This isn’t your retired folks in a Winnebago. Burning Miles with Chris is on a mission to discover America, even if it means driving countless miles over the most God forsaken roads in North America. It’s a wild trip across America in a vintage bus as Chris meets the craziest people you can imagine. He’ll travel to Burning Man, The Salton Sea, Venice Beach…you name it and Burning Miles will go there. If you have ever wanted to take to the open road, join us for the Ultimate Road Trip.
While on the road I lost contact with Chris and this series ended abruptly. A disappearance unexplained. If you see this man while roaming America, tell him I want my camera back.
Big Daddy Roth interviewing Von Dutch back in the early-mid eighties. At Von Dutch’s garage/shop. They talk about-Von Dutch’s Dad, typography, pin striping and all that entails, gold leaf, squirrel hair for brushes, oil in the ground and sign painting.
Ever since Henry Ford created the assembly line, there have been car customizers determined to break the mold. This unique art form has produced true visionaries, customizers building both stars of the street and stars of the screen.
There are a select group of these artists that set the bar for all the rest. Their original creations establish trends that are imitated for decades. They are the best of the best, they are legends, they are true Kings of Kustoms.
For more than 65 years Gene Winfield has been creating the world’s finest custom cars.
Hollywood also discovered Winfield’s genius and the results were some of the most unique and memorable vehicles movie and TV audiences had ever seen.
Whether it’s turning a ’50s sedan into a full blown custom, spraying a classic Winfield fade paint job, creating a time-travelling DeLorean, or rocketing at 200 miles per hour across a dry lake bed, Gene Winfield only has two goals, to be the best and to never stop.
Los Boulevardos Car Club enjoyed three solid days of car culture in Northern California starting with a cruise up 101 from Los Angeles to San Jose with the crew from Starlite Rod & Kustom. We arrived at the Deadend Magazine Cruise Night for a perfect way to unwind after the drive. The next day Los Boulevardos cruised in and took 3 awards at the NorCal Knockout, and still managed to wake up early enough to line up for the Strangers BBQ on Sunday after enjoying late night libations thanks to Stoney & Brooke.
Depth of Speed takes us to pinstriping shop of Andy Kawahara. Known succinctly as Andy’s Pinstriping, his craft is a true unification of art and automotive. Josh Clason speaks with Andy regarding why he loves pinstriping and how the old crowd has embraced the artform. While most will unanimously agree, the art of pinstriping much like sign painting is a dying breed due to the vinyl industry but with that comes glimmers of hope.
Lennon bought the poster in an antiques shop and hung it in his music room. While writing for Sgt. Pepper one day, he drew inspiration from the quirky, old-fashioned language and set the words to music.
Every effort has been made to be true to the original poster and it is printed using the same methods that would have been used in 1843. Every single print in this limited edition is individually inked and hand-pulled on a vintage Albion press. After drying, it is numbered by hand, in pencil at the lower right in the form #/1967. Each print also comes with a hand-signed certificate of authenticity.
Printed on archival-quality paper and featuring two wood-engravings by renowned artist Andy English, this reproduction is a not only a beautiful letterpress print in its own right, but a unique and fascinating item of Beatles memorabilia. Properly cared-for, it should last at least as long as John Lennon’s original copy – and who knows where yours will end up 124 years from now!
Shivaree was a 30-minute rock ‘n’ roll series hosted by LA disc jockey Gene Weed.
Many of the top recording artists of the mid-1960s appeared on Shivaree, including The Byrds, The Crystals, Marvin Gaye, The Kinks, Otis Redding, The Rolling Stones, The Ronettes, Simon & Garfunkel, Sonny & Cher, The Supremes, and The Yardbirds.
The series was taped at ABC Television Center in Los Angeles. Most of the episodes used a multi-level set that resembled scafalding. These levels included elevated platforms for the dancers, balconies for some of the performers and audience members, and steps leading down to the main stage.
Shivaree premiered on January 23, 1965 as a local series on KABC, channel 7, the ABC network’s Los Angeles affiliate. In April 1965, starting with episode #7, ABC put the series into national syndication. (Episodes 1 – 6 are believed to have only been shown on KABC-7.)
Other cities got the episodes several weeks after they aired in LA. New York City, for example, was five weeks behind Los Angeles. (This guide lists the original Los Angeles airdates.)
Shivaree remained in syndication through episode #58. Cities across the country then aired reruns of the series through the Summer of 1966. In Los Angeles, however, Shivaree reverted to being a local series with twelve more episodes produced for KABC-7. (One of these final twelve, Show #67, taped at Malibu Beach, might have been nationally syndicated.) KABC-7 aired the final, new episode on May 28, 1966, then aired reruns through August 27, 1966.
Shows like Shivaree, Hullabalu and Shindig, hosted by LA disc jockey Jimmy O’Neill, was broadcast live on ABC September 16, 1964, with house band the Shin-diggers (later the Shindogs) and the Shindigger dancers (the reason anyone over twenty-five might be watching the show). Most of the ‘Shindig’ shows were broadcast in glorious black and white.
‘Shindig’ started out life as a half-hour show, but by January of 1965 it was expanded to a full hour. If you were watching back then you would have seen Darlene Love, Jean King and The Blossoms, Bobby Sherman, Fats Domino, (even Orson Welles), The Righteous Brothers, The Ronettes and others performing while the Shindigger dancers did their groovy thing. In the Fall of 1965, the show was split into two half-hour shows, broadcasting on Thursday and Saturday nights. On the Fall 1965 premiere show, broadcast from London (this would continue periodically), guests included The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Byrds and The Everly Brothers.
The Who and every other British invasion band played on ‘Shindig’, and the show spawned a plethora of imitators, including a hoarde of local music shows. n January of 1966, a year and a half after the series debuted, it was cancelled to make room on ABC’s schedule for ‘Batman’, which was also scheduled to run on two nights a week. Yup…those were the days!
Many of the top recording artists of the mid-1960s appeared on Shivaree, including The Byrds, The Crystals, Marvin Gaye, The Kinks, Otis Redding, The Rolling Stones, The Ronettes, Simon & Garfunkel, Sonny & Cher, The Supremes, and The Yardbirds.
