Flying Venus, fronted by singer-songwriter Jean Mazzei is best described as an “80’s retro sound with a fresh twist, B52 meets Aerosmith.“ Their third release, “Face of a Nation,” is a departure from Mazzei’s poppy point of view. From “We All Fall Down,” a twisted perspective of looking at street life through a funhouse mirror, to high school love in “Kinda Life U,” to the plight of the lonely in “Long Road to Memphis,” this collection of 14 songs pulls from diverse facets of American life. The songs are about real people, real dreams, and real issues. ( www.flyingvenus.com )
San Francisco’s flower-power funk rocker Groovy Judy’s new CD, “Life,” is her second release and is the beginning of a new sound and style for her as an artist. Produced by Roberta Donnay (Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks), the CD contains 10 tracks of rock, funk and pop songs that talk about being true to yourself, dysfunctional relationships, enjoying life to the fullest, happiness, love and living in peace. The CD also contains Groovy Judy’s signature psychedelic rock song, “Jimi’s Sister,” her tongue-in-cheek tribute to her guitar mentor, Jimi Hendrix, as well as the haunting instrumental, “Sunrise,” inspired by Carlos Santana.

Peninsula pop-rocker with sweet and soaring vocals, Katie Garibaldi's upcoming release Fallen Angel, is her fifth full-length release. Although the name “Fallen Angel” may have a dark connotation, the album is in fact a bright collection of 14 original songs that carries an ongoing theme of unconditional love and devotion. Fallen Angel is sure to create quite a buzz with such songs as “Always, Every Time,” an uplifting song about escaping to a better place, “A Love Without Chains,” a funky rock tune about feeling free with a new love, and the title track, “Fallen Angel,” which features Garibaldi's acoustic finger-picking technique and slide guitar.

Hi all,
Just a note to let you know we're up and running in San Mateo County. In our first class we had 10 kids, mostly 3rd-5th graders. Most have played some type of musical instrument,and two even had their own guitars. They were quite knowledgeable for a beginning class, asking about barre chords, sharps and flats,
"whether Fenders are good guitars," and if they could give their guitars nick names. In fact, they asked a LOT of questions, and almost every child was participating. That, coupled with the fact that they were very well behaved, makes me confident that we will be able to make a lot of progress with them. The room at the Police ActivitiesLeague facility is perfect, with a large blackboard and even a TV with VCR/DVD player, so maybe we'll be able to play short video clips(of people like Tony Rice/Robben Ford or the like) while we're setting up each week. Jude Damasco, Brian Fukuji and I all had fun the first week, and I'm sure the good vibes will continue from week to week.
Regards,
John
