Bio
As a teenager, Lauren Edman was too shy to practice her singing exercises at home, but she grew up to be a woman with the moxie to perform on Apollo Amateur Night where contestants are routinely booed offstage. Lauren’s seductively spare solo debut It’s Always the Quiet One is a prismatic and intimate self-portrait. It’s a starkly vulnerable album that peeks under the veneer of shyness and examines the inner struggles of someone courageously and coyly grappling with the societal and personal manifestations of being soft-spoken.
Lauren is best known for her singing and songwriting on the track “Afterthoughts” from Sleepthief’s 2006 electronic album The Dawnseeker. At the time, she was a relatively unknown talent with a passion for trip-hop featuring ethereal but strong female vocalists. The Connecticut native moved to New York City around that time with the plan of making an album of her own music, but in the years that followed she struggled to find a balance between producing the music that played in her head and paying the rent. “I wrote a lot of these songs at around 3AM while working night jobs and living in a tiny, dingy bedroom in Queens,” she says. She later joined shoegaze band For Every Story Untold, with whom she currently gigs and records. The dual aesthetic trajectories of these disparate influences—the angelic electronic atmospherics of trip-hop and the earthiness of the shoegaze aesthetic inform It’s Always the Quiet One. The album begins with a minimalistic electronic direction that morphs to an organic and rustic sensibility in its second half.

Bio:
The stories May McDonough and Company tell in their music elude to some of these whimsical tales, ever vaguely and cryptically hinting at various disasters, deaths, bastard siblings, homeless trials, and somewhat bizarre worlds of self-exploration.
May and Company's arrangements are equally as filled with whimsy and charm. Strung out with rich moods and decked with junkyard percussion, their songs instantly warp you in to a specific time and place where no corner of the room goes unpainted. Whether you're thrown back early century evenings at the birdcage theatre, lusting after a burlesque dancer, or you find yourself stumbling down an alley at midnight having just puked out a bottle of Jameson, when you listen to MMC songs you know exactly where you are, exactly how you feel, and you know they wanted it that way.
Now May plays with her ragtag band of junkyard dogs. Her band wales away at led pipes, trashcans, and overturned bicycles, as she sludges through chords and eases through chest-searing vocals that open even the most tightly crossed arms.”

Bio:
Aryn Michelle is a do-it-yourself indie pop songstress who has always refused to wait around for her next big break; she makes it happen. As a teenager Aryn taught herself piano and guitar, and soon after began writing her own music. While attending Southwestern University, Aryn began releasing homemade demos of her original music and began performing around Austin, TX. With a hunger to become a better songwriter and performer, she attended Berklee College of Music in Boston for a few years and also began to learn how to engineer and produce her own demos and crowd-fund her recording projects.
Aryn released her debut album, Lockless Heart, in 2009 as she was finishing her work at Berklee. While at Berklee she was honored with the Scott Benson Award for songwriting, and awarded the grand prize in the 2009 Berklee Substance Abuse Prevention Campaign for her song “Crave.” Since leaving Berklee, Aryn was selected as a regional finalist for the 2009 Mountain Stage NewSong Festival, was invited to be one of eight artists to represent the TUNE campaign, was named the TexasCSA’s 2010 Songwriter of the Year, was the 2010 KLTY’s Chick-fil-a Celebrate Freedom jingle writing contest grand prize winner, and was a top ten finalist in the 2011 Folgers’ National Jingle Writing Contest.

Bio:
A fellow artist once said, "Her music does what every songwriter wishes their music could do: it hollows you out, then fills you back in. It breaks your heart and builds you a new one. It moves you."
A singer/songwriter by way of New Jersey, Boston, and now Brooklyn, NY, Laura DiStasi's music captures both the vibrancy and isolation of city life. Her lyrics hit close to the bone and are heavy with imagery. She plucks moments from the everyday, holding up promise in one hand and heartbreak in the other. The music feels its way though impressionistic landscapes, exploring the complex depth of relationships and change… nostalgic, yet hopeful… that anything worth lamenting is, once was, or could be beautiful.
Best known as half the electro-pop collaboration 'Measure', Laura also performs and records as a solo artist, as well as with other NYC based musicians. She has already shared the stage with artists such as Nada Surf, Fountains of Wayne, Chris Barron, Slow Runner, Tom Brosseau, and Caroline, to name a few. Beyond the live show, Laura's music has been placed on television shows, such as Melrose Place and NBC's Mercy, as well used in a Public Service Announcement narrated by Morgan Freeman for volunteerism, a cause dear to Laura who is preparing for her third marathon to raise money for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.
Laura's releases include her 2005 debut, "Winters Never Quit", Measure's 2008 debut, "Begin Again", and a recent 3 song pre-release for an upcoming Measure album, which is currently available for streaming online.

Bio:
Multi-instrumentalist songwriter and producer Dave Tough fell in love with the angelic voice and guitar work of DeAnna Moore when searching for demo singers on Myspace in 2009. They met and soon realized that they both shared a love of artists such as Fiona Apple, Goldfrapp and Edie Brickell as well as a penchant for older jazz standards. The name Xavier & Ophelia (X&O) came from a pair of children’s dolls.
X&O’s music collectively has been placed in movies, television and commercials. Musically, they tend to combine Bachrach-eqsque melodies with electronic production intermingled with live instruments such as the acoustic guitar and drums. The duo released their first 9 song effort, X&O EP, in 2011. They continue explore new sounds and textures from their studio in Nashville, TN.

Jessie Kilguss is a singer, not an actress -- it's worth getting that straight up front. With lines as cinematic as "Mesmerized by city streets, you crept your way under my sheets."

Truth be told, we now realize that a sincerely sung song and a soulful piece of theater are merely great examples of great art. Jessie's known this all along, and what with Scarlett and Zooey now making records, this fact is all the more understood.

Info
Defining creative musicians by genre is often a difficult task, but in the case of Rahe, it’s virtually impossible. And describing her as a singer/songwriter simply doesn’t do justice to an artist whose songs weave beautifully melodic lines with complex, compelling chord changes, soulfully powerful lyrics and a diaspora of world rhythms into a musical vision that is entirely her own. With a life story as colorful and diverse as her music, Rahe (pronounced “ray”) has been on a direct path toward her stunningly mature musical vision for nearly all of her 23 years. It is now in full bloom, as evidenced by her group – Rahe & illumiNation – a stunning ensemble featuring Rahe on vocals and nylon string acoustic guitar, a saxophone quartet (alto, tenor and two baritones), and drums.

Kaile Goh may look familiar to you ... as a model and actress she has been in countless commercials and major campaigns, including Disney, Target, JC Penney, Wal-Mart, Barbie, Bratz, Kodak, and many more.
This year, at 14, she adds “professional musician” to her resume with the release of her debut album, “One Too Many Times.”
Born to a Chinese father and an American mother, Kaile lived in Singapore for the first several years of her life. When her family moved to Los Angeles she began modeling and acting, signing with Ford Modeling Agency and Abrams Artists. Kaile’s passion, however, has always been for music.
She began singing, playing guitar and writing songs at the age of nine. Using her own money earned from modeling to buy her Gibson Hummingbird guitar, she had her first song played on UCLA Radio at the age of 10. Her parents encouraged her, giving her lessons and taking her to open mic nights.
With the guidance of producers Krish Sharma (Perry Ferrell, Rolling Stones) and Bobby Brooks (P.O.D.), Kaile’s debut cd includes 11 of the more than 40 songs she has written, ranging in style from power pop to hard rock.
To support the release of “One Too Many Times” she has a string of west coast performances lined up with her band.

Bio
Raised in households where a myriad of music was played and appreciated, from Pink Floyd to The Allmans and Chuck Berry to Joao Gilberto, it comes as no surprise these artists create such diverse tracks. All having been introduced to pianos and drums in the grade school years, they acquired their addictions early on to the creative process and performing craft. Through a series of mutual crossroads in the Catskills and New York while supporting others, Government Mule and The Violent Femmes, these musicians met and formed their own project The Devyl Nellys.
Gigs in music towns, parties and colleges across the US led to genre development by songwriter Nelly Levon and guitarist James Mastro (The Bongos). Their distinct 60 bohemian rock style took shape after experimental jams and studio sessions at Retrophonics with Jim DeVito (JJ Grey & Mofro) and Bill Chapin (Justin Timberlake). Conflicting frustrations with mainstream art and life led to sharp lyrics that are frequently empathisized, and rarely sang. Like many contemporaries, they denied the urge to conform and pursued the independent route to showcase their arrangements. Recently, they've been heard on the festival scene, live venues, songwriter circles and across radio, television & film.

Protobaby are a 4-piece band based in Limerick with members Colm McGuinness, Tony Monahan, Bryan Ronan and Aidan Graham. Formed in 2008 when guitar player Tony and bass player Aidan first met Dublin born singer Colm for the first time through an ad placed in a national newspaper. Meeting in a local bar, sat next to an open fire Colm took out his guitar and played some of his songs. The lads loved his deep baritone and captivating lyrics. A rehearsal was arranged and drummer Bryan was soon onboard. Colm’s songs, mixed with riffs and guitar ideas from Tony along with the musical ideas and arrangements from the entire band have come to form the Protobaby sound.
The band spent 10 months writing, recording, jamming and rehearsing. Having released their debut E.P. 'Freedom' to some great reviews in the music press the band spent a few months of 2010 gigging and promoting 'Freedom'. Following a successful nationwide tour the band returned to the studio to work on a new single ‘State Of Affairs which was later mixed at 'The Production Suite' in Dublin and will be released along with a video in late February. At the beginning of 2011 Hot Press magazine included Protobaby in their ‘Hot for 2011’ feature. A nationwide tour began in late February taking in Limerick, Kerry, Dublin, Dundalk, Cork and Galway.
On 20th May Protobaby played at Juwenalia 2011 in Bialystok, Poland which was headlined by Guano Apes and had 20000+ rock fans attending.

Brown’s natural talent was quickly recognized by her peers and established veterans alike. She was the 2010 recipient of the prestigious ASCAP Foundation Robert Allen Award for songwriting. She also awarded a very coveted audition slot at the National Association for Campus Activities national convention.

I grew up in Russia, started singing before my first birthday and spent most of my childhood dreaming about becoming a big star. At ten, after failing at ballet, swimming, gymnastics and volleyball, I finally demanded to be put in a music school, where I chose classical guitar as my instrument and somehow ended up becoming a lead singer and acoustic guitarist of a country and bluegrass band (we're still in Russia at this point, you're following?) that later moved to Nashville, TN and became known as Bering Strait. Twenty years, one Jazz College, five major record deals, two country albums, one movie (The Ballad Of Bering Strait that you can now watch in Hulu) and one GRAMMY NOMINATION later, I'm on my own, there's a new SOLO ALBUM out, and I'm about to go back to the studio to record two more. So listen to the songs, check out my website with more samples of the music and other stuff to see, and do click on the banner above and please enjoy yourself!

The world of Volary’s music is a world full of light and darkness. It examines the hope, despair, and countless other feelings that struggle through us as part of the human condition. “As a child I would go into my room, turn my stereo on loud, and let all of my frustration, disappointment, and hurt explode from me by singing. Nobody else ever seemed to want to say quite the things that I did though,” she muses. “I suppose that was my songwriter’s voice telling me that I had to write songs for those like myself who were still disenfranchised.”
It was not until the Australian-born singer moved to San Francisco in 2001 though, that she discovered a city bursting with the artistic intimacy and honesty of singer/songwriters. Ultimately, it was the inspiration for her to say “OK, nobody’s ever going to write the songs that I hear until I learn to play the guitar and write them myself.” The result was “Out of Shadows,” an album which not only earned a 5 star review from Muzikreviews.com, but was also named their “Pick of the Week” (Dec 4, 2010).
Volary muses about her creation: “You might compare it to a sculpture of delicate flowers made out of barbed wire.” The album takes flight through a land of mixed human emotions. Most of the songs delve into the darker sides of the human psyche, but as in a chiaroscuro, there is always light again. “I wrote, co-produced, sang, and played acoustic and electric guitar on the album, but this album is not just about me. I was honoured to work with some amazing musicians and together we made this album what it is.”
The dichotomy, yet juxtaposition of elements is an apt parallel to the name Volary, and to the basis of the album. Volary is an obscure English term, defined as a flight or flock of birds, or the cage you keep them in. What better metaphor for freedom, escape and joy, than a bird taking flight? What better metaphor for having your spirit broken than being put in a cage? And what greater dichotomy than a singer/songwriter who has a Ph. D. in Biochemistry but is so willing to be emotionally vulnerable musically? Watch as this complex talent from California steps out of the shadows.

Not many can claim they are a sixth generation Californian, let alone Angeleno. Manda Mosher can. Still what does that mean? It’s not as easily defined as saying you are a sixth generation New Yorker, or Bostonian for that matter. Manda’s first ancestor to settle in the region, came to Downtown, Los Angeles in the 1800’s from Delhi, New York after the Civil War, additional family followed establishing a chicken farm in the Valley in 1911.
Manda Mosher grew up in the town of La Crescenta, just outside of Los Angeles. A sleepy and secluded community located at the foot of the mountains just North of Pasadena. Close enough to the city of angels that Manda was well versed in the Hollywood music scene, but just far enough away that she could peek over the fence and gaze upon it from a safe distance.
The title track of Manda’s new EP “City of Clowns” was written about her relationship with Los Angeles which she describes as a love/hate sort of affair, as depicted in the song. Although the lyrics can relate to any city to some degree, Manda admits she has often thought of leaving Los Angeles, but it is her family that has continued to keep her here. “I’ve always felt sadness for this town. I’ve watched all these people come and go, taking what they can, getting famous, getting rich, with little regard for the community and the people that call it home. On the other hand the opportunities are endless here.”

