Franky Perez has performed with too many rock outfits to list herein, but a short list would include most of the former members of Guns n’ Roses, and their current bands (i.e., Slash, Matt Sorum, Velvet Revolver, and the great Camp Freddy).

I met Franky with event producer Frederic Apcar, at a long-ago Halloween party thrown by Bryan O’Reilly; where he was performing and I was DJing. Nice guy – and very talented. An honest-to-goodness rock n’ roll musician, from good ole Las Vegas N-V.

Messrs. Jordan and Kirkland (aka platinum-selling electronica artists The Crystal Method) are an outfit that I’ve known since the hazy lazy days of Club Utopia; though they are perhaps best known to the television-viewing public as the group responsible for the music on the FOX series Bones (now in its ninth season).

The merging of rock and electronica is nothing new, but this collaboration to me, harkens back, like an aural allusion, to the soundtrack from Miami Vice - the iconic ‘80s television series, not the film - only cranked-up, a lot.

So, if you like electronic music, or rock n’ roll; or if you just like seeing some guys from Las Vegas who’ve made it, after years of hard work, to the big time (while losing none of their scrappiness) – tune-in to NBC’s Last Call With Carson Daly, on Tuesday, February 4th, and watch The Crystal Method performing at LA’s El Rey Theatre, with a full live band, performing “Difference” with Franky Perez. Rock on!

In the meantime, check-out this video of Franky and the Method boys performing “Difference” live in-studio, on KCRW’s famed Morning Becomes Eclectic radio show.
