Warper Tour 2010

Since 2004, I've been going to Vans Warped Tour in New York. That first one on Randall's Island was actually one of my first festival style concerts, and it was awesome. Since that first time seeing the amazing performances by Avenged Seven Fold, Suicide Machines, and Pepper, Warped tour has sadly progressively gotten worse. It went from hard core punks and kick-ass rockers to scene kids. Much more of 'free hugs' and the end of the wall of death.



The 2010 lineup may be the Warped Tour that brings hope to my heart, at least for the bands coming to NY. Check out the LINEUP!!

Having a great summer, hope you are too!!

CD Release: Pete Sanchez

Today's spotlight is on Pete Sanchez, the band.

These guys give a perfect example of musical growth, paired with a distinct hard rock and roll edge. Back in 2006 they released their first EP, "Walk on the Sun", and they did it independently. Since then they've been performing in gigs all around New York, gaining the attention of local media and fan hype.


On Saturday June 19th, Pete Sanchez released their debut album Racoon Maisy. The CD release party was a huge hit, and the Wild Hog Bar and Grill, in Melville, was pumping with energy. Everyone who came down to celebrate received a free copy of the new album, but you can go and buy it from I-tunes or Amazon!

Catch them live next @ Fight The World Wrestling, Saturday July 10th at 8pm at Center Island Sports located at 101 Union Ave in Ronkonkoma NY 11779. (631-574-2214)

Sex, Rock and Roll, More Sex

I kinda didn't know what to think when I came across this one. It feels like there's always a new company coming out of nowhere creating something generic but giving it a new spin through image and advertising.

It's about damn time a company came out with a product that gives back to the consumers. I had no idea that these existed, but One Condoms are cool looking, apparently great feeling, and can be bought at Target. One Condoms is also teaming up with the Canadian rock band One for their US tour launching this fall. Here's what they do for you. You can get a free music downloads of One's album Dirty Valentine with download codes. You can either buy condoms and get the codes, or get a free one by Signing the Safer Sex Oath, filling out the short safer sex survey, joining their mailing list, or by becoming a fan on their facebook page.

Join One and One so help promote safe sex, and keep the music free!

Release Alert, Lee Ritenour's "6 String Theory"

You listen to Uncharted Waves for the latest in independent music. But, I want to remind you of where all this music stemmed from. And so does Mr. Ritenour.

Join him on June 29th. Concord Records/Monster Music will release legendary Grammy® winning guitarist Lee Ritenour’s new album 6 String Theory. The album marks Lee’s 50th year playing the guitar and to celebrate he assembled a star-studded tribute featuring 20 of the greatest guitarists of our time including George Benson, BB King, Slash, John Scofield, Vince Gill, Keb’Mo, Jonny Lang, Taj Mahal, Robert Cray and many more.




Check it out mang. You'll Be glad you did.

The General's Back for 52

Today's show was awesome. General Money came down along with Tristan from TNM Recording Studios. We had a great time answering phone calls, talking about you know you're a rapper when, and even throwing a prank phone call into the mix. The show was a hit, and I suggest downloading it as a whole, but you always have the option to grab just the Interview or Moment of Zen.

Learning How To PodCast

As of right now, I am looking into turning this show into a weekly podcast. It will always be available for individual download as a mp3 file. If it's not posted, email me what you want, and I'll send it over to ya. I'm that giving :)

To give you an example of the little things that will be updated into mini podcasts on a random basis, here's a couple of files that will be uploaded to the world wide web. You can download them now, and see how in between songs, a little segue is a good thing.
