Michael "Noodles" De La Rosa
Left-Handed Guitarist
I started playing with the guitar in the early stages up-side down left-handed, and looking like Ernie Douglas of My Three Sons. My first influences, my mom who is an awesome classical nylon string guitarist. My father who is the best classy Jazz Cat…and Jazz bassist in the Jazz world...to include being on several Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Don Ellis, Tommy Flanagan albums, watching him on T.V...Simply amazed me to no end. But most of my style came from my little brother Kenny Marquez, who has 2 gold albums with Allied Artists band Renegade, and in my opinion…is one of the best guitarist in the business today. And my cousin Mark Cervantes… who is the percussionist for the Multi-Platinum Artists “Smash Mouth”. From there I used my family background to set my path on the Hwy.of making music. Grew up in the Los Angeles area, and hung around lots of musicians...like Tracy G…of DIO, Audie Desbrow of Great White, and Tony Matusak of Lizzy Borden, and my older brother Ted De La Rosa…one of the valley’s unique power hitting drummers who will be in my heart forever! Started working as a roadie for LA's Hottest!! Group..."Miraj" ...with Tony Caggiano, Bill Watkins, and Kiki V. Tony former guitarist for Michael Anthony of “Van Halen”, when they were called Mammoth, and Michael's band was called Snake. We did allot of Hollywood. Like The Whisky, the Troubadour and Garzarri's and the Roxy. Seen allot early bands make it...and alot that did not. Worked as a sound man at the old Starwood Rock Club in Hollywood...with acts like...Quiet Riot...Dante Fox (Great White).. Rockkandi… Poison… Yankee Rose..Black Flag..Circle Jerks..and GnR. The scene was getting old. Moved to Minnesota in 90'. The music here was so open for so many acts...totally blew my mind. So started playing with the band" Mystery” for a few years...did a few shows...at the local spots...but was not the right combination. I then put an ad in the local City Pages paper...hooked up with a drummer, and a Bassist, and singer...played everywhere...went into an Amazing Audio studio...to record our first CD...self titled in 99' and again in 08' to record "Solar"..The past Year I've been jamming with different musicians seeking the right people to keep the flames burning... am working to explore a different realm, a new band, and to bring peace and hard rock to the planet... well it is official.....the Flame is burning....and FIRE is back!!!
And last but not least... Folks! I also like to mention....that this could not be possible if it was not for me meeting the greatest girl...in this crazy world of ours, and became the Love of my life!
Ms. " Lorie J "
Who has given the inspiration that I needed to make this all happen! And has taught me... Patience (oh yes) and shown the support to make me the musician I am today! ...and I take my hat off for her!
Thank You
Michael De La Rosa a.k.a. "Noodles"

If you're around on Thursday, December 10th, we are playing a show at Mario's Keller Bar. I don't know if you've been there, but it's a very cool place. It's a comfortable space, the room sounds great and they have a stellar beer selection.
Also, we will be playing ALL NIGHT! We'll play some funky, bluesy, and soulful music. We'll project live video onto a 9 ft screen. We'll play some older material that hasn't been heard in awhile, as well as some brand new songs that've never been heard. All bets are off!! We'd love it if you'd come down and listen/party with us!

I just wanted to stop by and wish you a happy Sunday! I hope that the weekend brought you fun adventures, relaxation, and contentment :)
I was going to go camping this weekend, but this is definitely NOT camping weather. So me and some friends went to check out Dueling Pianos. Those guys are amazing - they can play just about any song that's been on the radio between 1950 and 2005.
Anyways, I wanted to let you know about a show we have @ Station 4 on Friday, October 16th. We are debuting a series of one time only performance art pieces. This one is called "AN OBJECT TO CRAVE". Live music and visuals based on a short story about life, love, loss, fantasy, obsession and death.
Another group of mine, The Magnetrons, which plays an exciting and innovative Livetronica set (i.e. STS9, Disco Biscuits, The Histronic) will also be playing. The night will be full of creative, interesting, high-energy music, good drinks and good times.
