October 21st - 23rd 2009
Shanghai'd :: CMJ showcase at 88 Palace

88 Palace // 88 E. Broadway @ Forsyth
(Dim Sum restaurant on the 2nd Fl of the Minimall)

:: BUILT BY MEANRED ::
:: MADE POTENT BY GOOD PEOPLES ::

RSVP for all 3 nights here: http://www.meanredproductions. com/shanghaid

Shanghai is a destination, a metropolis, a noun. But personally, we prefer Shanghai as a verb. Back in the day of saloons and scurvy, ship captains used to drug / kidnap their sailing crew. When there was a shortage of seamen, any able-bodied fellow who wandered into the wrong saloon, or drank with the wrong companion, could wake up with a mysterious hangover onboard a ship headed to the Far East...stuck on the high seas for the next 7-10 months. The practice was known as "Shanghaiing” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Shanghaiing

Fast forward to 2009: Just when the CMJ marathon has lower Manhattan in a death grip, MeanRed and friends are sneaking off to Chinatown, celebrating the best underground sounds in a dim sum restaurant under the Manhattan Bridge. We're kidnapping the music you thought you knew, kidnapping the expectations you may have had, and bringing the whole thing with us on a voyage to the place where East meets Best.

Join us for a three day MeanRed marathon at 88 Palace -- good music, gold dragons, red wallpaper, pretty people, pork buns. We are passing dim sum dishes throughout the night, serving up drink specials when you need it most, and putting on the best and brightest of NYC.

WEDNESDAY, October 21st
Fool's Gold Showcase:: Vega (Live), Donnis (Live), Treasure Fingers, The Suzan (Live), Kingdom, Trackademicks (Live), Sammy Bananas, Hosted by A-Trak + Nick Catchdubs.

In honor of the late, great King of Pop and Halloween, all guests will attend this Thriller under the guise of their favorite "Mike". Pack the dance floor!

An inspired costume is a MUST and there will be prizes for the best "Mike! As always, Compact Disco is FREE. We'll have $6 Valet and 2 for 1 well drinks until 11pm. Can't wait to see which Mike you'll be rocking!!!

Dusting off those dancin' shoes...

2009-08-26T08:30:00.000-07:00

Hello world! I'm up rather early after a fun night of live music...I went to the Dead Weather show with my buddy Lyndsay and we really had a blast. My favorite John C Reilly (Dewey Cox!) was in attendance...but I only was able to admire him from across the room. Lyndsay snuck a pic on her iPhone....can you tell which one he is?!

Anyhooooo - there's another evening of music tonight at the Purple Lounge! That's right, it's my monthly dance party COMPACT DISCO! I'm really excited to get up and select the tunes for the first part of the night. I think I'll do some singing too. It's a free party and we have 2 for 1 well drinks until 11pm! I hope to see you there...any requests??

OH! I almost forgot! We made Flavorpill! http://www.facebook.com/l/;flavorpill.com/losangeles/events/2009/8/26/mean-red-productions-and-hang-the-djs-present-compact-disco

Music Really Does Make A Difference

2009-08-13T09:12:00.000-07:00

I figure I'll try something a little different and actually write down some thoughts o' mine. Good idea? Yes! Last night was so much fun at Verdugo Bar. I actually had never been there before - even though I lived in Eagle Rock for many years....a long time ago...but perhaps the bar wasn't even there when I was living out East...East being off the 2 FWY. It's a cute space with bartenders who care - can you believe it! They have a huge beer menu and, let's say you order a bottle and step away for a moment...they'll put that bottle back in the fridge for you - because really, who wants a warm beer! Not me!

The whole reason for me being at said fantastic bar was because I was asked by my buddies, El Dopa and Ted Loc, to play some music. They throw a monthly party called Music Makes The Difference and since I love to select tunes and share with the people...of course I said OK! I already host a party each month, so fortunately I had my tunes all ready to go and I was comfortable with what I wanted to play. I'm not necessarily the kind of DJ who maps out the exact songs - I'm more of a "let's see what's moving me in the moment" kind of selector. And of course, I always try to incorporate my original work into the mix. He he he... El Dopa let me know that they never had a live vocalist at MMTD before, so I was very glad to break that seal. I think the most fun is mixing in one of my own tunes, singing it live and people not realizing it's me singing! I'm a trickster!

Also at the party last night were artists Christina M Felice and Francis Poland, sharing their work on the flat screens. Deejay Analog also played a killer set after mine! I just love when people join together in a creative space and set the vibe for what always turns into a lovely evening.

Here are some pics from last night...Hope you enjoy them! Next time I'll figure out how to record my set and then post it up. OF course, you can always find me at the Purple Lounge every last Wednesday of the month for Compact Disco! Besos!!

Here's something else!! Anne's International!

How great to collaborate on a track...and then find out that the track is getting released through a Belgian record label! YAY COLE MEDINA AND SLEAZY MCQUEEN! YAY MOOD CLUB MUSIC!!

Maybe you all remember the 1980's classic movie FAME? Well, did you know about the FAME remake that is coming out this September (Sept 25th to be exact)? Aside from it being a great piece of entertainment, the reason we're mentioning is it that Anne was hired to do some background vocals for the theme song! She got to spend a day singing with amazing Naturi Naughton (you know her as Lil' Kim from the movie Notorious) plus a few other talented LA based singers. So, go check out the movie when it comes out -- and listen real close to see if you can hear Anne! ;-)

OK! That's its for now...We'll keep you posted of other things happening soon! In fact, looks like Anne will be joining the stage with the ever talented OMNI during his live shows this summer. AH YEAH!

And The Winner Is:

Congratulations to LA's own Anne Montone!!! On Saturday, March 7th, 2009, the singer/songwriter became the newest member of the Scion A/V family by winning the Los Angeles title in their nationwide vocalist competition. From hundreds of submissions, Scion invited the top 10 singers to their Scion Art Gallery in Culver City to perform in front of judges Franki Chan of IHeartComix, Vice Records A&R, Chris Roberts, and Dave 1 from the group Chromeo. The twist? Each competitor was given brand new music and only one week to write, rehearse, and perform 3 new songs. At the end of the 3-round, 6-hour competition the judges announced a unanimous decision that Anne's vocal styling, her fashion sense, and stage presence made for an authentic and heartfelt, winning performance. Special thanks to Producer K12 and Fashion Artist Ginger McGann.

The Scion Vocalist Competition Prize Package:

M-Audio Studio Gear

Microphone

Headphones

Protools Software

Cold Hard Cash

A single released on the Scion A/V record label.

I can't believe that we're already at the end of 2008. It just seems like yesterday that I was a little kid, hanging at the Hum Dinger with my dad, sharing a swirl soft serve. 2009!? It sounds so far in the future -- and then I realize that it's just about to start. We're in the future - we ARE the future. Oh boy so heavy...and so exciting!

Of course, the holidays are always a lovely time of year - mixed with emotions, stress, family and friends. Sometimes all the emotions and stress come from family and friends! LOL. But seriously, I spent some quality time with my family and really was reminded how much love I have in my life. I am thankful for my parents (married 45 years in Feb!) and my 3 other brothers (12, 10 and 7 years older than me!) who all played a huge part in who I am today...and what type of parent, wife and friend I will be tomorrow.

I saw this commercial the other day and am so glad it's been posted up on YouTube. Coming from a home where my dad was present and an influential part of my life, I find great truth in this 30 second spot. Let's go into the new year remembering positive intent. Be the good neighbor. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Times have been pretty rough and I think if we all just get back to our basics, things can possibly become a little better. If anything, try to get through your day with a smile on your face - they're contagious! Happy 2009!!!
