Promotional Web Video Rock Against MS Los Angeles
We had the privilege of being invited to the rehearsals for this years annual Rock Against MS in Los Angeles thanks to the Bass legend that is Tanya O Callaghan. And us being ourselves, we couldn’t help but get stuck in and do what we could to help; and what do we do best but make videos?
The Rock Against MS is a great cause, with the LA gigs being run by the indomitable Nancy B Sayle. This is it’s third year. It annually hosts some of the biggest names in Rock Music, and this year was no exception with Billy Sheehan, Joel Hoekstra from Whitesnake and Stephen Perkins from Jane’s Addiction all signed up. The gigs are intended to raise funds and awareness for the Rock Against MS foundation.
We got to hear all the acts rehearsing and putting together their tracks for next Thursday night down at SIR (Studio Instrument Rentals), one of LA’s most famous rehearsal spaces, and rental houses. All the musicians were signing some great merchandise which will be up for grabs on Thursday. Schecter Guitars donated two beautiful axes which you will see in the promotional video. and there’s tons of drum heads, guitar picks and so on.
What an experience getting to hang out with these legends. All in all we shot 12 little video snippets calling people to come and support the cause down at the Whiskey A Go Go. And rumours have it that there may be one other huge rock star showing up on the night, but I won’t breath a word. You’ll have to see for yourself on the night (EDIT: So Taylor Hawkins turned up and sang a David Bowie tune. Aaamaaazzinnng!!) .

Onwards and upwards, and here is episode #3 of Tanya’s Gold Blend!
After the bedlam of the last episode, Tanya reigns it in a little this time and produces something a little simpler and more intimate. She hooked up with an old song writing partner of hers, the talented and stunning Carolyn Cahill. The pair perform and original track called ‘Reason’.
Even though this is the third episode, this was actually the first Gold Blend that we ever shot! We didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into then or how big the project was going to grow; and that we where going to be working with so many interesting and talented people along the way.
If you haven’t heard Carolyn’s singing yet, you’re in for a treat! Sit back and enjoy.
Additionally, we’ve got some fun out-takes from the two of them:

Wow, what a couple of weeks it has been. We have been flat out here at Kerbute HQ creating some magic! Episode #1 of Tanya’s Gold Blend was a roaring success. We’re really proud of the project and we can’t wait to share more great music and video with you all.
Episode #2 doesn’t slow the pace at all. For this one Tanya got her hands on Dublin’s most loved ‘The Riptide Movement’. The track they played for us was kinda unorthodox for a rock group, and something the Riptide lads had worked on themselves; They threw out a left-of-centre version of Beyonce’s ‘Halo’! Just wait until you hear it.
In addition to the Riptide boys, Tanya also brought Brian Hogan (Kila, Preacher’s Son) on board for some lap steel goodness, and a funky brass section to fill out the edges. This was a full house by all accounts!

Here it is folks, the long awaited first episode of Tanya’s Gold Blend! And let me tell you, the series kicks off with a smash.
Tanya lined up the amazing talent that is Ryan Sheridan with a cover of Jeff Buckley’s ‘Everybody Here Wants You’, a rarely covered track (and even rarer do see it done justice).
She got him together with Artur Graczyk on drums (Ryan’s Band), Joe Leech from BiPolar Empire on backing vocals, Nicky Brennan on lead (also Ryan’s Band) and herself on bass duties. What an ensemble of talent!
