DigiVegas 123 - Liquor Boxx

My guest this week is Chicago band Liquor Boxx. These guys play just straight up rock 'n roll, no chaser. What really impressed me about them is the decision they made to just "go for it". They hopped in their van one summer with only a single non-paying gig booked, and decided to stay on the road for several months. They booked as they went. That takes some serious stones if you ask me. Check them out on episode 123 of DigiVegas.

DigiVegas 122 - Femi

My guest this week has been performing in the Oakland, CA underground scene for years. Her music has been defined as neo-funk & soul but its roots go much deeper with an infusion of afro-latin/carribean rhythms, jazz, hip-hop, salsa and rock, blending perfectly to create a unique sound all her own. Her debut solo CD Sweet Water Soul is impressing music lovers and critics alike. (That doesn't necessarily mean that critics are not music lovers or that music lovers aren't critics...) FEMI joins me on episode 122 of DigiVegas to share her music, her history, her thoughts on music education, as well as her desire to have the show's fans name my drum kit! I've had the thing for about 3 years now, and it never dawned on me to name it, um...him... her.

DigiVegas 121 - The Respectables

Melodic Power Pop? Sure, but with a Detroit difference. With raspy vocals, nitro-fueled guitar solos, straight ahead four-on-the-floor drums, the assembly line is now cranking out brand new Motor City rock in it's finest traditions. Songs that get to the point in a hurry and stay with you long after the three minutes are over. R-E-S-P-E-C-T for The Respectables? Absolutely!

Check them out on episode 121 of DigiVegas!
