SUMMARY:Hobo Johnson & The Lovemakers
DESCRIPTION:ARTISTS\n\n\nHOBO JOHNSON & THE LOVEMAKERS\n\n \n\n\n\nSOCIAL LINKS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREMO DRIVE\n\n \n\nREMO DRIVE have had a lot of time to think. \nSince releasing their debut album\, GREATEST HITS\, in 2017 (later re-released in 2018 by Epitaph Records)\, brothers Erik and Stephen Paulson have been pegged as one of the most captivating acts in the new-era indie rock scene\, mixing the musicality of bands like Weezer\, Title Fight\, and The Police with the idiosyncratic lyrical tendencies of the genre’s more modern movement. \nGreatest Hits\, along with 2018’s POP MUSIC EP\, took the band around the world with the likes of Saves The Day and Hippo Campus. All that time spent on toll roads and tarmacs left the brothers endless opportunities to think about how far their band had come in a short time – as well as plan for the future. \n“I spent a lot of time asking questions and looking inward\,” Erik says. “It taught me a lot about who I was and who we wanted to be as a band.” \nPerhaps most importantly\, this time to reflect showed Remo Drive what they didn’t want to do on their follow-up. While Greatest Hits overflowed with wide-eyed nativity and whole-hearted enthusiasm\, NATURAL\, EVERYDAY DEGRADATION (due out XX on Epitaph) finds the Paulson brothers crafting a sturdier brand of indie-rock. \nProduced by Joe Reinhart (Modern Baseball\, Hop Along) and mixed by Peter Katis (The National\, Interpol)\, Natural\, Everyday Degradation doesn’t burn the Remo Drive playbook – it calibrates it to highlight the band’s true strengths. So Erik’s lyrics are still just as emotionally resonant and universally relatable as they were on Greatest Hits; here\, though\, they’re far more intentional and precise. Instead of letting off-kilter turns of phrase and nervous energy capture listeners’ ears\, Remo Drive allow their confidence to take center stage. \n“Our first record was so much fun because it felt like we were breaking out of a box\, mostly our local music scene\,” Erik says. “But almost as soon as we did that\, we started feeling constrained by where we found ourselves. We wanted to keep thinking outside the box and finding our own unique voice.” \nInstead of digging back into their more obvious influences for LP2\, the band (solely the Paulsons for the first time ever) spent time exploring albums from the likes of The Killers\, Arcade Fire\, and Bruce Springsteen – timeless artists who do more than just write songs: They tell stories\, and this new way of approaching Remo Drive immediately made a mark on the songs the duo wrote. \n“If Brandon Flowers actually did the things he wrote about on the first Killers album\, he’d be in prison\,” Erik laughs. “You don’t have to always write about yourself. You can tap into your emotions and use them to tell stories instead.” \nSo while the first-person pronouns can’t always be traced back to the band directly this time\, Natural\, Everyday Degradation still deftly encapsulates the growing pains unrelegated to a specific generation\, musing on topics like self-identify\, mental health\, and a burning desire to prove doubters wrong. \n“None of the songs are that wild\,” Erik demures\, noting the album’s title was in part inspired by Salvador Dalí’s iconic painting “The Persistence of Memory.” Perhaps that’s true\, but while Remo Drive circa Greatest Hits found the band looking longingly beyond their suburban Minnesota hometown\, Natural\, Everyday Degradation is them on the other side\, soundtracking the long drives and relentless touring with life’s bigger questions. \n“There’s sadness in routine\,” Erik says\, referencing the song “Around The Sun\,” an ode to touring. “Even in the happiest of situations\, we’re losing valuable moments or time. All these songs are about some sort of warped existence\, but through that\, I think we ultimately find we can be whatever we want to be.” XX\n\nSOCIAL LINKS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSO MUCH LIGHT\n\n \n\nSo Much Light is the alt-pop project of Sacramento native Damien Verrett. It’s pop music with eyes on magic; a mixture of contemporary dance & pop production\, with one foot firmly rooted in the fantastical. His latest album\, ”What Happens Now?”\, is set to release Summer 2024

SUMMARY:DWEEZIL ZAPPA
