Welcome to the new-look Friday Night Videos as I take it back to the roots of video – it’s all music, baby.
Let’s start with one of my favorite local groups, Not My Own. The song is ‘Crucify.’
I recorded the next video at Skip Dixxon’s Spring Luau last month – this is Monkee Paw covering the Steve Miller classic ‘Rock’n Me.”
I have a number of videos from the show that I can use for future episodes.
Another video I recorded awhile back comes around just in time for the upcoming Pork in the Park, which will feature this band on Saturday afternoon.
Yep, Smokin’ Gunnz will be back. Unfortunately, the battle of the bands goes away as a rock show. It’s gone country, but I haven’t. Nor will I.
Well, maybe I did. Try this track by Semiblind as they rocked the Gretchen Wilson song ‘Here for the Party.’
A solid local band returns to Flavors Italian Grille on April 15 – appropriate since this video called ‘Big Yank’ was recorded there awhile back. Permilla Project is back after a bit of a hiatus.
Another outlet promoting local music (and which also has a Skip Dixxon influence) is Ocean 98, which does its regular segment featuring local and regional bands called Live Lixx. Recently the Baltimore-based band Sweet Leda made their appearance at the Ocean 98 studios and this was the result.
This is a ‘professional’ video featuring another Baltimore-based band that’s a rising star in the music world. Lately they’ve toured in support of The Dirty Heads and they’re working on a new release, but Ballyhoo! did their track ‘The Quest’ in this studio in January.
So I hope you enjoyed this all-music edition of FNV, suitable for rockin’ into the weekend. If you’re a local band looking for exposure, send a note along as a comment!
“Big Yank”! Love that song…
