HALOS on Press Pass Music this Saturday!

So last Saturday, PPM live took a break but the show is back this Saturday yet it's only from 4 to 5 p.m. There is another basketball game at 5 p.m. But don't worry, you'll get your Press Pass Music fix because I'm working on launching a new Web site, logo and special online Press Pass Music Stripped Down editions 1-2 times a month featuring two artists each show.

This week, Halos will be on the show and this is definitely a show you do not want to miss because the band is playing BRAND NEW music that no one has heard, I think, and they will be playing a couple songs acoustic. So tune into KUCI 88.9 FM from 4 to 5 p.m. this Saturday.

And hopefully we will see all of you at Halos' next show at Chain Reaction this Tuesday for the OC Music Awards Live Band Showcase. It's free and all ages with The Colourist, Blok, Moostache and The Bolts.

Semi Sweet's new music video for "Sleazy"

Check out Semi Sweet's new music video for "Sleazy." Beautiful ladies...handsome gentleman...blood... a girl with balloons all over her body...Detroit Bar. It's got all your favorites, I'm sure. The title of the song alone is enticing. I think that's mostly because I've always wanted to call someone "sleazy" to his or her face but unfortunately never have. But when that day comes, I'm assuming that will also be my first punch in the face. ; )

Now, it's time to sleaze it up. <3 Ash

PRESS PASS MUSIC STRIPPED DOWN this Saturday!!!

You know I can't miss a show. I've never missed a Press Pass Music show or had a sub for it. It's mine, I love it and I'm still making it happen even though there is a damn UCI basketball game airing during my show this Saturday. I've created a special online edition of the show with a few special guests including I Hate You Just Kidding, Billy Kernkamp, Barrett Johnson and The New Limb. You'll hear some randomness, beautiful stripped down acoustic sets and pure craziness this Saturday at 4 p.m. The show will be uploaded right on my blog at that time and you can listen and download it. Plus expect videos and possibly photos from the studio session.


Here is a teaser for this Saturday's show. Enjoy!

Press Pass Music moves to SATURDAYS, 4 to 6 p.m.

YEP, the Press Pass Music show is moving to Saturdays from 4 to 6 p.m. I'm excited about the new slot because now more bands will be available to come in and I will be more relaxed, since I sometimes go from work to my show then back to work.

Hope you all tune in this Saturday on KUCI 88.9 FM! I will have The Relative Strangers on around 5 p.m. The band has residency at The Gypsy Lounge, every Thursday in January.

Thanks for all your support and thanks for listening!

Semi Sweet this Thursday on Press Pass Music!

This Thursday, female-fronted band Semi Sweet, will be on the show to talk about new music and their residency at Detroit Bar this month (every Monday). Also, guest DJ will be Albert Ching, an awesome local music writer who just interviewed Fullerton band The Steelwells for LA Record.

Hopefully, you checked out last night's OC Music Awards Live Band showcase at Detroit Bar. The place was almost to capacity with about 500 people showing their support for local music. I absolutely loved it. Every local show should be like that. And yes, I was super excited...running around hugging everyone...can't help that I love our music community so much. Next Tuesday is the acoustic showcase at The District Shopping Center in Tustin with Matt Kollar and the Angry Mob, Barrett Johnson, Billy Kernkamp, Stacy Clark and Canvas. It's free and all ages. Every show is free!!! Wooot wooooooot!

Anyway, I'm horribly tired and wonderfully excited still. Yeah, I was at the show all night long...judging and socializing...and yes, I had to wake up at 7:30 a.m. this morning. My resolution for 2010 is to LIVE LIFE MORE. If you want to do something, just friggin do it. Go for it, now.

<3 you all longtime,

Ash
