Monte Pittman and Kiley Dean in Hermosa Beach

Monte Pittman

Tuesday, February 23, 2010, Monte Pittman and Kiley Dean will be performing together at the Suzy's Bar Open Mic Night in Hermosa Beach.  The time is not yet determined, but I would say do your best to be there no later than 8pm.  Monte Pittman is not only known as being a great guitar teacher, but he has been a key musician in the bands for Prong, Madonna and his current position is as the guitarist for Adam Lambert.  If you have been to a Madonna concert over the past 8 or so years or if you have seen any of her live performances such as the Hope for Haiti OF if you have seen any of the interviews/performances with Adam Lambert from television performances such as the Grammy's, Oprah, David Letterman...etc... then you have seen Monte Pittman.   You can follow Monte on Twitter @Monterrific

Kiley Dean

Kiley Dean is a contemporary singer with 3 Albums on her belt, some which have been produced or had guest appearances by big names like Timbaland and Randy jackson.  Much of Kileys recent work included being a back-up for Britney Spears on two different tours and most recently touring as back-up for Madonna during 2008 and 2009.   You can follow Kiley on Twitter @KileyDean

DIVE N SURF Annual Yard Sale!

DIVE N SURF

Dive N Surf is a great local South Bay business that is known around the world, mostly in the Surf community.  In 1953 the Meistrell twins invested into the local sports shop with a couple of friends.  Business grew and grew and in 1957 the Meistrells bought out their partners and became the sole owners of Dive N Surf.  1990 marked another landmark year for the Meistrell brothers when they were "inducted into the Diving Hall of Fame and the Pioneers of Surfing."  Dive N Surf is still going strong today, even after the passing of brother Bill Meistrell, the company continues to be as popular as ever.  Dive N Surf is a household name to many South Bay residents.  I love that you can get Dive Certified through Dive N Surf.  That is certainly on my to do list!

"PUNK ART"

What is "Punk Art"?

It seems only suiting after my recent post all about the music scene of the South Bay that there will now be an exhibit featuring the art of South Bay punk music.  Local company, AMI Productions, formed by some South Bay natives has created an art exhibit that is on display in Hermosa Beach and features fliers, posters and other media that has graced the area over the past 30 years.  The gallery is showcasing the classic and world famous South Bay Punk bands such as Pennywise, Black Flag and the Descendants as well as those better known around the area and those just getting started.  This will certainly be an interesting look at how the Punk scene has progressed over the years.

When and Where:

Punk Art will be on display NOW- April 1, 2010 at the Hermosa Beach Historical Museum and is open to all Ages.
