Horror in the Wind comes to the Guild
I’m a sucker for just about any movie made in New Mexico. This one sounds like a hoot, but it’s definitely not family fare. It is a comedy about two biogeneticists who invest an airborne formula that reverses the whole world’s sexual orientation. The entire cast and crew is from New Mexico so you might see a familiar face (or other body parts). It was shot in High Rolls, Tularosa and Alamogordo - set in the future when Pat Robertson and James Dobson are President and VP of the United States. Their campaign theme of The War on Sex backfires in hilarious ways. Cast and crew will be there in person for each of the screenings. Friday screenings are at 11pm; Saturday and Sunday at 1pm. Directed by Max Mitchell, 2008, 89m. View trailer here. Screening Fri-Sun, Dec. 12-14

When I left my house to go swimming, one of the first “things” I saw was a hawk circling very high in in a skyblue sky. Our winter day had grown warm. The lama’s stood in their corral watching over the neighborhood. The pool was closed. Clean up time after a hectic holiday. My swim buddy though brought me a book Choose the Right Word by S.I. Hayakawa. She found a copy and got it for me as it has been one of her most helpful resource books for writing. Her best gift provides continued support and encouragement for my adventures in writing.

Pool was closed and I had the perfect opportunity to return home, eat, and work. That was a fleeting thought. I drove over to Open Hands Resale store. They offered a great sale on clothes. I didn’t discover anything I wanted. I wandered over to the books as easily as a carrier pigeon flies home. A couple of younger booksellers were considering what they could buy to sell on ebay. I began letting my eyes scan titles. Suddenly, I had three books: not for resale. One an anthology of May Sarton’s writing would sell for at least $15.00. Another, by Nicholas Evans called The Divide, not a big reseller, and the third by Annie Proulx, That Old Ace in the Hole. I am pretty certain I haven’t read it yet. Just checked, I bought the same Sarton book last week! Since today’s books were on $0.25 each, it doesn’t matter.

Clear Light Books Gallery has moved next to Open Hands. Harmon Houghton has been in business for 20 years. He is primarily a wholesale book distributor. His small retail store holds lots of wonders. He also gave me a tour of the warehouse. He has a special section where returns or slightly “damaged” books sell for $5-$10. If you are in Santa Fe, the new address is 851 West San Maeto. Online you can find him at: www.clearlightbooks.com

Harmen Houghton presented the gift here as he talked about business. I also found a great book, Health for LIfe, Secrets of Tibetan Ayurveda by Robert Sachs. Foreword by Dr. Lobsang Rapgay. It’ll be a perfect supplement for my healing journey, and may open my eyes for suggestions to customers.
If you love Tibetan books or books about Tibetans, this store is great. Ditto for Dee Brown’s books on the west, Native American studies, stories, and more, and books about New Mexico. These are only a few areas of interest for Mr. Harmon Houghton.

I stopped at Alfanoose Cafe, 1412 Second St, just down the road from Clear Light. You heard of stories about the less than fancy restaurant with amazing food: Alfanoose fits the bill. Very reasonably priced, it offers Middle eastern meals at very reasonable prices. I had a bowl of fava beans, a half order, that was very good! I’d love to know the recipe. You might have to wait some as they prepare food from scratch, and to the suggestions of the guests!

I remembered that a friend had told me of a place where I could find old prints at reasonable prices, at Steven’s, A consignment Gallery. 2701 Cerrillos Rd, Santa Fe. It was like walking through another old world. I did not find any wondrous deals, but I did run into an old co-worker from Hastings. He’s working in the movie biz now, and may have a directing job soon.

The sun was on it’s way to set and temperatures rapidly dropped. I went to my Feldenkris class and witnessed a fantastic sunset. After class a good friend and I went to the Hidden Chicken for dinner and to catch up on our news. It’s on St Michaels Dr behind Kinkos. If you pass Pacheoco, you’ve gone too far.

Here’s your weekly update. Yeah ABQarts.org for keeping us ready for splendor.

Deborah Donelson featured at Matrix
One of my favorite local artists opens at Matrix Fine Art with a show titled Tracks/Traces/Vestiges. Donelson’s oil paintings feature female subjects that are sometimes part animal and part other. Known for large scale canvases, this show features some pieces as small as 10×10 so if you have been an admirer of her work, now is your chance to add her to your collection. At least go by and meet her and see the creations of her imagination. The reception is part of First Friday Artscrawl openings across the city.

