LISTEN to Press Pass Music's ONE-YEAR Anniversary show AGAIN!

Thank you to Albert of OC Weekly, Monica of @KillTheMic, Kyle and Tyler (Tyle????) of We Are The Pilots, Joshy of Yellow Red Sparks, Trisha and Ryan of Honeypie for all stopping by, making cupcakes and brownies, bringing champagne that we unfortunately could not drink at the station, playing the ukulele, talking all at once and guest DJing (kinda). It was a blast...and chaos all at once but I love you all and really appreciate you being on the show today.

VIDEO from Thursday's show! 15 musicians perform "HEY JUDE"

LISTEN to the jam session on Press Pass Music show AGAIN!

The jam session/potluck party to celebrate the KUCI Night at eVocal in Costa Mesa this Saturday was a GREAT success! Four bands, We Are The Pilots, honeypie, Yellow Red Sparks and The New Limb all came into the studio and not only indulged on yummy food but played music/talked about their music. THEN the show ended with a BANG. All 15 musicians from all four bands performed a beautiful rendition of The Beatles' "Hey Jude." The show was epic and a great deal of fun. It's rare to get that many bands in one room and for them all to act like they're BFFs.

To listen or watch the video, please see below. HOPEFULLY we will see you all on Saturday night at eVocal. Show starts at 8 p.m. The cover is $7 and well worth it. Also, the Red Bull ladies will be stopping by.

Love you longtime.

HONEYPIE on the CW Network's "One Tree Hill?"

YES, it is true. Orange County-based band honeypie will have their song "Never Get Enough" on the CW show "One Tree Hill" this Monday at 9 p.m. Even though lead singer Trisha Smith recorded the tracks last year, in the last few months she has pulled together a great band of talented musicians and they played their first show in March for the OC Music Awards showcase. Congrats to honeypie and hopefully we'll hear more songs by them on the CW Network. Now, tune in at 9 p.m. tomorrow (Monday).

BTW honeypie is playing eVocal in Costa Mesa this Saturday w/We Are The Pilots, Yellow Red Sparks and The New Limb. And it's a KUCI Night too! You know what that means! It will definitely be a very good time. Also, all four of these bands are going to be on Press Pass Music this Thursday to celebrate the upcoming show. Expect some jam sessions and even a collaborative cover song? Hmmmm...should be interesting.

What happened at last night's OCMA Live Showcase??

Last night was the first Orange County Music Awards Live Showcase at Chain Reaction in Anaheim. The all ages venue opened its doors to six bands and over 130 fans. The bands included We Are The Pilots (on my show last week), Moostache (on the show this week), Dolphin City, Halos, Twentyfour64 and Franki Doll and The Broken Toys. I FILMED each of these bands so if you missed the show... then I got some enticing videos that will make you definitely want to go to next week's show at Chain Reaction. Don't forget the showcases are every Tuesday!

I have to say the funniest part of the night was when Irvine-based band Sail Heezer ( who I played on last week's show and had 20 of their fans call in pretending to be different people and saying how much they loved the band) found me at the show and then I introduced them to Albert Ching, OC Weekly music editor- also the one who answered most of those calls when he was on my show last week. And I was pretty excited to hear that all the members in the band either go to or graduated from Uni High in Irvine -- graduating class of 2004 baby! I had to throw that in there. ; )

On this Thursday's show, I'm talking to The Jakes and Moostache... ALSO I have tickets to give away for next week's OCMA Live Showcase and to Thursday night's Dusty Rhodes and The River Band show at Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa. Call in: 949.UCI.KUCI.
