Our own Stephen Chilton recently spoke with Kyle Lamont and the Concert Cast Podcast about his involvement with NIVA (the National Independent Venue Association) and his forecast for the return of live music.
MAKE IT LOUD is a new live panel discussion series on how to make it as a new artist in today’s music industry. Hosted by Stephen Chilton and Jeff Taylor of Psyko Steve Presents, MAKE IT LOUD is a monthly series of talks with a curated lineup of special guests. The guests include industry figures in Arizona’s music business, as well as established musicians on a wide range of topics aimed at helping new artists learn how to navigate an ever changing music industry.
The second talk in the MAKE IT LOUD series, titled “A Discussion On Audio Recording,” will be a conversation with some of the Valley’s most respected producers and engineers. We will discuss tips for recording, the current state of audio production, and more.
Chilton and Taylor will be joined by guests Bob Hoag, Cory Spotts and Catherine Vericolli.

A few weeks ago I hosted the first Phoenix Rock Lottery at the Crescent Ballroom. On February 9th 18 local musicians meet. We formed 4 bands randomly that morning. Then they had to wright 3 songs + learn a cover in the afternoon. That night they performed those songs at the Crescent Ballroom. This is a video of Bitch Choir performing their one and only show.
BITCH CHOIR is: Jason Roedl (of Mergence), Matthew Noakes (of Black Carl), Jim Adkins (of Jimmy Eat World), David Moroney (of Wooden Indian), and Lindsay Cates (of Pick N Hollar)
This video was filmed and edited by by James Kelley (youtube.com/muchrockness). The Audio was recorded by Andrew Winhold.
The proceeds that night went to Rosie’s House.
Last week I put on the IAMWE CD Release show at Crescent Ballroom. I worked with the greet people at Electric Legend Pictures to make this video spotlighting the band and their show at Crescent. If you have not heard of them it is worth a glance.
I just updated the Psyko Steve Presents playlist on Spotify. You can get to it here.
For those of you who use Spotify this is a great way to check out some of the music I am bringing to town. I am sure few of you will like everything I am bringing, but there is bound to be something in there you fall in love with. Right now all the songs have a floky vibe. For what ever reason all the shows on my books right now have that vibe.
There are songs form OLD MAN MARKLEY, ROCKY VOTOLATO, THE DROWNING MEN, RIVER CITY EXTENSION, THE FRONT BOTTOMS, CORY BRANAN, AUDRA MAE and JAY BRANNAN.
New feature I want to start here is posting a music video right here everyday for diffrent shows I have coming up.
To start I thought I would start with a new(ish) local band that I have been a big fan off. Bears of Manitou just released this self made video for “Your Story.” I have been ranting for a while that more bands should be working on videos like this so it seemed appropriate to suport this in some small way.
They are playing at the Hard Rock Cafe tonight with SUCRÉ, a new band that features members of Eisley & Mute Math. You can still buy tickets here.
