Here’s our host for Rehearsal TV Nikki Calvert giving us some directions during rehearsals prior to the taping of a new episode of Hi-Fi Friday. For some reason this photo reminds of the movie Pulp Fiction.
Rehearsal TV is shot in our mini stage studio 1 here at Hothouse Studios in Santa Fe Springs, CA. Tons of band rehearsal videos are shot here atHothouse Rehearsal Studios.
A special thanks to Jeff Floro of The.Flo.Guitar.Enthusiasts Joe Mazzeo, of the Grumps, Henry Cendejas, and JimmyRay Hawkins for bringing all the gear and playing on our video. You guys are the best. Joe built a custom switch for us to change speakers at a moment’s notice, besides putting all those speakers in all those cabinets. An amazing collection of vintage and new speakers were assembled. Henry brought in some amazing amps and everyone loved his EVM 12L cabinet. It sounded amazing. JimmyRay brought a couple of guitars he assembled which sounded amazing and played some awesome stuff which really showed the differences between the speakers. The edited video will be coming soon, and some surprises.
Here’s an outtake of the video…Joe Mazzeo, of the Grumps, warming up before performing for the video.. He is playing his Jackson through a Ceriatone Chupacabra 50 watt head through his Marshall 4×12 cabinet with Celestion Greenbacks.

Wow, our good friend Ash had Deon Estus playing bass for his band Blendin Ashes tonight! Blew our minds when Deon came walking in for rehearsal.
Estus was born in Detroit. His bass teacher was the late James Jamerson of Motown’s The Funk Brothers.
During the early 1980s, he appeared as a session bassist on several mainstream albums, including Marvin Gaye’s 1982 comeback album, Midnight Love. After his bass talents were recognized, he was invited to join the UK pop group, Wham!.
He has also played with Marvin Gaye, Tina Turner, Frank Zappa, George Clinton, Annie Lennox, Edgar Winter, Aaron Neville, and Elton John.
We have been fortunate to watch as the band Blendin Ashes has grown from their first rehearsal here at Hothouse Studios to now producing this very nice video for their song “Wanda”.
TV Hostess Agostina Fusari & Paulina Garces star in this fun wacky adventure of a man who is in love with an illegal alien, only to find out that he’s not alone. Everybody else wants her and he has to share the love for his bride to be… also starring Esther Anaya, Onia Nevaeh, Lanea Amick and Ash Soliman.
Blendin Ashes is a mixture of rock, reggae, Spanish and pop music. The band hails from Los Angeles, California.
