• MORE FROM STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN

  During his interview with OC Weekly, Austin touched on numerous subjects beyond his new movie career. There wasn't room enough to cover all of them in print; here, for the fans, he offers up some additional uncensored opinions. On rumors of a WWE-brand beer: Oh, we were going to come out with a beer. And then we were in the middle of research & development and I even went down to Rochester, NY, to the place where we was gonna make the beer and participated in some of the testing and tasti

• Looking Ahead to South by Southwest

  The annual sonic bacchanal known as South by Southwest goes down March 12-16. Every year, several thousand music-biz types, musicians and ordinary mortals with more money than sense descend upon downtown Austin, Texas, cramming five months of musical activity into five days. I'll be blogging about all the awesome and heinous stuff I see/hear while I'm there, but for now, here's a lil' sneak preview of the festivities. OC/LBC bands making the trek to the Lone Star state's capital include Free th

• The Living Suns and Dusty Rhodes and The River Band bring boot stomping local sound to The House of Blues

  The chance to thrash on stage at Anaheim's House of Blues is a dream that most local band in Orange County will frankly never accomplish. So the fact that Fullerton favorites The Living Suns and Dusty Rhodes and The River Band are making a repeat trip to Downtown Disney's only worthy night spot is more than just a swell homecoming, it's becoming an enviable habit. In the wake of their recent debut album "Self", The Living Suns are poised to shine again, hopefully with a few new surprises in th

• Listen to the Band: Glass Puppets

  It's no secret that many of us "alt-weekly" types like to puff out our chests and proudly claim the bands that manage emerge successfully onto the world stage from our little sliver of local culture. But now and then it's important to remember that at one time none of us knew who they were. They weren't popular. And with the exception of a solid following of friends and family no one gave a crap about them. Enter: Glass Puppets.   While this gang of Placentia-based musicians may be i

• Hootenanny tix on sale Friday

  Get your pompadours, rolled jeans, Pabst Blue Ribbons and Converse ready because the Hootenanny is right around the corner.This year's lineup includes the Reverend Horton Heat, Los Lobos, Horrorpops, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the Supersuckers, Lee Rocker, the Blasters, 3 Bad Jacks, Roger Alen Wade, Dusty Rhodes and I'm guessing a whole bunch more. I went to the Hootenanny once and I'm on the fence about how it went. For starters, I despise all-day festivals. The sun is not my friend, I don't like li

• TODAY: New Dusty Rhodes and the River Band album in stores

  After a couple months of pre-ordering, downloading, and file sharing, today you'll finally be able to do it old school and walk into a record store to cop the new album by Dusty Rhodes and the River Band. The  release of the band's sophomore effort, Palace and Stage, marks another chapter in the band's career on Side One Dummy Records. And as their bio/press release on the album points out, lyrics like "It's time to shine, this time it's mine" hint at a spangly, folk-rock tour de force on t

• Listen to The Band: Oh, The Spanish Moss

  Oh, the simple joys of rocking out in a garage band. Most aspiring musicians can reminisce about the countless days spent hashing out future rock classics not yet born, sweating out their angst between a dusty tool bench, crappy Christmas ornaments and a broken lawn mower. And in many respects, the So Cal three piece Oh, The Spanish Moss are no different. Except these guys may actually make it out of the garage one of these days. With a sound combining the boot stomping blues of the Black Ke

  Monica VillalongaBY BECKA DELANEYAfter touring across the country, Orange County's Dusty Rhodes and the River Band returned to Southern California with a visit to the Echoplex last night; playing material off their latest record (and Side One Dummy debut), Palace and Stage. After first witnessing the band's folk rock from their first LP First You Live at a New Year's Eve bash this past year, I felt the glimmer of hope I felt back then multiplied as I stood in awe as each note seduced my ear drum
