Hey everyone! Hope all of you are doing great! This was a hell of a month on my side…
So I kicked off the new year in Sacramento CA and, when I got back, I only had a few days to get ready for the NAMM show!
Yea my life is FUN! But that comes with a huge price of no sleep, no me time, no friends and no bunch of things…. but overall…. I do get to hangout with some amazing people that makes it all Worth it :)
First day at NAMM was the prep time because we were going LIVE from the second day. I walk into my hotel with my great friend, Jacklyn, no makeup on and pretty beat-up from the night before (had a show at the Whisky A Go Go) and who do I run into??? I run into all the guys from Hell Yeah! hahah I tried to hide behind my friend, but she is half of me, so that didn’t work so well… after saying hello to the guys we ran into our room and started getting ready. The first night we all just hooked up and talked about how we are going to work the next day. and that was pretty much it.

The second day was rush rush get ready time, so I put on my Lip Service and march out to the Convention. It was a blast! Got to hangout with Dave Mustaine, guys from Testament, Hell yeah, Morbid Angel and many many more :)

At night was our big NAMM Jam party! For you metal lovers out there, gotta tell ya it was fuckin awesome! let me just name a few who played that night… Megadeth, Slipknot, Scorpions, Slayer, Machinehead, Hellyeah and sooooooo many more ! Now remember, this was a JAM so we had at least 1 or more band members from each band, playing all sorts of music! and my favorite was Iron Maiden songs :) by end of the night, Jose Mangin, my co-host was having wayyyyyyy too much fun so it was fun to watch him run around all crazy! I think we made a great team :)

The next day was the same… get ready and rush to the show… LIVE again! I just had soo much fun! but by Sunday, I was NAMMMMMED out!!! haha… and came back home :)

You guys can watch all the craziness on deanguitars.com/webcast and more will be added to youtube.com soon :)

I just want to thank all of you who have supported Metal and always will… the show was great and we had a shit load of viewers :)

I also have an announcement for you bands who are reading this…

Thought you might like to check out Metal Sanaz, rocking a Dying for Daggers dress, talking with Corey Taylor from Slipknot.

So we are coming to the end of this year! I bet a lot of you are excited about that!!!

Lots of people lost their jobs, their homes and their sanity! But the good news is, we are human, and we look forward to new stuff for change, so new years is always a good excuse. So charge your engines and fill up your head with the good type of gas and get in the pit cause the race is about to start again!
　
For me, first things first! Every year in January, I am at NAMM … I call it the BIGGEST Metal Party of the year. If you have never heard of NAMM, it stands for National Association of Music Merch. Every huge rock star from around the world and all the wannabes in one place! ;)

But the party really starts after the convention doors close!

If you want to come party and don‘t have a pass, just come to the Hilton Hotel or any other place around there. You won‘t need a pass or anything, you just walk in and find me ;) hehe So, from January 15th to the 18th, that’s where I will be and, if you can’t make it down, you can watch it LIVE on my MySpace page or go to synclive.com, grab your own live player, and embed to share it with your friends on your own sites.

After NAMM, I have a ton of traveling and a possible US Tour! Also, I just may start my own record label to help the bands I love! So keep your fingers crossed and lets see how it goes.

And when I am home in LA, we are going to be working on my new line of clothing with Lip-Service !!! Just wait till you see what we are working on! You will love them!

So, since its going to be a crazy year, I am trying to do all my cleaning and house stuff these days.

Looking back, I did a lot in 2009. Traveled all the way to London and hosted the Golden Gods Metal Awards (check out the video below!), then, back home in the beautiful US, I found a ton of great new bands and visited a lot of cities I’ve never been to before. A few of the bands I loved got signed and new talents were found …

Over all, 2010 is going to be good. And I will keep you guys updated on my life and bring you news that is worthy of knowing ;)
Sanaz

Yes, you read right, Metal Sanaz is bringing backstage rock reporting to the Lip Service webzine! She’ll be keeping us up to date on all the happenings in metal and sharing some stories of her travels and experiences (and maybe dish a little too). Should be one hell of a ride. Sit back, relax and get ready for Stripped-down Metal: The Scene Behind the Metal Scene (starting December 30!).

A little about Sanaz:

You all know that Sanaz has been a regular Lip Service model, rocking our newest gear season after season. But do you all the other kick-ass shit she’s been up to? During the past five years, Sanaz has carved a niche for herself in music, video, and new media within the Metal/Hard Rock scene. The popularity of her online content has received over 6 million views, 1,000,000 (yep, that MILLION!) dedicated fans on Myspace, and gave her the opportunity to serve as the Official Host of Myspace: A Place For Metal.