Miguel Zenón Quartet at the Outpost
There have been few new voices in the jazz world that have caused as much of a stir and possessed as much individuality as saxophonist, Miguel Zenón. A native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Zenón studied at the famed Escuela Libre de Musica, and later at the Berklee School of Music where he received numerous awards and honors. He became active in the Boston jazz scene and gained professional experience with drummer Bob Moses’ Mozamba Ensemble and the Either/Orchestra. After graduating from Berklee, Zenón received a Masters Degree from the Manhattan School of Music. In his relatively short career he has performed and/or recorded with a diverse array of artists including David Sanchez, Danilo Perez, Charlie Haden, The Village Vanguard Orchestra, Bobby Hutcherson, The Mingus Big Band, Steve Coleman and Branford Marsalis. In 2004, Zenón became one of the founding members of the SFJAZZ Collective with whom he has toured the US, Canada, Asia, and Europe. As a leader, he has released four CDs including Jíbaro, which features a bold reinterpretation of the rural music of his native Puerto Rico and which helped earn him the overall Best New Artist award in the 2006 JazzTimes poll. He has been on the top of the Downbeat Critic’s Poll in the Rising Star Alto Sax category for four years, including most recently in 2008. This year, Zenón recieved a fellowship from the prestigious John Simon Guggenheim Foundation to work on his next project, which will focus on the Plena music of Puerto Rico also releasing Awake, which features Luis Perdomo, piano; Hans Glawischnig, bass and Henry Cole; drums, all of whom will be performing with him.

Letters of Honor in recognition of Veterans Day
The New Mexico Department of Veterans’ Services (NMDVS) is honored to announce the premiere showing of a unique documentary movie about New Mexico soldiers sent away to war-and their heartfelt letters to loved ones back home in New Mexico. Letters of Honor will air Sunday November 9th on Albuquerque public television station KNME. The hour-long documentary will tell highly-personal stories in the soldiers’ own words, in letters to–and read on camera by–loved ones and family members. The letters are from soldiers serving as far back as World War One (two featured letters in the documentary) to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Footage of actual letters, old photographs, personal mementos, and stunning shots of the New Mexico landscape combine to make Letters of Honor a powerfully moving tale of the soldiers’ love and longing of family-and sense of duty to their country. Directed by Tony Martinez, a 1975 graduate of Santa Fe High School. He made Letters of Honor as a labor of love not only for his own father, but for all New Mexican soldiers who’ve fought in battle.
Airing Sunday, Nov. 9 on KNME-TV, 3pm

So the old song goes:…
It doesn’t really matter the lyrics, as we have an opportunity to get out there and cast our ballot. I am sick and tired of recent events, and the scare tactics, and the military units ready to handle riots from this election. Sounds like a foreign country. One group that the government is really fearful of is low income minority voters. EEE! In 2008 this should not be an issue. Hey if you are part of this group create long voting lines all across the country and vote vote vote. Scare the beje…s off the the nice white guys who are quivering once they see you arrive. Intimadated by squads of cop cars in your neighborhood around the voting center? Come in large groups, with plenty of ID’s, your mothers, grandmothers, and your ministers. Bring cameras and come early and vote.

If you live in one of those states that do not order enough ballots, especially for YOUR neighborhood, then get out 1) early: vote EARLY if you can. 2) Go to nearby white neighborhoods and vote there, 3)
on election day, camp out hours before the polls open so that you will be one of the first. Bring warm clothes, food and water, and be prepared anyway you can.

Go to www.democracynow.com to listen to updated information on what is happening. Also if you are a person of color, bring white friends to the polls. If you have any uniformed friends like local police officers, invite them too. Bottom line: don’t let anyone stop you from voting this year.

All young voters who are registered: we need your help. Your numbers are so great you could change the direction of this country. Stand up for your beliefs while you can. It could be the launchsite of a great party. Go vote with 10 or more friends, and then go out to your house and celebrate!

I voted today! Come join the ranks of early voters.

