I recently got back in touch with some favorite musician’s from my musical formative years.
Part of that includes favorite rock drummers from the late 70′s and 80′s and Bobby Rondinelli is near the top of that list.
Here’s a solo from a few years back with his band The Lizards:
Such a great showman.
Enjoy.
Just watch this interview from 1981 with Tom Snyder.
We need bands to have integrity again:
Bring em back!
Hey everyone.
If you didn’t make it, here’s a sample of what you missed at our CD release party at the Twilight Cafe March 26th.
We had a blast and I think this video proves it.
Here’s “Love Rocket” with a rather, ahem, improvised and extended intro by JT a.k.a Cool Mo JT.
P.S. – Trip out on Rich’s t-shirt:
Thanks to everyone that came out to the Twilight Cafe to celebrate the release of “Sweet Sassy” last night.
We had a good time and enjoyed hanging after the show with everyone.
We’ll be posting new show information soon and remind you to keep your eyes on our home at Reverb Nation: www.reverbnation.com/dullboyjack.

Oh man. What a month already for music.
First, U2 come back with their strongest album in almost 20 years and now comes word that Devo are putting out a new record, their first in 19 years (I wonder if there is significance to the 19 year theme)!
According to this article in Rolling Stone today, the flower pot men are hard at work on a new disc.
They are also hitting the road with gigs and special one off performances.
Wow, how totally devo.
No.
I’m not dealing with a drinking issue.
I’m on the wagon of positive reviews for U2′s “No line on the horizon” which came out this week.
To put this comment in perspective -
U2 mean more to me personally and musically than probably any other band. They have been with me since I was a strapping young teenager when they first came here on the Boy tour (actually I was 12), and, with each record and tour they have continued to blow my mind. I challenge anyone to name a band that has consistently dared themselves and their audience to change with every single record.
So, with that said, I was beyond depressed at how much I didn’t like their last record (How to dismantle an atomic bomb). It was a totally new event to NOT like a U2 record. It felt half finished to me. And honestly I still feel the same about it. So I was rather skeptical about this new one especially with the usual “this is better than anything we’ve done in years” stuff that band’s usually say before a release.
I’m proud to say that I not only agree with the hype, but “No line…” is far away the best thing since “Achtung Baby”. It’s an immediate listen but like their greatest records it unravels new layers of cool and complexity with each listen. I’m thoroughly impressed but more relieved that my pillar of musicianship delivered the goods again.
To top it off, they played EVERY NIGHT this week on Letterman.
Here’s the 3rd track called “Magnificent” from Letterman:
KILLER!
According to Rolling Stone, the new U2 album has leaked but more important than the leak is the source of said leak.
Supposedly the Australian division of UMG put the album on the GetMusic website (Australian division of course) 2 weeks before the release date. Additionally, this was done without consent from the band and management? I’m sorry but how does that happen?
If I’m U2 or Paul McGuiness I am looking for blood and heads. Its not like this record needs any more hype than it has already so what’s the point of early release?
I’m sure this is going to get SOOO much coverage online but….
I am so excited to hear/see some new U2 and am looking very forward to the new record dropping in March.
The first video/single is out and the video premiered today on U2.com.
Click here to see the video for “Get on your boots”.
Awesome stuff.
