GBJAN2017

Think of Nashville, and Country Music comes to mind, and Hot Chicken, or the TV show of the same name. It's a city that's growing fast. A city with pockets of little scenes. A number of cool music venues and record shops that you can count on one hand. So where's the cool rock 'n roll bands? Enter: The Tip. Four dudes walkin' and talkin' it, just like how they were raised, on doses of AC/DC and Aerosmith. Oh, and the singer, Benny Carl likes to fish. He's got a boat. Anthony Bourdain should've hooked up him and the band on his recent Parts Unknown episode in Nashville last year. They could've gone out on the lake, caught some, and then fried up some catfish. The Tip is real rock 'n roll, that good time stuff. Listen to this months podcast here and meet the boys. Glambone also has vinyl copies and cds of the bands new release "Sailors Grave" to give away. All you have to do is join me on Instagram or LIKE the new Glambone page on Facebook, and tell me why you like The Tip.


GIT YOU SUM!

Look what glam dragged in. GB returns with an all new holiday episode, so unwrap this present for some surprises. We start off with the art-glam stylings of David Devant & His Spirit Wife. Circa 1996, when Suede was coming up through the trash, My Life Story were getting suited and booted, and Nancy Boy checked into the deep sleep motel. "Cookie" savors Roxy here, for your pleasure and mine.
Rewind 8 years prior to the Sunset Strip as we unearth the band SOHO. They formerly went by the name of Radio City, guess they loved NYC, and rightfully so. The band delivered their demo to me at the time, containing only two songs - "Backstreet Lover" and a gem of a ballad that you'll hear now called "Captured." Not much else is known. Maybe they changed their name to Tribeca.

GB-SPRING/SUMMER-2016

It seems like Jean Beauvoir has seen and done it all.  An integral part of New York City’s rich music history of the 70’s with The Plasmatics.  One thing he’s most proud as he reflects on that band is “we transcended genre, transcended color, being a black bass player with a blonde mohawk in a band where things were really segregated for one thing I think was an important point of The Plasmatics.  When people left the show, it was something they’d never forget.” 
Then he goes solo with Drums Along The Mohawk, which might’ve thrown his fans for a loop, but clearly proved he had ambitions beyond punk.  “This thing of black artists only doing R&B, I didn’t believe in that.  Even the blonde mohawk kind of played this racelessness opinion that I had in something I wanted to portray,” he says.  Soon after,
bands like King’s X, Living Color, Dan Reed Network all emerged.  Jean believes he helped pave that road.
Find out the details of how his collaborations with Paul Stanley came to be.  Songwriting still at the core of Jean’s work, recently reaching a #1 last year on Billboard’s world chart with Korean recording artist Jonghyun.

GB-SPRING-2016

Joey C. Jones could have easily been one of those names spoken in the same sentence alongside Vince Neil, Bret Michaels, Jani Lane, when talking about L.A. rock n' roll frontmen.  He had all the labels approaching him and his former bands.  Enigma, Atlantic, Warners, producers like Tom Werman wanting to work with him.  His story is one of those crazy rock n' roll rides where one silly mistake or bad management led to heartache.  In this podcast he discusses the sweet little victories of Sweet Savage..."selling out 2500 seat rooms all over the Southwest just based on our promo photos" he tells us.  And how Gene Simmons was the first guy to approach them for his start up label Simmons Records.  But there are some glories along the way... co-writing and records 10 songs with Rick Neilsen and Robin Zander is not a bad thing.  Hell, it's a great thing.  And Joey is getting ready to finally release the record that's been in the vaults.  Saturday night, March 5th, Joey will have a live stream of a show featuring his band Shock Tu, playing to a 5000 capacity crowd in Texas.  Check his site for further info.  Right now, this Spring episode awaits.  Download the interview here.

GB FEB 2016 - Interview w/KK of TAZ

Practically every musician we’ve interviewed on Glambone has remained being a musician in some form.  But what happened to all the Sunset Strip bands that reigned supreme that never went on to great heights beyond a local level?  Do they still yearn for that time, is there bitterness about not making it, how many have gotten out of music completely?  Taz seemed poised to contend with any major label act at the time.  But after the band called it quits, for their singer KK, that was basically the end of the pursuit.  He says “Taz was it for me, those guys were my brothers, we went to battle.  Taz was there for a short amount of time, in an era that was awesome to be part of.  When I left, I couldn’t see again being on stage with anyone else, it wouldn’t have been in my heart, I just couldn’t do it.”  And while he can own those words now, he’s ok with that.  Life has taken him on another journey.  Listen on to hear his story.  It’s a Glambone episode about the good times before and after.  Download it here.