After my d.o.m. appointment, I was very hungry, and the rain came pouring down. I laughed and grinned about our wonderful rain. After monsoons, it often is very dry. This year we are blessed. As thunder accompanied the rain, I decided to eat out since I wouldn’t be able to work online. I went to Maki Yaki just off St Francis Drive. Near Albertson’s and Zia Rd. I ordered the Calamari and Veggies Tempura. It came with a lettuce salad, steamed rice, and a cup of miso soup. All for $9.17. I enjoyed the mixed inter-generational crowd. SOme young men who looked like gang kids, took time to go over to a tired old man, and inquired about a basketball team. A tourist guy or a travelling biz dude with maps (30’s maybe)…swallowed fast a meal on the run. Some young women arrived for take out and chatted with the “gang” guys. Two folks in their 50’s chatted for a long while before the “rush” came in. See what a little sushi can do in Santa Fe. Great food, good service, and very fair prices keeps everyone stopping by. Remember the take out, the platters, and catering too!

Rosalie Sorrels returns to the Outpost

Grammy-nominated folk legend Rosalie Sorrels returns to the Outpost in a tribute performance to her late friend, Utah Phillips. Her latest CD, Strangers in Another Country: The Songs of Bruce Utah Phillips, is a celebration of Phillips’ timeless body of work. A lengendary singer, songwriter and storyteller, Sorrels has been described as having one of the most wonderful voices in American music. She began her career as a folklorist in the 1950s but at age 19 left Idaho, got married, had 5 kids, and became a housewife for 14 years. When her marriage ended, she decided to go on the road as a folksinger, taking her children with her. She has recorded over 20 albums, written 3 books, and is an outspoken hero for the folk counter-culture. Now 70+ and in semi- retirement, Sorrels lives in a cabin built by her father in the mountains outside of Boise, Idaho. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear one of the legends of folk music (and watch/listen to this video on you tube).

Free Screening of Iron Jawed Angels at the Guild
Rainbow Artists and the Guild Theater invite you to a free screening of the this powerful HBO movie ‘Iron Jawed Angels.’ It is a graphic depiction of the battle these women waged so that I could pull the curtain at the polling booth and have my say. It is jarring to watch Woodrow Wilson and his cronies try to persuade a psychiatrist to declare Alice Paul insane so that she could be permanently institutionalized. And it is inspiring to watch the doctor refuse. Alice Paul was strong, he said, and brave. That didn’t make her crazy. The doctor admonished the men: ‘Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity.’

NM Women look at the theatre section there are some new plays by and about women, including an Albuquerque group. We should all show up just because they really need our support. Feminism may not be “In” for most circles. However our creativity goes way beyond trends, popular culture, and random PI boundaries. I’ll bet that you laugh a lot as well. Come one, come all genders, come all, have a night out at the theater!

These videos are not from the plays I mentioned but opens a few doors. So go to the plays to see NM style. Have fun.

Occam’s Razor: All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best.

Artist Statement

All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best. William of Occam

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein

After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in aesthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are always artists as well. Albert Einstein

Albert and the Electromagnetic wave is one painting in an ongoing series entitled Desire. The paintings in the series are designed to do the most with the least, which is another way of stating Occam’s Razor. Many of the paintings refer to physics and famous physicists. Art and science have different constraints, but the link is creativity and imagination. I am working with that connection.

As a teenager Einstein performed one of his first thought experiments. He tried to imagine what it would be like to ride an electromagnetic wave. The wave illustrated in the painting is derived from the math. Most of the jute is left raw. The palette is limited to two colors, mixed with white or black. Everything is presented as simply as possible, but no simpler. I made no attempt to constrain my imagination.

