I realize I failed on posting anything of relevance for shows this week in San Diego. Well, I failed to post anything at all. I really don’t know how Kristen does it… I was drowning in school work until today.

I do have a show announcement or two that I know of off the top of my head…

Tonight: Get Back Page featuring… Gregory Page, Kevin Martin and Chris Wilson of Get Back Loretta, and Joe Cardillo and Rich Dorotheo of Endoxi.

Tomorrow: Get Back Loretta @ The Casbah $8

And I’m sure you all know about Coachella this weekend which is where Kristen and I will be. Look for some video uploads and possible posts about the show. I’ll be sure to catch up with you lot next week. Promise!

Another New Video! – Crash Kings

Posted on by Amanda

The last several months have been chock full of my favorite bands releasing new music videos. This week, Crash Kings take on their single “Mountain Man”, a song that was on my best of ’09 mix. This LA based band has been touring around the country (most recently with Jet) and this particular song has been hitting up the airwaves around the nation. If you get the opportunity, please go see this guitar-less rock trio live. My fingers are perpetually crossed that they will play more hometown shows, but they are fast becoming one of those LA bands that are always on the road.

you’ll have to go here to see it:http://www.vevo.com/watch/Crash-Kings/Mountain-Man/USUV71000024

Go here for tour dates (they are at The Note in West Chester April 15th!!)

Listen and Love!
