have i told you lately that i signed my first band? if so, i'll tell it again anyways!

DUKES OF DAVILLE! HELLLLLLYA! Life is good. Just found out they got placed in another big movie! and the album isn't even out yet! (i wish it were pushed up a bit - but hey - beggars can't be choosers!

Dukes Of Daville Sandwich! (me w/ Ric & James while recording in LA)



just found out they are going to be in the new Ashton / Cameron Diaz movie in Vegas::

What Happens In Vegas (movie preview) i'm sure you have seen all these commercials already - - - everyone has been calling me saying they heard Metro Station 'Shake It' in the same movie spots as well!

So either that music supervisor is either A) super awesome and apparently we love the same shit, i need to get in touch. or B) is my friend/and or a music supervisor that I've already been in touch with - both Dukes & Metro have been on about every Hell Ya! Mix of the past year!

i found this video interview w/ the dukes today - - check it:

Dukes Of Daville interview in the studio in Hotlanta between mixing/recording

Nothing is more satisfying than seeing your work come to fruition. I am still in shock that I'm even INVOLVED in this project, it's too damn good! Turns out everything ALWAYS happens for a reason, and I was meant to do just this!
I just can't wait till I can play it for everyone I know!! (you know i will now anyways - - that's just how i do things. the more people that know about it - the better right???? with that said, here's my new favorite dukes track - shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

DUKES OF DAVILLE - Beggin' (via yousend it link)

if you know who did this song originally - i'll give you a prize. ;) email or comment here if you know!

DUKES OF DAVILLE on MYSPACE

get to know VENUS INFERS (especially if you like Razorlight as much as I do)

I have been so f-ing busy that I forgot to give a quick recap of the last 1029310374 hell ya nights - - - so before I forget AGAIN - I wanted to quickly post about Venus Infers.

I first heard about this band from LARRY LITTLE from his kick ass TANKFARM compilation. Right away I loved the track, and when I saw a photo of the band I instantly thought of KINGS OF LEON. (hot)
These guys are damn good. I mean really good. I couldn't take my eyes off the lead singer for a number of reasons: 1) he's really pretty 2) he's really tall and super thin (*i like my rockstars to dissapear when they turn sideways!) 3) he's got some serious pipes 4) he started and played the whole set SHIRTLESS! SEE PHOTO

(mind you this is at the ECHO, i'm sure most people in the audience were put off by this, but I applaud them for having the balls to do it. Take that hipsters. If you got it, flaunt it! If you don't, create it! haha

So for fans of Johnny Borrell (RAZORLIGHT) & Kings Of Leon, etc.... this may be your new favorite band!

Hell Ya! October 25th Lineup (round 3)

Sorry Mighty Six Ninety - I am a terrible speller! This is the 3rd time I've had to revise this Tape Flyer for Hell Ya! Night (*which happens to be next Thursday, October 25th!)

Luckily I have smart friends that can help with Photoshop. Thanks to Ant, Evan, and of course JAX for revising the tape over, and Over, and again OVER. I hope 3rd time is the charm. If not, you will just have to live with the typos.

Good times, Great Oldies. Jax this FLOCK browser is saving my life. If you don't know, now you know!