There’s a certain joy in the act of planting, joy in watching the
progress of the seed as it emerges toward the light, and still
more joy in the gratifying moment when it bears the desired fl ower
and fruit. Th at so much can come from such small beginnings is
ever-astounding. If you cultivate plants as a hobby, or if you haven’t
grown a plant since your mother’s day project bean plant in the
second grade, the guy who came up with Th e Seed Project wants
you to grab some seeds and sew.
One time New Mexico resident and current New York City artist
David Cohen just wanted to do something diff erent. Th e idea for
Th e Seed Project came out of Cohen’s interest in connecting art
and environmental sensitivity to creatively expose the connection
between humans and their world. Simply by planting a seed the
human who plants it is engaging in a creative act. By giving back
to the planet and the greater green good while playing a hand in
just how and where that creativity takes place, the “artist” now has
an even more direct eff ect on the outcome. Well, that’s the idea
anyway, but what’s really exciting
to Cohen, is that his seed idea has
blossomed into a fantastically fun,
and positive global art project.
A main source for Cohen’s
inspiration was the creative
environmental thinking of artist
Joseph Beuys. Born in Germany
in 1921, Beuys was one of 500
founding members of the Green
Party, among other notable
involvement in political and social
change and modern art. Beuys’
primary endeavor into “Social
Sculpture”, (Social Sculpture as
defi ned by Beuys is the “way we
mould and shape the world in
which we live. Sculpture as an
evolutionary process”) the 7000
Oaks project, began in 1982
in Kassel, Germany. His goal
was to plant seven thousand
trees, beside each tree would be
“planted” a columnar basalt stone
approximately four feet high, in
the city of Kassel. Th ough the
small oaks would grow, change, and move with
the elements the stone beside them would remain
relatively unchanged. Beuys wanted the idea of
deliberate planting and the living art to continue
throughout the world as part of a global mission
to eff ect environmental and social change and also to create a more
hospitable urban environment. Th ose who worked with him then
continue his work and promote his ideas – the 7000 Oaks project
has been continued in New York City along the entire block of 22nd
Street from 10th to 11th avenues. Cohen says that Beuys’ work
showed him that everyone is an artist and has the power to change
the world around them, and to him, the seed itself is metaphorically
the idea, or creative pure potential.
Cohen began his work in “Social Sculpture” by planting wheat
grass because it is nice and green and it will grow anywhere. “You
can drop it on your carpet and it will grow”, he said. Cohen wanted
to invite people to create unique growing environments, not so much

Melting Ice and Rhetoric:
October 3: Greenland’s Melting Ice
on Frito Friday (7:00 pm)

October 8: Unwinding the Rhetoric
(6:30 pm)

What Happens if Greenland Turns Green?

Greenland is the world’s largest island, and the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is the Northern Hemisphere’s largest terrestrial permanent ice- and snow covered area. Scientists have been monitoring the ice sheet for decades and are discovering that the ice appears to be melting. If true, what will a green Greenland mean for the rest of the world?

Dr. Sebastian H. Mernild, a post-doc fellow at the International Arctic Research Center and Water & Environmental Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, is in Santa Fe this weekend. The internationally renowned researcher has agreed to join Frito Friday, October 5, for a casual and informative discussion on his research on the Greenland Ice Sheet in a climate perspective.

Dr. Mernild discusses the future perspectives for this scenario at Frito Friday. He says, “Ice mass and snow cover serve as water reservoirs that are highly vulnerable to ongoing climatic variations and change. The Arctic is undergoing a system-wide response to climatic change, and the effect of a warmer and wetter climate on terrestrial cryospheric and hydrological processes and their components have already been documented.”

Click here for more information on Dr. Mernild’s work. Join Dr. Mernild at 7:00 at Santa Fe Complex to learn more about his perspective on the future of Greenland’s ice and the world’s coastlines.

Swimming Against the Flow (October 7, 6:30 pm)

Presidential debates; vice presidents, too; ads, emails and web pages: claims and counterclaims abound. Come to this second workshop at Santa Fe Complex to learn how to look beyond the scripts and see what is really going on this this fall’s campaigns.

From soap to soapboxes, ads, debaters and talking heads work overtime to control or influence the flow of information available to voters. Learn how to swim against the flow, by navigating upstream through the flood of information around us to find where the information comes from and investigating its accuracy in this second of the Three Tuesdays workshops before November’s elections.

On Tuesday night, October 7, journalist Tom Johnson will show workshop participants how to track data to their upstream sources. Web pages and their data are not static events; learn how to find the “signs” of where they came from, who owns the site(s) and sometimes who links to them. Johnson will discuss how investigators can use these attributes to advantage and also take a step back to consider the “architecture of sophisticated web searching.”

The third and final workshop, on October 14, will explore the payoff for the research done by the workshop’s participants: following the money to see what and who is supporting the campaign. This final workshop looks at web sites that make it easier to follow the election money and focuses on how to get their data into a spreadsheet. Then what? A short intro to slicing-and-dicing the numbers. (Even if you are a spreadsheet maven, please come and act as a coach.)

