* Most converters create an output file designed for one (or possibly a few) portable devices: Thus we have programs that convert only DVD’s to iPods and video capable MP3 players. Others that convert only video files to iPods and video capable MP3 players. Others (often called Suites) that convert DVD’s and video files to iPods and video capable MP3 players. Others that convert only DVD’s to iPhones (iPhones require a different output file than iPods and video capable MP3 players). Others that convert only videos to iPhones. Others that convert DVD’s and videos to iPhones. Others that convert only DVD’s to Pocket P.C’s. Others that convert only videos to Pocket P.C’s.

Hey Ken and Debby,

If you’re a fan of X, don’t miss this tour! If you would like to interview Dead Rock West, or see them perform with John Doe of X, please let me know!

Dead Rock West has just been confirmed on a national summer tour kicking off on June 14th in Eugene, Oregon with indie rock-god John Doe. The band will be performing double duty, opening the set as Dead Rock West in support of their new, critically acclaimed debut album Honey and Salt, as well as sitting in with Doe as his back up band. The tour will continue across the US in a 35 city tour ending in mid August 2007.

Dead Rock West’s sound has been described as “the jagged edge of country rock that brought such acclaim to Los Angeles legends X in the ’80s,” by the Houston Chronicle. Campus Circle calls it the “true evocative sound where John Doe and Exene Cervenka from X meet Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris.” What better way to compliment these comparisons than for Dead Rock West to team up with the renowned X front man!

“John is famous for being one of the coolest guys in rock and he’s proving it again by taking an up-and-coming band on the road with him,” says drummer Bryan Head. “John is a major influence on us so to land our first tour with him is a hell of a break.”

Dead Rock West’s debut album Honey and Salt is a seamless mix of high powered punk rock, the perfectly pitched harmonies of Americana, grainy guitar solos, thoughtful lyrics, and blends of energetic pop.

Since the release of Honey and Salt, Dead Rock West has been playing packed clubs in Los Angeles, had songs featured multiple times on ABC’s hit series “Men in Trees,” been spot lighted and heavily rotated on XM Satellite Radio, and garnered much attention from such publications as Amplifier Magazine and Los Angeles Times. The album was mixed by famed music man Richard Dodd, who recently won a Grammy for his work on The Dixie Chicks Long Way Home, giving the album that rock edge that Dodd is famous for. 

Dead Rock West is - lead singer Cindy Wasserman, lead guitarist/vocalist Frank Lee Drennen, bass player David J. Carpenter (Grant Lee Phillips, John Doe), drummer Bryan Head (The Plimsouls, Abandoned Pools) and multi-instrumentalist Phil Parlapiano (Social Distortion, Lucinda Williams).
