How NOT to quit your band

google.com, pub-2427795083793513, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0

We’ve all been in that situation where things just aren’t going right with the band and the tension gets to the point when you just have to bail. This is not the most appropriate time…

As I Lay Dying’ ruining “Electric Eye” vocally….

Once again another classic song that has been reworked by a modern band .The musicianship is awesome but when he singer starts singing..its cookie monster vocals and he ruined the song.

Ten Questions with Mike Sullivan

google.com, pub-2427795083793513, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0

1. Welcome to Kick Acts. Tell us a little about yourself and your band and were you can be found at on the web.

Singer/Songwriter. www.MikeSullivanBand.com

2. Who are your musical heroes, influences & why?

Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, and all great Singer/ Songwriters….because I aspire to get to their level.

3. Do you have any advice for someone just getting started in playing music? Any pitfalls they should avoid?

Stay at it.

4. Do you have a greatest gig story you’d like to share?

15,000 people when opening up for Rebeloution in Hermosa Beach, CA. AMAZING ENERGY!!!!

5. On the same token as the above question. How about a “worse gig” ever story.

No sound system at a College gig in TX. Played to about 10 students in the snack room. Ouch. Crazy thing is they paid a lot for that gig.

6. Do you have any other hobbies other than playing music? Collect stamps? Collect hats from off the side of the road? Draw pictures of boobs?

Surfing, Yoga, and cooking…mainly on the BBQ. I tend to burn things.

7. What do you think about the present music scene or lack of? Care to address that?

Some of it is really good, and some is hmmmm? I like the collaborations a lot, like M&M and Bruno Mars.

8. Tell us something about each of your band members that we wouldn’t expect to hear… Like their hobbies or something like that…(???? editor)

9. Hypothetical situation. You’re stranded on Gilligan’s island and you get to hook up with only one of the girls… Is it Ginger, Mary Ann or Mrs. Howell and why?

I’d say none, because I’m really happy with my girlfriend. But it’s funny because we were on a hike in Hollywood the other day and she asked me the same question….I said Mary Ann, because she had a similar sweet, likable, fun energy about her (like my girlfriend has).

10. # 10 is called “Shout It Out Loud”. It’s were you get to talk about whatever you want to talk about. So go ahead and “SHOUT IT OUT LOUD”!

Life is good! Love Love Love, then Love some more.

Amercian Pie (The Reunion)

I really liked the first American Pie movie. The sequels weren’t that great. This one looks like it might be good.

RAMMSTEIN “Mein LAnd” vid…this is super cool!!

google.com, pub-2427795083793513, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0

You gotta love Rammstein…These German guys know how to rock! I like them because they can make fun of themselves and still come out kicking and screaming like a mechanized machine. Check out their new vid. Its a big difference from the Beach parties of 1964 and 2012 but I think I would like to have been at both of them! Turn it up!!

KATY PERRY’S VID “The one that got Away”

google.com, pub-2427795083793513, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0

Say what you will about Katy Perry but she is the real deal, the whole package. Currently she is tied with Michael Jackson as the only other artist that has  had five chart toppers off of one album. That’s not an easy thing to do and if this song is anything like the other five it will have no problem doing it so I will go on record now as saying she will be the only artist in history (that means Elvis, The Beatles, Michael Jackson and everyone else included) to have six chart toppers off one album.Congrads!!

She may be poppy,  funny and quirky but she is brilliantly smart and knows how to present a song and a video. I used to think only PINK was a sure bet but now I have to rethink that. There is room at the top for both of them. Here is Katy’s new video and she plays two roles in it. One as herself now and one as an eldery woman. As my friend Louie used to say on his radio broadcast “Check it out and tell me what you think”.
