NOT SO SICK OF SARAH!

Last Friday @ The Roxy in Hollywood, Minneapolis' all girl rock -n- roller's "Sick of Sarah" but on an electrifying performance; promoting their latest EP 'The Best Thing' which dropped May 18th. This was just one stop on their US tour, hitting several cities, so keep your eyes peeled! Working in music and art, I have to say that Minneapolis is becoming a hub of great things, so we should be prepared to see some amazing things coming from this progressive city!

Not only did this quintet of scenesters rock the stage themselves, but brought on stage special guest Susanna Hoffs known for her work as vocalist and guitarist for the Bangles, her solo career, and involvement in working with many artists as a songwriter, so it was definitely a treat for those that attended this packed show!

GREG LASWELL

It seems as almost every other week we have a review of a Greg Laswell show or an update, as he is a resident artist of Musicbleep and we frequent his shows as much as we possibly can. However, last Saturday's show, a last before he hits a summer long tour, my close friends all gathered at the Hotel Cafe to not only check out his performance, but to celebrate my date of birth. So I would like to thank my friends, AJC, NMIT (ILYG), and to Greg himself (thank you for the dedication).

The show was sold out, per usual, and packed in my favorite venue. He had all of his "teammates" on stage to perform with him, which created a familiar, yet rare dynamic (he played solo the previous night). As you all know from previous posts we have seen Greg at various venues, playing with varies acts, and on the Hotel Cafe tour; it never gets old. I would also like to congratulate him on the single that he wrote especially for the season finale of Grey's Anatomy, 'Off I Go'. If you knew what was best for you, after reading this blog, go to iTunes and download this song, it's amazing! Check him out... www.myspace.com/greglaswell.com and www.greglaswell.com
