Lady Luck - Lucky Lady

The new song playing underneath the Lost Vegas images this week is an original song written by "No Signal" band mate Andrew 'The Rocket' Sprachman. It was recorded in Andrew's basement a few weeks ago during one of our monthly band jams. When I first joined the guys a couple of years ago I asked Andrew if he would consider writing a song for the Project. The result is what I think has the potential to be a great song. The boys will kill me for putting the song out there because it isn't perfect but I couldn't wait. When this project started and the music side began to take shape I never thought that I would be singing and playing harmonica to one of the songs that will be part of the Album/Film...whatever this evolves to - in the future. Thanks also to my other band mates Phil Presnal (Bass) , Pete Vamos (Rythm guitar) , Bryce McNaughton (Electric guitar) and Ben Bradshaw (Drums) for all their help and input. Ben was actually sick when we taped this version of the song. Gregor Beresford who was the drummer for the indy band "The Burbon Tabernacle Choir" played the skins on this one with one practice under his belt. Amazing?

Oh well it's out there...be kind !!!

PS- The band is planning their second live show in July this year. Stay tuned.

Happy New Year...2011.

Where did 2010 go? I am getting real close to finishing the music for the project. My band "No Signal" have been working hard on "Lady Luck" for a while now. We will be performing it live on January the 14th at Clinton's Tavern for the first time ever. I picture a 'concert film' shot in Las Vegas with all the performers who have contributed to the project. I think that would be so cool.
I have reposted Dale Clark's song "Welcome To Fabulous Downtown Las Vegas Nevada", which was the first piece of music done for the images, and such a great song.

No Signal - Live

My garage band 'No Signal' will be playing live for the first time ever on January 14th, 2011 at Clinton's Bar in Toronto. Clinton's is a great tavern and will be a cool place to play at. The majority of our songs are covers of musicians we like (Wilco/Old 97's/Neil Young/etc...) but I will be singing our one original song (written by bandmate Andrew Sprachman ) called "Lucky Lady". It is an amazing song in my opinion and I hope that I can do it justice ? Once we have it down we will record it and then I hope to start stage three of the 'Lost Vegas Art Project'. If you are in town and can come by , please do.

GM gives a little and gets ALOT !

So GM "gives" Armando Galaraga a FREE -Vette valued at $ 60,000.00 in honor of the No-Hitter he had been robbed of. Nice gesture. In response ... over the following four days the company/car was talked about on 714 TV programs and mentioned in over 151,000 print and internet publications. The estimated value of that exposure is estimated at $ 7,900.000.00 !

GM=Great Marketing.

Keep givin' .

"Goodbye Freemont Street Cowboy"...

Stephen StanleyThanks to Stephen Stanley (with Barry Walsh on back up vocals and Phil Presnel on the recording and mix) for the amazing song underneath the Lost Vegas images. Steve was a founding member of the Canadian Rock Band "Lowest of The Low" and continues today as a solo musician and Creative Director at "Strategy Magazine". Steve played the opening exhibit of the Lost Vegas Art Project and promised he would pen a song. It took a while but it was well worth the wait !!!

This is a steal...

The makers of "Steal This Film" literally want you to steal the film and watch it, pass it around, or change it. If you like it and want to support them that is up to you.

Enjoy, it's a cool little film.
