Ceasefire on iTunes
10.04.11
One of our favorite local OC bands, Ceasefire has changed its name and making its mark.
Formerly Stereofix, the band combines the elements of classic rock, electronic music and pure showmanship on stage to create an incredible experience for all their loyal fans.
"This Love Will Tear Us Apart," their brand new single hit iTunes today. The song, which examines a relationship that eventually becomes destructive, was recorded in the studio alongside Paul Fox (Björk, 10,000 Maniacs, Phish) and Tim Palmer (Robert Plant, The Cure, U2).
Check out the new single on ReverbNation and purchase the track on iTunes.

Best BBQ in OC!
10.04.11
Craving award-winning barbecue pulled pork and tasty baby back ribs? You’re in luck. The Orange County Register and the Los Angeles Times just crowned Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill as the best barbecue in OC, and in SoCal respectively. Now Irvine Spectrum Center boasts a new Wood Ranch that’s the best-looking location we’ve ever been in. We love the contemporary interior, attention to detail and fantastic wood ceilings. It’s serving dinner this week after 4 p.m. and starting Monday, it will open for lunch and dinner daily, beginning at 11 a.m.
At Wood Ranch, start with its famous slightly buttered garlic rolls, then depending on what you’re hungry for choose from certified angus beef steaks and burgers; prime rib; slow-roasted, mesquite-grilled tri tip roasts; premium American baby back ribs; Carolina pulled pork; and locally-raised fresh chicken.
Fresh seafood options include Idaho trout and Atlantic salmon menu, as well as unique salads, and delicious desserts meant to be shared.
For kids 10 and under, there’s an award-winning children’s menu that named “One of the Best Kids Menus in America” by Restaurant Hospitality magazine. They can choose from BBQ trip tip sandwiches ($6.99), beef ribs ($5.99), mac & cheese ($5.49) and mor. All meals come with a side dish and milk, chocolate milk, fresh lemonade, or soda.
Stop in for happy hour, Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m., and enjoy specials on drinks and appetizers in an interior sporting a great bar with big screen TV's or outside on the patio to enjoy the weather.
Wood Ranch is adjacent to adjacent to Edwards Irvine Spectrum 21 at Irvine Spectrum Center, 57 Fortune Drive, Suite 230 in Irvine 949.337.4855.
Other Orange County locations include Wood Ranch Rancho Santa Margarita at El Paseo Plaza, 22352 El Paseo in Rancho Santa Margarita. 949.888.1100.