HellCatRecords
INfo
From virtual unknowns to stars of the Warped Tour and stadiums across Europe, HorrorPops have thrived on the strength of great songwriting, remarkable intuition, a jaw-dropping live experience and a willingness to explore an array of styles. Be it new wave, punk, surf, ska, rockabilly, metal or goth, the trio's self-produced, film-centric third Hellcat album, Kiss Kiss Kill Kill, embraces all of the aforementioned rock & roll subgenres with admirable aplomb.
Crafting a thrill ride of an album is no easy feat, but Patricia Day (lead vocals/upright bass), Nekroman (lead guitar/vocals) and Niedermeier (drums/vocals) have done so by adhering to instinct. By staying true to their original and diverse musical vision, HorrorPops have flourished, building a tremendously loyal and ever-growing following in the process.
From the charged anthem, "Missfit" - replete with an amusing nod to Madness' "Our House" that takes the song to unexpected heights - to the adventurously dark title track, Kiss Kiss Kill Kill is both captivating and inspiring. The album's namesake, which elicits memories of The Cure, Siouxsie & the Banshees and - thanks to its deep, sinister harmonies - Sisters of Mercy, is at once an ingenious new tune and an ardent tribute to past icons.

Bio:
Piney Gir taunts traditional country music with a big city edge… Jesus Wept is Piney's 4th album out on Damaged Goods and is a nod to Piney's strict religious upbringing and her urge to walk the line between naughty and nice. There comes a time when everyone should question their faith and Piney (with the help of her trusty Roadshow) has channelled that into a record. A record that's a little bit country, a little bit rock 'n' roll and a whole lot of attitude.
Jesus Wept is more than a froth of petticoats in a fresh summer field, it's Ingmar Bergman's 'Seventh Seal' twisted through the eyes of a local drunk at the truck stop honky tonk. It's fun but it's dark and you don't know if you should like it so much but you do, so have another whiskey.
Previously Piney has been compared to her heroes like Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette; she's been hailed an 'indie Dolly Parton." But this album is more Emmy Lou Harris in her Graham Parsons days, it's little girl lost… it's the devil in disguise and the devil looks good. This album sees Piney grow up and face hard facts; hard facts that can make many a country song that much better. "'A tear in my beer' ain't the half of it," says Piney.

Passion, drive, and great writing – these adjectives define the music and life of Susan Cattaneo. Growing up on a farm in New Jersey but spending her summers on an Arizona ranch, Susan moved easily between the energy and electricity of the East Coast and the wide open spaces and campfire stories of the West. Susan found her place in the musical world at an early age, singing six-part harmony with her family around the dinner table. After stints in bands in college, she spent a year in Italy, where she studied Italian and performed a mix of standards and traditional Roman songs in various piano bars in Rome. Upon her return to the States, she began a dual career in New York City. By day, Susan was a television writer/producer, earning an Emmy nomination and NY State Broadcasters Award. By night, she was the co-lead singer in the Blackfish Band, a funk-folk outfit that also launched the career of Mike Errico, where she became a regular fixture at clubs like The Bitter End and Kenny’s Castaways. Applying her writing talents to the craft of songwriting was a natural next step, and following her musical dream, Susan headed to Boston to attend Berklee College of Music on a vocal scholarship.

Bio
Hungry Lucy began by chance in 1998 when War-N Harrison (Fishtank No.9) was asked to contribute to a Depeche Mode tribute album. War-N asked vocalist/lyricist Christa Belle to record vocals for the song "Blue Dress". The couple found they worked together so well that Hungry Lucy was born.
Hungry Lucy chillin' outAfter spending a year writing and recording, the Autumn of 2000 saw the release of Hungry Lucy"s debut CD, "Apparitions". The album garnered much attention across the US and Europe for it"s combination of pop song structures, trip hop grooves and Christa"s haunting vocals & other-worldly lyrics. This attention of this debut CD lead to a licensing deal with Belgian label Alfa Matrix and subsequent European relase of Apparitions:Revisited in Fall of 2001.
After spending Spring and early summer of 2002 performing live, Hungry Lucy completed their next full length album entitled "Glo". Glo captures all the elements that Hungry Lucy are known for while continuing to explore other genres such as jazz, blues and europop. Once again, the album received critical acclaim and glowing reviews worldwide and expanded Hungry Lucy"s reach to a much wider audience.
In the Summer of 2003, Hungry Lucy embarked on a tour with Pittsburgh"s ThouShaltNot across the Western and Midwest regions of the United States. This gave people of chance to hear, as well as see, what Hungry Lucy is all about. True to form, Hungry Lucy delivered stunning performances along with synchronized video accompanyment. Several one-off shows in late 2003 / early 2004 (including performances with Cruxshadows & Wolfsheim) followed.
In Spring of 2004, it was time to head back into the studio and capture the new material Hungry Lucy had compiled over the preceding months. The result, Hungry Lucy"s 3rd full-length CD, "To Kill a King" was released in Nov. 2004 to critical acclaim from both fans and the media alike, debuting at #9 on the French Alternative Charts in January, 2005. In addition to college and club DJ exposure, "To Kill a King" has been featured on Public Radio programs such as PRI"s "Echoes" and the X-Star Network"s "Audiosyncracies". The album brilliantly displays Hungry Lucy"s passion for musical contrast and clever songwriting for which this duo is known.
Hungry Lucy returned from successful 6 week US tour and are currently writing for the next release.

Info
Following the March release of debut album The Noyelle Beat, Sheffield trio Standard Fare are set to release the lauded album track Philadelphia as the next single. A tale of a Transatlantic love affair stymied by distance and budget, Philadelphia is a marvel of kitchen sink lyric-writing that, like the best of indie-pop, refuses to let wider issues get in the way of a bit of hormone-fuelled self indulgence. Here’s our favourite lyric: “Global warming is getting me down/It’s making the sea between us wider and deeper.” On the B-side is a brand new track, the really rather ace Don’t Tell. Both are the perfect crash-course in the band’s tune-fuelled, scrappy and utterly loveable sound.

Info
Singer/Songwriter Annie Fitzgerald combines tender lyrics akin to Shawn Colvin, a timeless sound like that of Ray Lamontagne, a soulfulness kindred to Patty Griffin, and a quiet intensity similar to Damien Rice, then stirs the pot into a sound that’s all her own.
Fitzgerald grew up in Crookston, MN where, at age two, she began to show her artistic talents as a dancer. She began piano lessons at age six. Her talent allowed her the opportunity to travel to New York City, Chicago, Hawaii and Atlanta. By the age of 14, she had become an award-winning choreographer.
She focused on her music in college and received a B.M. in Vocal Performance from the University of Minnesota, and spent a summer training at the Mountview Theatre School in London. After graduation, she worked in and around as an actress in the Minneapolis area as a member of the working theater community and the Actors Equity Association. In 2005, she moved to NYC to focus on performing her original music.

Info
Sitting across from Leslie DiNicola, you get the feeling that you’re sipping coffee with Sandra Bullock or Jennifer Aniston- the sexy “girl next door.” But when she opens her mouth on stage, she unleashes the soulful blues diva that will rock your world. Not many artists today can dazzle 38,000 people at Citi Field and then, moments later, take the stage at an intimate club like Googie’s Lounge and captivate the audience with merely a whisper into the microphone. But Leslie DiNicola can. And has.
DiNicola moved around a lot when she was growing up, and has that unique perspective of someone who’s been “the new kid at school” a few too many times. After graduating from Syracuse University, Leslie found herself pulled in opposite directions by her love of music and her love of sailing. She reflects, “By the time I was 22 and moved to Manhattan, I had already lived in 8 different places. No matter how much you like a place, the way I liked NY, there’s a hesitancy to get too comfortable. I think that’s what kept me running off to sea so often, sailing to different countries every chance I got.”

Info
“Most musicians on the ascendancy would be shouting loudly about an Emmy nomination for one of their songs, but LA's Rie Sinclair almost shrugs hers off as a mark of recognition for work separate from her chosen field of singing/songwriting. Confused? You won't be. You see, by day she's in demand as a writer and performer of beautiful songs for Hollywood studios, providing atmosphere and emotion to back up the visuals. But by night she dons another cape, crafting her own elation and despair into perfected four-minute vignettes; she records and delivers them live with equal finesse and commitment. And despite already having two studio albums in the bag, her third, A Moment You Never Dreamed, is the one she considers her debut." –Train And Penny, UK
After several releases, Emmy-Nominated Rie Sinclair's official "Debut" Album, A Moment You Never Dreamed, is here. Her previous recorded projects include a collaboration with ex-Eels, Abandoned Pools artist, Tommy Walter called Oliver the Penguin. The "Sparkling Violeteer's" new dark, raw, & sexy LP was co-produced by the artist with Eli Thomson (Richard Swift), & brought to life with a collective of amazing musicians. Mastered by three-time Grammy winner Gavin Lurssen in Los Angeles, A Moment captures Rie's haunting but playful vibe in a 40 something-minute set that could easily score a film.

New CD - Journal de Bad
Info
Acclaimed by the public and critics alike, Bárbara Eugênia is part of a new generation of female voices that are redefining the Brazilian musical scene. Born in Rio de Janeiro but calling São Paulo home since 2005, this young artist with a unique voice and highly nuanced stage persona started her career with an invitation from musical producer Apollo 9 to record two tracks for the movie O Cheiro do Ralo, directed by Heitor Dhália. Inspired by French chanson, Bárbara decided to shift the focus back onto songs made popular by singers like Anna Karina and Brigitte Bardot, in a tribute to Serge Gainsbourg, idealized by Edgard Scandurra. In her participation in shows by the group 3NAMASSA, comprised of Pupillo and Dengue from Nação Zumbi and Rica Amabis from Instituto, Bárbara added a female touch that made for a magical public performance. As she starts her solo career, Bárbara travels from Brazil to French music, and has been well-received by both the public and the media; her shows in various cities around Brazil signal her coming of age as an artist. In 2009, she decided to record her first album, bringing together a group of friends all seeking to tap her artistic character in surprising ways. She is accompanied by her talented band: Júnior Boca (guitar and musical direction), Dustan Gallas (bass, keyboards, mixing and production) and Felipe Maia (drums).
We began recording in january/2009 and after a brief pause we managed to finish it up in the begining of 2010. The album is called Journal de BAD. Journal for diary in french and BAD is my nickname for the closest friend.

Girls singing retro-tinged tunes with synchronised dance moves? A Machiavellian pop experiment inspired by KLF’s The Manual cooked up in a Brighton boozer by the mysterious Svengali Monster Bobby? Well yes, but there’s been an evolution - a change in the genetics. The Pipettes are back, and now they’re a big shiny pop group. Or at least, that’s what they’d like you to believe.
In their first incarnation, donning polka dot dresses and referencing the girl groups of the late fifties in the heyday of skinny tie indie music, The Pipettes had remarkable success. A top ten album in Japan where the single 'Pull Shapes' was only kept off the number one spot by J-Lo, top ten radio positions all across Europe, two Top Forty hits in the UK and a Top Ten in the US billboard indies. They played on the main stages at Reading and Glastonbury, blazed a British trail across SXSW, conquered the world and sold a heap of records.

Jackson, Miss. native, Anne Davis' new self-produced album, Letters, Prayers, and Journal Entries, a compilation of thought-provoking upbeat tempos and ballads from the "folk-alternative" artist, has been turning ears as it has traveled throughout the U.S. and beyond by receiving quite favorable college radio airplay. Davis wrote all fifteen tracks, and the "organic feel" of the melodies is attributed to the defining instruments you'll find on the album.
"What I really wanted to go for was to put together a project using only real instruments....and that meant no compromise with using any type of fabricated sounds, including drum machines." And, that's exactly what you're going to hear--such instruments as the cello, violin, upright acoustic bass, mandolin, accordion, penny whistle and the uilleann pipe on the CD. "I wanted everything to be real....for me, as an artist, it only made sense for the production of the project to be as soul-baring as the lyrics."

Singer/songwriter Holly Long has two hands, and she’s using them. She’s no princess, and she’s no queen. She’s just a straight up modern day musical artisan with a genuine love for the work and an impressive track record. Having crafted 4 albums over the past decade in her pop/funk/soul hybrid style with a string of top-shelf producers, Long communicates her passion and worldview with an evocative sound in league with Annie Lenox, Sarah McLachlan, and Carly Simon. It’s not just about the music, though. Much like for her chanteuse heroines, music is about connection and community. It’s where she finds herself, and how she makes her contribution to the world.

