	SXSW 2007- Pete Townshend and Rachel Fuller During SXSW, I oversaw our sponsorship of Studio SX at the Trade Show... I get a call from a producer about how they want me to secure Pete Townshend for an interview. Sure, I'll try to secure rock legend Pete Townshend from The Who for an interview with a regional music video channel... Sure. A little research and I find out he will be playing Stubbs with The Fratellis.. Meet up with the crew there and they have sent along Michael Des Barres (Google him) to conduct the interview. OK, fine. None of the publicists would return my calls. Pete's people were shrouded in black and I joked that they were Secret Service. "I know right!" one of them agrees. So Pete rocks out and I have a team hoping I will pull yet another rabbit out of my hat. I did. I went right up to Pete and explained the situation and when he saw Michael he was more than happy to oblige. We conducted a quick and sweet interview amongst whispers about who we were. "We are the regional..." I whispered back partnered with a look that could only interpreted as "HUSH!" View Video

	"I'm Too Old for American Idol" Audition Parody - Bellylove Please comment and rate our video. It's a parody of an American Idol audition, made in 2007. Bellylove has the copyright to this song which is registered with the Library of Congress and is available on iTunes. Michael Des Barres is the voice of our animated Simon Cowell judge. About the band: Toni Valenta and Lisa Black (a.k.a bellylove) started writing songs in 1998. Lisa Black, a serious veteran of the local L.A. club scene, started out with Gwen's Pandora's in the early 80's. Fresh out of high school Lisa found herself playing shows with bands like L7, Jello Biafra, Social Distortion, Fear... and many more. Gwen's Pandoras recorded one EP for Enigma Records, which never was released, "worm boy" a really cool tune, did make it's way to the Enigma Variations album. The "record it and trash it" syndrome became an unwelcome trend which continued with Hardly Dangerous, a local fav in Hollywood for several years in the late 80's. Hardly Dangerous inked a development deal with Madonna's Maverick Records (with lead singer Tomi Rae, James Brown's Widow) and recorded an entire album's worth of material with Pat Dinizio of The Smithereen's producing. The project was dropped to make room for the next up and coming female artist, Alanis Morisette. Putting the whole thing to bed for a minute only to pick up the guitar again several years later, Lisa met Toni Valenta through a mutual friend. Toni, a super talented singer /song writer had never played a live show. She did spend some time in an industrial project in the 90's called "Partly Cloudy". It wasn't long before the two had written several songs and decided to record a c.d. for art sake. They had some c.d.s made, homemade artwork and all, and handed out maybe 4 copies when they received a phone call from Marti Noxon of Buffy the Vampire Slayer asking if Joss Whedon could use "Back to Freedom" on the 3rd season premier of the show. The answer was obvious, and the following week they were shooting on the set in Santa Monica. Bellylove received an endorsement from Fender Guitars and has played such awesome venues like The House of Blues, The Calliope Fest in Florida opening for Ani DiFranco & Melissa Ferrick, The Viper Room opening for C.C. Deville, Paladino's, Opening for Stephen Pearcy at The Knitting Factory, The Cat Club, The Joint, 14 Below, The Pitcher House, Riverside College, Taime Downs Pretty Ugly Club at Dragonfly, The Fender Guitar Museum and many more.

	The Power Station - Some Like It Hot 1985) Despite Duran Duran ruling the earth by late 1984 (due to countless hits and sold-out tours), the band had completely burned themselves out with a non-stop, grueling work schedule. 1985 was supposed to be a year-long break for its members from band duties, but its five members ultimately formed two separate side-projects: the Power Station, which was comprised of Duranee's John Taylor (bass) and Andy Taylor (guitar), plus solo artist Robert Palmer (vocals) and ex-Chic member Tony Thompson (drums); as well as Arcadia, which featured the three other Duran members, singer Simon Lebon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, and drummer Roger Taylor. The formation of the Power Station came as a complete accident, as John Taylor was dating model/groupie Bebe Buell at the time, and offered to assemble a funky version of T. Rex's classic rocker, "Bang a Gong (Get It On)," for Buell to contribute vocals to (with Andy Taylor and Tony Thompson joining the proceedings). But before the recording could take place, Taylor and Buell split up. The trio decided to press on, however (having already demoed several originals, as well), with a plan to have several different noted pop singers provide vocals. Robert Palmer was invited to sing on a track, but with the vocalist and the rest of the band extremely impressed with the results, Palmer ended up singing on all of the resulting album's eight tracks. Issued in early 1985, the quartet's self-titled debut was a sizeable hit, due to a pair of monster hit singles which merged rock with a dance edge, the original tune "Some Like It Hot" and the aforementioned cover of "Bang a Gong." The album's immediate commercial success prompted the group to organize a supporting tour, but surprisingly, Palmer pulled out just a few days before the tour's launch. The Power Station first attempted to lure Paul Young into the group (who had just scored a hit with the ballad, "Everytime You Go Away"), before settling on former-Silverhead frontman Michael Des Barres. Despite an appearance at the mammoth Live Aid benefit festival in July of 1985, the bandmembers decided to call it quits upon the tour's completion. As a side note, the band member's temporary "break" from Duran Duran failed to recharge their batteries, as both Andy and Roger Taylor split from the band shortly thereafter, while Palmer would go on to issue some of the '80s biggest pop hits, including "Addicted to Love" and "Simply Irresistible." Surprisingly, the original Power Station lineup re-formed almost exactly ten years later, issuing a sophomore effort, Living in Fear, in 1996. Unsurprisingly, the album failed to replicate its predecessor's success. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide View Video
