DVD Concert Was Shot At Hogue Barmichael's In Newport Beach, One of 7k's Numerous Haunts That Include Hotspots Throughout L.A., Orange County, San Francisco and Arizona. When was the last time we heard of an unsigned rock band ballsy enough to record an entire album-or in the case of Orange County modern rockers 7k, a feisty six song EP/Live DVD package-that didn't have one friggin' whiny, self-pitying or angry love song? Who have the guts to unabashedly declare their new collection a "call to action" for several generations of spiritually and emotionally unfulfilled people?
