MONTE PITTMAN (from Madonna and Adam Lambert) Tomorrow in Hermosa Beach!

Tuesday, February 2, 2010, South Bay people are in for a treat.  Monte Pittman, the guitar player and teacher for Madonna, Prong and also for the American Idol favorite Adam Lambert, will be performing during an OPEN MIC Night at Suzy's Bar in Hermosa Beach.  Not sure exactly what time Monte will be on stage but he will be getting there to be ready to go up at about 7pm.  He is very talented, not only for his great guitar skills but he is an amazing song writer with a beautiful voice.  Monte is very all around as a musician so this is a great opportunity to see him perform in a small local venue.  You can listen to his album that was released a few months ago on cd baby here.  My personal favorite of his songs is called "After the Last Wave."

We hope to see you there. :)

Adam Lambert and all his Glam...

I can not believe that the new season of American Idol has just started, it seems like just yesterday we were watching Adam's try outs and being so excited that he was so well received.   I remember I was with friends in New York when we found out that Adam had made it in to the top and we were all so excited.  Over a year has passed since then and it has been so amazing to watch his growth.  It cracks me up when I read comments from all of his fans, they write some crazy things sometimes, but wow he really is loved.  Of course Adam is a bit controversial to some, but he is himself and we think he is amazing and talented.  How he chooses to live his life just adds to his beauty and character and we are all so happy for his success.

Once upon a time Adam was the singer for Citizen Vein.  The Citizen Vein was Monte Pittman (guitar player and teacher for Madonna and also guitar player for Prong), Steve Sidelnyk (drummer for Madonna),  Tommy Victor (lead singer and guitarist for Prong) and the now ever so popular Adam Lambert. Wow those days seem like yesterday, but the reality is they will never be the same.  Now Monte is Adam's guitar player and both Monte and Adam released their own albums at the end of 2009.  Go on out and support them!  You can find the album, The Deepest Dark for Monte Pittman at CDBABY, my favorite song is "After the Last Wave" because it has two of my great friends singing together on it.

On a last final note, I finally checked my Youtube account today and my world famous "38 second video" has nearly 100,000 views.  It cracks me up!  I took the video in early 2007 at the Citizen Vein show, took it down during all the AI stuff and then reopened it to the public when Adam made it in to the top ten.  I never really noticed the funny things in the video that the viewers can not seem to disregard, but it has been a fun adventure seeing all the love that Glambert and Monte get from the fans. :) Here is the video that made me famous! LOL (I put all the text there so people would not steal it, that did not work, it was all over the internet very quickly and they all figured out how to remove it)
