Gabe Serbian remix, Stone Temple Pilots solo, Rob Halford jam, Berkley Hart holiday, Gunther’s Grass collaboration

"The Locust is pleased to present the official video for our remix of Danny Elfman’s song Cruel Compensation," announced Three One G label honcho (and Locust co-founder) Justin Pearson. "The remix was the last recording Gabe Serbian did before he left this world, making this video release surreal, intense, and cathartic. This new video was directed and edited by our collaborator Dark Details. The images speak for themselves with plenty of dark details abound."

Bassist Robert DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots is releasing his debut solo album, Lessons Learned. The first single, "Love Is Not Made Of Gold," features guest vocalist Jimmy Gnecco (aka Ours). Meanwhile, STP released an expanded 25th anniversary reissue of their third album, Tiny Music...Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop.

One-time Hillcrest resident and new Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Rob Halford performed with country singer Dolly Parton at the 2022 HOF induction ceremony. The Los Angeles concert closed with a finale featuring an all-star jam of Parton’s 1973 single “Jolene” that paired Halford with her and The Zac Brown Band Pat Benatar & Neil Gerlado, the Eurythmics’ Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart and Duran Duran’s Simon LeBon, Brandi Carlile, and Pink.

Jeff Berkley ("I'm one of the rare native San Diegans") and Calman Hart ("I moved here from Utah in the early '80s") joined forces as Berkley Hart in October 1999. Their annual holiday show A Berkley Hart Christmas takes place December 21 at the Music Box in Little Italy. The duo will headline a bill that includes Earl Thomas, Lisa Sanders, Josh Weinstein, and King Taylor Project.

A new Gunther’s Grass album called UR dropped November 4. "Hard to describe the sound or genre, though experimental would work," says bandleader Marcelo Radulovich. "The participants are Chris Adler on khan and piano, Scott Walton - who lives in France - on contrabass and piano, and me on hurdy gurdy and electronics. It is another one of these long distance collaborations, no actual playing together, full of creative approaches, playing and sound."
