PE LIVE: Watch Davis Fetter perform ‘I Loved You So’

Davis Fetter, who grew up in Riverside, has always been a great sport about bringing his music to PE Live.

I’m just thrilled he’s starting to get even more recognition in SoCal. Lately, his song “I See Love,” which he also did at our PE Live session, has been topping the playlist on Kat Corbett’s Locals Only show Sunday nights on KROQ 106.7 FM.

Here’s the fantastic song “I Loved You So” that Fetter performed for us. If you keep watching you can see his acoustic version of “I See Love,” too.

PE LIVE: Watch On Being Human’s ‘Chasing the Sun’

On Being Human just played a huge show at the House of Blues in Anaheim over the weekend so I thought it might be nice to revisit the band’s PE Live videos.

We’ve had more than a dozen artists come through the studio since PE Live relaunched and On Being Human is one of the bands we were fortunate enough to have during the first run of the video series.

The Murrieta-based band is full of some incredibly talented fellows who also have a hilarious podcast about pop culture and beer.

Here’s their latest video, for “Unforgiving Sea” off recent EP “eVe.” A full-length album, “In Search of Adam,” is due out later this year.

RIVERSIDE: The Jezebelles release debut EP

The Jezebelles are the coolest.

The all-girl rock choir, which is based in Riverside although the members hail from all over the Inland Empire, just released their debut three-song EP, which just went up on iTunes. The release was fan-funded.

Alien Ant Farm drummer Mike Cosgrove produced the EP and recorded it at his studio in Riverside.

The group, which has covered a number of songs in a variety of genres, wrote three original songs for the release, including “Boys!” which they’re shown performing in the video below.

I first got to know the members of The Jezebelles last year, when I interviewed them for a story I was working on. Since then, they played the 2012 Hootenanny, recorded the EP, are about to film a music video and just added some new members, too.

Here’s the video I shot back in the day.

The Jezebelles will have their next performance in Riverside at Mission Tobacco Lounge on Aug. 23 with Za, Smear and Crystal and the Cutthroats.

MORENO VALLEY: Skee-Lo’s ‘Fresh Ideas’ album headed to stores

One of the things that has come out of 2013 so far is what I like to think of as the Skee-Lo Renaissance.

Skee-Lo, who hails from Moreno Valley, has seen his 1995 rap hit “I Wish” get new life with a number of Toyota commercials featuring Kaley Cuoco “The Big Bang Theory” as a genie, which debuted during the Super Bowl and have been on TV regularly since. (My wish was for my beloved Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl. Skee-Lo, if you had anything to do with that, thank you.)

Even though he was nominated for a Grammy, Skee-Lo disappeared out of the music scene for years. In late 2012, he released his new album, “Fresh Ideas,” digitally. The album will now be released in brick-and-mortar stores on Tuesday, July 9.

You can hear songs from the album at www.wegotfreshideas.com. Skee-Lo is active on Twitter, too.

Here’s the video for “Vibe is Right.”
