School of Rock Festival 2008

Wow -- the kids from the Hollywood School of Rock played the stuffings out of some Zappa tunes at the School of Rock Festival in Philly at Penn's Landing.

That's Dom on lead stripy guitar ...Waylon on bass, Zoe on drums, Max on the far right of the screen on guitar and Tommy on guitar on the left...

Nice job on "Chunga's Revenge," kids!

Stay tuned -- more vids from the festival to come...

Rock History in the making on the Sunset Strip

Rock History was made during a wildly awesome show at the Roxy on the famed Sunset Strip in Hollywood Thursday night -- Paul Green's School of Rock Music All Stars played with Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros frontman and Lollapalooza founder)and later, Jon Anderson from Yes took the stage to sing a couple songs with the kids as a super special surprise treat at the end of the show!!!

Students from the local Hollywood and Santa Monica Schools of Rock Music rocked the crowd out and then the All Stars sent us flying into a majestic universe of sublime sound and feeling -- and the icing on this Rock 'N Roll cake was that the proceeds from this amazing musical evening benefitted the Salvation Army and its California wildfire relief fund -- and oh my, Sugarfoots -- what a star-packed crowd!!! Best $12 dollars I've ever spent!!!

Here's some vids for you to Rock to...