DESCRIPTION:DWEEZIL ZAPPA\n\n \n\nDweezil Zappa was born on September 5\, 1969 in Los Angeles—the son of Frank and Gail Zappa. It was inevitable that from the moment of his birth his life would be filled wall-to wall with music (his father having listed his religion as “musician” on Dweezil’s birth certificate). Dweezil’s early years were spent largely away from the spotlight—something of a rarity for the child of a celebrity\, but perfect for cultivating a close relationship with his family. \nHaving watched his father perform concerts from the side of the stage since he was in diapers it was no surprise that he began to show an interest in music early on. At 6 years old he received his first guitar\, a Fender Music Master from his dad. It wasn’t until he was 12 that he began to show a serious interest in manipulating the instrument to make music. \nHaving primarily heard the music his father was working on or listening to at home while growing up\, Dweezil soon found himself exposed to some new sounds on the radio. Besides his father’s music he began listening to the Beatles\, Queen\, AC/DC\, Led Zeppelin\, Black Sabbath\, The Who and Jimi Hendrix. Like many aspiring guitarists of his generation\, Dweezil ‘s ear was caught in a stranglehold by the trailblazing guitar styles of Edward Van Halen and Randy Rhoads. He listened to their records for hours on end trying to figure out a way to translate what he was hearing in his head to his fingers at the other end of the guitar. Along the way\, he had opportunities to ask his dad for some help. “I remember asking Frank to help me figure out the song ‘Revelation/Mother Earth’ from Blizzard Of Oz. I really didn’t know anything about chords and in that song Randy Rhoads was using classical music elements that were really new to rock guitar at the time. Frank helped me learn the finger picking intro.” To gain more fundamental knowledge of technique and scales Dweezil was fortunate to have some assistance from one of the musicians in his father’s band at that time\, Steve Vai. Dweezil became remarkably proficient in a very short amount of time due to his intense practicing sessions. \n“Steve made a notebook\, which I still have\, of scales and exercises and I practiced the stuff from that book at least 5 hours a day.” In 1982\, at the age of 12 he made his first onstage appearance with his father’s band at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. “That was a great experience. I was so excited to have been asked to play but I was incredibly nervous. Since I could only really play lead in the key of A\, Frank devised a hand signal for the band to modulate the song ‘Stevie’s Spanking’ down to A from it’s original key of B. After I finished my solo he gave the cue for the band to modulate back up. It was so cool how he had so much control over the music\, it almost seemed like a magic trick to me. It made a big impression on me and has stuck with me my whole life.” \nLater that year he recorded his first single\, “My Mother Is A Space Cadet”\, released on Frank Zappa’s Barking Pumpkin label. The amazing story behind that recording is that it was produced by Edward Van Halen. (On the sleeve it is credited as being produced by De Vards in order to avoid any contractual issues for Van Halen.) \n“There are no words to describe how inspirational it was for me to be able to work with Edward on that recording. I was 12\, a novice player and in complete awe of his super human accomplishments. I had a terrible sense of rhythm and he tried really hard to help me with that. I had only been playing for around 9 months and I had never practiced with a metronome. He was funny in the studio. We were all so young\, just 12 and 13 and Edward joked that it was time for us kids to have a milk and cookie break. When I played the solo on “Space Cadet” Edward worked on getting the right guitar sound. That was one of my favorite parts of the session. We were using one of Frank’s brown Acoustic combo amps. \nHe had 5 or 6 of them that he was using on tour and Edward played through all of them to see which one sounded best. At one point he was teaching me about doing punch in over dubs\, he explained that I had to play along with the parts that were already recorded so that it would seamlessly blend with the new part I was about to record. I remember it being very difficult to do since the stuff I played for the solo was not worked out ahead of time. I did the whole solo with all of the finger tapping stuff and vibrato bar dives. Edward made up a cool part that he showed me for after the solo that lead back to the vocal but I couldn’t bend the unison notes in tune since my hands weren’t strong enough. So he ended up playing the unison bend melody after the solo. The slide guitar intro came about around then as well. I couldn’t play that in tune either since I had never played slide before and it’s a specialized technique that takes a long time to master. He played that intro as well. Watching him do that stuff was so impressive. I did all of the other guitar stuff that you hear on the record” \nIn 1984\, Dweezil contributed guitar solos to both “Stevie’s Spanking” and “Sharleena” on Frank’s album Them Or Us. \nIn 1986\, Dweezil made his debut in Hollywood as an actor with his role in the classic 80s film “Pretty In Pink.” 1987 saw Dweezil raise his profile further with another film role alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mick