The Fingers perform at Hangar 24 Brewery in Redlands (Matthew Schoenmann/Freelance Photographer)
Every week, we post brand new performance and interview videos with Inland Empire artists in our video series PE Live.
This week we were joined by Redlands jam band The Fingers for a very special holiday PE Live (trust me, we’re not going all Christmas on you just yet.)
Check out “Old School Disguise” by The Fingers below.

It’s another week so it’s time for another PE Live.
This week it’s a very special edition with The Fingers. We filmed the jam-inspired Redlands band at Hangar 24 on Halloween and they played some of their new material for us.
Watch the PE Live interview with The Fingers.
Check out “Never Alone,” too.
We have two PE Live sessions coming up and it would be great to see you there.
First, on Tuesday, Nov. 12, we are filming Naïve Thieves at ProAbition in Riverside.
Naïve Thieves are one of the breakout indie rock bands in the region. Their 2011 EP, “Le Sheik Rhat,” was produced by Casey Crescenzo of The Dear Hunter.
Visit www.naivethieves.com for more on the band and www.proabition.com for more on the show.
8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12, ProAbition, 3597 Main St., Riverside, 951-222-2110, 21 and older only.
Then, on Nov. 16, we’ll be at Hangar 24 Brewery in Redlands to catch the blues magic of the Chase Walker Band.
Walker, a teen guitar phenom, was a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition earlier this year.
He and his band will perform at the show and then will be followed up by previous PE Live guest, My Own Holiday.
6 p.m. Nov. 16, Hangar 24 Brewery Tasting Room, 1710 Sessums Drive, Redlands, free.

The Jezebelles have released a new video for “Chuck You.” (File Photo)
If you have ever wanted to act out on a revenge fantasy on your best friend’s cheating significant other, The Jezebelles have a video for you.
The all-girl rock choir, which hails from the Inland Empire, just released the video for the awesome song “Chuck You,” which is about getting rid of a no-good guy.
They filmed it around Riverside and you might recognize downtown spots like Back to the Grind, Pixels and Mission Tobacco Lounge. Let ‘Em Have It Productions, which did Alien Ant Farm’s “Let ‘Em Know” video as well as Hawthorne Heights’ “Golden Parachutes,” outdid themselves with this one.
Chuck is played by Sound Preservation Society’s Justin Fox and you will also see cameos from some other Inland musicians in there, too. Watch and enjoy!
The Jezebelles – “Chuck You” – Official Music Video.
Just like the Dose of Adolescence video release last week, we were fortunate enough to have The Jezebelles in the studio for PE Live a while back. You can even watch The Jezebelles perform “Chuck You” in our studio. You might recognize some of the video’s props, too.

One of the reasons Noa James is such a prolific and successful artist in the Inland scene is his honesty and genuine rhymes.
When he stopped by to perform for PE Live recently, James performed “Brezell Allen,” a song about his grandfather off the release “Intelligent Elegant Elephant: Humble Power.”
Watch Noa James perform “Brezell Allen.”
You can also watch the PE Live interview with Noa James about his work, the Inland music community and more.

Dose of Adolescence performs during the Merry Meltdown concert at Citizens Business Bank Arena Sunday in Ontario, CA. December 16, 2012. (2012/File Photo)
Dose of Adolescence has had a big year. After winning X103.9’s Localpalooza last November and opening the station’s Merry Meltdown show at Citizens Business Bank Arena, the Rancho Cucamonga band went on to play the Vans Warped Tour this summer.
Some of the band’s journey with Localpalooza and Merry Meltdown is documented in the new video for “Never Want to Say Goodbye” and you’ll even spot X103.9’s morning host Doug Durocher in the clip.
Take a look at the new video and then watch the Dose boys on PE Live, which we filmed earlier this year. You can even hear an acoustic version of “Never Want to Say Goodbye.”
Watch Dose of Adolescence perform “Sleepless in Southern California” on PE Live.

Quitapenas performs at Hangar 24 for a recent filming of PE Live. (Matthew Schoenmann/Freelance Photographer)
It’s not every day that you see an Inland-based band get some love from The Wall Street Journal.
However, the Inland Empire’s own tropical/Latin combo Quitapenas has landed on the lauded media outlet’s Speakeasy blog with the video premiere for “Mas Tropical.”
Check out the video below.
We actually had Quitapenas as our featured guest on PE Live a couple of weeks ago.
Watch an interview and live performances with the band below and be sure to sign up for the PE Live newsletter so you can get exclusive videos before anyone else.
The McKintree Boys perform at Hangar 24 Brewery in Redlands. (Matthew Schoenmann/Freelance Photographer)
The McKintree Boys have just displaced both the theme song from “The Love Boat” and “I’m on a Boat” as my favorite nautical tunes–and they did it with a song about a boat that helped people escape the Irish Potato Famine.
“The Auld Pat Henry” is a rocking number by the Inland band, which has plenty of Celtic tradition in its music. If you enjoy Flogging Molly with a touch of the Dropkick Murphys, this is for you.
Watch The McKintree Boys perform it with one of our PE Live videos.

There’s no need for a case of the Mondays when you have Quitapenas around.
The Inland-based tropical/Latin/Afro fusion combo has a mission and that mission is to make you dance.
Fun fact: Quitapenas is the first band to have congas on PE Live. Watch “Pa’ Palenque” below and kiss those Monday blues goodbye.
Watch Quitapenas perform “Justicia.”
Watch Quitapenas perform “Vamos a Mi Casa.”
Get to know Quitapenas in the PE Live interview.
The group’s next big show in the area will be the 10th anniversary of Riverside’s Dia de Los Muertos event on Nov. 2 on Market Street between 12th Street and University Avenue.
