-Just discovered not too long ago that there’s a page on ReverbNation that is solely dedicated to the CAROLINE BLUE song “Love Me or Leave Me” off the CD “Not For The Innocent.” Not sure why this is but if you haven’t heard it yet-here ya go 🙂 Hope everyone is having a great weekend! \m/
CAROLINE BLUE is now on the VERO Social Network. Download the app via Apple or Droid and feel free to add CAROLINE BLUE when you do. (It looks like it’s all App based-I couldn’t find a URL for visiting via desktop / laptop / tablet so…) Thanks!
Tonight is the first of two premieres happening for the film ROMEO 3000 (MAD ANGEL FILMS in association with WWJ PRODUCTIONS)- a film that started with discussions between Matt Peters and myself back in 2012. In addition to being one of the lead roles, this is also the first production where I’m also a co-writer / co-producer. While there are still more steps to be taken before calling this project completed, this is a great landmark to hit and a long time coming. Congrats and thanks to all involved for all the time and hard work you have put into this.
In addition, during the end credits of the film, there will be a new song by CAROLINE BLUE played called “My Fingers” (Robo-Romeo Mix)-which will be different from the mix of it on an upcoming CAROLINE BLUE CD. Produced by Emmett Van Slyke (who I also helped get on board for the R3000 music score). This is a great landmark for myself (as well as also being a long time coming) since the last time new music was released by CAROLINE BLUE was in 2012. More music (plus music videos) will be forthcoming…
Check out the Romeo 3000 page for details on the premieres tonight and tomorrow. For those who go, thank you and I hope that you enjoy it.

Here is the trailer for the feature film ROMEO 3000 (MAD ANGEL FILMS in association with WWJ PRODUCTIONS). If all goes according to plan, the film will also showcase the premiere of a new song by CAROLINE BLUE called “My Fingers.” \m/
-Earlier today I was working with acclaimed music composer / producer Emmett Van Slyke on a new CAROLINE BLUE song for the ROMEO 3000 soundtrack. The song is called “My Fingers” and looks to add some new new layers into the CB song bag. Emmett was a pleasure to work with and I’m looking forward to the final mix-hopefully within the next few months. \m/
CAROLINE BLUE’s song “Prey” can be heard during the end credits of the film “Transformation” (HEWITT FILMS). Directed by Brian Hewitt. “Transformation” premiered at THE PALACE THEATER in Syracuse, NY last Thursday 11/9/2017.
-Last night I found out that UVTV mastermind Rich Stahle had passed on due sepsis (Rich had MS-multiple sclerosis). Rich was the creator of a TV program called Underground Music Television (UMTV) which was later renamed Underground Video Television (UVTV). It first aired around December 2001, around the same time CAROLINE BLUE played its first show. Rich, along with his future wife Jerimi (2008) and her sister Cristl would go to shows and film the bands of CNY at that time and make music videos of them to play on their show. Mind you, this was before You Tube was even around so their work made an incredible impact in terms of promotion and networking with, literally, hundreds of bands. They were even able to expand their coverage to higher level bands like Prong and Type O Negative, doing videos for them when they played in Syracuse. They eventually moved to Chicago and continued working with higher level bands.
-Speaking only for myself and CAROLINE BLUE, I know the band would never had made the in-roads that we did without the help of the videos we filmed with UVTV- which include “Mine, Mine, Mine,” “Slave to the Hourglass,” Live performances of “Hard Life,” “Too Late,” “The Queen of Pleasure,” “Mine, Mine, Mine” (which I’m sure he got sick of me trying to nail down a great live version of this cause we filmed liked 3 or more live versions of this) and even a live performance of CAROLINE BLUE, in KISS makeup and outfits (at least I was) playing “Detroit Rock City.” Not to mention interviews, promos (where “The Spotlight” was born) and much more.
-I hadn’t talked to Rich in awhile-due to my hectic schedule more often than not. It was cool that he sent me some files from his old band, Spoiled Rotten, to check out a few years ago. Last I remember, I’d invited him, Jerimi and Cristl out to Day of the Dead in Indianapolis, IN to say hi and even drop off a copy of NoSS on DVD to them back in July 2017. I’m sure he would’ve gotten a kick out of what I had to do in that film. I don’t recall ever being told that he had MS so yesterday’s post from Jerimi came to me as a complete shock. 😦
-Below is one of the first videos done for UVTV-and arguable the most popular-from back in 2002. I know the stats on the official CB you tube page don’t back that claim, per se, but remember Rich was doing music vids before you tube was around. In addition, there was another unofficial CB you tube page where the “Mine, Mine, Mine” video at least 6 times the amount of videos and comments than what the “enhanced” version does on the official CB you tube page.
R.I.P. Rich-you will be missed. Prayers out to Jerimi, Cristl and extended family.
