Wally World & King Neptune is a comedic rock band from Encinitas featuring singer-guitarist Wally Passet (Snakebyte, King Neptune), alongside Ben Petrella (Echelons, the Drive-Ins, King Neptune) and Loren Kofsky (Infidelz). “Just finished up a new album made up of a few new songs and a few old songs,” reports the band. “There’s a few dropouts on the old stuff, ancient recordings, but the new tunes sound good.” The album was mastered by Louis Petrella (Sorry It’s Over).
Cindy Lee Berryhill began earning notice in 1987 with her acclaimed first album and hit song “Damn, I Wish I Was a Man.” A book by her late husband Paul Williams, Only Apparently Real, is the basis of an upcoming biographical movie about cult author Philip K. Dick, whose works inspired Blade Runner, Total Recall, and The Man in the High Castle. Williams was once a friend of the author and literary executor of Dick’s estate.
Mrs. Henry’s Chest Fever project, a tribute to Bob Dylan’s onetime group The Band, will be touring and playing songs from the Rock of Ages live album to celebrate its 50th Anniversary. They’ll perform alongside local horn sections from each city to recreate the original contributions from Howard Johnson, Snooky Young, Joe Farrell, J.D. Parron, and Earl McIntyre, along with occasional guests to re-create Bob Dylan’s four-song set. The tour hits the Casbah on July 29.

Drummer Jules Stewart is also involved.
