Craw Cajun of All Hail The Yeti

 

Ever the renaissance man, Craw has brought forth another very cool solo song/video for the original composition “Stumblebum”. The eclectic track  is accompanied by an eye catching video which was  a collaboration with his wife, Kat Ford NeQuent. For more information about the art of Kat Ford, visit http://www.corpirate.com.

“Stumblebum” is a track that will have you tapping your foot and clapping your hands along with Craw. I thoroughly enjoy this creative side of my good brother Craw, you too can enjoy the video right here:

I know I have said it before the music industry is a small small world. I received a text the other day from Crowned By Fire guitarist Justin Manning about Monte Pittman getting in touch with me about some things. At the same time Monte messaged me about said things. We got in touch and managed to set up this interview. In the course of our conversations we also found out we have a lot of friends and contacts in common. Enjoy getting to know Monte Pittman right here:

Straight out of Sweden: GAIN ELEVEN!!!

2013-07-17 Gain Eleven Logo-page-001   Sometimes you just happen to come across some cool stuff. Today I received an email that went to my junk file. I am glad that I look through my “junk” emails before trashing them. I saw an email from Vidar Solli telling me about his band Gain Eleven. G11profbild   He hit me up and suggested I check out the track for “Devils Child” on YouTube. I did and found that it was a pretty cool track. We befriended each other on Facebook and began a conversation. I found out that Gain Eleven was a four-piece band hailing from the west woods of Sweden.   Comprised of: David Flognman (vocals & guitar), Vidar Solli (lead Guitar), Martin Andersson (bass), and Hannes Liljedahl (drums), Gain Eleven fits right in with bands like Black Stone Cherry, Royal Republic, and Foo Fighters. The band formed in September of 2012 and began gigging their way around Sweden. They self-financed a three song EP and set their sights on exposing their brand of hard melodic rock to the world. G11musicstage G11 chalmers          It is with great pleasure that the Hellion Rocks introduces you to Gain Eleven with the hopes that people get behind and supports these hard working guys from Sweden. Do yourself a favor and check out their track “Devils Child”  right here:

Weighing in on the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS performance at the Super Bowl

Having been a RHCP fan since their inception in the early 80’s this topic has my attention. I have found the Red Hot Chili Peppers to be an evolutionary band, constantly evolving and never becoming stale or stagnant. I have also  been fortunate to have seen them live on several occasions. Their live performances are always top notch and high energy. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have never compromised who they are and what they represent, always making the music they wanted to make and having the image that they themselves were most comfortable with.

While the band itself has varied in members at times, they have never let it set them back, delivering poignant music time and again. They have never hid  who they were  even to the point of publicly talking about their personal situations.

Their Super Bowl performance has been called into question regarding the “prerecorded” music and “mimed” stage antics. Flea responded with an open letter regarding it yesterday ( https://thehellionrocks.com/2014/02/04/a-message-from-flea-regarding-the-red-hot-chili-peppers-super-bowl-performance/) and I applaud him for that.

We all know of “live” performance disasters and I don’t think this was one. I think the Red Hot Chili Peppers made the best of the situation and delivered a high energy “show”. If you doubt them go see them live, you’ll see.

Bruno Mars? Well, that’s a different story….

 

it’s loud, it’s funky, it’s the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS!

 RAT PAK RECORDS SET TO RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM FROM THE NEW SUPERGROUP “KXM” FEATURING: GEORGE LYNCH, RAY LUZIER (KORN) AND dUg PINNICK (King’s X)

ImageProxyImageProxy (1)

 

A new musical force to be reckoned with is about to turn the rock world upside down with the release of their self-titled debut, KXM. KXM is comprised of dUg Pinnick of King’s X on vocals/bass, George Lynch of Lynch Mob/Dokken on guitars and Korn’s drum maestro, Ray Luzier, rounds out the powerhouse trio. The band takes its name from the combination of the member’s other projects: K from Korn, X from King’s X and M from Lynch Mob.

The self-titled debut of KXM is something truly unique and special. The songs are powerful, precise, and transcend beyond the boundaries of the imagination. In today’s overpopulated music arena, true gems become harder and harder to find, but KXM‘s unified vision rises above the normal and creates its own space. From the opening drum riff of “Stars” to the final chord on “Human Friction,” KXM is an album that is sure to resonate with fans from the band’s original projects, while garnering new ones as well. Songs like “Gun Fight,” “Faith Is A Room” and the first single “Rescue Me” are sure to be instant favorites among fans. The band shows their softer side on the ballad “Never Stop” along with their dark side on the tale of domestic violence, “Sleep.”

KXM formed in early 2013 when dUg, George and Ray spoke about trying to jam together. At the time it wasn’t clear what would come from those jams. The only thing that was clear was that these 3 musicians, at the top of their game, wanted to play together. The self-titled debut, KXM, was born from those jam sessions and is now an important piece in each band member’s musical legacy. In a world that constantly searches for new and unique music, KXM delivers all the power and punch that one would expect from these high level players! Official release date is set for March 11, 2014