Rökkurró’s melancholic serenades are evocative of the cold and desolate landscapes of their distant homeland. Mesmerising tones and swooping strings projected against a bleak and solitary Nordic backdrop. And yet, unique warmth pervades Rökkurró’s music owed to the fragile and soothing voice of Hildur Kristín Stefánsdóttir.
Their debut Það Kólnar Í Kvöld.. (It’s Getting Colder Tonight) was released in 2007 in Iceland, Europe and Japan to great critical acclaim, followed by tour dates with iconic figures of the Icelandic music scene múm and celebrated neo-classical composer Ólafur Arnalds.
Three years on Rökkurró are releasing their sophomore album Í Annan Heim (In Another World) produced by Alex Somers, partner and music collaborator of Jónsi Þór Birgisson (Sigur Rós). Í Annan Heim is a collection of nine graceful compositions that showcase a darker, more expansive and mature sound, full of meticulously crafted melodies, complex arrangements and smooth sonic textures.
Rökkurró was selected by Clash Magazine to play at the Nordic Music Export clubnight Ja Ja Ja in London in October 2010.

AOEDE'S STORY: Once upon a time, way back in Greek mythology, there was a muse named Aoede (A-E-D). She was the first "muse of song" way before the 9 celebrated muses we know and love. And I, Lisa Sniderman, singer-songwriter for Aoede, chose this name both to inspire you and to remember to continually be inspired...I draw inspiration from my own life experiences and many muses and aspire to transfer this inspiration to you. When you listen to my songs, expect compelling stories of love, loss, life, and longing-intended to take you, shake you and wake you. It's About YOU and your connection to me-in ways that make you feel and experience those parts of yourself you may have forgotten about. Maybe after listening, you are inspired to live life a little more fully or feel something.
I formed an indie pop rock band in 2005 comprised of San Francisco trio Lisa Sniderman (that's me), David Sands (bass), and John Walden (drums). Now in 2010, I'm reinventing myself as an artiste as evidenced by the direction of my new singles and the word artiste...

Info
Wensday is an exotic young woman of contrasts: she's been a body piercing artist, a jazz singer and a rocker – and Associate Director of All Children's Theatre in her hometown of Providence, Rhode Island. A graduate of NYU and a student at Oxford University, Wensday is covered in eloquent artistic tattoos on more than 50% of her body.
Multiple hit songwriter and legendary guitarist DICK WAGNER (Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, Kiss, Aerosmith, Air Supply) produced TORCH ROCK™ and wrote or co-wrote all 13 tracks of the TORCH ROCK™ album. Wagner plays lead guitar throughout the CD; and he has assembled a brilliant group of musicians, including Fred Mandel (Elton John, Queen, Alice Cooper), Bobby Flores (Grammy winning arranger and Country Instrumentalist of the Year), Nils Lofgren (Bruce Springsteen), to record Wensday's musical debut.
"After a long time trying to figure out what style I do best, I truly get to do it all on Torch Rock," says Wensday. "I think the album conveys that I'm a singer, first and foremost... Connecting emotionally with people is the most important thing to me."

Info
A songwriter since age eleven, having given up the violin for the more "songwriter friendly" acoustic guitar, she has already issued four independent Cds: The Story So Far, Piece By Piece, Modern Loneliness and The Rose In The Boxcar. This prolific singer-songwriter has just released her fifth Cd of original material titled Petals Of The Red Magnolia. Her eclectic style encompasses such genres as pop-rock, edgy folk-rock, adult contemporary and even a little country. Her genuine and sincere songs evoke a broad array of emotional responses from her listeners.
Carol has been performing as a singer-songwriter throughout Southern California since the early 1990s, helping to create the coffee house circuit in So Cal. She continues to play weekly in coffee houses, small clubs, book and music stores, and college venues. Her performances feature acoustic guitar versions of her original songs as well as her warm rapport with audiences. Her extensive repertoire (ranging from the humorous to the not-so-humorous) and wide variety of subject matters (from surfer chicks to Momma’s station wagon to Teflon-coated hearts and the spaces between) ensure that no two performances are ever alike!.

Info
It had to happen eventually. For a generation of musicians that has now grown up with the sounds of world music, a truly global pop music was just a matter of time. And for the trio Pacifika, "eventually" means now. The trio's debut album, 2008's Asuncion, introduced their artful blend of indie rock, bossa nova, Afropop, and dub production. With the new Supermagique, Pacifika have refined that sound – a multilingual, listener-friendly music that marries languid Latin rhythms to a deep dance groove, and offers a high-gloss sheen with some surprisingly sharp edges.
Pacifika's global fusion works precisely because it is not a fusion. There is no sense of trying to blend one thing with another; this is the work of three musicians, coming from Peruvian, North American, and Barbadian families, for whom rock, Latin, Caribbean, hip hop, and jazz are all part of a single international musical language – a kind of musical Esperanto. Singer Silvana Kane is from Peru; guitarist Adam Popowitz is from Canada; bassist Toby Peter grew up in Barbados. Using the Pacific city of Vancouver as a base, they have set out to create music that reflects their shared interests in Western pop and the traditions of South America, West Africa, and the Far East. The rest of Canada has been paying attention: last year Pacifika was named one of the "Bands of the Year" by the CBC, and they've been regulars on national television in their adopted homeland. Over in the States, Asuncion was singled out by critics as a "best of the year" on amazon.com, i-tunes, NPR and many other prestigious outlets and tracks from the record were licensed for use in a variety of films and television programs like HBO's red hot, True Blood. With Supermagique, they are poised for international success.

Info
Hailed by New Zealand's National Radio as the pioneer of a new sound, Jordans music has been variously described as "industrial folk", "folk noir" and "Antipodean Steampunk" yet defies any cut and dried description. Imagine a 19th Century Nine Inch Nails banging on old iron and steam powered machines, combined with the Dead Can Dance's electronic folk soundscapes and Sinead Oconnor's vocals in the background.
Jordans 5th CD was realeased in April 2009. "How the Dead Live" is a tale inspired by the story of one of New Zealands first pioneer women, Susannah Hawes. The CD follows a (fictive) dialoge between Susannah and History herself. History has been sent to track Susannahs 'ordinary' life and is irritated with the lack of battles and adventure in the lonely west coast town of Karamea. Susannah suggests, however, that maybe it is those who are overlooked by History who are really 'the Brave'.
Jordan is a 3 time nominee at the New Zealand Music Awards, and has carved a neiche for her unique sense of musicality. Her music is dark yet beautiful, and has appealed to reviewers both locally and internationally

Track 1 - Cities
MainSite MySpace
Info
The Rebirth Station consists of singer/songwriter Magdalena Konefal and drummer/producer Povel Ohlsson (among other artists, drummer for Robyn). The duo was behind Magdalenas debut EP that caused quite a stir in Swedish media last year with it´s innovative soulful pop.
The music was on high rotation on national radio P3, video “Hit of the week” at music video channel ZTV, and the newspapers wrote about “dreamlike soul with a hint of Curtis Mayfield and Prince”. Magdalena was immediately booked to Stockholm Jazz festival and other prestigious venues.
The new material is introduced under the name “The RebirthStation”, a name present right from the start in the studio and while playing live, now a fitting name for the duo since Povel taken on a more active roll in the creative process.
When he´s not making music with The Rebirth Station he tours with Robyn, makes Techno/House music and remixes for other artists under the name PomP. Magdalena Konefal writes the vast majority of the music and lyrics for The Rebirth Station. Coming from the jazz-scene she was recognised as a very promising jazz-singer through the ten years.

Get the new Album -- Fill up the Room -- from KRecs
Info
The band has spent the better part of the past six years constantly recording and touring, amassing a loyal fan-base through a very personal approach to performing. Apart from their official albums, Saturday Looks Good To Me has released shopping carts full of limited releases with microscopic indie labels, and delighted fans with regular tour-only CD-Rs and LPs. The development towards the very personal and near-religious sounds on Fill Up The Room can be tracked through these obscure releases, and the record's delivery into the world serves as both a bold statement from a band stepping away from what it was before into something more deliberate and a heartfelt thanks to the die-hard fans for sticking by through the strange changes. And as always, through whatever changes and in whatever language available, Saturday Looks Good To Me exists as a testament to the magic and limitless love that is the pop song, and the endlessness therein.

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings have come a long way since their humble beginnings nearly a decade ago. Steeped within the gilded and gritty sounds of gospel, soul and funk, this nine-piece Brooklyn collective has continued to electrify fans, disc jockeys, critics, record collectors, and bloggers the world-over with their authentic, heart-felt sound. The authenticity clearly demonstrated on the band’s three critically-acclaimed albums – Dap Dippin’ (2002), Naturally (2005) and 100 Days, 100 Nights (2007) – captured and released by the independent Daptone Records. Their albums recall an analog era led by iconic studios like those at Motown and Stax Records, and have thrust the fifty-three-year-old Augusta, GA native and crew into the multimedia limelight.

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are like a modern-day version of Tina Turner stroking the microphone in a spangled mini-dress while fronting the Rolling Stones circa Sticky Fingers. The proof is there for all to hear on the band’s third album for Hollywood Records, hitting this spring, and marks an artistic breakthrough for a vital young band caught in the act of fulfilling its immense promise. Little wonder that Grace and her cohorts have chosen to title it, directly and emphatically, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals.
“This record is the first time it’s really been us — the first time we’ve all found each other and ourselves,” says Potter with obvious excitement. “Everybody was totally comfortable, everything we had was sitting right in front of us, and it just poured out of us. The whole thing was fluid and effortless. In my mind, an album shouldn’t be self-titled unless it feels that way.”

Info
As the great thespian Patrick Swayze once said, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner." The same is true of Sarah Borges. On the basis of her critically-lauded early work, particularly Diamonds in the Dark (2007), some pundits decided they know exactly where the Boston-area rocker and her cohorts, the Broken Singles, belong in the musical spectrum. They were mistaken. Her new record, The Stars Are Out, is about to stun them with a more vibrant, far-reaching display of what Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles are all about. And yes, there will be dancing.
"We always want people to dance," enthuses Borges. "That's the best way to get a show going." After months of touring in support of Diamonds, she knew the character of her third album needed to be more upbeat than its contemplative predecessors. "I was trying to think of songs that would fit really well into our live show." The results include the slinky, '60s stroll of "Me and Your Ghost" ("That's about going out and dancing, all the things you used to do with your loved one"); the flirtatious, guitar-driven kickoff, "Do It For Free"; and "It Comes To Me Naturally," a hip-shaking tale of a girl-about-town, originally recorded by bar band supreme NRBQ.
Diamonds and Borges' 2005 debut, Silver City, often found her work filed under the Americana banner. But the time had come for Borges to explore different terrain, both as a writer and performer. The Stars Are Out is a soundtrack for Saturday nights, not Sunday mornings. "When I say I explored country music as much as possible, that doesn't mean I became perfect at it," she quickly qualifies. Borges just felt ready to take a break, until she had something new to say in that realm. And rock has always been her first love. "This is a style of music I've always listened to, and been really excited about."

Info
23-year-old triple threat DaniElle DeLaite has been on the stage in some capacity since the tender age of three-years-old. She has travailed through the trials and tribulations of failed recording contracts and unscrupulous agencies yet she has never given up on her dream of being a performer. “I have always been encouraged to pursue a career in music and there has always been the expectation that I would succeed even through the broken deals and failed promises,” says DeLaite. “This amazing encouragement and belief has been a wonderful support for me.” DeLaite’s dream became a reality when she won the Musicoz Australia wide competition for unsigned artists i98FM Listener's Choice Award at the age of 16. As a result she was invited to perform at the Entertainment Centre for the awards presentation that was broadcast on national television. After moving from her native township, Kiama to Sydney later that year, DeLaite bounced back from a dissolved recording contract and started a successful career as a fit model. While in Sydney she worked for nine major Australian designers as a house model and she also does catwalk and presenter work. Using the money she earned as a model, the singer/songwriter was able to take her career in her own hands by starting her company Lizard Ed Pty. Ltd. She funded recording sessions for her upcoming album and a video clip the single “Nothing to Wear.” The idea behind the single and video for “Nothing to Wear,” which are available on iTunes came about one night when the 23-year-old was getting ready to go out with a few friends. “It was nearly time for me to be picked up and I was sitting on my bed surrounded by lots of dresses, jeans, tops, jackets shoes and jewelry, thinking to myself, ‘what am I going to do? I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!’ I looked around the room and surveyed the giant mess on my bed, the floor, the chair and dresser and realized how absurd my statement was and how it was a moment many others had experienced as well

Track 3 - Revel Without a Cause
MySpace FaceBook Twitter
Info
Alexis was destined to be influenced by cultures from all over the world. She was born to a Cuban mom and a Colombian dad. As a child, she lived in Buenos Aires and Madridand Spanish was her first language. She started playing piano at an early age and says, “I grew up dancing ballet and flamenco, writing and making films. My parents really encouraged my individuality and creativity. But I didn’t sing a note until I was 20 years old. Can you imagine? Not a peep until I was 20.”
The family moved to New York when Alexis was 11. Her mother worked in the music industry, so she spent her adolescent years doing what a lot of teens would dream of; listening to music demos and going to concerts. Alexis soon fell in love with US Cinema. She says, “I learned to speak English by watching films. I became fascinated by how language was manipulated and began to notice how exquisitely music could be used to enhance the story. I started to think of music as the second language of the film. I knew from an early age that I wanted to do something with music and film.”
At the age of 18, Alexis packed her bags for Poughkeepsie, New York. She enjoyed her year at Vassar College, but Spain was calling to her. In Spain, she managed the rock band, Pop Sonic and learned how difficult it can be to make your mark in music. She was torn by the desire to become a musician herself and the knowledge of what a difficult road it can be. Unsure of what to do next, Alexis took a temporary job at the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil. The musicians she met inspired her so much, that she decided music was what she wanted to do with her life. She knew it was important to have a college degree too, so she enrolled at the prestigious London School of Economics—Mick Jagger’s alma mater--and emerged three years later with a degree in philosophy. During her stay in London, Alexis realized she was spending more time hitting the clubs, than hitting the books. Music was becoming more of a necessity in her life. She jumped at the chance to work with legendary producer Richard Nile, who has worked with Paul McCartney, Tina Turner and Ray Charles, among others. Nile was impressed with Foxe’s lyrics. Together, they produced the album eponoymouseponymous.

