About me: I don't update this so much, but I do update
www.blindbeatroot.com much more
My name is Steve Iorio and I am a songwriter, play and tour in a band called The Vagrants, I own Blind Beatroot recording studio in Blackburn, work as a lecturer at JMC Academy which is a University in South Melbourne dedicated to Music Business Management, Sound Engineering, Digital TV and Performance. I also privately teach guitar and protools.
I have in the past and thru Blind Beatroot, been helping fellow Australian talent both young and experienced, to arrange tours, record, do publicity, get airplay, arrange events, learn to play, and been a psychologist for musicians all over.
My goal in life is to enjoy what ever I am passionately throwing myself into. To my credit and my detriment, I am an obsessive person that really can't help but to take things on whole-heartedly. Never half way!!
My new obsession is touring Europe. We done it with The Vagrants a few times now, each time 2 or 3 months. I love it and have tried to help others realize their goals of international touring.
If you are interested in touring Europe, drop me a line and let me know if you need a hand. Be specific in your question and I will give relevant info. Ask me how it is done, and I will tell you to be brave, take a one-year vacation, follow me, and I will show you!!!

Hi Blind Beatroot, we wanted all of our Myspace friends to know that Glenn Hughes Tickets are now on sale & selling fast. No major advertising has started yet so this is just a courtesy heads up to fans so they dont miss out... There are only 3 OZ shows in total & it could be an early sell out!
Some fans have also asked if they can meet Glenn, so we are thinking about Platinum Tix for an after show meet & greet. Please send us a msg via Myspace if you think you would be interested.
Have a great day & hope to see you at a gig in April! GH & Band.
If you would like to see The Vagrants perform live in Melbourne you can!!! There will be a live performance on www.gig.tv on March 26th. If the timing is not perfect you can see it at a later time!!! It is in the highest resolution and will showcase the newest technology.
