Nate picked me from my hotel at 9 am. He was going to pick up his amp in the Valley and he was going to give me a mini tour on they way. We drove through Laurel Canyon and he pointed out a few cool places, then on the way back he took me to Amoeba Records – the largest independent record store. The collection of Vinyl there was incredible!

We had to get back, because the guys had an interview scheduled for noon, then a shoot at two. The interview had to be rescheduled though, because the guys were two hours late. Apparently they had stayed out to late the night before!

They showed up around two, well rested and after a couple hours of shooting, everyone headed over to the studio to get ready for the show.

The show was spectacular! Once they got on stage everything just seemed to gel. You can really tell they love playing live. The guys did two sets and the second one especially rocked. The videographer and I had complete run of the stage, we could go wherever to get the shots we needed. The band didn’t even miss a beat when one of accidently pulled a cable out. Thankfully someone jumped in quick and got it going so no one even noticed.

Afterward the band invited everyone back to a private rooftop pool after party in West Hollywood. There was plenty of grilled steak and chicken, and plenty of whiskey and beer. I had an early flight in the morning and left around 2 am, and the party was still going strong.

What an incredible three days! I loved getting to hang out with the guys and get to know them. It was such a great experience and a dream session. Right now the guys are in the studio recording.

I’m really excited for them, and can’t wait to see them live again!

If you haven’t already checked them out, go visit the Rock Band Project.

About the band

Day 1

Day 2



Today we would shoot the band at a couple of locations, in the afternoon, and close to sunset.

We also had to take time away from the photo shoot, to find an alternative venue. Not only that but how would they get a hold of everyone coming to the show, to let them know that the venue had changed. Stacey checked out SIR Studios to see if by chance the band would bee able to book the place on Saturday night. SIR didn’t have anything on such short notice. Fortunately the owner of Cascade finally got back to her and she was able to smooth things over.

After getting a few shots we went over to the Sunset Grill, and had lunch. Across the street was Mesa Boogie and I thought it’s be cool to see if we could take a few shots on the roof. They said no, so we hit a couple of more locations, then headed over to Nate’s place to get a few shots on the rooftop at sunset. While I was setting up lights, the guys looked over and they could see a barley dressed woman getting photographed, which got them pretty excited.

The rooftop has a killer view, overlooking Hollywood. The view at night is even better.

Afterward, the band headed off to the strip with the videographer and I following and we caught them having a little fun flirting with some girls outside the Body Shoppe. Afterward we headed over to the Rainbow to meet Stacey aka Rock Mamma for a drink.

Tomorrow: Rock and Roll Photo Shoot in LA: Day 3. Find out more about the Rock Band Project.

You can also purchase all 14 hours that are available right now for immediate download. I have already downloaded the recordings. Plus there’s a Pre -Summit special price if you want to take advantage of that offer. You don’t have to purchase anything but I highly recommend it.

I purchased the recordings from the first Tele Summit, and I’m glad I did. I wasn’t able to hear all the speakers, and it’s nice to have the materials to reference, especially now that I’m doing all my marketing and planning for the year.

I highly recommend registering. It is such a great resource, with so many ideas. And it’s FREE.
