\"Nathan<\/a>
\n<\/a>Let\u2019s talk new music, local bands with new records include The Barrelhouse Wailers, Night Demon, \u00a0and Nathan McEuen who just got distribution through Fontana (Universal) and will be under the Mesa Blue Moon record label this spring.\u00a0 Nathan just hit the road for his Rocky Mountain Tour through March.<\/p>\n

If you were smart, you caught the Global Guitar Greats showcase last year during Ventura Music Week at the W Gallery.\u00a0 These three amazing guitarists (Stephen Inglis, Thomas Leeb and our very own Shawn Jones) have gotten together to produce an EP called \u201cCommon Ground.\u201d These guys are truly masters at their craft.<\/p>\n

Records darn close to being released, \u201cButterflys and Snakes\u201d from Crooked-Eye Tommy (Tommy Marsh) and \u201cThe Ballad of Johnny and June\u201d from the Mighty Cash Cats. Michael Jay tells me the CD has several duets and originals on it; they\u2019re in the processing of mixing it now, they\u2019ll also be touring soon leaving for Ireland in March. \u00a0A hip hop release from Double Dragon is in the works featuring Ronnie Rivera and Joaquin Cortez.\u00a0 Kyle Hunt is back on the scene and back in the studio with a new project called Brothers Fortune. \u00a0Phil Tibbs from Curtsy told me they\u2019re in the mixing phase of their first release and they\u2019re looking for an early summer release. Rene Ponce let us know that the Stoneflys are working out of Colourbox Studios recording their second release; Jeff Evans producer.\u00a0 And it looks like KC Mobley (Nylus, Catwalk) has been working with Armand John Anthony (New Liberty) in the studio; that should be interesting!<\/p>\n

I also got wind that Peter DiStefano (Porno for Pyros) has a new project; he confirmed yes he\u2019s working on a new EP out of Camarillo.\u00a0\u00a0 Jessie Rhoads (Stegosaurus) who\u2019s also done a ton of songwriting and composing for film and TV has been working on his latest the past couple of years but he\u2019s pretty close to releasing it; he\u2019s also looking to perform locally here in Ventura.<\/p>\n

And finally, what\u2019s up with the new TOOL record?\u00a0 Well you can personally ask Danny Carey, drummer, next time he plays with Doug Webb at Squashed Grapes which is Friday, February 13.<\/p>\n

Just so you know, the good folks behind the Open Jam Night at Billy O’s have moved their jam night from Tuesday to Thursdays starting February 5 to The Garage on the east end of town and will continue marketing it as “Music Club”.\u00a0 The first rule of music club:\u00a0 No pre-existing bands.\u00a0 The second rule of music club:\u00a0 No Douche Bags.\u00a0 Sounds right to me.<\/p>\n

And finally, Riot Act Records gave me the head\u2019s up that they booked a last minute show at Bombay\u2019s on Thursday, February 5, with one of their acts out of Portland, Grand Lake Islands.\u00a0 She said to think \u201cRadiohead with a slide guitar.\u201d\u00a0 Touring with them is Robin Bacior whose new record \u201cWater Dreams\u201d was just premiered on CMJ (College Media Journal, THE indie bible).<\/p>\n