These workshops will give participants an opportunity to do some hands-on (”On-line hands-on”, that is) investigation of New Mexico politics. Participants are also encouraged to bring a laptop if they can. After learning to do the online research needed to understand what’s happening in the fall political campaign, participants will have the opportunity to do homework assignments and contribute to the Three Tuesdays wiki so their discoveries will be available to the general public.

Everyone is welcome but space will be limited. A suggested donation of $45 covers all three events or $20 will help produce each session. Click here to sign up.

Tom Johnson’s 30-year career path in journalism is one that regularly moved from the classroom to the newsroom and back. He worked for TIME magazine in El Salvador in the mid-80s, was the founding editor of MacWEEK, and a deputy editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. His areas of interest are analytic journalism, dynamic simulation models of publishing systems, complexity theory, the application of Geographic Information Systems in journalism and the impact of the digital revolution on journalism and journalism education. He is the founder and co-director of the Institute for Analytic Journalism and a member of the Advisory Board of Santa Fe Complex.

Santa Fe Complex is located in the Railyard Art District within walking distance of the hotels, restaurants and shops at the plaza downtown. We’re housed in two facilities, the project space at 624 Agua Fria and the work space at 632 Agua Fria.

The conference area contains meeting rooms and facilities for short-term use associated with on-going sfComplex projects. The project space houses the great room, where we hold events and offer Internet access, working facilities, a coffee lounge and work carrels for laptop users.

While there is parking at 624 Agua Fria, the Romero Street parking lot is more conveniently located for the 632 facility. Romero St. is an old-style Santa Fe ox-cart road just east of the 624 driveway. Follow it until it opens up to two lanes and turn hard right into the parking lot for 632.

OAKHURST
COOL BLUEGRASS FROM DENVER, CO!

www.myspace.com/oakhurst

Oakhurst has had a reputation for torching bar and theater stages throughout the US with its unique sound and unbridled stage energy for years. But lately, the band has also created a stir on major festival stages, cruise ships and European tours. The band’s adept picking, sweet harmonies, and citybilly swagger have cleary come from playing 200+ shows a year in such varied environments. Oakhurst’s unpretentious, go-for-it interpretation of a genre that’s often handled too reverently, sparks interest in bluegrass by folks who don’t know Doc Watson from Doc Holliday.

Here’s some useful links for those who wish to register to vote, or have questions about the status of their current voter registration.

THE PLEASURE PILOTS
The Pleasure Pilots band is a popular New Mexico-based dance band playing rocking vintage rhythm and blues, swing and jump music. The Pilots are a six-piece band with a horn section. Instrumentation includes: guitar, piano and Hammond B3, drums, bass, tenor and baritone saxophones. The band specializes in recreating the roots of rhythm and blues.

Conceptually, the band draws much of its material from vintage rhythm and blues artists popular in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. (Louis Jordan, Jackie Brenston, Amos Milburn, Junior Guitar Watson, T-bone Walker, Fats Domino, Ray Charles, Albert King, among others). The primary focus of the music, however, is DANCE! The band has drawn very well in New Mexico, particularly among the “dance crowd.” Jay Paul and Randy Forrester of radio station KSFR’s “Gotta Dance” show, have called the group “the best swing band in New Mexico.”

ROUND MOUNTAIN
A Benefit for the Turquoise Trail Charter School Music Program!

Round Mountain’s Char and Robby Rothschild have been playing music together for most of theirlives. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, their background ranges from Balkan and West African styles to traditional Appalachian music, from classical to funk. While they have played extensively together and separately in many ensembles and projects, including Prince Diabate, Panjea, the Selkies, and Lizard House, this configuration marks the crystallization of their own music using the traditions that have inspired them. Expect many extremes - beautiful acoustic numbers, wild bagpipes, trumpet and accordion played by one person at the same time, Bulgarian zydeco, klezmer, and Malian rhythms, to name a few. But while their music is varied, it is far from random. There is a solvent behind all these different dry ingredients that allows them to blend seamlessly - original songwriting with respect and love for the music. And, of course, the peculiar breed of madness the Rothschild brothers possess.
Round Mountain is a lively mixture of ceremony and irreverence, of exuberance and reflection. Beneath all of these unlikely marriages, a certain warmth remains to unify their sound and their message. In a time when most music has become so brightly polished that no one can see inside, Round Mountain presents a rare rough gem of humanity that glows from within. www.roundmountainmusic.com

ROADHOUSE REVUE
This is Bill Hearne’s side project, a four piece Honky Tonk band. The Roadhouse Revue is the Bill Hearne Trio plus Auge Hays on pedal steel, and with Bob playing lots of electric guitar. The music they play is the retro-honky tonk music that Bill spent many hours listening to as a youth in the late 50’s, early 60’s.

