Since then, SA has added another ax man and filled out its horn section. SA’s plays an all-original set that fuses funk, hip-hop, [...]

Sovereign Artist at House of Blues

House of Blues in Anaheim One of the last shows at HOB Anaheim when it was based in Disney’s California Adventure Park, SA rocked the house.  It was SA’s coming out party after playing a solid year of smaller bars around Riverside, OC and LA.

Destroyer, It’s about giving back

Hurt and the Heartbeat - Boscoes Originally I planned to freelance a story about the band, but after the pitch was shot down James and I talked about posting a couple of vids on the band’s Facebook page, which easily exceeded our expectations. Something crazy like 500 views the first day.

Poseidon’s Day of Reckoning

This was one component of a final exam/project for a digital journalism class I took at University of California-Irvine Extension. The audio’s a bit garbled in places but the content’s balanced and you get a sense of the arguments pro and con. The protracted debate drags on four years later.

Backsplash, A Southern California Kitchen Remodel

This was my first video project edited in a 2008 version of iMovie. The gang at the Apple store liked it and invited me to show it—a mini in-store movies-made-on Apple products fest. There were more presenters than viewers. I remember trying to upload it to You Tube right before leaving for a Stone Temple Pilots show, screaming “WTF—why [...]
