Mojo’s Pick of the Week: Billy Connally
Jun 28, 2010 Pick of the Week
Simply put, Billy Connally is one of the Bay Area’s great unknown rock guitar heroes. Over 27+ years of guitar playing experience in numerous bands shines through on his just-released solo album entitled “The Silent Canvas”. Fans of Joe Satriani will not only be impressed but blown away by the pure understated musicianship and emotion in the Billy’s heavy melodic guitar compositions. He’s currently booking dates with supporting band The Billy Connally Project — they opened for Pat Travers earlier this month — so catch this classic in the making if you can!
His thirteen song collection of guitar driven instrumentals entitled “The Silent Canvas” is now available for sale on Amazon and iTunes, and selected songs are streaming on his MySpace.

New Song and News!

Finally got together a full finished demo of new song “No Right”! Check it below and on our Audio page! The arrangement is very close to final, though some of the vocals will probably be rerecorded. I’m very happy with the production value on this one, it’s got a killer sound!
This rocker will be one of the songs on our “Summer’s End” EP due out late summer / early fall. The lineup so far:
Taste Your Love
Summer’s End
She
No Right
??
I have one more new song in the works I just wrote called “The Beast” that I’ll be working on shortly. It will be a heavy, grinding fuzz / stoner rock song like “She” and “Grinning Skulls”. This is in addition to the 10+ other songs in progress, so we’ll see what else makes it into the EP. Stay tuned!
Mojo’s Pick of the Week will return next week. Rock on!!

Mojo’s Pick of the Week: How to Destroy Angels
Jun 7, 2010 Pick of the Week
How To Destroy Angels is the latest project from Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, featuring his lovely new wife Mariqueen Maandig on vocals. Self-produced and self-distributed, they are technically an indie band, but — not surprisingly — easily come across as slick and well-packaged as any major label release. At turns haunting, sticky-smooth, grating, and disturbing, HDA is highly recommended listening for fans of NIN.
Their debut EP dropped on 6/1/2010 as a free digital download in return for your email address at howtodestroyangels.com
