10/24: Jesika von Rabbit returns to LA for Howie Pyro’s Madhouse Bop


MarinaChavez-GramRabbit15-9241_72In September, Jesika von Rabbit, bassist Lee Joseph and von Rabbit’s dancers The Grundles opened 12 sold out shows for Eagles of Death Metal’s “Zipper Down” tour in the mid-west, south and East Coast. The packed rooms all responded enthusiastically to von Rabbit’s set which included songs from her recently released “Journey Mitchell” album (self released CD and Digital, vinyl LP on Dionysus Records), a twisted, searing industrial electro version of Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places” and a couple of von Rabbit’s country songs which were recorded by Gram Rabbit.

Connie Benson and Alberto Telo

Tune in  Over Under Sideways Down on LuxuriaMusic.com on Wed 4/30, 3- 5 PM PST a random stack of fabulous records from soul to psych, doo-wop to country, plus special guest, guitarist Connie Benson from New Zealand!

It’s been a while since I’ve done a non-themed show… in the past few months I’ve found a great pile of records on my trips to the desert as well as some great purchases from Evil Bay and friends on Facebook… which I will share with you on my sixth episode of “Random Stacks of Records from around my Living Room and Other Places in the House…”

My pals Warren and Connie from New Zealand will drop by, capping off their epic two-and-a-half month visit to the States. Have a listen to Connie’s manic guitar here!