At age 12 she finally started taking voice lessons to hone in on the music magic you hear today. She performed in school choirs and synagogue whenever she could all through college, where she studied voice. While Rachel has been deeply involved in many aspects of the music industry such as promotions, on-air talent on a Long Island radio station, and good old fashioned fandom, performing music is where she felt she belonged. Rachel lives in Delaware with her husband and her two adorable pets. In addition to the three amazing artists listed above, Rachel counts Blues Traveler, Kate Miller-Heidke, Ben Folds, Rufus Wainwright, Elvis Costello, and OK Go as her greatest musical influences. Her debut EP, "Happy Happy" is due out in August.

Struggle is a natural part of the creative process for many artists. For Shikhee, the one-woman army behind industrial act Android Lust, struggle became downright essential to the production of the fourth Android Lust album, The Human Animal. Not by choice, of course: Nearly a decade after debuting as the first one-woman industrial act, the Bangladeshi-born New Yorker found herself burnt out from balancing a music career with what some might call “real life.”
The process of making 2006’s Devour, Rise and Take Flight ws “a very trying period,” says Shikhee. “I was coming home from my job around 9 or 10, and then mixing till 2 or 3, only to get back up and get to work at 9 again. I was barely sleeping and losing weight.” Problems with her record label compounded her frustration; the heavy touring season that followed, prolonged it.

About the Band
Social Studies crafts intricate songs that combine angular indie rock and classic twee-pop. What distingishes the San Francsico-based group is their eclectic, complex song writing: unusual structures and mathy beats are tempered by soft edges and danceable casio hooks. Moody, defiant and hopeful, the lyrics celebrate duality through themes of discontent, violence, innocence, renewal, nostalgia, regret and joy. All these elements take shape in unpredictable, catchy songs that burrow into your consciousness and demand repeat listening and a critical reading between the lines. Combine this imaginative songwriting with a consistently high energy live show, and it is no surprise that Social Studies has generated a loyal fanbase and strong buzz in the SF Bay Area and beyond.
At the core of Social Studies are Natalia Rogovin on keyboards and vocals, and Michael Jirkovsky on drums. Natalia spent her youth on a commune in rural Oregon and trained to be a classical pianist, while Michael grew up in Chicago and cut his teeth on the Chicago punk scene. The two met in college in Santa Cruz and assembled Social Studies upon graduating and moving to the SF Bay Area a couple of years later.

Info Savoir Adore is an accident. We (Deidre Muro and Paul Hammer) never really intended to "start a band," yet ... Hi! Here we are. Phase 1: We met at NYU, but it took two years of friendship and going to each others' shows before we decided to collaborate on something. in January 2006, we went up to Paul's childhood home in Carmel, NY (referred to from now on as "upstate") and played around in his studio, ending up with an exploratory, improvisational instrumental track. Deidre wanted to have the track, Paul decided to make a MySpace page especially for it, and as necessity is the mother of invention, we needed a name. Savoir Adore was created then, though it didn't really exist yet. Phase 2: November 2006 - Unsatisfied with current situations, we challenged each other to a weekend upstate in which we would create and record a concept album. The Adventures of Mr. Pumpernickel and the Girl with Animals in her Throat was born, for us and our friends. Friends passed the recording to other friends... we were encouraged... we played a few live shows under the name "Les Frogs"... we started performing as Savoir Adore... Cantora Records encouraged us more... we went upstate another weekend and recorded the core of several more songs (most of which would end up on our full-length record)... shows shows shows... got a band together... record record ... write write.... Phase 3: And now we have an LP, In The Wooded Forest (released September 2009). Phase 4: And NOW - we're back in the studio, writing and recording...

BIOGRAPHICAL INFO: With her debut album, The Truth About Suffering, the sharp-witted chanteuse Jamie Leonhart enters the world of a new kind of diva, dynamic in emotional range and diverse in genre-crossing ability.
Jamie’s lithe and lyrical, three-and-a-half octave voice wraps around universe in which Kurt Weill and Laura Nyro meet Alice in Wonderland in a dimly-lit jazz club, inhabited by woodwinds, strings, vibraphone, and exotic instruments like the glockenspiel, mellotron and harmonium.
Born in New York City, the granddaughter of a cantor, and the youngest of three musically-curious children, Jamie began studying the violin at the age of three and singing soon after. Her inspiration to find her own voice began in her early teen years while singing in a vocal jazz ensemble, and at home foraging through her brother’s expansive eclectic record collection. After graduating with a degree in English Literature from Barnard College, Jamie continued her musical journey: through leading a ‘pop’ band, to singing as a soloist in the New York Metro Mass Gospel Choir to performing as a solo artist at prominent New York venues such as Rockwood Music Hall, the Living Room, and Joe’s Pub.
Jamie writes about many things: love, vulnerability, perspective, patience, and trust. “These songs talk about the truth … the truth about being uncomfortable, fitting in or not fitting in, and addressing and sometimes accepting flaws and faults,” Leonhart says. “A lot of the tunes explore that: the human condition in its most basic form. The more intimate and specific I am with my lyrics, the more I hear from people that a song really ‘spoke to them’ – that I captured the sentiment that they were struggling to put to words, or felt alone in. So something very personal and intimate becomes universal.”

Elizabeth Tryon has just released the album, From Elizabeth, and this stunning new work could come from no one other than Elizabeth Tryon. This is because it is unique – just like Tryon is. While Tryon’s music holds immediate appeal to fans of Josh Groban and Sarah Brightman, and their respective mixtures of pop and classical musical elements, Tryon – the artist – simply transcends any such easy categorization. After all, this is a woman that writes screenplays, has perfected multiple British accents -- which are in high demand for commercial voiceover work -- and is an actress in the highly competitive New York City theater scene.

Track 3 - I'm sorry
MainSite MySpace
Info
The words come through your speakers. Tense words. Sharp words. Hypnotic words. Words couched in grinding guitars and thudding drums, words thick with emotional desperation that also reveal the strangely paradoxical beauty in suffering; the diamonds in the cave, waiting to be mined. The words are those of Lauren O’Brien, one of the most exciting young poet-performers on the scene today. “I love rock ’n’ roll, the passion and rebelliousness of it,” says Lauren. “But I want to be part of it in my own way—I want to take poetry and rock it out.” Which is exactly what Lauren does—and then some—on Inconsequential Dream, her astonishing debut album. Take “Color Code,” a menacing, tension-rich rumination on love’s blurred lines of communication (“The colors in our code system / seem to keep switching on me”). Or the hard-hitting title track, which was inspired by the numerous mystic predictions about the year 2012 and the letting go of old ideas in order to live more fully in the new age (“Try to survive / it’s time / the quickening / the great purifying”). And then there’s “To Let Someone,” an acoustic guitar-laced allegory likening newfound spiritual energy to the acceptance of a former lover’s new mate (“To let someone / who is loved / by the one who used to love you / into your home / Well that is the thing/ that takes / the most courage”). Much like Lauren’s riveting live performances, Inconsequential Dream is a cathartic, emotionally cleansing experience that keeps the listener on the edge of their seat throughout—only to find them back in line when the last track stops, eager to sign up for another wild ride. Lauren’s own ride began in her suburban hometown of East Meadow, Long Island, where she found herself drawn to the arts and political activism. “I organized a protest against fur at the mall when I was in fifth grade,” says with a laugh. There was music and culture in the house; her father played guitar and her mother, a teacher, played piano and exposed her to literature and theater.

Info
The Nameless is Cathy's third album. Cathy was born in Dublin, and grew up in Monkstown. She found her way into music almost accidentally. She was signed by Parlophone's Regal Recordings after a batch of home-recorded demos caused a bit of a stir, and played her first live date shortly thereafter. Spirited away to a studio in Wales, she set to work on her debut album with producer Ben Hillier, who'd previously worked with Elbow and Blur. The result, Something Ilk, was a gorgeous collection of songs both sultry and sweet, with melodies that soared and guitars that buzzed, drawing comparisons to PJ Harvey and all those other female songwriters that female songwriters often seem to draw comparisons to. At any rate, most of these comparisons fell by the wayside with time, as Cathy managed to wriggle out of the indie-rock role that Parlophone had given her. She'd never felt comfortable making her voice heard in label discussions, and found that her debut was "very much other people's idea of what I should sound like." She found it difficult to perform the songs with confidence, and began to yearn for more independence. She took her time to make the follow-up, and made it on her terms. Tales of Silversleeve found its beginnings in some home demos Cathy recorded by herself, and brought with her, fully formed, into the studio. Over the three years since the release of Something Ilk, Cathy had learned how to have more faith in the songs themselves, and this time, with the help of engineer Liam Howe of Sneaker Pimps, the end result didn't stray far from her original vision. Hit singles like 'Sing for your Supper', and 'Reuben' ( a no 1 radio hit) had a depth and emotional touch that she'd been hiding, and there was a confidence in her live shows, too, that won her many new converts.

Artist Bio
ANALENA was born in the fall of 1997 and decided to exist as a band worthy of its name. The term ANALENA comes from the ancient Sanskrit, and translates as "like/by the fire". Too many great bands from this area succumbed to lack of enthusiasm, shortage of record labels and "infrastructure" in general, and last but not least, apathy. Members of ANALENA decided to be a different kind of band, the one that would keep the fire alive.
Although based in Zagreb, Croatia and rooted in punk rock ethos, ANALENA as a band was willing and determined to shatter many boundaries from the very beginning. It is symbolic that members of the band come from two countries, Croatia and Slovenia, and it comes as no surprise that during these 7 years neither listeners nor critics were able to strictly define and label their sound. In the case of this band, one man's hardcore is another man's noise is another man's punk. Diverse but steady, from bittersweet melodies and blistering hooks to pummeling and aggressive rhythms, ANALENA covers all the bases.
ANALENA worked hard from the start. Ana, Mijo, Miran, Six and Zet played towns many people wouldn't even be able to locate on the map, and beside playing all over Croatia, they also toured Europe a couple of times. They supported local scene through activism and providing help to many local

Info
As a mostly self taught musician, Isaboe has been composing songs since she picked up the guitar at 14. Her foray into musicianship was at around 5 yrs when her Dad taught her to play paradiddles on the snare drum of his old 50's Ludwig drumkit, complete with leather heads. Not long after, her Mum took all the kids to piano classes, but this came to an abrupt holt when their teacher moved to Africa. A host of other extra curricula activities like ballet classes and sports were starting to hog the attention. So for some years, aside from tinkering on the family piano or tuning into the radio, the musical inclination mostly lay dormant.
This all changed in highschool with music class on the timetable, and a whole new social life exposing another world of musical tastes and influences. Pulling out the old Ludgwig, drums became the most exciting indoor sport on the planet. Bashing away to The Police, a musical discovery from her older sister's boyfriend, Isaboe's enthusiasm convinced Dad that it was time to buy a drumkit of her own (lest he might end up with a hole in his leather heads).
It was about this time she pulled out an old classical guitar from her sister's cupboard and started to learn from chord books and working out songs by ear. Not long after, she also took up saxophone lessons. Jazz was added to her growing repertoie of musical tastes.
Henceforth, music became her favourite pastime, and over the following years she wrote many songs, dabbling in garage bands and producing a few studio demos and many multi-track home recordings in the process. With a massive catalogue of songs of varying genres under her compositional belt, it was time to share her music with others.

About
“I’ve always been drawn to the darker sides of art and music,” says Little Invisibles vocalist Gina Degnars. “Even back when I started taking piano lessons, when I was seven years old—I always wanted to play the minor chords, not the major ones. There’s a powerful beauty in darkness, I think.”
So there is, from Chopin to Poe to Twilight. And it’s that same dark, powerful beauty that resonates throughout Little Invisibles’ brand of hauntingly melodic alternative pop. With Gina’s aching voice and poignant keyboard at the fore, the band’s epic, sweeping songs rise and swell like waves on a moonlit shore until they crash over the listener like a sea of Byronic heartbreak. Five of these impossibly moving songs—all composed, like the rest of the group’s music, by Gina—make up Closer, Little Invisibles’ stunning debut.
A dramatic unveiling if ever there was, Closer, which Gina co-produced, is a veritable jewel box of wide-screen modern rock. Within: jaw-dropping riches like the opener, “Breathless,” all ghostly piano, soaring vocals, and danceable trip-hop beats; the wounded-but-defiant lament “What Once Was,” the EP’s only piano-less track; and “Headrush,” a sultry duet with co-composer Lance Davis that pulses with heart-beating rhythms and gothic (small g) melodrama.
If it all sounds a bit Jane Eyre, well, then why not? Gina, who’s been through the relationship mill as much as any mature artist, maintains that she’s merely allowing her romantic angst to flower into songs that are beautiful and, ultimately, redemptive and uplifting for those who hear them. “When I’m happy I never go to the piano to write,” says Gina, who holds a bachelor’s degree in piano performance and studied at Boston’s Berklee College of Music. “I write first and foremost from emotion, and after a breakup you never have to look far for inspiration. But even then there usually ends up being an element of hope in my songs.”

