Those of you who have been following Little Rocker Media from...

Those of you who have been following Little Rocker Media from the beginning know that we are huge supporters of Invisible Children and their missions in Uganda. As their peers, we are extremely proud of them, and we continue to support them and their cause.

Which is why we are terribly saddened to comment on the passing of Nate “Oteka” Henn.

Nate dedicated his life to peace and education in central Africa.

He worked without pay for a year and a half as a Roadie and an intern at Invisible Children, a non-profit organization raising awareness about the use of child soldiers in Joseph Kony’s war and raising money to build schools and provide education to Northern Uganda’s war-affected children.

Nate’s family wants other people to have the opportunity to speak with their life the way Nate did; to speak with their hands and feet and humble service. They ask that if you feel compelled to act, honor Nate and donate to the Nate “Oteka” Henn Memorial Fund. This money will be used to support the Roadie internship and the awareness efforts that Nate made his life.

In a family statement, they wrote,

“People ask us how they can help or what they can do, and we know Nate’s heart was for making the world a better place. Nate’s legacy is the pursuit of peace and a future for the children of Uganda and the Congo. With just 25 years, Christ blessed him with a heart for the oppressed, and because of that he has touched lives in the U.S. and in Uganda. We hope people will feel compelled to join his legacy and support others to live this life of service.”

The Roadie Internship is a dramatic commitment of selflessness, a 5 month tour-de-force of living in community, traveling the country, and speaking to tens of thousands of people about the atrocities being committed in central Africa. It is all done by volunteers that work tirelessly without pay. This lifestyle of service became the statement of Nate’s life, and now his family asks that you give others the chance to live as Nate lived.

Since 1980, Roadrunner Records has been the home of some of metal’s most notable and revered axe-grinders. To try and identify the greatest of all-time in their extensive catalog would be an impossible feat, so instead, they’re showcasing just ten of their MANY great guitarists, and only focusing on those central to their US roster, which has been alive and well since 1987.

Rather than just show you the riffs that make Dino Cazares, Matt Heafy, Dave Mustaine and more so great, they’ve enlisted DragonForce’s lightning-fast shredder Herman Li as their guitar expert, giving insight into why each guitarist noted is so amazing from a player’s perspective. And in case that’s not enough information, we’ve also got commentary from Mikael Akerfeldt, Jeff Waters, Andreas Kisser and more on their very own ranking as one of Roadrunner’s best.

Go RIGHT HERE to see who they’ve called out in our feature on Ten Great Roadrunner Guitarists.

Mon, 21 Jun 2010 18:36:00 -0400

SISTER SIN is unleashing their sophomore album, True Sound of the Underground, TODAY. Last week, the band exposed their video for the first single, “Outrage”, on Bloody-Disgusting.Com, which was quickly adopted by metal websites around the world. With tours across Europe and over 100 shows through 2 full U.S. tours, SISTER SIN has rocked the stage with the likes of Motorhead , Ill Nino, and Faster Pussycat. Dedicated to head banging, true classic metal and rock, this Swedish import embodies raw and intense energy; check it out for yourself when the band hits the road with MSG and Lynch Mob ( * on select dates.)

This band is not into retro, retread hype; this is a serious testament to the raucous spirit of true heavy metal and Rock ‘n’ Roll. If you’re into rebellious, unapologetic, intense music then you’re sure to become a fan of SISTER SIN.

Mayday Parade stars in new movie "How To Make Love To A Woman"

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:22:48 -0400

Mayday Parade perform as a band in new movie How To Make Love To A Woman, set to premiere at the San Francisco United Film Festival on June 11th, 2010.

The feature film, which stars Josh Meyers (That 70’s Show, MADtv), Krysten Ritter (Confessions of a Shopaholic, She’s Out of My League) and Ken Jeong (The Hangover, Knocked Up) also features the acting debuts of Ludo’s Andrew Volpe, Yellowcard’s Ryan Key and hellogoodbye’s Forrest Kline and a band performance by Saosin. The movie will be released on DVD on July 13th, 2010 by E1 Entertainment.

Directed by music video director Scott Culver (Saliva, hellogoodbye, Ludo), How To Make Love To A Woman’s tagline is “a comedy of miscommunication between the sheets” (after the MPAA rejected “the answers don’t always come easy”), and follows lead character Andy’s (played by Josh Meyers) myriad attempts to improve his bedroom performance. He consults with everyone from a Buddhist monk to his grandmother to porn icon Jenna Jameson, receiving varying degrees of help. The movie is set at an indie record label, and was actually shot in part at the Fearless Records offices in Huntington Beach, CA.

Culver’s music connections also made for a killer soundtrack, including tracks by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, hellogoodbye, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, Say No More, Call the Cops and Jack’s Mannequin. The movie also features Ian Somerhalder (Lost, The Vampire Diaries), James Kyson-Lee (Heroes), Nora Kirkpatrick (Greek), and Eugene Byrd (8 Mile).

We’re excited!!
