We are now actively seeking new western United States bands to play our showcases in Hollywood, LA and Orange counties, Las Vegas, Utah and Arizona. If you can draw 50 people or more, you're in at the major clubs. We also do acoustic and alternative rock shows at smaller venues for other bands who don't have a big draw yet. If you want to play, get in touch! We also handle PR, advertising, marketing, promotions, music licensing, festivals, label and radio submissions. We also provide full press kit services from photos to graphic design to bios and other info sheets that will make your act look great!

Hello new friends! Thanks for stopping by the page. Our purpose here is to expose more folks to some of the cool artists we represent. You can hear some of them on this page, and find links to their sites, MySpace pages and photos. If you like what you see and hear, come out and see one of our artist showcases or purchase their CD's! We believe in MUSIC first and foremost. The almighty dollar is second. We love working with new promising artists, and believe musicians at all levels work hard for their craft and deserve people working with them who actually care about them and their music first.
We are currently seeking bands, solo artists and acoustic acts to play showcases all over L.A., Las Vegas, Utah, Scottsdale/Phoenix, San FRancisco/Sacramento. You must have a draw of at least 20 people any day of the week.
A brief history of Rocksounds - Rocksounds Entertainment started in 1998 after founder Joe L. sold off his lucrative sports memorabilia business, dropped out of society and decided to rock and roll! Hooking up with The Fab Four - The Ultimate Tribute to the Beatles, Joe saw Rocksounds (then Radd Productions) rise out of the ashes of Scruffy O'Shea's and other disgusting venues, only to be soon welcomed by places like The Grove Theatre, The Cerritos Performing Art Center and the Las Vegas Hilton's main showroom, where The Fab Four still play to this day. Then, a complete 180 degree turn, Joe started repping unknown indie bands and helping them develop their talents and get their chops up for bigger stages, get label deals, airplay and licensing. It was not a cash cow immediately by any means. Still, never giving up, within 3 months of starting the new direction, Joe and the Rocksounds team was doing showcases at all the popular Hollywood venues, including the Whisky A Go-Go, Johnny Depp's Viper Roon, The Roxy, The Key Club, The Rainbow and more. Things were going really well in Hollywood, L.A., O.C. for everyone under the new flag of Rocksounds Entertainment. So what happened? Of course, we pulled the tent poles, and moved to Las Vegas. We decided that booking these huge strip property casinos was a good way to go. Well, it was cool for a while, but all they want in Vegas is cover bands, and the original live music scene was in a coma, so back to LA we came. Today, Rocksounds shows are going on in California, Nevada, Utah, New York, Arizona, Colorado, Illinois with plans to expand to more states nationally in 2005. But stay tuned, we've only been back in LA for a month, and we're still in the process of new hires, new bookings, new acts and re-establishing our old contacts as well as cultivating great new ones! We'll be posting lots of upcoming shows soon.
Some acts we have worked with include: Fountains of Wayne, The Beach Boys, Richie Sambora, The Melvins, Jello Biafra, Hootie and the Blowfish, Donald Fagen, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, America, Chick Corea, Lee Ritenour, The Little River Band, Dennis Quaid and the Sharks, Third Eye Blind, Brother Luke, Billy Hinsche, Henry Rollins, Ozma, Rooney, Tony Sheridan (the Beatles were his back-up band before they got famous) Franky Perez, Joseph Arthur, Kicking Harold, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, OK Go, My Morning Jacket, Steppenwolf, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Chris Opperman, Smash Mouth, Taylor Dayne (regretably) Mondo Generator, The Hanks, Darci Cash, The Turtles, The Grass Roots, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, The Buckinghams, plus hundreds of indie bands.
