Band
stuff: We finished shooting concert video footage for four of our songs -
1. Bite My Tongue
2. Buried
3. I Want It All
4. Spark
We are in the throw's of an image
change...You will love the look. Brian went with black hair, I went with
white, Jon went completely bald, and Eric went...well it is a surprise.
We are moving into a new
phase and are looking forward to all of the cool stuff that will happen
shortly.
Stuff from the first ever
"Bass Talk with Abe and Lane" ...
| About Bass Talk Live - http://www.basstalkradio.com/ |
|
Calling all Bass Players! Welcome to Bass Talk
with Abe & Lane™, the greatest Bass Hang EVER!
We broadcast on ReailtyRadio.biz
every Sunday evening, from 6-10p.m. central time.
Spread the word, y'all, 'cause this is going to be a
flat-out blast!
So . . . what do we mean by "coolest bass hang
ever"? Well, basically, Abe and Lane - with the
technical help of Hayden James (CTO, Darenden
Enterprises) - are going to hang out in the studio
with several friends, and call a bunch of other
friends. And they're all going to talk about stuff . .
. maybe even bass! LOL...
Actually, they'll talk a lot about bass -- how
to play it, take care of it, amplify it, make a living
at it, and much more. But they'll also talk
about life in general, on and off the road, including
road stories, hobbies, favorite places, and whether
Angus or Malcolm Young is the best guitarist in AC/DC
and why. For instance:
Our first
show
featured Bass Master and Father of Metal Funk TM
Stevens, who was
kind enough to call in while driving to a Birthday
celebration. OK, that right there is worth the price
of admission, you know? (Uh, we're free, by the
way.) I mean, come on, we're talking the cat
who can stand tall behind everyone from James Brown to
Steve Vai. . . and has shown us all how to blend
styles to create a unique voice that no one can mimic.
We're talking Living Legend, OK?
But then, we also had The Snow Owl, Juan Garcia-Herreros,
drop in via Skype from Vienna, Austria, Rev Jones (of
Black Symphony, Steelheart and a bunch of others)
called from backstage at a Geroge Thoroughgood
concert, and Uriah Duffy called while taking a break
between work with Whitesnake, Flametal, Lyrics Born,
etc..
Then, there were also
Craig Murray from Sacramento to talk a bit about his
"Rock School" Digital Multimedia program at
Rio Linda High School,
and Dennis Michaels calling in from somewhere in
Deleware, after playing a gig opening up for a
fireworks show, calling in to rant about in-flight
peanuts for ten minutes! (It was a riot; you had to be
there.) Roy Vogt and Sean O'Bryan Smith, both
incredibly talented solo bassists and both columnists
for
Eden's
School of Music, as
well as John Billings, who, when taking time off from
the comedy stage, tours with the Disco Queen herself,
Donna Summer. David "Eden" Nordschow,
founder and Chief Propellerhead of Eden Electronics (major
sponsor) gave us a call while waiting for the grill to
heat up so he could burn some chicken. The Empire
Productions crew even spent a few minutes in front of
the mics and camera.
Oh, that's right. Did I
mention we have a web cam in the studio so you can
watch live? Right in the same media window that opens
when you click to listen. And you can do that on
Reality
Radio or Bass
Talk Radio, the
companion web site to this Space. Also on the web
site, you can click on "Peek In the Studio"
on any page and go to the Today's Show to see
pictures and grab links that go along with everything
being discussed.
Then, of course, there's the music. A cut from TM's
latest offering, Africans in the Snow, which
was just STOOPID COOL!, as well as several tracks from
Sean and Roy, even a mix from Lane's latest project
with
Deeper
Blues. Then there
were the deep cuts Hayden found in his
seemingly-endless vault of tracks. OK. . . there's the
general picture. A bunch of friends hanging out,
yakking it up about their lives and careers, listening
to music and generally goofing around. And you
get to listen in! How cool is that?
Remember, every Sunday, 6-10p.m. central time. Look,
unless you've got a gig - and it could happen! -
there's nothing better to do to warp up your weekend
and get ready for another Monday. It's free, and it's
as close as your computer. We'll see you there!
As always --
AIM HIGH. PLAY LOW!™
