1/3: BACK FROM Y&T IN SF, RADIO, TMS & PODCAST UPDATES, NEW MERCH.

Hope everyone had a great new year! Huge thanks to everyone at Rockbar in San Jose CA. I celebrated 2015 there hosting a show with Y&T and special guests Spiral Arms and Pushing The Sun. Great crowd and all the bands sounded really good. Y&T are simply amazing. 40 years on the band with it’s current lineup is still just incredible. Dave Meniketti is remarkable. Now in his 60’s he still plays and sings brilliantly. Y&T worked in some stuff in the set I have never seen them play, and I have been seeing them since ’82! This Time. Lucy, LA Rocks, All American Boy just a few of the very deep tracks they played. I was on stage with the guys to help ring in 2015 and count in the new year. I made a request for Straight Thru The Heart and Go For The Throat (they played Straight) and we all toasted the new year at what was 3A on my body clock on the W coast. Just a really fun night. Gary Holt from Exodus & Slayer was hanging and watching Y&T and it was good to catch up with him for a bit. I think Zetro was there as well but I didn’t see him. Rockbar is a new venue in the San Jose area. Really cool place. Very large club, great food and drink, really first class place. I hope they do great going forward and sincere thanks to all at Rockbar and Y&T for having me host this great night. A memorable start to the new year for sure.

My final year end special edition show is airing this weekend on all affiliates. It’s my annual 2014 year in review show with all music from last year. Please check it out and be sure to support new music from new and classic artists! Regular format for my FM radio show resumes next weekend.

Outside of that mostly some downtime hopefully with family and friends until things start up again 1/5.

12/19: THE ORIGINAL MERRY KISSMAS RADIO SPECIAL IS TONIGHT/THIS WEEKEND! DINGBATZ TMS PARTY TONIGHT, MORE

Year end special #2 and one I have been doing for decades debuts tonight on Q104.3 NYC and WAAF Boston at 11P ET. The Original Merry KISSmas special in on! 3 hours of all Kiss. ALL eras, ALL lineups, as it has ALWAYS been. This year I did a special set of all Kiss ballads to close the show. Over the years we have had guests on and also done wall to wall music. Always a hard decisions since in specials like these I find people want as many tunes as they can get around the holidays. So it’s wall to wall Kiss songs this year. As I have always said, regardless of whatever real or perceived drama is out there with me and Kiss, I will always be a fan first and foremost. Even if I’m not down with everything they have done (and who truly loves everything any band has done?)  it doesn’t change the fact that this bands music was a huge part of my life and my gateway into hard rock. I’ve said many times if certain members of Kiss refuse to do my shows that is their prerogative and life goes on. But that has never clouded my support of playing ALL eras of their music since I started in radio in 1983, and dedicating complete radio shows to them around Christmas. So tonight it’s KISSmas again with the shows debut in NYC and Boston markets and then heard on all other affiliates over this weekend on the usual stations at the usual dates and times. Please remember most stations also stream so you can tap into the show that way also. Q104.3 streams free via www.q1043.com or with the iHeartradio app. WAAF streams free at www.waaf.com . From the 1974 all the way through Monster, enjoy my KISSmas special this weekend and Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!

Next weekend is the Holiday Rush all Rush special!

If in NJ myself, Don & Jim will be hosting our annual Christmas party at Dingbatz in Clifton tonight. Live music and more. Come celebrate with us! We will be there around 9, music starts at 7. This is always a blast!

Incredible response to the Punky Meadows podcast! Grab it now free on Itunes or www.podcastone.com . Want to thank Frank from Angel for sending some cool Angel swag as well. Both are working on some cool stuff..
