Energy is a powerful force, and the beautiful Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach was glowing with positive energy Sunday night. Kathryn Cloward’s double album release party, which featured the albums “Ripple Love” and “Secret Keeper”, brought on a feeling of cheerfulness that left no face in the crowd with anything less than an ear […]
Isreal’s popular music is as diverse as any other country’s would be, with a mixture of Hebrew and English, Religious and Secular, and a melding of tradition and experimentation.

Recently, I had the pleasure of seeing Ministry live at San Diego’s House of Blues. There was only one opening band HO99O9, pronounced “Horror” and they started the party right.
