Who’s Playing In Your Car? Big Mommas CDs, Part 2

I heard about this band from San Diego long before I heard the EP or saw them live. I was curious… I knew their manager, a kick ass woman and a brilliant photographer , Ginger Kuroishi. I got the EP as soon as it was officially released and after listening to it,made a point to catch them live.I was NOT disappointed!!! They call themselves “punk damaged rock and roll” .. I call it good old American Rock and roll with a hard edge.  Listening to this CD brings back memories of mini trucking clubs, racing down Heil Street at midnight, concert caravans and Highway 39 Drive-in. Bobby Ray Octane’s powerful and versatile vocals remind me of  the man in black on metal steroids. The guitar, drums,and bass are such a well oiled machine that it’s often hard to believe , at times,that it’s not one giant instrument. Yet, each and every member of this band shows incredible talent, driving their craft right up into your face. An absolute must see, must hear… see for yourself why they are in Big Momma’s player!!

Is Local Music Dead?

For The Last Time: Rock Is Not Dead, You’re Just Not Paying Attention Of course, there were those who argued that rock died before. Rock critics like Richard Meltzer and Nic Cohn believed that rock’s evolution from the wild-eyed innocence of early rock ‘n’ roll. Don McLean echoed these sentiments in the corny FM radio staple “American Pie,” in which he coined the phrase “the day the music died”.

Some people say it is but here are some of the bands i listen to and follow in my scene.

Like “Ronny North”

Or Betrayed by faith.

and Delta Doom