Fleetwood in “The Running Man.” \nIn television he worked as a guest MTV VJ. During that same period he recorded and released his first full length album\, Havin’ A Bad Day. This album contained the single “Let’s Talk About It” which featured Moon Zappa on vocals and found itself on regular rotation on MTV. The video featured cameo appearances from Frank Zappa\, Robert Wagner and Jane Fonda as well. \nAround this same time\, Dweezil made his own cameo appearances on records for a variety of diverse artists. He played a solo on the Fat Boys “Baby You’re A Rich Man”(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ipzj_FvHgT8)\, as well as on the Grammy Nominated cover of “Wipeout” with Herbie Hancock and Terry Bozzio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INdKbZB1mBA) from the “Back To The Beach” film soundtrack. He was asked to join Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bonnie Raitt in contributing guitar performances to Miami Vice star Don Johnson’s solo album. While Dweezil actually played on the song “The Last Sound Love Makes” it was his appearance in the video for Don Johnson’s single “Heartbeat” that would most notably link him to the project. \n1988 saw Dweezil sign a deal with Chrysalis Records\, releasing his second album My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama. The title track and video\, a cover of the Frank Zappa single\, found it’s way into the MTV rotation. More TV work followed in 1990 Dweezil and Moon Zappa starred with Laverne And Shirley legend Cindy Williams in a sitcom for CBS titled Normal Life. \nWith the release of his third album Confessions in 1991\, Dweezil began to branch out musically\, blending his heavy rock approach with touches of his father’s distinct compositional insignia. Guest appearances on this album pointed the way toward the future for Dweezil\, including contributions from Nuno Bettencourt \, Gary Cherone and Pat Badger of Extreme and legendary guitarists Warren DeMartini\, Steve Lukather and Zakk Wylde as well as Frank Zappa sidemen Mike Keneally and Scott Thunes. Both Moon and Ahmet Zappa also added vocals to the album. \nThere were a handful of live shows played to support the Confessions album. That tour saw the band develop a unique set of skills and usher in the birth of a remarkable non stop medley that grew to contain 200 songs performed in 20 minutes. \nAfter completing the Confessions tour Dweezil formed a new band and project with Ahmet called Z. The band was primed to make a new album. Just as the band started to solidify the drummer Josh Freese exited. \nArmed with a mountain of material and no permanent drummer the band entered the family owned rehearsal space called Joe’s Garage and rehearsed with several different drummers who ended up playing on tracks for the new album. Those drummers included Terry Bozzio\, Mark Craney\, Toss Panos\, and Tal Bergman. Rather than move to a studio they set up for recording rehearsals. The band recorded over 3 dozen tracks at Joe’s Garage. The “Shampoohorn” album was completed in 1992 but awaited it’s release over a year later. It was eventually released with 2 different track listings. \nThe band featured Mike Keneally and Scott Thunes and initiated it’s new permanent drummer\, Berklee School Of Music-trained drummer par excellence Joe Travers before departing for a world tour. Thunes departed later in 1994 and was replaced by Bryan Beller who had attended classes at Berklee alongside Joe Travers. The band toured the US and Europe\, and in 1996 released a follow-up album\, Music For Pets\, which had been pieced together over the previous three years. By the time of the album’s release\, both Beller and Keneally had left the band and Z gradually ceased to exist. Dweezil stayed in the public eye however with several projects including composing the theme music for the Emmy Award winning Fox television show “The Ben Stiller Show” and on camera TV appearances including taking the role of Ajax in the Klasky Csupo animated series Duckman and a TV series for the USA network called Happy Hourwhich he starred in alongside Ahmet. \n2000 saw Dweezil issue his first solo album since 1991’s Confessions with the release of Automatic. By this time\, Dweezil’s musicianship had come full-circle as he showed off his guitar virtuosity with eclectic all guitar orchestrations of “You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch” and “Hawaii 5-0.” \nIn 2003 More television work came about as Dweezil formed a band for the Warner Brothers unconventional improvisational comedy “On The Spot” and performed live in each episode.http://www.dweezilzappaworld.com/videos/36 \nHe also composed the theme music for the WB series “The Jamie Kennedy Experiment” and composed dozens of tracks for the music library Extreme Music. Many of these track are heard on various television shows