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. In this clip, Jello Biafra joins the The Hampton Wicks for an performance of “Have Love Love Will Travel” – Richard Berry‘s own sequel / clone to his LOUIE LOUIE composition. This all took place […] This weekend in SF Bay Area, we’re celebrating the life of Steve Mackay! On Thursday, Feb 24th at KFJC Radio (home of the infamous Maximum LOUIE LOUIE marathon) there was a big 4 hour radio show celebrating the legacy of Steve with lots of music and interviews. We got a chance to hear some […] Steve Mackay, a super talented sax player and all-around nice guy, died two weeks ago on October 10th.

He is joined by Jello Biafra, Alison Mosshart, Carolyn Wonderland and other assorted all-stars […] Today, the mighty LOUIE LOUIE spotlight is pointed at Sophie Villy, a Georgian (not Russian) singer that delivered a soulful rendition of THE SONG, covering the Iggy Pop– American Caesar version, while adding a few extra phrases from the song “At Last.” This performance took place sometime this month on The Great Fisun Show […] Another great rocker has left us. 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 […] Some things take a little longer to process than others. This week’s LOUIE is one of them. About a week and a half ago, Iggy Pop and the Stooges made a special appearance in San Jose as part of the very first C2SV Tech and Music Conference. Iggy & the Stooges were the headliners […] |
