Metal Monday Part 1: Cobra Venom at Skinny's 4/30

After a month of hiding in the studio and doing some record release prep, Cobra Venom is ready for battle.  More on that soon but for now, since football is at least 4 months away, get your Monday night violence fix with some metal! We're on at 8:30.

My interview with Rock Over America Magazine!

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Mark Lewis about drumming, composing, Cobra Venom, The Starmind Record and my newest 8 Sided Films project, Quantum Theory.  Many thanks to Gerard Marzilli and Lon Haber for introducing me to Mark!  Check out our conversation below and check out Mark's work at Rock Over America Magazine.

The Starmind Record at the HollyWeb Festival

Last year, I finally stopped thinking about composing and just did it.  Just so happened that the electronic score I had in mind for this modern sci-fi documentary was exactly what writer/director Tennyson Stead wanted to help tell the story.  Much was learned and a lot of fun was had.  Here's a little taste of how it turned out:

Dan Hegarty - The Starmind Record Sampler

This weekend, The Starmind Record will show at Hollyweb.  Come say hi if you're in LA this Saturday at noon (that's when the screening happens).  If you're not in town, you can watch the series online.  Enjoy and remember, The Stars Are Black....

Metallica in LA on St. Patrick's Day!

Well, MY version of Metallica! :) If you're in town, come to Cheetah's in Hollywood and bang your head against the stage like you never did before with Cliff 'Em All! Bring singles too for the ladies at Cheetah's, too.  

Cobra Venom on The Queen Mary this Saturday (3/10/12)!

We're playing with the big boys now.  This 2-day festival includes bands such as All Shall Perish, Carnifex and iwrestledabearonce - all of which are playing on Saturday along with Cobra Venom.  A lot of great bands from LA will be playing as well, including our good friends Panties and some of my fellow MI alums in  Jameson and Mouth Of The Serpent.  I'm very excited about the gig and hopefully all the mayhem won't capsize the Queen Mary.  However if it did, that would be so unbelievably metal it would be worth it! :)

FREE show with Cobra Venom on Friday 2/17!

The details are above and a sample of what you're in for can be seen below.  This song also appears on the upcoming Cobra Venom album.  Come thrash with us!

ME in Metallica!

This Saturday night, I'm gonna get as close as I've ever been to playing in my all-time favorite band. Cliff 'Em All is doing a full-on, 90-minute set at The Tilted Kilt in Long Beach right after the UFC fight. Chris, John, Menno and I have been busting our asses to bring this genre-defining metal back to life and so far the response has been incredible. If you're in the area and you love Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning and Master Of Puppets, make it your mission to get out to see Cliff 'Em All!
