Places to go, things to do, what to eat, where to shop and how to fulfill your life in the South Bay.
Welcome to THE MOUTH of the South Bay
Hello and welcome to South Bay Mouth.
Many of you may already know why this is site is called The Mouth, but for those that don't, locals commonly call the South Bay, "Mouth Bay." The South Bay is a section of South Los Angeles County encompassing a cluster of beach cities.
For a long time now I have wanted to create a place where locals and visitors alike can see what is going on and available to them in the South Bay. Although I have lived most of my life in the area, I realize there is so much to do and see that I was never aware of. I hear of great events and local fun and often when I share it with others they say they have lived here for so long and they never knew about it! So, here we are... My hopes are that this site will provide something new to improve the quality of your life in the South Bay. I do believe this site will be beneficial to both those living the single life and to families. Please visit the South Bay Mouth often to stay on top of special events, new restaurants/shops, bargains and sales, reviews and opinions, bands and music, a video from an aspiring Chef or even just a photo of a beautiful sunset.
Stay tuned for updates and posts and please leave comments and share us with your friends.
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)

You are such a sweetheart for sharing a little glimpse of pre-Idol Adam with his fans! And LOL yep your "38 second video" is infamous and a definite fan fave for both Adam's much loved shenanigans and also a tantalizingly short tease of a seriously rawking hott song. I adore Adam's debut CD and wouldn't change a note of its genre bending, all out musical party. But if sometime down the line Adam and Monte decided to release a Citizen Vein CD on the side I would happily fork over serious cash money for it, especially if it included (from what I understand from your vid comments this song is called) the Chalice.
Anyway, a huge thanx for contributing to the epic avalanche of Adam's youtube performance vids out there just waiting to reel in that next unsuspecting person who says, "Adam who?" and googles his name. According to twitter, a huge full page Adam interview hit the mainstream Times UK print edition this morning -- online version http://bit.ly/bjtGNh -- and it makes me smile to think about British people who have never heard of him plugging his name into youtube and getting pulled in just like the rest of us, looking up hours and hours and a hundred videos later completely hooked. And YOUR infamous vid will no doubt play a part!
Adam, who is Adam? Oh that wonderful guy in the zipper crotch pants who I just cannot get myself torn away from to do actual real-life activities, let alone participate in any recreational activities that are in any way non-Adam related? *whimper"
I can hardly find words to explain what your little :38 video makes me think and feel. It's sooo hot! :) Still dying to know the name of this sexy song and whether a full version is available anywhere! Thank you for sharing this little bit of history Erin!
Thank you everyone. I know Adam appreciates all of his supporters and I am glad I could play a part in supporting him. He is a lovely guy and he and all of the Citizen Vein musicians are extremely talented. The song in the video is Chalice, this song is not currently released anywhere for purchase but if that changes we will let you know!
You are very generous and thank you so much for opening your portfolio. Question, did you know Adam had something special when you first me met him? Doriangrey
When I met Adam I met him through other wonderful friends. Adam has always been a super sweetheart and he is very talented. He is special indeed. I am very happy for him and his new success.
