Hello Everyone, this is the first post for 2008! Happy New Year to you all!!
Hope that you had fun what ever you did for New Years Eve. Me I had too much fun came home at 7am, met Matt Sorum the drummer from Velvet Revolver and Guns and Roses and Leslie Bibb who played Brooke on the only WB teen show that I was ever addicted too "Popular" in my New Years Eve travels. Both very nice, but no more 7am nights for me, if you've clicked on the blog through my myspace page and read my brief blog from yesterday you'll know why!
Anyhow Saturday night was the MEANY Fest finals, the winners of MEANY fest 2007 were a band from Glasgow Scotland with a very cool Beatlesque/Brit pop sound called Sonny Marvello, the runners up were an awesome glam/punk/metal band called Maslow from NYC.
The other finalists were Future in Plastics a punk/ new wave led by the very glam CoCo, John McGrew and the Sitbacks a fun and really good party band, both Future in Plastics and John McGrew and the Sitbacks are straight outta Brooklyn. And the last of the finalists on the bill were Ten Year Vamp a hard rockin' band outta Albany NY led by the very rockin' Deb.
Besides the finalists there were guests that played as well, the Johnny Strange provided very rock and roll moments, Kiss Kiss played an amazing set and the very unique, interesting and beautiful act Twins Indiggo covered Queen's "We Are the Champions" and 4 Non Blonde's "What's Up". MEANY Fest judge Lourds Lane played a few selections from her up and coming rock opera "Super Chix".
All in all the night was a really great one, there was a great comroderidy between all the finalists and I was up in the green room for most of the night interviewing everyone. The interviews from Saturday night and from the MEANY Fest special guest show from back in October should be posted soon!
Since I was up in the greenroom talking to people I didn't get a chance to use my big christmas gift my new digital camera to take pictures. But the night before was the pre finals party at the Knitting Factory and I took lots of pictures that night, I've posted those pictures in the next blog entry. My friend Dan's band Uncle Pumpkin played the night before bash and so I took a lot of pictures of Dan playing more so then I did any of the other bands on the bill. He's
sooo hot!
