How to Start the Decade

Well, it's 2010. And that means it's time to make all these resolutions and whatnot that you will keep for a week or two, but forget about shortly after. However, I make this resolution to the 8 of you that read this blog... there will be more posts about music this year, and less posts about buttons and hiking. Why? Because 2010 is going to be a great year for music (and the start of a great decade).

You might say "You're just saying that because you are hard at work on a CD that will be released this year". True. But that's not the only reason.

We're just 4 days into a new decade and our friends The Steelwells are kicking off a month long residency at the Silverlake Lounge. Each week the show is free, and showcases a pretty sweet lineup of bands both local to LA, and to the pretty damn kickin' OC scene. If you saw them play after us at the last Hotel Cafe show, you know you want to catch at least one of the residency nights. Details are on their page.

As if that's not enough-- next Tuesday Magnolia Memoir kicks off a residency at Molly Malone's. If you've had the pleasure of seeing them live, you know that you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll pretty much have your face melted off by jazzy pop goodness.

I would advise all 8 readers of this blog to check out a night of both these residencies, so you can tell friends you saw these bands back before they blew up, and then of course get all elitist and turn on them once they have great success, which is totally my plan.

Anyway, just one way to kick off 2010.

Kisses!
