press the flesh at Mercury & Capricorn Records West L.A. offices (1996).
John knows that local video helped push his bands album sales over the
500,000
units sold mark, attaining the coveted and prestigious

Oh Yeah, All Right!

In L.A. for a couple of Sold-Out gigs at the El Rey Theatre
(1996),
the main Cake mixer himself, John McCrea, takes hold of the Let It
Rock!
microphone and whips up a tasty Soundbytes music video ID for the
program.
"The Distance", and a retro remake of the disco hit "I Will
Survive" are viewer favorites.
Cake's video for "Sheep Go To Heaven",
features them as cartoon caricatures of a KISS cover band.

Jeff from Gravity Kills stands in front of the Westwood One
Mobile Recorder (1996). Jeff's crew was busy preparing for a live remote
later that same evening, featuring the hardedge techno band. Before
stepping
inside for their soundcheck, Jeff saw us interviewing Zak from the
Nixons, and
decided that he had something to say as well...
"You're
watching "Guilty", on Let It Rock!".

Scott from Local H is seen here recording his Soundbytes video
ID
for Let It Rock! backstage at the Roxy Theatre, in West Hollywood.
A
real down-to-earth guy, Scott was more than willing to spill some light on
his bands release, "As Good As Dead". Scott not only sings lead vocals, but
also
plays bass and rhythm on one guitar... both at the same
time!
Very crunchy and dynamic!

G. Love took a little break from the Hollywood heat, and
joined us
downstairs at the American Legion Hall bar for a frosty "Cold
Beverage".
His band, Special Sauce, was in town performing new songs from
their "Coast To Coast Motel"
album. G. Love sings, plays guitar and blows
the blues harmonica for the 3-piece outfit.
The soulful groove this
Philadelphia-boy lays down melts all the fine ladies hearts.
