It's 2009!!! Wooo hooo! Since, 2008 is officially, I thought it would be great to do a BEST OF 2008 show. After talking with listeners and other locals, I have made a list of the best songs by local musicians/bands from this year. ALSO, this will be my last show of the quarter at the 5 a.m. aka drunkards, insomniacs and surfers timeslot. Starting Thursday, Jan. 8 the Press Pass Music show will be on at noon to 2 p.m., of course every Thursday. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

The OC Music Awards live showcase also starts on Tuesday, Jan. 6. Please see below. The show is free too! That means starting this Thursday on my show, I will be bringing on a band that will be playing in the upcoming showcase. I will be judging the live showcase so that means you will find me at every showcase starting next week. Hope to see you there. Come say hi, lets talk music and show your support.



This is going to be an unforgettable year for Orange County music. : )

Press Pass Music in OC WEEKLY!! And this week

I used to be obsessed with wanting to write for OC Weekly and now the tables have turned: Press Pass Music is featured in OC Weekly this week!

The issue just came out today, so run to your local Wahoos and pick one up (oh and along with an OC METRO of course).
Check out the article:
Press Pass Music in OC Weekly

This is just the beginning for Orange County's music scene. We all have to pull together and really get our local musicians heard. We're on to a great start and I can't wait for what's to come.

As for this week's show, it's going to be a Local Holiday. I'm actually going to attempt at pulling an alnighter soooooooo wish me luck!

Happy Holidays and enjoy the time off... we all deserve a break.

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.

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!! ; )
