Radiohead Rehearsals
The Radiohead appearance on the From the Basement TV series from the BBC is available in gorgeous, full hi-def video. The video features a full King of Limbs performance and drummer Clive Deamer playing with the band, along with an entire case of extra characters. From the Basement is a series of shows produced and recorded at Maida Vale Studios by Nigel Godrich.
Good news for those visiting the Radiohead tour in 2012 ... you're likely to hear new Radiohead songs: "We're trying to keep it creative. We've got new songs, we've been rehearsing about four or five new songs this week so we're going to try and take those on the road. It feels really good," said guitarist Ed O'Brien when speaking to XFM's Mary Anne Hobbs.
Radiohead singer Thom Yorke said the same thing back in October when in the U.S., speaking to Rolling Stone: "We can get things together quite rapidly at the moment," talking about a new song titled "Come to Your Senses." "We have this version of it. It's a five-minute rehearsal, but it has the essence of what we need. There are a few of those. It would be fun to have them ready when we go to play next year. I don't know how we would release them."

Flo Guitar Enthusiasts at Hothouse Rehearsal Studios
A special thanks to Jeff Floro of The.Flo.Guitar.Enthusiasts Joe Mazzeo, of the Grumps, Henry Cendejas, and JimmyRay Hawkins for bringing all the gear and playing on our video. You guys are the best. Joe built a custom switch for us to change speakers at a moment's notice, besides putting all those speakers in all those cabinets. An amazing collection of vintage and new speakers were assembled. Henry brought in some amazing amps and everyone loved his EVM 12L cabinet. It sounded amazing. JimmyRay brought a couple of guitars he assembled which sounded amazing and played some awesome stuff which really showed the differences between the speakers. The edited video will be coming soon, and some surprises. Here’s an outtake of the video…Joe Mazzeo, of the Grumps, warming up before performing for the video.. He is playing his Jackson through a Ceriatone Chupacabra 50 watt head through his Marshall 4x12 cabinet with Celestion Greenbacks.

What: Troy High School Battle of the Bands - Special performance by Dramarama
When: Friday January 21, 2011 at 6:00pm
Where: Plummer Auditorium 201 E Chapman Ave Fullerton, CA 92832 (714) 626-3890
Who: Vale of Avalon, Transmission, The Sideline, Colortrap

Cost: $7 at the door.
First Place Prize: 1 Song Music video of the band.
First Runner Up: 1 Song Multi Track Audio recording.
Second Runner Up: 2 free hours of rehearsal time at Hothouse Studios in Santa Fe Springs, Ca.
Why is Hothouse sponsoring a high school event? First, Hothouse Rehearsal Studios supports education for our young people and especially the great work being done at Troy. Secondly, Hothouse Studios was established to help our local talent achieve their goals. Thirdly, Hothouse Studios is a community business and supports the community through fund raising activities such as this.
Troy High School is the alma mater of Social Distortion and what great group will emerge from this year’s Battle of the Bands is anyone’s guess. Come on down to the show and take a look for yourself.
Troy High is well known for being one of the top 30 High Schools in the country, as well as having the #1 computer science program in the world, yes, the world. What is less known is that Troy has a stellar, absolutely second-to-none Special Education Department.
The teachers, staff, and administrators not only do what they can to help make high school the rewarding academic experience it should be, but they also give an enormous amount of their hearts and time to help give the students in the Special Ed program many social and recreational opportunities--dances, parties, camping trips, Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, trips to San Diego things that typical high school kids take for granted.
In the past, the department was able to raise their own funds to pay for these adventures so that there was zero or minimal cost to students--many of whom are in foster care or group homes and would otherwise be unable to attend--but the rules have changed and they are no longer able to raise these funds themselves. The Troy ASB has graciously agreed to give the proceeds from the Battle of the Bands to the Special ED Dept.
If you are at all able, please come out and give your support.

He also has some cool new RN stickers and promo 8x10's to sign... when you see him at the show just come up and ask for one, if you want him to sign a photo, not a problem. As most of you know Ronny is always up for getting his picture taken with everyone at these events so if you wanna get a shot together with Ronny, so not a problem. All you have to do is ask. It was great taking photos with everyone at the R-n-R Gangstar Pre NAMM party on Friday.
Ronny will also be doing several actual signing events at the show with special promo shots he had made especially for the sponsors he is signing for (see info below). If you are so inclined you can get all three 2011 RN NAMM promo shots at the show and have your own RN picture collection....

Hothouse Studio Rehearsal TV produces new music video for Ronny North
Take a look at this concept video Rehearsal TV produced for Ronny North’s new single “Tomorrow is Burning”. We had a great time shooting the video with Ronny and the Bunnies, the dancers were fabulous and Bryan and Charles never broke character.
It’s a story about some rogue ice cream bunnies scouring the streets and back alleys of the city searching for ice cream lovers to victimize, while Ronny’s new single “Tomorrow is Burning” is churning up the street. Enjoy.
Hothouse Studio Rehearsal TV can produce your next music video. Give us a call we can help. 562.945.1300.