Artist Bio
Marisa and Kelly grew up together on Anna Maria Island off the coast of Florida. They met in Mrs. Brockway's 2nd grade class and have been besties ever since. The girls spent their time having pancakes on the beach, singing into a tape recorder and bringing boys to the haunted house after school to make out. Meanwhile, on the other side of Florida, Rikky was growing up and doing naughty things like making out with girls and skipping school, things unbecoming of a young man whose given name was Richard Francis Walsh IV.
Marisa and Kelly met Rikky in college, where he was playing in a punk band and still skipping school. The ladies took their very first keyboard course, "keyboard 101 for non-music majors" where they proved to be the worst players in the class. It was with this encouragement that shortly thereafter, Marisa and Kelly moved to New York City and started writing songs together in a band called The Besties. Rikky moved to New York and joined the party, and The Besties' trademark sound started to take shape. They didn't know any drummers, hence the keyboard drums. At first they were too scared to sing alone, hence the vocal harmonies.
The Besties live together in an old knitting factory in Brooklyn. A team of friends came together in true DIY spirit to create the release. One friend offered studio time, photographer Leah Morgan turned the loft into a photo shoot and Wes Duvall headed up the art direction. The recording was mixed by The Besties, with help from fellow musician Jayme Guokas from The Snow Fairies.

3 KISSES jumps from one high energy style to another with traces of just about every cool female-fronted rock band of the last 20 years. The band has been compared to an array of artists including the Cranberries, Luscious Jackson, the Breeders, Joan Jett, the Buzzcocks, Letters to Cleo, Wendy O. Williams, Blondie, the Ramones and everything in between. They have coined the phrase ‘Texas Party Punk’ to describe their music. 3 KISSES’ live performance has been called ‘freakin’ explosive’ and lead singer/guitarist Tish Meeks has been referred to as ‘a ball of fire on stage.’ Tish launched 3 KISSES in Austin, TX, in January 2004 and the band has since performed over 350 live shows for over 300,000 people. Joey Smostek (lead guitar), Sam Hines (bass) and Andy Wood (drums) complete the recipe for 3 KISSES’ punkish ‘cuddle-angst’ with a positive, party vibe.

ANEMO began life in September 2002 when Kingsley Sage was auditioning singers for a song writing and recording project. The results had been universally disappointing (to put it mildly), until at the 11th hour a former actress and talented vocalist called Hazelle Woodhurst entered the picture. The two immediately got on well, with their shared love of different types of music and, of course, a good cup of tea. The two set to work on penning a number of songs that would later become the basis of the ANEMO's first album. They decided that the project needed a rock edge, and to that end guitarist Matt Palmer was added to the mix.
After countless evenings at the band's basement studio in Brighton, the three had amassed an impressive collection of pop-meets-rock-meets-electronica tracks. At this point, the group took on the name ANEMO a word that means "changing forms", to reflect the blend of styles and influences that was brought to the music. The strong vocal melodies and distinctive style caught the attention of Trebor Lloyd, CEO of New York-based upcoming independent record label, City Canyons. In summer 2005 ANEMO signed a 3 album record contract and began to record the final tracks for their first album

Info
Lily Sparks is a fun, sexy rock band in the vein of Heart and Pink, that delivers pure excitement. Check out the website, come to a show and experience it for yourself!
First timers are never quite sure what to expect when they see a Lily Sparks show but after a few seconds it’s pretty clear: They rock. Flanked by glitter guitars that alternate between crunch and wail, the singer’s got a set of pipes that can go from fragility to fury in a heartbeat. These girls play hard-rocking, toe-tapping songs that’ll make you want to shout and sing along.
Lead vocalist Niamh (pronounced “neev”) was born to sing. As a child in Ireland she sang traditional Irish songs, perfomed in choral groups and played lead roles in musical theater. She’s classically trained in voice and piano. She’s probably taller than you. But don’t let that scare you…
Nikki 7 plays solid rhythm and inventive leads. She studied music and recording engineering at Berklee before settling in the Big Apple. Then she took the town by storm as the guitarist for several outrageous bands in including Cherry Red, Soap Opera Villain, Fluffy, and The Mynks. She probably has more tattoos than you. But don’t let that scare you…
KG* learned the guitar by joining a punk band. Later she ventured into alternative rock while trying to complete a graduate degree in neuroscience. Needless to say, she chose rock over brain surgery. She probably has more guitars than you. But don’t let that scare you…

"I didn't do this record the rock'n'roll boy way…it's my own sound," says Kelley Ryan.
Note the emphasis there—on the word "boy." Kelley Ryan, the front-woman for the California band astroPuppees and a go-to songwriter and collaborator (most recently on Marshall Crenshaw's Jaggedland), took a decidedly different approach to recording her first record under her own name. Twist is an album told from the female perspective; a theme encompassing everything from the lyrics to the instruments to the album's many moods.
"I had this idea: the record was only going to be about girls, be it the daughter I never had, a heroine of my mine, my grandmother or a woman who lived near me in Ireland," says Kelley. "It's all from the feminine perspective. Even in the music – there's no electric guitars, it's just acoustic and loops and strings. I mean, I love three-minute electric-guitar pop songs, but I wanted to create something more comfortable for me and stay in that mood."
But don't get the wrong idea – Twist isn't a polarizing record, a long lost Lilith Fair soundtrack or an angry feminine response a la Exile in Guyville. It's a gutsy record with ambitious production, smart collaborations (with the likes of producer Don Dixon (R.E.M., Smithereens), legendary arranger Van Dyke Parks and singer / songwriter Marti Jones), and a personal touch and warmth that crosses all musical boundaries. If anything, the album is reminiscent of something like Beck's Sea Change…which, not so coincidentally, is represented here by a cover of "Lost Cause" (more on that in a minute).

Sick of reading about himself in the third person on his own profile, Bobby decided to reWrite his biography...I love music, I love telling stories and I'm a shameless attention seeker! I'm awkward, I always say the wrong thing at the wrong time, and I'm a hopeless romantic! I don't dream of recognition, and I am most definitely not an artist of any description. I am a silly little boy with a few stories he likes to tell, because I love life...the good and bad...it is all beautiful!

Info
Formed by the association of singer Amélie Laflamme and musician/songwriter François Dufault, The Blue Seeds is completed by Marc Chartrain on drums, Martin Farmer on bass, Roger Miron on lead guitar and Eric Rathe on keys. Produced by François Dufault, the new album was recorded in Montreal (Canada) at Masterkut Studio and in Faenza (Italy) with the collaboration of Dustin O’Halloran (Marie-Antoinette Soundtrack, Sofia Coppola) from the American band The Devics. Recorded with an “indie” sensibility, the 11 songs comprised on the record reveal rich arrangements that include a wide variety of instruments ranging from electric guitars to analog keyboards, mellotron and vibraphone. The result is one that is unique and original. Cinematic and very evocative, each song leads the listeners into a reverie as if they were part of a fictional road movie. On stage, the band delivers an outstanding performance, pushing the songs to their fullest while leaving the audience into a daydream and sometimes stunned by the energy displayed by the musicians.

Bio
The Dials were born when co-lead vocalists Rebecca Crawford (bass) and Patti Gran (guitar) simultaneously saved each other from their lingering and daunting search through the Chicago musician ads back in 2002. Upon meeting, an instant friendship and kinetic chemistry developed between the two as they played their prior projects for each other and discussed their mutual adoration of 60's girl-groups and 80's power pop. With the addition of a keyboardist and a drummer, they played their first show almost before they even agreed on a band name.
A few months, a drummer, and a keyboardist later, Crawford and Gran found themselves with half of the original line-up, but a quickly growing loyal fan base surrounding them. So with determination fueling their fire, they hit the pavement and recruited friend and major Dials fan Emily Dennison. Trading in her ivories for a farfisa, Dennison brought her unique ‘Beethoven-gone-Devo' style to their sound. With the addition of a new drummer almost exactly at the same time, the band was back in action and recorded and released their Sick Times EP that winter 2003. Not only did the local press praise the EP, but national media also took notice of the Dials.

Info
Vonne is able to assert her vibrant personality within a diversity of musical and thematic modes offering "something for everyone" thanks to a lifelong immersion within a universe of music. One of 10 offspring of a drummer father of Mexican descent and a singing and guitar playing Spanish mother, she grew up in a household where "music was always a part of our lives." Her mother would quell the brood and instill them with a harmonic sense by leading them in Spanish folk songs from an early age, while also treating them to afternoons at the cinema enjoying MGM and Broadway musicals.
By her early teens, Vonne was also enjoying musical input from the various sounds and styles found within her siblings' record collections. But it was artists with a particularly Texan mix such as Lone Star heroes Stevie Ray Vaughan and Joe Ely that captured her imagination. After attending her first concert by Chris Isaak sideman Johnny Reno and his Sax Maniacs, Vonne was captured by the allure of performing onstage. Then when one of her brothers brought home an album by Chicano new wave rockers The Cruzados, she discovered a modern style that reflected her identity. " They sang in English and Spanish, which made us proud of our heritage," she recalls.
Moving to New York City to pursue her creative ambitions, Vonne landed a gig singing and then also playing bass in Mick & The Maelstroms, a hard-working pop-rock band on the Big Apple club circuit. By 1996, she had the confidence in her abilities to start penning songs that reflected her own musical and cultural experiences, often collaborating with her then boyfriend and now husband, Robert LaRoche from the Virgin recording act The Sighs. Hooking up with lead guitarist Kirk Brewster, a Texas transplant from the legendary Dallas band The Werewolves, Vonne formed a band that could deliver her Lone Star style with New York City intensity.

Info
Once upon a time there was a band. Before that, there were merely five musical folk with a shared love of fruit, tea, fun and a jaunty tune, but the fates and these shared loves brought them together. In time, ideas were scribbled, the kettle worked almost as hard as their strange musical minds, many curvy yellow fruits were eaten, and the first songs were born. These were the Banana Sessions, and so it began…
The Banana Sessions sing songs of sunshine, caterpillars, brews, Buckfast, pirates and stranger encounters, plus a few unconventional interpretations of classics too (one crowd favourite being 90s techno classic No Limit by 2Unlimited). Their style is not one easily described, but they have been described in their time as folky, proggy, breezy, bouncy, jazzy, quirky, and ‘unashamedly good fun’. Whatever genre they may be, the band have rapidly gained a reputation as purveyors of quality musicianship with equal quantities of humour in Edinburgh and beyond.

Antonia is a singer/songwriter born in the awe-inspiring setting of the Shetland Islands. In her second year of Uni she took the step to buy a guitar and worked through open mic nights and busking the cobbled and famous Royal Mile, honing her skills and testing out new styles before breaking into the ....Edinburgh.... gig scene. Playing in venues such as Henry Cellar Bar, Bannermans and The Ark as well as a stint in Glasgow's Liquid Ship, Antonia caught the performing bug and started to develop her own blend of folk/rock/pop with a large focus on creative lyrics.
Now back in Shetland Antonia has supported the likes of Chris Helme (former front man of The Seahorses) and Mark Morriss (of Bluetones fame). Now having released her debut album “Baliamo” she is on the verge of recording and releasing a second, more adventurous offering, as well as planning a tour of the ....UK.... for late summer 2010. So for lyrically minded acoustic tunes that are rough around the edges and born from a love of all things musical, give it a listen!
“In a world where there are more singer-songwriters than there are cappuccinos sold in Starbucks, having a little something extra is vital. Antonia has confidence, great tunes and a sparkle that should see her do well.” - Mike Riddel

Each previously leaders of their own indie bands, they met on March 4th four years ago and formed KaiserCartel when they joined forces to tour the country that summer. They self-released an EP (Double Standard) and toured throughout the US and UK on their own before signing to bluhammock music late last year. March Forth, their debut album – was produced by Matt Hales (aka aqualung) and mixed by Matt and Ken Thomas (Sigur Ros) - and is full of low-fi, harmony-heavy, bittersweet songs full of charm. KaiserCartel is currently on tour and intend to stay there until they’ve played for all of you. Here’s what 411mania.com has to say about the duo: "While KaiserCartel look like a couple of emo kids who have lost their way don’t be deceived, they certainly bring their own brand sunshine with them and that reflected light is as warm and inviting as anything you'll find.. A fantastic collection of songs from two people that know how to play with each other and for each other. My album of the year so far."

