24 Satellites
Self-Released	
In a fairly short amount of time, 24 Satellites been able to release two albums effortlessly demonstrating the true ways of playing rock â€˜n' roll. After an introduction of reverse reverb, "Girl Without A Name" supplies a retro folk feeling with acoustic guitar work sounding similar to Zeppelin's "The Battle Of Evermore" and vocal harmonies reminiscent of The Byrds; not too shabby to start. "Don't Turn Your Back On Me" shifts gears a tad by providing a mellow, but danceable tune that could be slotted in the alt-country [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amateurs
If We Dare Win
Grey Goals 
Ex-Chicoan turned Los Angeles rocker Keith Waggoner may not ever sell a million records or be a household name, but he is constantly reinventing himself musically. Since 2007's Speak Easy, Waggoner and the Amateurs have surrounded themselves with a whole new cast of characters which in turn has brought about a different direction; from artsy uncertainty to a confident, more mature legible style. If We Dare Win takes a more optimistic approach from previous efforts with the inspired and energetic A-side "Chain Reaction." Along with [...]]]></description>

Popular Mechanics
Tooth &#038; Nail
Decorated with likable melodies, carefully laid textures and a wide range of shifting moods, the second effort from Chico's Surrogate is quite worth it's share of attention. Popular Mechanics is a shimmering example of singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Chris Keene's understanding of what makes a good song. All 11 tracks seem not too busy, not too empty, not complacent, not progressiveâ€”just super-clean indie with intriguing lyrics. The nuanced yet stellar drumming of Jordan Mallory really contorts to the needs of each individual song, allowing the mood swings to be very [...]]]></description>

Some Band
Life
 
Setting up a tour for your own band is a lot like a food experiment. You have to own child-like enthusiasm for adventure and experimentation at the risk of your body and personal bank account. You learn what comes first in life. Do you want to get that $6 burger at Carls Jr. and NOT have the money to pay for a couple of tall cans after the gig?  Or do you compromise your moral integrity and steal a cliff bar so you can snag that post-show flask of whiskey and [...]]]></description>

It was nice to see that the Bay Area still shows a need for Smooth Jazz especially after recently losing KKSF (Smooth Jazz) on the FM dial. As always the bands showed up and filled the cool mountain air of the east bay. It's such a special day, what makes it so great is you can actually pack an ice chest in [...]]]></description>

The buzz is building on soon to be Chico ex-pat J-Pigg (at least that's what the rumor mill is spinning at the moment) who will be heading down to LA to make the Hollywood area his new home base.
With some hefty sponsorship deals comping down the pipe J-Pigg is continuing to build a West Coast wide buzz. Take a peek for yourself at the video for  Transformers and Cadillacs here and see for yourself. More to come.