around the world. \nThe next several years saw Dweezil preparing to take on an extremely difficult challenge—bringing his father’s legendary music back to the concert stage. In 2006\, some indication of what could be expected surfaced with Dweezil’s next solo album Go With What You Know. The album featured Dweezil’s most creative\, advanced guitar work to date and he was aided by the propulsive brilliance of Joe Travers as well as keyboardist Aaron Arntz and bassist Pete Griffin\, who would soon become mainstays in the live band Dweezil was putting together. \nFinally\, in the spring of 2006\, Dweezil’s new live band ‘Dweezil Zappa Plays Frank Zappa’ hit the road for their first\, tour. Playing a long\, ambitious set of Frank Zappa favorites and obscure gems to big audiences of crazed Zappa fans\, Dweezil proved that he could reach his goal to form a core band of previously unknown expert musicians capable of respectfully executing his father’s music. He was uniquely qualified to bring these compositions back to life with complete authenticity from the page to the stage. Helping to deliver the goods was his absolutely stellar band of first-rate musicians including Joe Travers\, Pete Griffin\, Aaron Arntz\, brass/woodwinds/keyboards/obvious fan favorite Scheila Gonzales\, percussionist Billy Hulting and guitarist Jamie Kime. \nWithout a “cosmik crystal ball” it was impossible to see to how far into the future this project would last. Bearing that in mind Dweezil decided to add some extra frosting to the cake and invite some former FZ band members to join him on the inaugural tour. The earliest DZPFZ tour included band alumni Steve Vai on guitar\, Napoleon Murphy Brock on tenor sax and lead vocals and Terry Bozzio on drums. \nThis lineup was captured in the group’s first Dweezil Zappa Plays Frank Zappa release on CD andDVD in 2008. This project netted Dweezil his first Grammy Award win for Best Instrumental Performance for its version of the Frank Zappa classic “Peaches En Regalia”. \nIn 2007\, the tour continued and new elements were introduced. Ray White joined the tour on vocals. This lineup of the band recorded their next live release Return Of The Son Of… which was issued under Dweezil’s name in 2010. Once again Dweezil found himself up for Grammy contention when the version of Frank’s guitar solo “The Deathless Horsie” was nominated for Best Instrumental Performance. \n2009 saw DZPFZ undergo its first major personnel changes. Both Aaron Arntz and Ray White left the band and were replaced by keyboardist Chris Norton and Ben Thomas on lead vocals and trumpet. The band continued their run of successful worldwide tours\, playing to devoted fans and showcasing a constantly-changing selection of Frank Zappa compositional gems. In October 2009 the band started to become known as Dweezil Zappa Plays Frank Zappa\, and in 2010 they embarked on a US tour during which the band played one of Frank’s best-loved albums\, Apostrophe (‘)\, in its entirety. \nConstantly learning and evolving his guitar art\, Dweezil Zappa is both the modern face of Zappa music and the person who can bring it fully-formed into the future. \nIn 2011 he released a double CD album on U.K. label Fantom Records: ‘Dweezil Zappa – Live In The Moment’ which is a compilation of improvised guitar solos taken from various DZPFZ shows since 2007. His own music had been sidelined for a while but is currently experiencing a resurgence. 2012 will see new releases of Dweezil’s own music (both classical and rock genres) and the continuation of his music boot camp Dweezilla\, as well as another new release from Fantom Records simply titled “F.O.H.” – a live double CD featuring Dweezil Zappa Plays Frank Zappa performances of Frank Zappa songs. \nIn 2012 Dweezil redefined Dweezil Zappa Plays Frank Zappa’s mission as a band and sculpted it into the current 6 piece configuration he takes on tour. (Dweezil Zappa Lead Guitar Vocals\, Scheila Gonzales Saxophone\, Flute\, Keyboards and Vocals\, Kurt Morgan Bass and Vocals\, Chris Norton Keyboards and Vocals\, Joe Travers Drums and Vocals\, Ben Thomas Lead Vocals\, Trumpet and Trombone.) When his father toured with smaller ensembles he referred to them as his “Rocking Teenage Combo.” Smaller in size doesn’t mean smaller in sound. Not for Frank or Dweezil. Now able to tour in even more cities and venues because they can fit on stage easier\, Dweezil’s rocking teenage combo has been navigating through new geographic and musical territory. This fine assortment of hand picked musicians all have their own unique qualifications but it’s their dedication to preserving and performing the detailed music of Frank Zappa that unites them and thrills audiences across the globe. \nDweezil’s proudest accomplishments are as father to his two daughters Zola Frank Zappa (born 2006) and Ceylon Indira Zappa (born 2008). He lives in Los Angeles.