Info
Betty Wright (born December 21, 1953, in Miami, Florida) is a soul and R&B singer, who has influenced a generation of female singer-songwriters. The hottest members of the hip hop generation (including Tupac, DMX, and Li'l Wayne) have sampled some of her more famous material. Born singing gospel with family group the Echoes of Joy, Wright began switching to R&B music in 1965 when she was only 11. In 1968, she released her first album, My First Time Around, at the age of 15, and scored her first hit, "Girls Can’t Do What Guys Can Do". But it was not until the end of 1971 that Wright’s most successful phase of her career took place. The song, "Clean Up Woman", became a Top 5 pop and R&B hit, and would later influence a remix of Mary J. Blige’s "Real Love" single with the sample of its guitar riffs; R&B girl group trio SWV’s "I’m So Into You" also featured a sample from "Clean Up Woman," as did Afrika Bambaataa’s song "Zulu War Chant", and Sublime’s "Get Out!" remix. Beyonce has sampled "Girls Can’t Do What The Guys Do" for her hit "Upgrade U". In 1974, Wright scored big with the songs "Tonight is the Night" (about a real-life love affair that happened with Wright when she was a teenager) and "Where is the Love" (which won her a Grammy for Best R&B Song). In the early 1980s, she founded her own record label, Ms. B Records, and in 1988 made music history by being the first woman to have a gold record on her own label, with the release of Mother Wit, which featured two of her biggest hits in years, "No Pain No Gain" and the "After The Pain." On both songs, Wright displays her powerful upper register capabilities and seven-octave range. By 2001 a compilation album The Very Best of Betty Wright was released, along with her first studio album for several years, Fit for a King. Still recording music to this day, she now mentors several young singers, and has done vocal production for the likes of Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez and Joss Stone. She has also been seen on MTV as part of Diddy's hit series Making the Band.
This year she struck gold again when "Baby" (her smash duet with Angie Stone) was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best R&B Performance By A Duo or Group.
For the first time ever Betty Wright has licensed digital distribution of her Ms. B Records catalog. The first reissues, Mother Wit and Fit For A King, will be available in early 2009 at digital retailers worldwide.

from RexRecords
Info
At the helm is singer/guitarist /songwriter Jessie Murphy- a critically acclaimed veteran of the NYC anti-folk scene. In 2008, while working on her Masters Degree in Music at Columbia University, she met and befriended Marcia Wood (Wurlitzer, flute, clarinet, harmonica, pan pipes and vocals) and Amy Wood (horn, cajon/percussion, flute, melodica, autoharp and vocals). Jessie, Marcia, and Amy are all NYC music teachers(just in case the plethora of musical instruments didn’t tip you off).
Amy recalls “from the first time the three of us played together, it was just easy, noticeably so”. Marcia says, “When I heard Jessie’s lyrics, it impacted my playing, it was easy to picture sounds when I was working with her.” Jessie states proudly, “We had that magic thing right away, the right vibe and the right sound. We knew very quickly that we were a band.”And so The Woods were born. Sessions soon began for the trio’s debut album, Eight Belles. The first song “When I Am A Horse Again” is a lament to that perfect day so long ago. It is a sound out of time, classical performers playing pop forms, creating a swirling and mystical atmosphere that perfectly supports the lyrics.
So far girls have toured the UK (where they were featured on Cambridge University Radio) and have played shows from Ithaca NY to Los Angeles CA. Jessie Murphy In The Woods are preparing to release their debut album, Eight Belles, in late Fall of 2009. The album is a gorgeous showcase for the players, emotionally affecting without becoming cloying or overly sweet. The final and title track of the album, 8 Belles, is a eulogy to a filly who died on the racetrack during 2008’s Kentucky Derby. In between are nine other songs about life, love, and horses.
Jessie Murphy In The Woods has become a world unto themselves. Jessie enthuses, “The more time we spend and sing together, the more unified we become, and the more we have to give in our performances. We’re discovering the realm of our music as it happens.” Marcia says, “There’s a chamber like quality to our shows, a shared sense of intimacy.” On Eight Belles, you hear the sounds and magic of a band coming together. If their music sounds like a fairy tale, it’s fitting, for it's in its own glorious place and time. Now saddle up and ride along, it’s a long way to forever.

Biography
The Hermit’s story is one of musical evolution and creative growth. Three albums and multiple tours stretching across almost a decade for founder Hamish Thomson have seen The Hermit’s sound change and evolve, whilst bonds with trusted band-mates Jon Frederiksen (bass), Robert Mitchell (keyboards), and Duane Murrin (guitars) have been strengthened and new vocalist Red welcomed into the fold.
Founded in the year 2000 by Vancouver drummer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Thomson, The Hermit began life as a solo electronic project, so called because of the reclusive life Thomson led during the creation of his debut album “Flying out of Solitude”. A successful independent release led to multiple West Coast Music Award nominations and a label deal with Nettwerk Records.
The five members of The Hermit now stand together stronger than ever, fortified by the creative journey with all of its unexpected twists and turns. The Hermit stands proud as a solo studio project that grew into an award-winning band. With the release of Turn Up (The Stereo) - a new album featuring vocalists from the past and present – The Hermit simultaneously marks the end of one journey and embraces a new beginning.

Info
In 2005 Renée, Naemi and Teresa started playing together as Liechtenstein. Influenced by British 80s bands like Talulah Gosh, Dolly Mixture, Mo-Dettes, Girls At Our Best and Shop Assistants, they released their debut 7” single “Stalking Skills” on Fraction Discs in 2007. The title track made quite a buzz in the indiepop world and a frequent gigging around in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany and United Kingdom followed. Around that time Elin joined the band on drums. In the summer of 2008 second guitarist and vocalist Teresa left the band and the others continued as a three piece.
In the autumn 2008 Fraction Discs released their second 7” single “Apathy”, and a video was made for the flipside “Security By Design”. “Apathy” showed a new diversity with its gorgeous vocal harmonies over soft pop melodies. It sounds all cosy, yet this is an angry protest songs. It’s songs like these that have gained Liechtenstein a true fan base, bringing back that heavenly pop sound from back then …and at the same time commenting upon the very time we’re living in.
A third single was released in February 2009, this time a three track CDR on Drill Building. Starting rapidly, paying a musical tribute to Talulah Gosh, over a shoegazey dystopia to a 48 second post punk song, you start to get the idea of a Liechtenstein album: filled with Pop melodies, elegantly arranged vocal harmonies – and a bundle of short story observations.
In May 2009 their album "Survival Strategies In A Modern World" was released on Fraction Discs and Slumberland (US) on CD and 10".

Good news!
I've made the final 5 in the Folk-Jazz-Classical-World music category (or what I like to call the "everyone-we-couldn't-pigeon-hole-into-the-'pop'-'rock'-'dance'-or-'alternative'-categories" category).
Now I know you all automatically switch off when someone sends round a please-vote-for-me type email, so like, don't vote....
Unless you want to.
(Do you see what I did there? Bit of reverse psychology and all...)
But just remember, in the words of Albus Dumbledore,: "Soon we will all have to choose between what is right and what is easy...." (like ignoring this email ).

Info
From the very start, the concept was, in stark contrast to the rest of the Canadian scene during that ‘Nickelback moment‘, unashamedly and unapologetically POP. Dan explains, “I’d like to write songs that at least I can remember. And I’m very bad at remembering melodies and the lyrics, so it needs to be memorable!”
Through a few strokes of fortune, their first public appearances were baptisms of fire in the deep end of concert-dom. Their second-ever show was supporting New Order at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom, followed by a US tour supporting Duran Duran. All after recording just 2 songs in their basement.
Dragonette eventually signed a record deal, and, like fellow Canadians Peaches (who they know) and Gonzales (with whom Dan went to school), headed for Europe. The band decamped to London with Joel and hooked up with guitarist Will (the British quarter of Dragonette), where they honed their small but perfectly-formed, all-killer-no-filler repertoire. Ruthless perfectionists, they explain that “We don’t have any spare songs. We write songs till they’re finished, then we kill off other ones. It’s not like we picked 10 out of a possible 20 for the album.”
The results are a dirty, hook-heavy, electropop album called Galore with monsters like “I Get Around” and “Competition”, depicting a world of guilt-free pleasure mixed with an 80s party prowess. Martina isn’t interested in writing, she says, “songs to get depressed to.” As Dan puts it, “It’s hard enough working on songs that are fun. I can’t even imagine what it‘s like working on miserable material…” The record has received praise from such diverse sources as the NME. UK dailies the Observer, Times and Guardian, online pop bible popjustice, and has garnered multiple mentions from Perez Hilton (whose showcase the band performed at during last year’s SXSW).

Biography
Originally from Switzerland, Aurah's musical journal of their quest to experiecne life's alchemy.
Marc Dold and Judith Martin's picturesque, electronic and haunting music has found it's way into numerous TV-shows and feature films. They have recently also written film scores for feature and shorts.
Emotional guitar sounds and scintilating vocal arrangements are part of the essence of music that is as much pop as transcendental and electronic. The twin sound clouds of film scores and songs reflect their personal journey. Each one of their albums has a completely unique sound and purpose. As a producer, Dold has given both Enya and Nelly Furtado number one hits, has worked with Paul Van Dykl, Cindy Lauper and others...
more of Marc at www.marcdold.com
After Aurah's release SONGS OF THE ALCHEMIST Martin took pen and paper on the grassy knolls of Griffith Park in Los Angeles and began writing KISMET. The trippie sounds share the reflective essence being both intimate and universal.
Aurah went on to compose the film score for the award-winning feature film Loving Annabelle and various short films. They're songs are also heard on Little Miss Sunshine and Blood Diamond. Logically...their latest CD ETHEREA BOREALIS is a the merging of soaring, psychedelic soundscapes and songs.

"Tallulah Rendall ’lay me down’ (transducer). Must take some beating being told you have a ’wonderful voice’ by none other than Shirley Bassey - with that kind of acclaim you’d suspect most artists would happily retire and spend the ensuing years solely trading on that moment sealing morsel. Not Tallulah Rendall this London based songstress has set up her own label so as to keep her music out of the thumb twiddling unit chasing bandwagon jumping controlling freaks that you and I lovingly refer to as major labels.
A handful of releases already in the hands of those of the clued up record buying cognoscenti and an album in the shape of ’Libellus’ currently doing the rounds which we suspect we’ll have to nail as our own just so that we can get a peaceful nights sleep safe in the knowledge that its within easy reach of our hi-fi. Clearly freefalling in the vapour trails left by the likes of Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) and Regina Spektor, Rendall is clearly touched with a rare and exquisite sense of artistry, both playfully tender and primed with a sense of theatre and classicism much like a youthful Kate Bush, ’lay me down’ is clipped with an eerie enchantment, both demurring and demanding yet spellbinding and sultry, the torch like treatments throughout abridged and sweetly countered by an innate passion that swirls with a subtle though hitherto intoxicating tide rushing dramatic tension - and apologies for ruining the mood so far but it just has to be said - its as horny as hell.Those wanting to hear more - and we strongly suspect you do want more - are advised to head forthwith over to www.myspace.com/tallulahrendall and fill your boots with the near divinely siren-esque ethereal folk rocking ’only you’.

The Girlas consist of 3 women working together to perform original music with a mix of folk, acoustic, blues, soul, and bluegrass. Of these women are:
Candy Diaz Yasuda: a singer/song writer with a penchant for old torch jazz
Carly Smith: a singer/song writer with a heavy background in bluegrass as well as the daughter of reknown bluegrass musician Ty Smith
Kelli Heath: a singer/song writer with amazing talent for guitar composition, slack key, and witty lyrics.
Under the collective title, The Girlas, Kelli, Candy, & Carly began collaborating amongst one another to create a genre of music that incorporates all aspects of their individual skill.
The debut release of “Now of Never” was met with much appreciated enthusiam. Jamie Winnpenny of the Honolulu Weekly wrote, “Their lyrical content is poignant rather than preachy, their instrumental prowess is informed rather than forced and their harmonies are inspired.” Wayne Harada of the Honolulu Advertiser said, “"The harmonies are sweet; the lingering passions sweeter. Think Na Leo with attitude and soul. The Girlas are great because they're both unpredictable and prolific." John Berger of the Star Bulletin had this to say, “Each introspective composition seems more exquisite than the other. Whether they're singing of heartbreak, troubled relationships or an enigmatic encounter with angels, the Girlas are an enchanting discovery for fans of smooth pop music.”

