Platehead is a Record Company and studio located in Canyon Country, CA. The label was started by musician and producer Tom Hankins AKA The Chicago Mad Dog in 1998. The label released "Acid Rain" by Mad Dog & L.A. in 2000 to great critical revue. It was one of the first "Rocktronic" CDs ever made and received airplay on underground radio, college stations and satellite radio and was a fovorite at the Raves and played by a lot of Los Angeles area dance club D.J.'s. It was recoded with heavy electronics, solid disco drums big beat, with vocals and live guitar added over the elctronics. Hankins and L.A. Steve (Kidwell) worked together as producer and engineer on this and then teamed up to release three CD's of pop rock by L.A. Steve and two heavy-hitting CDs from The Towels, a favorite Southern Californiam Pop Rock Band with the emphasis on rock. Hankins sold out his share of the studio to Kidwell, who now owns the label. Chicago Mad Dog and The Powerhouse Blues Band featuring L.A. Steve on guitar and some special guest stars to be announced, are currently working out the arrangements for the C.D., which will be pure blues, focusing on Chicago Blues with a slight excursion into Blues Rock as well. This CD is scheduled for release in 2013. Platehead (talk) 10:48, 21 June 2012 (UTC) The Chicago Mad Dog.
