"United We Stand Festival"--an educational gathering of creative, spiritual, intellectual, and political leaders to unite and empower young voters-is on for May 10.

 

Update on Venue Relocation for United We Stand Festival May

• Festival organizers are discussing alternative venues with UCLA and anticipate a mutually positive resolution.
• Show date and times remain the same.
• Doors open at 4PM and the show starts at 5PM.
• Exact location TBD.
• More Info at https://unitedwestandfest.com/

Christina Tobin, founder and chair of Free and Equal, released the following statement:
“We are in discussions with the campus to relocate to an alternative venue nearby. I know UCLA respects free speech and wants to empower their students with knowledge, and I’m committed to working with them to secure an alternate location. Gathering all of these beautiful creative, spiritual, and political leaders is for a greater cause that UCLA should be proud to host. I’m positive an equitable arrangement can be made."

Tickets purchased for the original location will be honored at the new venue. People who bought non-refundable tickets, through IndieGoGo and elsewhere, will get priority entrance and seating.

All Ticketmaster purchases have been automatically refunded. However, due to inconveniences to ticket buyers, Free and Equal will now be offering free admission for all event attendees.

Xombiewoof Magazine is looking to the public and the music loving community to support its Heartbeat4Kids Used Instrument Collection Drive.

Musicians and Companies that want to participate can contact Joseph Timmons, Editor of Xombiewoof Magazine and Organizer of Heartbeat4Kids at xombiewoofmail@aol.com to get more details and where to send the desperately needed Used Instruments in ANY CONDITION, so we can start this year’s program.

It is our mission to rebuild and refurbish your old instruments you loved to become the instruments of love in a child’s life; it is recycling at its best! Contact us at xombiewoofmail@aol.com for info on how you can help.

Damon Castillo soon to release New Album “Mess Of Me” after Successful crowd funding campaign.

San Luis Obispo native Singer/Songwriter and Producer Damon recently launched an Indiegogo crowd funding campaign to complete his new album, Mess Of Me. With the overwhelming success of the campaign, not yet near completion, he looks to a significant release to a vastly growing fan base.

“Mess Of Me” is the follow up to 2011’s “Live At The Mission” and 2009’s “Laurel Lane”, an album produced by Grammy-Award winner Ross Hogarth. Guests on “Laurel Lane” include, Sheila E., Rami Jaffe (Wallflowers, Foo Fighters), Sean Hurley (John Mayer, Alicia Keys, Vertical Horizon) and Lee Thornberg (Tower of Power and Supertramp).

The campaign (http://igg.me/at/damoncastillo/x/6903715) has already reached its first funding goal of $10,000 in only nine days since its kickoff on April 15th. Through fan support, Damon will finish the album that he began recording almost two years ago at his Laurel Lane Studios, including mixing, mastering, design, distribution, and promotion.

“I’m totally blown away by all the pledges”, said Damon. “I can’t tell you how grateful I am for all the support. I bet there’s a song in there somewhere!” Now that the first goal has been met, an additional stretch goal will enable the making of a music video.

The album’s personnel has included longtime band mates Kristian Ducharme (keys), Larry Kim (saxophone), as well as new collaborators Aaron Sterling (drums - John Mayer, Sara Bareilles, Gavin Degraw), Pete Whitfield (strings - Kanye, Eliza Doolittle, Olly Murs), and nine-time Grammy-Award winning mixer F. Reid Shippen.

The campaign runs until May 12, 2014. Join the campaign now at http://igg.me/at/damoncastillo/x/6903715. http://www.damoncastillo.com/

There will be a CD Release Party at SLO Brewing Co. June 6th to celebrate the completion of the new album; Damon Castillo will perform at SLO Brew (http://www.slobrewingco.com/) on June 6, 2014.

It is 21+ show, and will start at 7:30pm. “SLO Brew feels like home”, said Damon. “I was lucky to be the first act to cross the SLO Brew Stage when Todd and Korie took it over in 2005! I can’t wait to come back.” Tickets for the release party are available here: http://www.ticketfly.com/event/547635-damon-castillo-cd-release-san-luis-obispo, Damon’s shows and events are sell out and often standing room only, so best get your tix now or you may have to wait for the tour.

Xombiewoof Magazine has been given an opportunity to listen to the entire album Mess Of Me . we will have a review for you and we are sure that you will love this album as much as we will. The review will be published May 14th, one week from Today after campaign has been completed, and with luck, Damon may give us a link to let you listen to a track or two, as a tease.

Here is the Video “One Life Stand” from Damon Castillo’s Album Laurel Lane, which enjoyed major air play and public acclaim.
