated his entire life to creating some pretty electrifying records. I simply had to ask
SHADE INTERVIEW: MANCHESTER MUSIC SCENE, MMFEST AND EXCITING NEW PROJECTS
We're just 4 lads who have some pretty cool songs and want to play them everywhere we can, it was more for having a laugh with your mates playing music but then we've realised we can take it further than that.Luke (the singer) and Oliver (the drummer) were in a small pub cover band from the age of 13 to 17 and Adam (the bass player) was in a punk band called Kalian but we all ended up coming together to start SHADE.It's been unreal, we've been on loads of radio stations without even asking. They
DAVE SIRUS TALKS SNL, UPCOMING PROJECTS AND WORKING WITH PETE DAVIDSON ON THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND
It was great because I got to see someone who was completely comfortable in his role and had so much experience so that nothing was ever going to surprise or rattle him. Knowing that he had so much under his belt really makes it easier to feel comfortable and trust the process.The sheer quality and quantity of available food throughout the shooting day.I think the realistic aspect of portraying someone like this. The way we were able to give an entertaining version of something that is very seri
HOLLYWOOD OR BUST REVIEW
"Well, Mr Bascomb can’t drive. He doesn't have a license!"
Land of stardust and land of glamour, Vistavision and cinerama. I would consider it a must to watch Hollywood or Bust! All puns aside, the pure joy this film gave me was like no other. I have never laughed so much in a seriously long time and I owe it all to the fabulous duo known as Martin and Lewis (Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis). I’ll have to confess my ignorance in saying I’d never seen a Martin & Lewis film up until this point. I mus

Behind The Lens: Tom Gundelfinger O’Neal on Photographing Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and the experience that started it all, at Monterey Pop Festival.
As a big Neil Young fan, naturally, Tom Gundelfinger O'Neal is one of my favourite photographers. His ability to capture those perfect moments in time is a great gift that he has, and one that allows people of my generation to be able to immerse themselves in this particular time period. When you look at Tom's art and photographs, you are transported into the lives of the individual in the portrait. I asked him if he would chat with me, and I was so excited when he agreed. Before we were about t
The woman who styled your favourite ’80s teen movies
Costume designer Marilyn Vance knows a thing or two about creating iconic looks for the movies, having designed Julia Roberts’ red gown in Pretty Woman and collaborating with John Hughes on many of his cherished coming-of-age features. From Ferris Bueller’s leopard-print vest to Bender’s flannel shirt, Vance has a knack for lighting up the screen with just the right fabrics and colours.
