What an awesome kick off of the Sunset Strip Music Festival… 13 year old rockers Cherri Bomb tearing up the Roxy with their own original songs and a few covers of the Foo Fighters, Doxy and Ana Lovelis songs.  Rocks next generation opened up for Filter (hey man nice shot….) but earlier in the night got to walk the red carpet at the House of Blues for the tribute to Slash, who was recognized for his 20+ years on the strip made famous during the time with Guns and Roses.  The Smashing Pumpkins will headline this weekends festival.

I can’t say enough positive things about these girls and I’m truly happy to help them with their career.  They have a solid team behind them, a little funding for the 4 billboards in Hollywood and tons of music industry folks asking a lot of questions.  Most importantly though – they have a work ethic that is unmatched and a desire to truly craft brilliant songs that will hopefully change a generation.  It’s nice to see young girls making a dent in music and not sitting around playing guitar hero or rock band but actually playing their instruments and inspiring others to do the same.  Schecter guitars are a new sponsor!!
