WONDER WOMEN: I had the extreme privilege of seeing Hans Zimmer Live last night in Los Angeles, with my longtime dear friend Tricia Williams (pic of us seated in crowd). She was the melodic percussionist for Mike Keneally back in the day for those who remember the “Dancing” Era; she is now the CEO of the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, doing a tremendous amount of good in the world through music. We watched in awe as they ran through classic score after classic score, and then met some old friends backstage. Of course it was wonderful to see Rusanda Panfili (guest violinist on The Aristocrats’ “This Is Not Scrotum”; eternal apologies to Rusanda for soiling her name with that obscene title!); that’s us in the shot at the backstage bar. And then the backstage group shot is fun, left to right: Rusanda, aerialist Nina Treiber (her performance during “Interstellar” was transcendent), Loire Cotler (THE voice of “Dune” - the singing/screaming melody, that’s her), me, a nice chap talking to Guthrie, the back of Guthrie's head.And let’s not forget Molly Rogers on violin and Tina Guo on cello and Lisa Gerrard (lead vocals on "Gladiator") and Snow Owl - Juan García-Herreros on ridiculous bass! Just an all around amazing show, powered by so many incredibly talented women. And Hans Zimmer. 😉 ... See MoreSee Less

THE ARISTOCRATS' FIRST ALBUM ON COLORED VINYL: Big news from The Aristocrats: We did a limited run of The Aristocrats’ classic debut album on translucent magenta 180-gram double vinyl - PRE-ORDER NOW! Hype text below. 😉******When Guthrie Govan (Official), Bryan Beller and Marco Minnemann formed a band on a whim after a 2011 NAMM jam, and four months later cut their debut album in just nine days, they had no idea they’d be creating a classic. But that’s exactly what happened. Raw and bursting with energy, the eponymous “The Aristocrats” is now available in a limited run of translucent magenta-colored 180-gram double vinyl.This very special edition drops on 'Black Friday' 29 November.