PUB & GRILL

Lunch wa at a relatively new restaurant, cafe called “the flip”. Small, located on Second St. Crepes in many forms are their speciality. Bathroom is not handicap accessible, but there is another restaurant next door that might be a little better. Food seemed “light” for what I ordered, however with the $0.50 grilled portabella mushroom side, it was very tastey. What I got, a spinach and feta crepe had no heavy sauce and was very good. More on this restaurant later.

4 hours of class. Tiring. Fortunately my friend brought extra munchies. I did not have time to get anything this morning. Rushed to class, and made good time, even in rush hour. My Feldenkrais class is just what I needed. A good workout which relieved various tension and tight spots. I was suppose to be at the Obama Headquarters, but needed sustanance. A friend and I went to Back Street Pizza. I thought a pizza would be fast, however they were very busy and had a birthday party with many young school age kids. Getting the pizza was VERY slow. Pizza was good. Also on Tuesday nights a group of ever changing musicians show up and jams. The music tonight included mandolin,violins, guitar, and various other instruments. Blue grass and country. Very good. Great company and conversation.

KSFR public Radio is in the third day of its fund drive. Contribute or change stations.

Made it to the new southside Obama for America. Big push here to get the hispanic voters out. All but one volunteer tonight was anglo. I didn’t get much completed tonight because of odd computer difficulties. 9:25 PM MST, after 12 hours out, I said good night, and came home. Decided to tkae a walk to strenghten knee, and so glad to walk almost painfree. It’s been over a year where most of the time walking has been a challenge.Such a blessing, came in took care of cats and then to the computer. Normally days are mellower here. tomorrw AM, I have a meetingat 7:30 AM and a lot to do before my 5:30 PM shift at VC. Just a little drama from all I encountered.

THIS WEEK AT THE PUB & GRILL at the SFBC!

Everyone has a different way to celebrate the first day of Fall. Some practise old rituals for the equinox, plus perhaps its the new moon as well! SOme throw a perty. Others check the pumpkin patch: will there be enough time for those pumpkins to turn orange? A few dedicated souls will be volunteering for their candidate’s cause. Even more people will show up at Santa Fe Brewing Co Bar and grill…listen to why.

SARAH BORGES

& The BROKEN SINGLES
ROCK/COUNTRY/ROCKABILLY

Some folks make music because they want to — others do it because they have no choice. Sarah Borges clearly falls into the latter category, the kind of person whose DNA would read like a musical chart if you mapped it out on paper.

Diamonds in the Dark, Borges’ second album — and first for Sugar Hill — spells that out in lush detail, with every plaintive vocal twist and every rollicking guitar turn offering up proof that the Massachusetts native knows her way around American music’s roots (and has her own roots planted firmly in some mighty fertile soil). That terrain, like the landscape she and her band, The Broken Singles have traversed over the past few years, is plenty varied — taking in scenes as diverse as the roadhouse melancholy of “Belle of the Bar” to the unashamedly guileless romanticism of “The Day We Met.”

Ira Gordon at KBAC highly reccomends this band to everyone!

JOE BONAMASSA
Joe Bonamassa has just won the
Guitar Players Reader’s Choice Award
BEST BLUES GUITARIST for 2008,
for the second year in a row!!

WITH OPENING SET BY
THE RYAN McGARVEY BAND

Voted by Guitar Player readers as 2007’s Best Blues Guitarist, blues-rock guitar virtuoso, vocalist, and songwriter JOE BONAMASSA is set to release his seventh solo album, SLOE GIN, on August 21, 2007. Bonamassa’s fourth release, the disc re-teams him with producer Kevin Shirley (Joe Satriani, Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Led Leppelin), who produced 2006’s YOU & ME, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Blues Chart in June of last year.

