This past Wednesday, Mike and I went to his studio in Jersey City, not to rehearse but to record. No we didn't start the next album just yet but we managed to get the ball rolling a bit. TC Tolliver (Plasmatics) on new Steve Bello album You read that right. It took a while with all of our schedules being so crammed but it happened. TC came up to Bandmother Recording to lay down his REALLY GREAT dr... » Continue Reading

Yes I have not written in a little bit but I have a good excuse: I've been SWAMPED with students (always a good problem to have) as well as other music news, so let's dive in... I did a last-minute fill-in gig with my friend's band Evolution last Saturday. No it's not a Journey tribute band but they do covers ranging from Def Leppard to Alanis Morrissette. It was cool, very laid-back (I like more ... » Continue Reading

Whoops! I have been so busy lately (all good stuff) that I almost forgot to type up a blog about this past Wednesday's rehearsal. I'm losing my touch?! Anyway, yes my trio had rehearsal a few days ago and worked on another new song. This one is definitely a challenging piece but it's so much fun to play. Bassist Brian Smith even told me "Dude, your stuff is f---n' HARD!" I am too close to my work ... » Continue Reading

Last time my trio had rehearsal was the week before Xmas break. Okay so we should have been back to work last week, right? Nope. I got sick, so had to cancel rehearsal as well as lessons. I hate that! But am good as new, back on track, and we had rehearsal tonight. On Wednesday?! We moved it from Sundays to Wed, and it worked out way better than planned. We were more relaxed, didn't have to rush ... » Continue Reading

If you want God to laugh, tell Him your plans. That was put to the test last Saturday when I got sidelined with a wicked cough. Thankfully I tested negative but felt like someone ran over me. Then again, the way I was feeling, someone should have. But then I wouldn't feel better, right? Was supposed to have rehearsal last Wednesday but had to cancel it. Also had to cancel a lot of lessons, which I... » Continue Reading

And now we are in the first week of 2023. Yay? This week has been painfully slow but not without its one good point: THE WEATHER HAS BEEN GORGEOUS! Every day pretty much in the mid/high 60s, mostly sunny days, but a couple of days with thick fog. Hey, anything is better than snow!! Is it me or when the ball dropped on Dec 31, 2022, that there was a feeling of "eh"? Anyone I talked to pretty much ... » Continue Reading

Well here we are, the last day of 2022. And what a year it's been! For me personally, it was quite stellar, between having a large roster of students, playing two killer shows with my band, and working on new music towards the next album... But it's time for a new year! I did a year-end wrap-up interview this past Wed night with my friend/host Metal Mistress at her studio; she hosts The Metal Melt... » Continue Reading

After learning the secret handshake, wearing a fez and doing the Hucklebuck... Bassist Brian Smith will be performing on the next album, as well as future live shows! Yes, he plays in the band Attacker, along with Mike Sabatini (who started that band in the early 80s!) So I have two members of Attacker next to me. They still have their own band, no worries there. But they will both feature promine... » Continue Reading

Rehearsal with Mike last Sunday was another one for the books, but this one was a bit different. How so? Well, you are going to have to read on... Cool? We worked on another new song for the upcoming album. The session just seemed to be more alive and vibrant. Not that the others weren't fun, but this particular one was pretty wild. I never saw Mike so animated with my music. Normally he will be a... » Continue Reading

I used to do this every year on MySpace, and since this feels like the days of old on here, the tradition shall continue... Year-end wrap-up!! This has been a wild year for me. My latest cd MOOD SWINGS still has signs of life left in it, as I have a couple more interviews coming up soon. It still sells nicely too, that's always a plus. But my eye and ear are already on the next album, and if all g... » Continue Reading

RIP Brighton Bar... Sucks that another awesome venue is gone. And I mean GONE, as it the building was demolished last night into this morning. They closed up last year, and we all hoped for someone to buy/re-open it. But no such luck. Many memories came flooding back when I first went to Brighton Bar in 1993 to see TM Stevens perform. Cut to 2012, and I got to play there with TM! I played there a... » Continue Reading

Had rehearsal with Mike today, went over the first new song and then proceeded to tear into the next one. And boy did we TEAR!!! Can there be enough coffee? This is quite possibly the fastest song I ever wrote. No it's not on the level of Slayer/Cannibal Corpse but I always wanted my own "Fight Fire With Fire" by Metallica. That's a lofty goal but I have to give it the ol' college try. My hair hur... » Continue Reading
