Since the late 1980s, Rock & Roll has been the mainstay in the lives of both Caz and Tina and has shaped the paths they have been on - through working behind the scenes in media and journalism before stepping up to the microphone to promote and share their love of the music that means so much to them.

We talk to Jake Perry - Talent Booker for the world famous Whisky A Go Go on Hollywood's Sunset Strip. Whilst growing up in the 90s but by Jake's own admission, his whole life has been in a time warp. Raised on the East Coast he would fall in love with Horror Movie Soundtracks which would expose him to bands like Dokken and RATT and throw him into a Hair Metal rabbit hole whilst watching movies from The Two Coreys - Haim and Feldman. Wanting to plug himself into that world he would head to Hollywood and begin working for one of his heroes - comedian and actor Pauly Shore before eventually landing a role as PA for none other than Corey Feldman himself and later booking his favourite bands at one of rock and roll's most famous venues.
