Shane O’Brien busy creating new 2013 CD and Video

Shane O’Brien and O’Briens Edge these days in early 2013 are busy as can be either doing in studio sessions for a new CD to be made available at our Artist page at http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/ShaneOBrien in 2013. Also underway, we are completing shooting schedules for an accompanying Video.
As for the O’Briens Edge musicians, involved are members of several different Los Angeles based groups. The latest recording session which was done at Shane’s Jungle Studio occurred on Feb 26 2013. That session produced at least two and perhaps other new recordings. Musicians included are Paula O’Rourke on bass guitar {Alley Cats, Eric Burdon and the Animals}, Randy Stodola on guitar/vocals {Alley Cats}, Larry Valens on drums and Shane O’Brien on guitar and vocal.

A Special Note From Shane about the final studio recording session

I gotta say for the record here: It was great to have Randy Stodola and Paula O’Rourke of the Alley Cats stop in and take the time to lay down some tracks with me last week. Alley Cats have a long standing history in the Los Angeles Punk scene. I invited these guys to come over to my Jungle Studio and they accepted no problem, right away as a matter of fact. I’m pretty sure they knew to expect nothing but original music, either from me or them, so the environment was set before they walked in that studio door. Professionalism? Not even needed to be explained! They are that and then some. Thank you again you guy’s, you have become solid members of this Jungle Studio musicians’ family and know that our photo has been included onto the crowded Jungle Studio walls.
That same thanks goes to South Bay Drummer Larry Valens who I don’t think knew exactly what to expect and went with the directions handed to him without question. Made things easy for us

What’s Up With That
The acoustic/electric final production 2011
By Shane O’Brien
Directed by Edward Lapple

Look Forward to a Production insight by Shane O’Brien to be published right here soon…

Comment from Director Edward Lapple:

“What’s Up With That?” is a truly powerful blues/rock song, written and sung by Shane O’Brien. It is a salute to all US Veterans and an insightful question about how we honor them. This presentation starts out acoustically and then thunders into Shane and his band “O’Brien’s Edge” live at the Legendary Whisky a Go Go. Intermixed with the heart moving performance are iconic images which Shane picked to best reinforce the message of this song.
Shane has long been referred to as “The Genuine One” and “What’s Up With That?” on many different levels expresses his feeling about the way that our nation treats its true heroes and it challenges every one of us to consider “What’s Up With That?” Shane is a multiple award winning song-smith and this heartfelt presentation showcases him at his best, both as a story teller and a Rock and Roller. It has never been easy to express outrage at social injustice and, at the same time to make it Rock. With “What’s Up With That?” Shane joins the small group of artists who have pulled that rabbit out of their hats.