Artist Bio
Best Crisis Ever, the new album from trans-continental ApSci (pronounced APP-sigh), was begun in a Brooklyn apartment overlooking a coffee factory in 2006, and finished in a Sydney apartment by the beach in 2008. While 2005’s Thanks for Asking was a collabo-rich hip-hop-electro diary with guests spanning from indie-rap pinch hitters Mr. Lif and Pigeon John to the bandleaders of TV On The Radio and Antibalas, the new record has been executed almost entirely by the duo, Australian-Filipina Dana Diaz-Tutaan and the Irish-Italian, Bronx-born Raphael LaMotta. It’s a louder, catchier and more expansive take on ApSci’s unique combination of electro, hip-hop and quirky pop, relying heavier on songwriting and a combination of vintage drum machine sounds, synths and guitars. It’s equal parts New York bravado and Australian charm, reflecting the respective hometowns of each, and how the duo, despite the nearly opposite lifestyle and pace of the cities, have managed to comfortably straddle both for nearly a decade.
A little history: the Iate 90s, summertime in New York. Nuyorican Poet’s Cafe, Rocksteady Reunion, Baby Jupiter were the places that mattered to a devoted scene. Solesides, Company Flow, Mike Ladd and Antipop Consortium were underground brainiac heroes. Open mics and street cyphers were a vibrant and common occurrence in every borough, and people came from all over the world to experience the city’s late-era hip-hop renaissance.
It was in this context that Dana, who was then visiting New York, met Raphael. Although their fi rst encounter wasn’t exactly congenial (“I was in a weird mood,” Ra explains. “He was rude,” Dana counters), they were a part of a tight circle of performers and often found themselves on the same bill, or in the same crowd, or freestyling on the same corners. Soon studio time was booked, pager numbers were exchanged, and before long they were collaborators, writing and recording their own unique material.

Info
Raised only a few streets from the legendary Van Morrison (although, admittedly several decades later), Elle Stevenson is finally receiving recognition in the Northern Irish music scene and, having won a showcase on the music investment website 'Slicethepie.com', which secured her £15,000 to record her long-awaited debut album, it looks like she's all set to grace more than just the local scene with her talent....
At the centre of the music is her voice - best described by the terms "fragile", "ethereal" and "haunting" - which provides an apt vehicle for songs which betray a rare kind of honesty. Stevenson certainly doesn't shy away from wearing her heart on her sleeve and her songs have, at times, been described as "lyrically raw". Yet, they are so carefully framed by those trademark cascading piano lines that the incongruity of the music and lyrics merely draw the listener to the place where catharsis and redemption finally meet.
While comparisons to other artists reveal little about Elle's unique direction, she does list an impressive range of influences of artists whom she admires, including the likes of: Suzanne Vega, Justin Currie, Crowded House, the Dixie Chicks, Lucinda Williams, Patty Griffin, Alanis Morisette, Sarah McLachlan, Gillian Welch, Tracy Chapman, Angie Stevens, Sheryl Crow, Ryan Adams, Bill Mallonee, Bryan Adams, Coldplay, Rascal Flatts, Radiohead, Kings of Leon, Editors, The Fray, OneRepublic, The Beautiful South; not to mention a few you might not expect, such as Shirley Bassey and Take That!
To date, Elle has supported many artists on the local Irish music scene, as well as those of international acclaim, such as guitar legends Rodrigo y Gabriela and pop/soul diva, Beverley Knight. With the fast-approaching release date for her debut album, however, Elle is unlikely to be the supporting artist for much longer and the expectation is that it won't be long before you're hearing a lot, lot more from this talented lady....
Elle's debut album "Coming Around" goes on general release Monday 21st September 2009.

Info
Sara Tavares was only 16 years old when she won two of Portugals most prestigious TV music contests. Born out second generation Cape Verdian immigrants, Sara grew up between two cultures. Initially known as a singer and composer of Gospel, Funk and Soul, she gradually incorporated more African music in her compositions. Her second album Mi Ma B, produced by Parisian Lokua Kanza, reached gold in Portugal and was a mix of African rhythms and melodic pop songs. After a long wait of five years, finally her new album Balance was released in February 2006. On this record, produced by Sara herself, she wrote and composed all the songs and played many of the instruments. Balance is a beautiful record on which Sara shows to be a very talented contemporary singer/song writer, who has managed to combine in a subtle and honest way contemporary music with her African roots.

Sweet as apple-pie pop, from Stockholm high school girls, led by a pounding Hammond organ. These four tracks emulate some of the true twee pop greats such as Bis and Girlfrendo. “Those Dancing Days”, the northern soul inspired song which the band are named after, could easily fit onto the soundtrack of Austin Powers. “Hitten,” possibly the band’s signature tune is a fizzy pop number which will have you singing along instantly. If this band are not the next big thing I am willing to bet my life savings that one of the members of this group will feature on a Top Twenty selling Swedish album within the next five years.

SUNSOMA are one of those bands that need a string of adjectives to best describe their music- they truly have a sound that’s all their own, and yet are not so left of the field that you can’t get a firm grasp on their catchy, hooky tunes. O.K here come the adjectives: Alternative/Indie/Rock/Pop-esque - Yep that should cover it.
The band was originally formed 6/7 years ago by Mel and for those with an appetite for all things cultural, the band name comes from a Greek word meaning ‘Unity’. In true Rock ‘n’ Roll style Sunsoma has endured a healthy number of line up changes but their resolve to keep pushing on has never diminished. “ Stuff happens and you’ve got two choices- winge or go with it! “ says Mel “ music is the most amazing art form on the entire planet and we just love what we do “
Last October the band weathered one such change, and found themselves ‘going with it’ as they swiftly downsized into the compact yet fully in tact 3 piece that they are today. Having shaken the dust and with creativity levels positively thriving, these three have, it seems, become more tight knit than a woollen wetsuit.

Info
When you see Amanda Duncan in person, it's easy to think, "How does all that sound come out of that little body?" Never quite blessed with height, Amanda was blessed with one roaring set of pipes. And a knack for writing lyrics so honest, they cut right to the core of her audience.
After borrowing her uncle's guitar for a brief stint in high school, she soon realized that this whole music thing might just be more than a fling. She began writing songs about silly things at first, but as her musical understanding grew, so did her desire to really connect with people. She realized that if she was feeling strongly enough to dignify a situation with a song there must be others who could relate and benefit from hearing their own story. "There are so many songs out there that are reflective of negative issues of people's lives. I want to connect with the positive."
A primarily self-taught musician, she plays guitar, hand percussion, and most uncommonly, the mandolin. For those listeners looking for something refreshing, Amanda delivers. She infuses the pop country structure with a folkier sound than most current artists. But what really sets her apart from the rest is her dedication to simplicity and her traditionally acoustic sound, reminicent of the bluegrass style.

Bio
Girl Activity melds the in-your-face, buzz-saw guitar, and driving rhythms of the Foo Fighters sound with the understated, vulnerability of the vocal stylings of Liz Phair and influential indie pop group Belly. The group conveys a relaxed, plug-in-the-amp-and-let's-play attitude. Lead singer and rhythm guitarist Jessie Ambriz heads up an eclectic bunch with roots in soul, R&B, rock and heavy metal. The very talented Nick Jaffe, also of the group Soul People, plays lead guitar. His dynamic presence contributes to the band's enthusiastic range of the rock-n-roll genre. Alyson Carrel, who was a member of Popcanon, keeps it tight and in the pocket on bass. Nina Talia, formerly of the soul-funk band Thrillhouse Collective, lays down the beats on the drums and shares song-writing credit along with Jessie.
Girl Activity credits its song-writing style to influences such as the Ramones, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, the Muffs, and the alternative rock scene of the '90s. The songs are laced with catchy hooks and melodies that you'll find yourself humming after listening.
The band has just finished their first record, Broken Hearts and Righteous Anger. Truly a labor of love, the album was written, performed, recorded, mixed and produced by the founders of Girl Activity, Nina and Jessie. Live performances consist mainly of material from this record, along with new and driving singles, soon to be released

Jessie Grace is a singer/songwriter from South Bucks, who began her life in music studying classical piano. She went on to teach herself guitar and it was then that she began to write songs. Her main musical influences include Radiohead, Raconteurs, Nirvana, Bjork and PJ Harvey and she has incorporated all of these influences into her debut album ‘Asleep on the Good Foot’, produced by Dave Draper. It has so far been very well received; gaining praise from local media, both on radio and online. Tracks from the album have been broadcast on several ‘BBC Introducing’ shows, (Three Counties, BBC Oxford, and BBC Berks) with opening track ‘Beautiful’ being aired nationally on Tom Robinson’s ‘Introducing’ programme on BBC6. In a recent review of the record, online music reviewer Toxic Pete sums her style up:....................................................................................................... “… Her music sits somewhere between the nu-folk of K T Tunstall and some of the more angularly jazzy Joni Mitchell works. Add to that a very commercial sounding vocal delivery; something again between Tunstall, Judie Tzuke and Dido and you've got yourselves a very viable, workmanlike piece of work! Jessie Grace keeps this work very fluid, it's continually changing, evolving; just when you think you've got her sorted and labelled she hits you with something that refuses to be pigeonholed and you have to start re-thinking your initial assessment… if Jessie Grace can get the promotional support she deserves, this lady will be a name and a force to contend with.”......................................... Elsewhere on the web, Colin MacKinnon from Oxfordbands.com comments:................................................................................................... “‘Asleep on the Good Foot’ is an excellent debut from a really promising talent. A song like ‘L.O.V. E.’ is clinching proof of how good Grace can be, bringing it all together: smart songwriting, sympathetic production and a delectable voice. And she’s young and gorgeous. Don’t you just hate her?”.......................................................................................................... .........................................................................................................Jessie has previously been involved in several band projects and is now focussing on making it as a solo artist. She hopes ‘Asleep on the Good Foot’ represents a strong beginning to a long career producing world-class music.

Info
Melodee Rockmore is not your ordinary singer-songwriter, nor is she a ‘wannabe-popstar,’ she is a performer with a passion. Born in the UK to a Cypriot family, she was brought up in a quiet town in Hampshire where the closest thing to the Mediterranean is Costa Coffee.
Using the stage as an outlet for her frustrations and emotions, she has shown the drive and ability to achieve big things by already gaining airplay and press in the UK, USA, and across Europe…including a front cover spread in the Cyprus Daily Mail ‘Seven’ – a space previously occupied by Angelina Jolie and Cameron Diaz.
Combining her cultural routes with her love of rock and pop, Rockmore has evolved her own style, described by many as a ‘breath of fresh air.’ With powerful, melodic vocals combined with rocking guitars, funky bass lines and hard-hitting drums, the music is pop-rock with a beautiful twist. Her influences are wide spread: Rock, pop, folk, traditional Greek music, and hip-hop are all in Melodee’s collection, but bands and artists such as No Doubt, Queen and Michael Jackson are on constant rotation on Rockmore's CD player.

Bio:
Sharon Lang started playing music the day her brother Dave taught her how to play a two-chord guitar sketch. Since then, she has sailed the musical ocean of her mind learning the currents and waves and range of her talent until setting harbor here for a time. Hailing as lead singer of local groove and acid-rap band The Janissary, Lang has complimented her mysterious nature by presenting a whole other facet of musical capability.
The much anticipated release of her solo album, Lovers and Thieves (Digital release July 1 2009), is a showcase to her demure yet candid femininity. With her velvet vocals, mischievous lyrics, and an instrumentation capable of teasing you into bed, Sharon Lang has gone far beyond the expectation of her trip-hop roots and emerged a female performer prepared to allure her listeners with bona fide tunes.
Accompanied by friends and fellow musicians Lyndsay Pruett, John Depriest, and Josh Minyard, Lovers and Thieves is a simple, no-frills portrayal of Lang's experiences both before and during her time in Nashville. Inspired by the unique community of artists, lovers, gypsies, dreamers, saints, and sinners that occupy this fair city, it truly expresses a love of first-class effort and sincere dedication to all things that are good.

Info
Moth Complex is an electronic rock band fronted by singer/songwriter, Aoife O'Leary.
Moth Complex combines Aoife's powerful and gentle voice with off-kilter electronics and bruising rock. It's a sound of contrasting elements - at times loud and intense, at others pretty and soft - with each element complimenting and highlighting the other.
Based in Dublin, Ireland, Aoife began writing songs for Moth Complex with the idea of combining a propulsive sound with a hard, cold edge with open and bared melodies and words.
She approached Gerry Owens to work with her, having known his writing and production on Skindive. Together they defined their sound and wrote the songs for Moth Complex.
The live show is the perfect place to explore the varied musical elements in Moth Complex and here, Aoife is joined by Dave Kavanagh (guitar), Eoin Markey (bass) and Damien Murphy (drums).

Roman Navarro, a New York rocker, and Meredith Geoghegan, a Jersey grrrl, met in Manhattan while attending college for graphic design in the fall of '98. They became good friends because of their common pursuits as songwriters and musicians. Roman, who had been influenced by the guitar gods of classic rock Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page, was then listening heavily to Elliott Smith and the Flaming Lips. Meredith, who was initially struck by the raw attitude of Nirvana, Hole and L7, was then immersed in the Riot Grrrl scene and bands like Team Dresch and Sleater Kinney. After a few semesters of college together, Roman left to pursue music full time and they lost touch. Five years later, he called Meredith and she called him back twice. Within a few weeks, they began writing and recording music together with no real objective in mind other than to satisfy their own creative impulses.
After playing a loose experimental set of new material at a local show in April 2006, they began actively recording their self-released debut album “Credito O No Credito”. Both Roman and Meredith are multi-instrumental, singer/songwriters with keen ears for rhythm and melody. Together, they have composed an album of music that ranges from classic rock and grunge to dub and electronica. Each song is an imaginative soundscape that captivates and entertains. Currently, they are busy filming a few videos and writing/recording their follow up album "Suck a D".

