“If it works, don’t fix it” is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot, and with good reason. It seems like as soon as you get comfortable with something, or figure out how it operates, it changes – and usually not for the better (see: FaceBook).

The East Portland Blog has picked up some seriously vintage Worley Gig archival gems and you can read all of my thoughts on Asia’s “Heat of The Moment” (and watch the video!) now at This Link.
Here at The Worley Gig, we really get excited when we receive surprise packages in the mail, or via UPS even! Today we squealed with delight as we opened up a box from Alex over at The NeatoShop that was stuffed with useful goodies such as:
NJ based quintet Those Mockingbirds really show their sonic progression from a somewhat indie-pop outfit to a band that’s not afraid to “Rock Out With Their Mock Out,” as you can hear on “Coast to Coast,” the group’s latest single release from their as-yet-untitled, upcoming EP. Lead vocalist Adam Bird has been a friend to The ‘Gig for years now and it gives me extreme pleasure to return the favor by turning my readers on to a truly fun and talented band. If you enjoy a melodic sound backed by crunchy riffs with the occasional violin thrown in for art’s sake, I invite you to listen to “Coast to Coast” for free at This Link. Find out when Those Mockingbirds will invade your town with one of their off-the-perch live performances at their official Website.
I just heard that Singer Amy Winehouse has passed away today, July 23, 2011, at her home in London. Details can be found at This Link. What a sad waste of a life and a true talent. RIP Amy.
