After nearly two years, Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco fame has re-appeared onstage. This time, this singer took to the mic for the I Love LA Eaton Fire Relief benefit show, which took place on February 8 at the Glendale Presbyterian Church. Each ticket purchased directly helped the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. Here, Urie showed off his jazz stylings with a cover of “Smile” by Charlie Chaplin, whose opening lines say, “Smile, though your heart is aching/Smile, even though it’s breaking.” Many fans shared and reposted clips of the performance such as TikTok user @_alyssayung_ who said, “EVERYONE… Read more »
This week we chinwag about Jess searching for her new apartment in LA. Afterward we chat with Valerie Morehouse, vocal coach for artists such as Sia, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, 5SOS, Brendon Urie, our very own Bowie Jane, and more.
Valerie’s journey started about twenty years ago, when she was diagnosed with debilitating nodules on her vocal cords. Having sung all her life, the idea of not being able to sing again was not an option. She devoted herself to finding out what causes nodules and how to get rid of and prevent them. Along the way, she worked with top laryngologists and speech therapists and found a passion for helping others overcome or prevent similar setbacks. She also prepares actors’ voices for stage, television, and film, including Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water), Tom Ellis (Lucifer), the cast of Nashville (ABC & CMT), and FOX sportscaster Joe Buck. Valerie also has her own podcast, LipRoll, which features conversations with her clients giving us an inside look at the industry.
The man who swore “to shake it up†is at it again, and in record time. When we received the news that Spencer was leaving due to personal concerns and Dallon would no longer be a creative component of the band it was disheartening to say the least, but Brendon Urie is back to let you know that he’s still up for a celebration.

Few bands have left as deep a scar on the alternative, emo, and pop-punk space as The Smashing Pumpkins have. Through frontman Billy Corgan’s uniquely gruff vocal snarl, melancholic grandeur, and wall-of-distortion, they’ve shaped not only the ‘90s alt-rock space but have embedded their DNA into the next two decades of rock music. Their influence rippled through everything from My Chemical Romance, who have praised them as a major influence, to AFI and The Used.
