It’s a shock to learn that we lost Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters. I never met the man, but it seems like everyone who met him just loved this guy. The bond between Taylor and his Foo Fighter bandmate /leader David Grohl was a special thing to behold. Hawkins joined Foo Fighters in […] photo by Laurelish Rudy About a week and a half ago, I had an opportunity to visit with the man formerly known as Don Gallucci. Don’s kinda like the lost and forgotten member of the original Kingsmen that recorded LOUIE LOUIE back in 1963. His keyboard playing is the very first sound you […] I recently watched “Danny Says,” a documentary about a music industry insider by the name of Danny Fields. As someone that worked with David Peel, who passed away last month, I knew about Danny, and various people recommended that I see this documentary. I knew that Danny not only helped get Peel signed to […] This week, the mighty LOUIE spotlight is pointed on a performance from the Steve Mackay memorial concert last weekend.

As one of last surviving members of The Stooges, he had a unique […] Here’s another one for the LOUIE archives – James Williamson of The Stooges did a solo show at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles last month. As fate would have it, the last song of the show was THE SONG!

Drummer Scott Asheton, a founding member of The Stooges, passed away on March 15th. Iggy Pop shared the news on his Facebook page: My dear friend Scott Asheton passed away last night. Scott was a great artist, I have never heard anyone play the drums with more […] It’s December, a week and a day before Christmas. Holiday shoppers are in force, exchanging little green pieces of paper to buy gifts for family and friends. “Green Air” is not only a state of being, but also a name of a band that performs this week’s LOUIE LOUIE. In this video clip, Green […] |
