Raging With My Mom at Ultra Music Festival

Fabian Ortiz Lulu and Alejandra at Ultra Music Festival
Ultra Music Festival celebrated its 15th annual edition by expanding over two three-day weekends (a la Coachella) making it the largest electronic music festival in the US and the only one in the world to take place over two weekends. Acts included some of the worlds biggest EDM names such as Tiësto, Armin Van Buuren, David Guetta, Deadmau5, Calvin Harris to non dance music artist like Snoop Dogg and Yesayer.
Overlooking the breathtaking downtown Miami skyline and marina at Bayfront Park, the festival brought over 165,000 dance music fans from all over the world - literally. The sea of participants adorned flags, shirts, hats and everything you could imagine to represent their hometowns, states and countries. Among those festival revelers was myself and my mother Lourdes whom I brought along for the ride so she could see for herself what the EDM festival craze is all about. Perhaps this adventure would bring us closer and maybe she won't think I'm so crazy for making the pilgrimage year after year to attend the biggest festivals out there. I know what you're thinking: "Wow this girl must be crazy." But in actuality it was her own adventurous spirit who wanted to join me. Perhaps it's where I get it from?

It's almost crunch time and Coachella line-up announcements should come about at the end of the month. Yet, this still leaves a couple of weeks of fake-line up posters, rumors, speculation and "leaks" to go around the internet and spread like wildfire. Remember when we could buy tickets at the door the day of the fest? Yeah those were the good old days. Today we have to deal with sell outs, scalpers, fence hoppers, astronomical prices for lodging and sitting at the edge of our seats hoping that this years line-up will be worth all of the fuss (yet it always is, isn't it?). So what can we expect under the desert sun of the Empire Polo Field this year?

Terminally Ill Guitarist John Doherty Recovers After Onstage Seizure

| John Doherty of Terminally Ill |
Last week, we introduced you to the semi-psychotic, wholeheartedly hilarious sounds of OC punk rap band Terminally Ill. Chances are, if you've been to their shows or seen any of their videos, you know the group would just about knock themselves out in order to entertain you. Unfortunately, guitarist John Doherty put that notion to the test, albeit unintentionally, when he suffered a seizure while performing last Friday night at Comic Book Hideout, a comic book store in downtown Fullerton.
The incident occurred in the middle of the band's set during their thrashing punk anthem "Box of Wine," while Doherty had taken off the guitar to sing back up vocals. The band was forced to move the show from it's original location at Malone's in Santa Ana after a power outage created a blackout that blanketed all the businesses and homes in the immediate area. Vocalist Glynnes Pruett of Cheetararah, one of the other bands on the bill, offered up her newly-opened comic book shop as a back up location. What started as a party, quickly turned to panic after Terminally Ill started playing.

We wanted to make a post featuring a collection of insightful, meaningful anecdotes famous musicians had tweeted this past week, but no one was sharing anything worthwhile (trust us). So instead, we turned to you for entertainment, and searched to see if anyone was talking about the music scene in Orange County. Here's what we found...

How does an unknown band from the Inland Empire get to open for No Doubt on one of the band's biggest shows in Southern California? It can't be as simple as Noise of Rumors makes it out to be, can it? In a YouTube video, the one-year-old band detailed all the steps they took to get noticed by Anaheim's fab four, which include stalking posting flyers outside No Doubt's studio, calling radio stations plugging No Doubt's latest set, Push and Shove, performing covers of the band's most recent hits, and creating a buzz on lots and lots of social media networks. Lead singer Cyn Electric tells us how Noise of Rumors, from Ontario, Calif., got the privilege of opening for No Doubt on Dec. 2 at the Gibson Amphitheater.