She has also co-hosted the HD Live web casts of Linkin Park’s Projekt Revolution Tour and Operation Myspace in Kuwait, which included Disturbed, Pussycat Dolls, Filter, and Jessica Simpson. Her hosting duties have also taken her to several military bases, a Dimebag Darrell tribute show in the mid-west, and numerous Heavy Metal and Hard Rock events throughout the world. She has recently embarked on a partnership with SyncLive that will include an Internet and Social TV platform for her interviews and other industry content, up to date Metal/Hard rock industry news, contests, other VJs content, and an online community for the Metal &Hard Rock genre.

Sanaz keeps pretty busy and seems to be just about everywhere there’s something important going on in the metal/hard rock scene. That’s why we thought, “Why not give our readers a chance to see what goes on behind the scenes.” We’re stoked as hell to have her as a regular correspondent and hope you’ll give her an awesome welcome to our band of Blacklist writers.

We had a few minutes to turn the tables and ask Sanaz a few questions of our own.

1) How did you get into heavy metal promotion and interviewing?

The idea came about when I got an offer from Hollywood music TV. They contacted me on myspace and asked if I want to interview the metal bands, I told them right away that I am not a journalist and that I am just a fan. They didn’t care ! They said how about if you interview Otep tomorrow night? and I was shocked and just said okay ! haha… from that day on, the fan base started getting bigger and bigger and the bands started showing a ton of love to what I was doing, so it changed my life…

2) What was the first interview or show you did that made you think, “Fuck! I’ve made it!”

Oh I still can’t think of it that way. I owe it all to my friends and fans on myspace. Seeing them support me and back me up all the time was the point that I thought I am doing something good. I always thank them for that, cause if it wasn’t for their love, I would have stoped long time ago :)

3) Who could you meet that would still make you feel like a teenage fan-girl?

Well I already met Kerry King of Slayer and also Iron Maiden, those 2 were on the top of my list but now, I want to meet Rammstein! I think I will go crazy :)

4) If you could go back in time and interview anybody, who would it be?

go back in time? Ummm, I think I got everyone that I wanted, but looking to the future, there is still a lot of bands I would love to meet and talk to

5) What was the first album you owned/bought?

The first album I owned was AC/DC and Black Sabbath. I stole them from my step dad ;) don’t tell him… hahaha

6) What is the album in your collection do you think people would be the most surprised about?

I have a ton of those! I listen to any style of music. the only things I am not into at all is rap and country… other then that, I love Madonna, cheesy 80′s dance music ( I don’t dance though! )lol, and lots of stuff like Enigma and Dead can dance and so on… if it moves me, I like it

7) For readers who have not gotten to know you yet, how would you describe yourself?

Well I am Persian, That usually freaks people out. I love relaxing and having tea with friends and talking. I talk a lot! Pretty much I am a very normal person even though my friends say that is not true. Love everything in black, my house my clothes my life. I live in a apartment that looks like a Halloween night every day. even though dark things are a big part of my life, I consider myself a very nice person. As long as someone doesn’t piss me off to a point of seeing blood, I am there for them. I usually get very mad a lose it every 4 years! hahaa… then I get it out by doing something real stupid, and I am good for a nother 4 years to come ;)

8) What are your must-have fashion basics?

Pants and Tshirts are my everyday look, but I am IN LOVE WITH LIP SERVICE clothing! I am not just saying that cause we are doing this interview on LS, but I really mean it. Top that with red lipstick and I am happy as fuck !

9) Describe your all-time favorite piece of clothing.

Picture Halloween without Halloween. Trench coats and sexy tops, Combat Boots and a pair of pants that complements the figure. mostly in Black or blood Red, or a very old worn out pattern.

The one coat that I am wearing every day now is the Red Lip Service DOUBLE BREASTED LONG MOTO JACKET… Ahhhh I LOVE IT SOO MUCH!

10) What do you have coming up in 2010?

There is lot going on right now… I have a 2 US tours that I will be announcing soon, also my very own line of clothing with Lip Service ! OHHHH YEAH! I am fuckin excited about that and we are working on it. I think people will love it… the idea’s were great and its in process… Also I may start my own record label… I really want to help them bands and make sure they are taken care of.

There are soo many bands I meet when I travel and some are very very very good! So we are going to introduce them to the world and get them were they need to be. I will be updating everyone as we go, so I would love for my friends to check back all the time for more news….

Check back for Sanaz’ first feature on December 30th!

Hey Kids, and happy Ho Ho Hum,

Holiday shopping got ya down? Hit the Lip Service close-out section of the retail website, where Drew is constantly adding new styles at blow-out prices!! Also come on down to the warehouse and check out our sample store area Monday thru Friday from 10-5.

Well, everyone around LS headquarters is pretty stressed out with the shipping dept. working overtime and designers trying to get samples together for the onslaught of trade shows that start first thing next year. We begin with the Halloween & Party expo in Houston, where we will debut our new packaged sexy costume line, then back for a week and on to London for the London Edge trade show, back for the weekend and off to Vegas for the M.A.G.I.C trade show.

