I hope to be able to do a nice size video/audio update thru out this week. I have so much on this list I want to get done with this update... it will be fun to see what I actually do get done. I'll try to post as I go this time, but please check the multimedia gallery daily just in case I don't.
I wanted to let everyone know that I am working very very hard to resolve the issues that have the boards down at the moment. Not sure exactly what the problem is, but I have written to Surpass, my hosting company, asking for them to restore it to a previous setting. If this has to happen we will likely lose a couple days of posting. It'll work out, no worries. Just know the boards will be back up ASAP
21 Apr 2010: Concert Review: Christian Kane Rules Portland
by Rose
Christian Kane Rules Portland - Published April 21, 2010 by Theresa Burch
On a warm April evening, people began to gather outside of Dante's, a bar in the Entertainment District of Portland, Oregon. The sign hanging on the door noted that the club would be opening following sound check, shortly after 8pm. There was a party atmosphere on the sidewalk outside the iconic club as more and more people arrived. And they weren't just from the local area. There were fans from all over the United States, not to mention a few from other countries.
But it wasn't even 6:00 yet - who could inspire fans to get in line more than two hours before the doors opened? More than one curious passerby paused to ask that very question. The band with such loyal followers is known as Kane and is fronted by Christian Kane, currently one of the stars of the hit TNT show, Leverage. Founded in 1998 by Christian and fellow guitarist, Steve Carlson, Kane became an LA marvel, getting airplay from country radio and playing to sold out crowds in such hot spots as The Viper Room and The Mint. Christian and Steve also started making regular trips to Nashville where they collaborated with some of the best songwriters in the industry. read full review here
19 Apr 2010: TAKE FLIGHT, Directed by Juliet Landau
by Rose
Gary Oldman directed a music video for the Jewish Hip Hop band Chutzpah. The video was shot on cell phones. What started out solely as a behind the scenes making of, turned into a film about Garys creative process. Much of the film is told from Garys POV as he operates one of the cell-cams. We are inside his brain, if you will, seeing the genesis of his ideas and then his precision in carrying them out. Watching Gary work in this way truly celebrates the spirit of Independent, no-budget filmmaking, where innovation and talent reign. Ultimately achieving a seamless creative flow, his playful, childlike freedom of expression and exploration TAKE FLIGHT!
I hope to get just as much done this week *crossing fingers*. Hope you have been enjoying what I've updated so far, and please keep checking the multimedia gallery daily. I will make an update summary post again next weekend.
Tomorrow Miss Juliet Landau will be posting Christian's interview she did for her Take Flight project. I can not wait to see it and will post it once she puts it online...
