It’s your bobblehead bassist Ferrari here sending out much love from the Cafe Americano Coffeeshop on Melrose as I type this post.(Super Hot Asian girl behind the counter by the way… ) The Cold Chills rocked the Loft Music and Art Show this past weekend in Highland Park. Thanks to all of our Faithful “Chillers” who came out to rock with us. A very special shout out to the drunk dude passed out on the bench in the corner,you made our night so much more fun just by being there. ( I swear his snoring sounded like a lumberjack buzzsawing a redwood….)

Anyway big ups to The Other Side of Morning and Fearmia for kicking ass and laying it down before we got on stage. You guys were Awesome…

Thanks Flip for keeping those drinks flowing for the people. We needed the Social Lubricant.

Be sure to come out to our next show at Club Good Hurt August 26th at 10:30pm in Venice. They definitely have some of the loveliest bartenders on the Westside…and Oh yeah, the music should be good too.

Download the album if you haven’t already, learn the tunes so you can sing along with Aaron at the next show. I’ll have something special for you if you can sing the words to Just East of Mars at our next show.

July 28th @ 11:30 pm @ Skinny's Lounge! Aaron's Birthday show!

Rob here:

The Cold Chills (sans Zeke) spent our 4th in Venice Beach at the Marina-Palooza music festival hitting various block, beach and house parties.  There was grilling, chilling and drinking followed by an awesome fireworks display that set the evening off.  Eventually, we all re-united back at “The Whaler” for  a nightcap.  The holiday was not without controversy though as Ferrari, “The Black Possom” nearly dismantled “Lil Mouthy Dude” for being rude but decided to let the coward walk on!  If you’ve never been down to Venice for the 4th of July, we highly suggest it!  Great times were had by all and we’d like to thank all our friends for the great memories!  There were not a lot of pictures taken but here are a few to check out…

We have another big show for Aaron’s BDAY @ Skinny’s Lounge @ 11:30 p.m coming up soon!  The show will be followed by after-party back at the GrimeLab.  More details to come!  Please download a free copy of our album and tell a friend…

From Ferrari:

What’s up people?!

If you’ve lived in Los Angeles for longer than a week you may have heard of the area of town designated for the famed and oft seen “hipster” called Silverlake. The famed musical haven for said “hipster” is the Silverlake Lounge on Sunset and Silverlake Blvd.

Well, your boys, The Cold Chills,played this famed Silverlake Lounge. We put on our Buddy Holly Glasses (at least Kevin did…) ,Chuck Taylors and rocked the Rollie Fingers moustache off of every hip cat in the room!

From Aaron:

There were some interesting and amazing people there all through the night.  There was a member of Bad Brains’ son there, whom I had an interesting conversation with.  He was getting ready to go on tour with his pop’ & Bad Brains over seas in Europe & Australia.  Turns out he’s going to play a lil’ bass with him on the tour.  Bad Brains has inspired me musically and personally through and through.  They are true pioneers of sonic and cultural proportions.  I can only imagine how amazing it would be to see them play there!  Thanks BAD BRAINS!! MUCH LOVE!! Go tear it up!

Thanks to everyone who made it down to the show last Saturday @ the Silverlake Lounge.  What a great time!!  Sharon Temple had it going on after our set!  Sexy, sultry rock tunes.  Good stuff!

We also had a wicked after party at Aaron’s house that went on for way too long…

Check out our Album if you haven’t already. It’s free to download! And…if you see one of our Ugly Mugs on the street, hit us up for a hard copy of the Album. We always have an extra one to give away.

Also we’re still grinding it out in the studio writing and recording new tracks…stay tuned!

~~~~Coming in JULY~~~

The COLD CHILLS Wednesday July 28th 9:00pm @ Skinny’s Lounge in North Hollywood!!  (Also Aaron’s Rocking Birthday Show!)

Mark it on your calenders & come on down!

P.S.S.S. I almost forgot…Our friends Static Pulse are doing a 4th of July show at the Key Club on the Sunset Strip. They will be opening up for The Spazmatics. Go out and support live music!

1.  Neil Young

Neil made the list because of his extreme passion and fuck all attitude (pure punk). He is an artist through and through with nothing more than pure expression in mind.  Technically, he is not the best vocalist nor the best guitar player, but his delivery and his passion is the bricks and mortar that built his career as “Hall of Fame” Musician.  Neil playing with Led Zeppelin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wCvUynhYRY

2.  Jimmy Page

I first started playing guitar when I was in sixth grade after listening to Led Zeppelin IV.  I was so infected by the music that I decided at a young age I had to hear it all day long while at school.  I devised a plan.  I wore a hoody that would hide the earphones of my “Walkman” (tape player).  I set the volume just right so I could drown out the drones of the teachers to hear the music.  It worked perfectly. This was my inspiration in the sixth grade and I refer to it today.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKyzyjfyuPU

3. Jeff Buckley

Jeff Buckley was the complete package!  He was a great guitar player, songwriter, with the voice of an angel.  He died before his prime.  I am grateful for what he left behind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKnxmkOAj88

4. Robert Johnson

The story goes that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil to learn to play guitar.  There is a lot of controversy on the subject. Check out Wiki for all the various accounts of his history:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Johnson_(musician).  Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton and many others covered Robert Johnson’s songs.  White Stripes do this one  “Stop Breakin’ Down”. It kicks!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EiwR18S6Ag&feature=related

Here is Robert Johnson’s version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui4668HODL8&feature=related

5.  Kurt Cobain

Skipping class in high school I was first exposed to Nirvana and it changed my perspective on music.  Soon after I was exposed to the Pixies and The Breeders. That is when I saw music as an art form.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UCb3gCtEbg

I started to think about the creation of music in a new way.  The rules, the scales and the theory are in place but passion and intention trumps the rules.  Don’t get me wrong, the rules are important.  As an artist it is important to challenge the rules.

Too all our LA friends, The Cold Chills will be playing have a happy hour on Saturday, June 26th, at the Silverlake Lounge!             Show starts at 7:00 pm

Sharon Temple goes on after us at 8:00 pm

Free Show, Cheap Drinks, Great Music = Good TIMES!

Rob here:
We had a wicked good time at “Activision’s” E3 show at The Staples Center! Although it was a week ago, our blurred memories are slow to return to us. Krazy times were had, such as “Makers Markaz” with Pauly Shore, Aaron simultaneously conversing/spilling beer all over Bam Margera and Me, confusing Vanessa Hudgens for Mila Kunis. Then there was my attempted HEX on the Lakers Locker room which obviously did not work as my beloved Celtics lost the NBA Finals to the LA Lakers!  Although it was a great series, I was left anguished and dejected. In spite of LA’s annual celebratory riots, Ferrari is still swilling the sweet euphoria of #16.

So then, at least for now,  the band can bury the rivalry hatchet for a month or so until the Yankees & Red Sox clash.  This puts me (Sawx Fan) against  Kevin (Yanks fan) in a abusive battle of antagonism!  Until then we’ll write, record and perform music without further contention, which is a great way to segway to the upcoming show promo!
