Recently the San Diego Reader published an article about our performance at the Ultimate Music Challenge at Viejas Casino. You can read the article here.

Here the video someone managed to take.

Last weekend was more good times at the “Ho” (Second Wind Navajo). It was a small crowd on Friday, but we cut loose and had a blast. I guess everyone was resting up for Saturday as it was pretty packed all night. Our friends Leon and Mike were celebrating their birthday. Also Tony and Alli recently got engaged, so congratulations to you two kids. Spike from Children of the Grave made an appearance and played a couple of Black Sabbath songs on bass.

On 4/27/09 we competed in the Ultimate Music Challenge at Viejas. For a listing of the bands check out this page of our blog or www.ultimatemusicchallenge.com. We were fortunate enough to advance to the semi final round thanks to the great fan support. I never got the judges scores, but I have heard it was very close and fans probably were the deciding factor, so THANK YOU! For a review of the performance head over to the UMC blog at http://ultimatemusicchallenge3.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/week-2-april-26/ . Lots of people chime in with comments and it’s good reading.

On 3-28-09 we headed up to Orange County and sat in for a couple of songs with Damage Inc at the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet. This is a really cool venue! There was a nice big stage, great sound system and thousands of people. We will be playing there on 5-16-09. Thanks to Damage Inc for hooking us up!

We also booked a gig in June at 4th & B downtown San Diego. We’re all pretty stoked to be playing there.

For now we are still gearing up for the UMC. We ask, plead and beg for YOU TO BE THERE!

Ultimate Music Challenge

On 2/13/09 we had a great show at Canes. As usual, Damage Inc and Atomic Punks were a lot of fun to hang out with and rocked the house. The place was pretty packed – thanks to those of you who were able to come!

So, this DJ from Palomar College caught our show at Cane’s and invited us in for an interview. The show is called “Anything Goes with The Big J.D.”. You can check out his MySpace profile at http://www.myspace.com/kksmanythinggoes . It’s scheduled for this Saturday, March 21st from 1:00- 2:00pm. It will be simulcast on Cox Digital Cable Channel 957 and online at http://www.palomar.edu/kksm/live.html

This summer we’ll be playing at a couple of new venues, Riley’s Music Lounge and 710 Beach Club. You can get the gig details at http://monstersofrockband.com/gig-calendar/.

We’ve decided once again the enter the Ultimate Music Challenge at Viejas Casino. Last year we did quite well taking third place. With the help of lots of screaming fans perhaps we can do it again. The competition runs April 19th through June 28th.

Hopefully you’ve noticed the share and subscribe buttons added to the site. This makes it easy to add a bookmark, email an article or add to your favorite feed reader.

Until next time, rock on. Oh, and Happy St. Patty’s Day!

Well, I guess I’m way overdue for an update. It sort of sad that the guy who has trouble remembering what was for lunch is in charge of keeping you all updated, but I do what I can.

We’ve had a lot of musicians lurking about our gigs recently, which we take as a big compliment. We’ve had the drummers from The Shambles, Cage, and 5 Miles High sit in with us as well as a couple of the guys from 619. Some of the guys I’ve also spotted were from Alice and the Cooper Gang, Dust N Bones, Top Dog, Big Toe, Slavior / Michael Schenker Group . I’m sure there were more, but like I said – uh what was I talking about?

Tomorrow 2-13-09  we’ll be at Canes with Atomic Punks and Damage Inc. , so I’m putting some new drum heads on tonight and hopefully finally Ron will purchase a decent microphone before the show.

The Second Wind bars are haing us back for the next quarter, so thanks for your support.

On behalf of everyone here at Monsters of Rock, we hope you had a great Christmas (or what ever you may celebrate) and have a safe and rockin’ New Year.
