We're coming to get you...

Hello friends,

I really need to post more stuff on here. I can't believe my last blog entry was about 10 months ago!

Just to update you on some stuff... I am happy to announce that I am bringing the printed version of REAL BOSS HOSS back! Yes, friends, you read that correctly! After 10 years I've decided to bring back the print version so you can laugh, cry, scream, and hate me all over again... I have lost contact with most of the contributors from that first issue, but do not fret, friends. We have some DYNAMITE new writers and contributors to add to the fun!!

We are also sort of doing live shows again... not as regular as in the past, but we found a new home over at VIVA CANTINA in Burbank, CA. We recently did a few showcases there with tremendous success!! We hosted a few record release parties: The South Bay Surfers back in July, Thee Cormans and Thee Tee Pees back in October and an out of control 50th birthday party for none other than our soul brother-in-arms Colonel Rob Schaffner from legendary MONDO VIDEO AU GO GO which packed the house to the ceiling rafters with amazing sets by THEE CORMANS, THE BLOODY BRAINS, THE SOUTH BAY SURFERS, and the legendary KIDS OF WIDNEY HIGH. Our last shindig which happened last weekend was packed before the first band hit the stage... by 9:30 the place was shoulder-to-shoulder! We hosted another party to welcome the great Michael Kaiser back to California (unfortunately he's not here to stay - he's only visiting)... Our best pal Russell Quan's new band THE CHUCKLEBERRIES, which includes guitarist extraordinaire JAY ROSEN (Muskrats, Legendary Stardust Cowboy, Dukes of Hamburg), suave bassist/backing vocalist Dave Kurtz, and singer/dancer/all around awesome dude Dave Seabury RIPPED it up!! With thee mighty Herman Senac on drums, THE BLOODY BRAINS left jaws on the floor with their fury! THEE CORMANS again blew the roof off the joint! I love those guys!! Our Deutsch pals and REAL BOSS HOSS facves, THE TEUTONICS again left the crowd wanting more... and our new pals THE BLACK BOOTS were an awesome new addition to our family.

I promise to pay more attention and do more updates as stuff happens...

Stay tuned for more rock n roll!!

The Return of the Dukes of Hamburg! April 23rd @ Mr. T's Bowl

Yes, that's right kiddies! REAL BOSS HOSS is back for one special night of rock n roll!! Like I mentioned before... I've been so bored with the music "scene" in LA that I had to bring it upon myself again to do something about it. I asked my good pals to see if some of them wanted to play LA and sure enough they responded... THE DUKES OF HAYWARD (formerly Hamburg - they moved to Hayward, CA) are doing a special LA show for yours truly to celebrate my 38th year of life. Along with THE DUKES OF HAYWARD will be more awesomeness from the Bay Area (not sure who) and the best of the best from LA. More details will be forthcoming soon...

Stay tuned for more rock n roll.

Downliners Sect NEWS!!

After 47 years - the release of "Bright Lights Big City" - intended to be the Downliners Sect second EP - will officially see the light of day! Let's thank our lucky stars!! The tracks are taken directly from the master reel-to-reel tapes found in a box that some guy found on eBay... The EP will be released on HAND OF GLORY. You can only get them through the website as they won't be sold in stores, so make sure to order your copies!! The tracks will be: Bright Lights Big City/Rock n Roll Music/Do The Dog/I Need You Baby

If that wasn't enough good Sect news, then strap in for this one! The Sect will be visiting the colonies this year. They are scheduled to play the PONDEROSA STOMP in September in New Orleans! So start saving up your coins and let's all go visit and bow down to THE SECT!!