SLOE GIN effortlessly ranges through heavy blues and acoustic numbers alike, a textured flow that Bonamassa says was in part inspired by Rod Stewart’s legendary 1969 debut solo LP. In the liner notes, Joe adds, “I sequenced the album as a throwback to the side A/side B set-up of vinyl records…listening to an album as a whole is a lost pastime. I wanted to bring that experience back around.”

Renowned for this fluid phrasing and post-modern fusion of traditional roots blues with rock and roll guts, Bonamassa began playing guitar at age four, and toured with blues icon B.B. King when he was twelve. Recently, Joe was named Best Blues Guitarist in Guitar Magazine’s 2007 Reader’s Choice Awards. He is also the youngest member of the Memphis, TN-based Blues Foundation’s Board of Directors, and a spokesperson for their respected Blues in the Schools Program.

PENA’S BIRTHDAY BASH!
L A J U N T A

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS

DJ EL MONO SUCIO - NATIVE FIRE with

ONE FOUNDATION BAND - MEZKLAH

La Junta began early 2004 with a sound combining various musical styles. Influenced by so many genres, including jazz, blues, rock, reggae, Latin and hip-hop music, every song is significantly different from the next. Attempting to blend each sound, La Junta believes they have found something very refreshing in an industry of cardboard cutouts. With their unique style as a backdrop, La Junta reflects what they observe in everyday life as well as represent who they and where they come from in a positive way. This is the beginning of “SouthwestFunkHop”.

Recently La Junta released a new full length, industry standard album entitled “What it is” (May 9th, 2008). “What it is” can be described as: a plethora of outspoken word driven by no need for unique musical critique. Various voluptuous vehicles transport by way of rock, reggae, Latin and hip-hop music…but the truth is that without it, we’re clueless. The constant energy of “What it is” keeps the listener interested by constantly introducing new flavors, emotions, and routes in which to explore while maintaining a great vibe all the way through. Overall, “What it is” is a powerful stepping stone for La Junta.
Though the album is an amazing fingerprint for La Junta, nothing compares to the energy, fun, and musicianship of a live La Junta show, fans often compare La Junta to groups such as Ozomatli, 311, O.A.R., Dave Mathews, and Sublime. Because of this La Juntas fan base continues to grow exponentially, based on a consistent incline of CD sales and attendance at live performances.

M E Z K L A HFROM LOS ANGELES

Mezklah embodies L.A.’s evolutionary and revolutionary musical and artistic expression. As performers, vocalist/songwriter/visual artist Angel Garcia and guitarist Greg Hernandez reveal a raw presence as well as a futuristic visual and musical vision. This vision is accompanied by Matias Pizarro on Drums/Electronics and percussions and Juan Carlos Ramirez on Standard/synth Bass and trumpet.

Angel paints tribal illustrations all over the bands bodies before every performance. “I think there’s a basic tribal nature that lives in our consciousness and is in our blood,” Explains Angel. “When I am body-painting, it is not just a calming, meditative process I go through before performing.

THE WARSAW

POLAND BROTHERS

KILLER PUNK-DUB-SKA Warsaw Poland Bros. have played everywhere, with everyone in most of North America and Hawaii, while releasing several nationally distributed cd’s fueled by their own indie start up label, Invisible Mass Records. Warsaw’s dedication to a hobby-job-lifestyle has been, and will continue to be the driving force to perform live, coast to coast, towns to cities, day after night, mixing and releasing albums along the way. With over 300 shows a year, multiple gigs a day and merely days off in between, they are true road dogs, not an understatement, as Warsaw has been voted one of Jam Base’s top 10 touring bands. The ever-changing cast of characters that travel with the group lends the band to effortlessly moving through a wide range of styles. Warsaw is the ultimate definition of the DIY attitude, taking everything in-house from booking to engineering and producing their music. The Brothers and their work-horse musicians have collaborated with people all over the world and recording in every setting imaginable, from a backstage green room to Warsaw 1 (Warsaw’s van). With a dedicated street team, fan base, and unmatchable live show and talent pool, Warsaw is a testament to an incredible DIY lifestyle. When Warsaw comes to town, you’ll be dancing, drinking, and partying with a zeal you never knew you had, so you might as well call in sick, because they’ll be coming around soon…