So, the design team has their hands full whipping up the goods for Summer, and Fall 2010 seasons. The Spring Calendar/Catalogs will be in this Friday, as well as the new Service menswear catalog. Photo shoots for the sexy costumes Featuring Metal Sanaz, Lippy regular Brittany, and Britanya from Rock of Love are HOT!! And we have Vyxsin coming in on Saturday for more hotness!!

I am looking forward to a highly anticipated few days off around Christmas for some gigs with my band and some great parties!

Speaking of, my band “Cold Blue Rebels” have just finished recording an EP titled Blood Guts & Rock n Roll. Tracks we recorded at 4th Street Recordings in Santa Monica (We had a great time at the legendary studio!) can be heard on our Myspace page. We are playing this Saturday at The Old Town Pub in Pasadena with The Rocketz, and more, and will appear at Bar Sinister on January 2nd.

I did the Xmas tree thing with my lovely girl this weekend and, of course, adorned it with some skulls and pumpkins. Since it’s the first one I’ve had in many years, it brought back childhood memories of good times past, which I now get every time I walk in the house and get a whiff of that piney good smell!!

So keep the Scrooge away and try to enjoy the holidays, as I know they can be hard on some of us. Life only comes around once and its too short to waste one day being grumpy! Its a good time to put bullshit aside, make up with family and friends and just have fun with a great excuse to PARTY!! (as if any of us need an excuse).

Hope to see you this weekend or down here at Lippy HQ, I’ll be in the sales office so don’t be shy, say hi!!

May Your darkest Dreams come true!

Hello Lippy lovers, hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was extraordinary (as always, don’t hate).

I received a call Friday afternoon from LA Derby Dolls promoter Dawn Laureen to fill a last minute slot at the championship roller derby game half-time show on Saturday! After a quick call to the boys, the Cold Blue Rebels were confirmed to do the gig. I have worked with quite a few Roller derby teams across the country, supplying Lip Service clothing, and we also attended as a vender for the OC Roller Girls in October.

After rehearsal Saturday morning and a quick trip to 4th Street recordings in Santa Monica, where we are set to record our debut EP on 12/14, we headed down to Echo Park for load in and sound check. As soon as I walked into the building I knew the night would be a blast! If you have never been to a Roller Derby, you owe it to yourself to check it out. As a first timer, I found the atmosphere totally cool with festive alternative-minded people ready to go crazy cheering on the girls to complete roller carnage! Half the building houses the banked track and grandstands, with the other half the band stage, concessions, bar and vendors selling jewelry, clothes and knick-knacks.

The opening band was an 80s new wave cover band who, although good, was maybe not suited to the raucous mood of the night? We blasted through our set at half-time to hoots and hollers of a stoked, rowdy, inebriated crowd. They stop serving alcohol at after half-time, I’m sure to prevent aggressive craziness, but it seemed everyone was mostly in good spirits as Tough Cookies took the win from The Swarm.

Big thanks to Dawn and the LADD organization for doing a great job promoting an awesome up and coming sport, I am hooked!!

Back to LS this week and loving the rain, but disappointed to see it go away so quickly :( With our friends at Plastic Hassle, we put the final touches on the Service menswear catalog and sent it off to the printer today and also began our model photo shoot for our new packaged sexy costume line, featuring models Metal Sanaz, and Brittanya from season 3 Rock of Love! With more models and shoots scheduled, these should be some of our sexiest photos ever!

Don’t forget the LS sample and retail store is opened Mon-Fri. 10-5 for all your Holiday shopping.

And I’ll mention again Mr Arturos Coffin Furniture is very cool. I’ve included some photos this week and we have 1 on display here in the retail store. These can be made to order in various sizes, styles and colors. Contact me here for orders 323-260-7308 ext.214

I had a visit last week from Gretchen Bonaduce and her man Kevin Starr drummer for her band Ankh and also the target=”_blank”>Lords of Altamont. They did some shopping and I hooked ‘em up phat! I know Kevin from the musician world and Gretchen was very nice and seemed like really cool person. The next day Jake, singer for Lords of Altamont, came by for more goodies for himself and the rest of the band. These guys are a great band in the Iggy Pop, Mc5 vein of dirty rock! They have been busy with tons of European tours but do frequently play LA, so check em out!

If you’re looking for something different this weekend check out the SO Cal Zombie walk this one takes place in Pasadena where a bunch of Zombie-loving freaks dress up and … well … walk!! Great fun! I have done several and it’s always a blast.

That’s all for this week. Stay cool and remember, it’s the Holiday season, so don’t drink and drive or ya might spill your drink!! No, but seriously, take a cab and live to open your presents!! Not to mention, DUI’s suck ass!!
