Article on Aushua in the OC Register

Hey you guys,

There's an interesting article on Aushua in the OC Register. Now I know why I haven't heard or seen anything about them playing shows. This band is pretty damn incredible. I saw them at The Viper Room over the summer. It makes me so angry that they were doing so well and about to play Carson Daily's show and then lead singer Nathan Gammill is jumped and beaten outside a bar in Orange in mid-September. I hope this inspires him and the rest of the band to write and produce even better music.

Check out the article: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/band-gammill-says-2241195-songs-put

Have a nice week,

Playlist for show 11-29-08

Hey there,

Happy Thanksgiving weekend! Well, I went to a few shows this week and celebrated the four-day weekend with a little bar hopping. Monday I saw The Sweet Sweet Things and Francisco The Man at Detroit Bar. I talked to CJ, guitarist for The Sweet Sweet Things, and bumped into Luke Allen of Gemini Studios. Then I discovered the band Walk In Medical, who is featured in this month's OC Weekly as is our KUCI music director Sam (his name's on the cover -- Heck yes!). Check it or don't. It's free. Also, OC Weekly has releasec a free local music compilation -- download it at: http://blogs.ocweekly.com/heardmentality/oc-weekly-local-music-compilat-2/

On Tuesday, I went to my favorite pub The Auld Dubliner in Tustin and sang "Seven Drunken Nights" with the Humble Hooligans, who I played on the show. On Wednesday, a few friends and I started the Thanksgiving celebration around 2 p.m. and ended at Del Taco at 2:30 a.m. It was a busy week. : )

Playlist for 11-22-08 -- Hong Kong Six's new ablum and the surf report.

Well, another show bites the dust and here's the recap of what happend: I played Hong Kong Six's new album "Once Upon A Time In The West," throughout the show, and tried to adhere to my surfer listeners needs by throwing in some Japanese Motors and a surf report. It was a fun show. I usually record my show but the stupid computers in the studio were all messed up and ended up not recording it. urggggg!

BTW I'm looking for local surf music so if you know of any please email me: ashleyeliot@yahoo.com.

Next week, I don't have classes... so lets party. Hopefully I will be going to bunch of shows this week, maybe I will see you at Detroit Bar or La Cave. ; )

Have a beautiful weekend and don't forget to check out your local music scene...it will do wonders for you.

Hey!

This week I will be playing Hong Kong Six's new album "Once Upon A Time In The West" throughout the show. Also, expect some music from a few new bands I discovered this week. Maybe we'll even have a surf report and rock out to a local surf band Japanese Motors. OH and I will be talking a little bit about the how the Sound Downtown Music and Arts Festival went last weekend.... lets just say I wasn't too impressed with the organization and structuring of the fest but at least the music was awesome.

Tune it. Let me know your thoughts and I will tell you mine.

Have a great weekend. I'm going to see Matisyahu tonight and the Grove of Anaheim... if you're there and you find me then we're hanging out. Also, tomorrow night there's a free show at Slidebar in Fullerton with Venus Infers... check it out.

Loving music longtime,

There's going to be other KUCI Dj's some people from the magazine I work for and a whole lot of good people.

The Halloween after party at Press Pass Music - Show #5 - 11-01-08

Happy Halloween Weekend!!!!!!!!

So here's what happened:
I was up at 7:30 a.m. Friday and stayed awake until 8:30 a.m. Saturday. It was my first alnighter while I have been a DJ... and oh it was a good time. Dressed as my alter ego aka Wonderwoman, 5 ladies and I party hopped in Newport then to Huntington.....ending the night at a friend's house at 3 a.m. playing Rockband and singing Pat Benetar. I went to the show still as Wonderwoman.... I played Halloweenish tunes by local musicians and passed out when I got home.

Then last night, my friend Nina and I continued the celebration by going to a lame club opening in Newport Beach but we walked right in and walked right out.... and rushed over to Durty Nelly's for some karaoke! We rocked out to Pat Benetar's "Heartbreaker ( yes, I have been obsessed with this song all weekend.... but you know I would have sang Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" if someone hadn't sang it already). Here are pics from last night... since I have a feeling the third member of our trio who assisted with our routine will be checking out my blog, well if he knows what's good for him. :P Oh and we also met McLovin!! ; )
