Comedian Pauly Shore and Rue Melo Tonight on Dave Navarro's Spread TV

Dave Navarro's Spread TV
Tonight at 11 PM ET!

This week's show includes Comedian Pauly Shore and musical guest Rue Melo.

Dave and Todd sit down with Comedian Pauly Shore to talk about his latest project. He is starting a new series called "Pauly Shore's America." The five to seven minute episodes will feature Shore casing America in Michael Moore fashion with a unique and unpredictable Pauly Shore twist. Reporting in a way only he can, Shore hits the streets and explores everyone from the oddball to the average Joe or Jane, the outlaws to the toe-the-liners, the glitterati and the gutter-bound.



Next up is musical guest and Los Angeles based ska/dancehall/Latin hybrid Rue Melo. Rue Melo is a very talented young singer/songwriter with a very eclectic background. Definitively someone you'll want to keep your eyes on. Born in Paris, France from a French mother and Uruguayan father, she was fed Latin, jazz, blues, reggae, and classical music in her early years. When she was barely 4 years old, Rue would dance and sing on stage when her dad's band "Los Maniseros" played at Paris's world famous "New Morning". She writes her own lyrics where she alternates English, French and Spanish, and her melodies are a delectable mix.

Dave Navarro's Spread TV - New Episode Tonight @ 11PM ET Featuring Celebrity Rehab's Shelly Sprague and Astrophysicist Beth Biller

This week's show includes Celebrity Rehab's Shelly Sprague and Astrophysicist Beth Biller.
Dave and Todd sit down with Shelly to get a behind the scenes look into Celebrity Rehab's best kept secrets. The intimate conversation covers everything from what celebrities from the show are like during treatment and harsh behind the scenes drama of reality television.





Shelly Sprague has led the kind of life that renders even a hit TV show merely a footnote. Although best-known as Celebrity Rehab's no-nonsense resident technician (and confiscator of cel phones and adult sundries), Shelly is herself a recovering alcoholic and addict whose life in sobriety is defined by her dedication to helping others avoid or escape the same plight. On and offscreen, she wins the respect of her patients by her sincerity and candor. Shelly has been there and done that: from mental health patient to mental health worker, plus everything in between; including exotic dancer, hairdresser, singer, teacher's aide, wife and mother.

In the next segment, Dave welcomes Astrophysicist Beth Biller to the show. Dave and Todd explore black holes, big bang theory, aliens and the many wonders of the cosmos with punk rock astrophysicist Beth Biller. Beth closes out the show with a flurry of fire and belly dancing that is not to be missed.

Welcome fans of the Daily Indie and new fans of All Access. All Access is the show that will be bringing you interviews and behind the scenes footage of your favorite artists. Sure, you can see regular interviews on other sites, but All Access will bring you the bands as themselves and in their own elements.

Host Samantha Maloney, most widely known as one of the sexiest drummers in Rock, has traveled the world drumming for well-known bands such as Hole, Motley Crue, Eagles of Death Metal, and Peaches. Sam knows life on the road and will bring you deep inside the world (and living rooms) of your favorite artists.

For the premier episode we are brought you none other than The Crystal Method and an exclusive performance from Skybombers.

Watch now to see our exclusive interview and round town voyage with The Crystal Method. Sam spent some time in their studio recording a track (if you have not watched - GO NOW!) and tagging a keyboard as a memento to take back to maniaTV's studio. After some studio time Sam, Scott & Ken decided to hit the streets of LA stopping by Ken's Club "The Bank Heist" and checking out some sneakers at a local favorite shoe shop "Sporties LA"

In addition to The Crystal Method adventure (not that you need more than that!!), the All Access team took a trip out to see Steven McSwain of McSwain Guitars. He's basically the "Pimp My Ride" of guitars......he makes them for Slash, Alice In Chains, Korn, Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols, Ben Moody...etc. Some of his guitars are metal with bullets shot into them, some look like cars, some like Ouija boards...
To see it you have to tune in.

Finally, we have an exclusive performance by Skybombers out of Melbourne, Australia. Just out of high school, Skybombers played a sold-out tour in their native Australia in 2007 and earned the label of one of the country's best live bands.
