WESTSIDE WED. DJ VICIOUS LEE's BDAY TONIGHT!

House Of Vibe's annual holiday show is tonight at 9:30 @ Harvelle's - 1432 4th St. (at Broadway) in Santa Monica. Tis the season, so bring an unwrapped toy and it's free before 10pm!!

And even though he did it up big for his 40th, we're still gonna make a fuss, cuz DJ Vicious Lee is the SHIT! And here's a poem I dedicate to the man! Originally written and performed by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 in their song It's Nasty (Genius Of Love):
He's the king of the cuts on two turntables
He's the GRAND, GRAND, the master man
He's so nice with his hands he don't need no band
Rocks 45's, and 33's
Rocks boys men women and young ladies
He can slice so precise it's almost funny
And he makes better love than a mint makes money
Happy Birthday DJ VL!

Tony Tarasco Takes A Bride

Congratulations to Tony Tarasco (aka Jack Jack)! On November 26, he traded in his bachelorhood for the beautiful, fun and effervescent Candise - the bartender from Harvelle's! It was time to celebrate, so we took the whole House Of Vibe and extended fam out to Gladstone's in Malibu for a ocean side night of partying.

Hangin' with Victor Orlando

(l—r :Victor Orlando, T-Smidi, Brew, Corey & Deploi)

 The HOV guys hanging at Harvelle's with Victor Orlando, one of the premier conga/bongo -ists of our generation. The much-sampled V.O. can be heard playing the key riff in The Gap Band's "Outstanding"

This riff was sampled most prominently in this hot 90s duet between Da Brat and The Notorious B.I.G. "Da B Side"

Amy Winehouse

it is really sad that such a great talent had to leave so early. there are a lot of feelings/opinions that people may have but most of all.....someone lost a daughter,and maybe a sister .......sad.

my favorite is Amy live doing The Specials version of (Toots And the Maytals') "Monkey Man"
Toots And The Maytals "Monkey Man"