For a talented group of Iranian poets and composers enjoying fame, the Iranian revolution of 1979 extinguished hopes, dreams and careers. We will never know what could have been.
Since a serendipitous introduction in 2003, Monika Jalili has worked tirelessly to revive the touching works of these Iranian artists, some of whom are no longer with us, and most of whom have lived the past 30 years into their old age unable to express themselves as they once could. It is their songs that Monika sings with passion, appreciation, care and love.
Monika's repertoire also includes folk songs from various regions of Iran. All songs are sung in local dialects and languages, with additional English and French translations on selected pieces.
Monika Jalili brings to life the rich history of Iranian culture through its music and poetry. Her entrancing selection of songs spans time and place; traditional Persian folk favorites stand alongside love songs from the 1940s to 1970s, a time of great cultural change in Iran. The songs are performed in their original languages of Persian, Azeri, and various dialects. Using traditional and non-traditional instruments, her ensemble musicians combine their influences to present original interpretations of this music. In a spirit of exploration, Monika aspires to create understanding through an appreciation of the beauty of Iranian culture. Monika's English and French translations are her way of sharing the poetry she loves with a global audience.

Info
Born and raised in Denver, I am the youngest of four daughters born to a singing preacher and his pianist-singer wife. Music is in my DNA, along with Christian spirituality and a healthy daily dose of all things theological. I "became a Christian" just a few months after I learned to walk, and was fairly certain that life would be a bag of tootsie pops thereafter, especially since the day I got saved my mom let me jump on the bed. So when a silly boy broke my heart during my junior year of high school, I was all but ruined at the tender age of 16. God became elusive and un-knowable, His presence with me questionable at best, and faith became something I’d have to, for the first time, hash out and make my own.
So, against the soundtrack of the brutal but beautiful honesty of artists like Jennifer Knapp and Sixpence None the Richer, I set out to find a connector between what I knew in my head and what I was experiencing in real-life that seemed to contradict intellect at every turn. I researched and wrote the high school equivalent of a dissertation on the resurrection of Christ, and in so doing discovered the importance of having a personal faith based in reason. And I honed in on my love for writing poetry, decrying the pain of relationships, religion, and human depravity and finiteness, learning the importance of allowing the spirit the freedom to abandon reason and express what only a creative God could understand.

Info
Of the numerous striking qualities of Cupéro, the 19-year-old singer/songwriter and rocker, it’s the commanding presence of her voice and songs that sets her apart. Cupéro sings with a maturity and sense of permanence that belies her youth and the relatively short amount of time that she has been in the New York music scene. On her debut, self-titled EP, she sings with a passion that reveals an unshakable commitment and ambition to be a performer that transcends barriers of music, ethnicity and language.
Raised in Warwick, New York, about 65 miles north of New York City, Cupéro has been singing since she was four years old. Piano lessons began at nine and then guitar at sixteen, which for her, has been the key to unlock everything. She explains, “Since picking up the guitar, everything has fallen into place – it was the right instrument for me to begin writing songs on, and image-wise, I love it. When I’m playing guitar – that’s the essence of who I am.”
Influenced by everything from modern artists like KT Tunstall and a few classic rock artists, Cupéro saves her biggest praise for the Columbian rock artist Juanes, a winner of seventeen Latin Grammys and who has sold over ten million albums. She says, “I really admire his music and his activism, and the fact that he’s bilingual was the inspiration for me to become a bilingual artist.”

About
Puppetbox is an electro indie rock band based in Brooklyn. The band creates an impressive range of songs exploring electro, dance, walls of noise, and harmonious vocals. Their videos redefine the genre of music videos made by bands that want you to take their music seriously but can't stop making fun of themselves.
Puppetbox is a band. They are currently under the radar. In fact, both the radar and the band are unaware of each other. The band plays electro, rock, shoegazer, geek, pop music - and the radar continues to serve as a metaphor for bands that have made lots of money versus those that will forever be "emerging." The band is made up of John Payne(guitar/vox), Katie Johnston(vox/accordion/kazoo), Chris Tempas(synth/programming), and Mark Annotto(drums).
From a hamlet nestled on the corner shores of Brooklyn, Puppetbox has honed its sound to create beguiling pop melodies, but with a distinctive buzzy synth/guitar sound. Following a successful EP, Puppetbox released their eponymous album which expanded their songwriting to include array of styles and genres. The album, Runtime_Error! features songs ranging from hard electro-rock to infectious dance; the album moves relentlessly forward and includes shockingly original instrumentals all mixed seamlessly together into a gapless album.
The band's goal is to make songs that they would love to listen to – and they only listen to music that is awesome.

What’s black and white and can crush you like a bug? A piano. These monsters weigh anywhere from 300 lbs for a small upright, to four or even five times that for a concert grand. So why do artists let them sound so wimpy? KRISTEENYOUNG wants the piano to kick your ass. Their new album, Music for Strippers, Hookers, and the Odd On-Looker, feels like it was born in the boxing ring, not some sun-dappled Laurel Canyon living room.
“I wanted to create a new sound for piano on this album, and for it to be just as powerful and creative as any guitar-based record. I wanted it to sound like a wall of pianos, but like the wall in the film, Caligula: a wall that moves and decapitates everyone,” says Kristeen Young. The singer and composer has played since her childhood in St. Louis, and she knows what the piano is capable of. She sought to recapture the fiery, dangerous noise early rockers like Jerry Lee Lewis and Fats Domino wrought from the instrument’s eighty-eight keys, albeit in a wholly modern way.
Young’s foil in KRISTEENYOUNG is drummer “Baby” Jef White, whose energy and fills bring to mind the great British drummers, but whose groove is undeniably American. Together, the duo has forged a sound full of percussive impact and melodic grandeur.
You think the White Stripes make a big ruckus for a two-piece? Bah! “Stop Thinking” is anchored by low-end tone clusters that pummel like thunder. Yet Music for Strippers… has moments of startling simplicity, too, as on its closer, “Halfway Across the Atlantic Ocean.” “An album should be a spectrum of emotion,” says Young. “Far too often, people just deliver one thing. I try to run the gamut.”

About
With the soothing sound of piano accompanied by a strong voice and an electronica edge, Jennings creates a sound drawn from musicians like Imogen Heap, Annie Lennox, Tori Amos and Moby.
Although her writing began in high school, Jennings’ surge in musical expression started after the sudden death of her mother. “This tragedy rocked me to the core, but there is so much beauty in what it allowed me to do,” she says. “All of my emotions came pouring out in the form of melody.” At the time, her father, a former musician, gave her the option to go through therapy or record an album. He knew both would be equally helpful to her, but by recording her music, she would be able to have something to hold on to and share with others for a lifetime. With “Femtastic” and now "Storybook EP" complete, Jennings has built on the lessons of her life and musical journey and courageously perfected the delicate balance between vulnerability, honesty and grit.
“I believe that the difference between an artist and the average person is a fearless and relentless willingness to expose their quarks, oddities, secrets, and passions for all of the world to see and hear.” Jennings is certainly no exception to the rule. Her voice and words are her ways of expressing happiness, mourning, anxiety, anger, and excitement, allowing her listeners to laugh, cry, and live every one of her emotions. Although she is small in stature, Jennings’ music reflects an enormous strength and drive that is uniquely hers.

After a year of soul-searching, sacrifice, and sweat - NailHead Recording artists Soraia released their latest record, Shed the Skin. This record captures the raw energy and spirit of the late 60's/early 70's. Think Cream, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin - add in a neo-taste and you got it.
All members of Soraia bring to the group a wide array of influences culminating into the unique sound and energy they release: Old, New bluesy, soulful, hard-hitting, ALIVE rock n’ roll. The spirit and tones are familiar, yet the integrity of their music and live performance are extraordinary: five unique personalities sharing passion for a harder, rawer rock sound.
This is a band that is on the road as much as possible, constantly improving upon their live shows and building following. They've found pockets of fans in most college towns, and continue to build on successes through hard work, focus, and passion for what they do. They've spent the last two years playing festivals, touring the Midwest and South, and working closely on songwriting and recording with producer, Obie O'Brien.
In his review of the record, Anthony Kuzminski declares, ”Soraia are not hopping on any bandwagons, they merely check vintage classic rock riffs and find a way to swathe them into a package that is intoxicating and enthralling. There is a profound depth to the lyrics …enhanced by the layered roars of guitars that make you yearn for a time where albums and artists ruled the landscape…. the real star is Mansour’s cooing vocals paired with the elliptical lyrics which combined make Shed the Skin a harrowing, endearing and essential album….”

Info
Tara Simmons grew up on a five acre hobby farm on the flats at the foot of the Blue Mountains, her world bordered by a tapestry woven from captivating, haunting, simple sounds. In her mind, she’s never left.
Little Tara was a solitary lass, but always looking for ways to channel her talent. When she was four, she parroted her brother playing violin to the point where she was sent to lessons of her own. At the age of nine, she nagged her cello-playing mother to be let loose on that instrument as well. And by the time she started high school, she’d had eight different piano teachers – seven of whom were ill-equipped to deal with her short attention span, her intolerance for ‘My Grandfather’s Clock’ and other basic piano pieces, and her roaming mind. All the while, she honed her delicate voice in the Australian Youth Choir’s chamber ensemble.
Every afternoon of her young life, she was taxied to a different lesson determined to follow in the footsteps of those who influenced her.
Throughout her teens, Simmons fiddled after hours with illegal cracks of Logic and Cubase on her home computer, experimenting with electronic beats and found sounds, and blending them with the instruments she’d known all her life. And all the while, she was writing - letting spikes of emotion carry her away to a different realm, from which she always returned with a song. Her questing nature eventually led her to leave home to further her studies of music production.
In 2005, now based in Brisbane, she unleashed her compositions on an unready public from behind a giant hard-drive and screen at a venue in the River City’s Fortitude Valley. So fraught was that performance that she didn’t take the stage again for another year, instead choosing to continually tweak her seven-track debut EP Pendulum. Convinced it wasn’t quite ready to leave the nest, Simmons all but shelved it.

Info
Dreamdate get right to their business of brightening our day with their short, snappy tunes. The overall sound of Dreamdate can readily be spoken of in the same breath as early '90s crushworthy indie pop a la Lois, cub and Tiger Trap. As the unaffected and uneffected electric guitars strum away happily and the drums keep things simple with an uncluttered beat, you might find yourself hummin' along with these gals' warm, smooth female vocals. Nice. Aquarius Records April 2007
Although their tunes are reminiscent of, say, the riot grrl and Seattle/Portland-based garage movements, they still could only exist in present times...Their songs are, for the most part, up-tempo odes to not-so-simple pleasures and guilt and sometimes feel emotionally ambivalent…This is truly the kind of music you'd want on a Walkman when traversing long distances in the suburbs.California Aggie August 2006
The first thing I noticed while listening, is that the sound quality is without many common bells and whistles similar bands tend to overuse. Not really lo-fi but close enough to keep this music out of the pop category and in the garage where it belongs. Milk Milk Lemonade April 2007
Yea-Ming’s jangly guitars bring to mind early rock-and-roll as strongly as they do twee music, and the rhythm section provided by Anna and now-in-Seattle Emily can create a great garage-punk beat as adeptly as they can provide support during a quieter number...The album’s ten tracks cover the gamut of tempos and tones, but the basic elements that make a Dreamdate song–great relationship-examining lyrics, tight instrumentals, and sweet vocal harmonies–are on display in all ten.

Info
Jeannine Hebb, an award-winning songwriter and vocalist, has been studying, performing, writing, and rocking out since she was 11.
At 20, Jeannine graduated magna cum laude from Berklee College of Music, having studied with some of the best in the business (Gabrielle Goodman, Pat Pattison, Livingston Taylor). For two consecutive years, she won both the Berklee Singer/Songwriter and Songwriting Showcase competitions. She was chosen as the recipient of the Frank E. Remick and E. Ione Lockwood awards for excellence in music and vocal performance, and was honored with the Susan Glover Hitchcock scholarship for outstanding musicianship. Upon graduation, Jeannine received the Scott Benson scholarship for performing songwriters - the highest honor in the Berklee songwriting department.
Jeannine has been seen both as a singer and songwriter at many a famous venue in the Northeast including: Scullers, The Ragatta Bar, The Middle East, Harper's Ferry, The Berklee Performance Center, The Bitter End, Rockwood Music Hall, Don Hill's, and Galapagos Art Space, and many more. She's appeared with jazz legends Ben Monder, Clarence Penn, James Genus, and Tim Ries, and has served as an opening act for two-time grammy nominee Tracy Bonham.
Jeannine’s debut EP of original songs, “Too Late to Change Me”, was released in March of 2007, and has received national attention and acclaim. The songs, while roughly categorized as pop/rock, borrow influence from blues, jazz, R&B and soul. Comparisons have been made to Fiona Apple, Laura Nyro, Carole King, and Norah Jones. The EP has been described as “music like we have not heard in many, many years”, and is “truly reminiscent of the styles of foundational, outstanding songwriters.” - Noah Fleischman (WOR NYC radio producer).
The 24 year old’s original compositions and jazz singing projects can be heard on the Boston College Show "The BC", and on many area radio stations, including Boston's famed WGBH. Jeannine has appeared as a frequent guest on New York television and radio - as a performer on the Joey Reynold’s Show (a long-running hit talk show on New York’s WOR) , and “Metro Elvis” (a weekly Manhattan program featuring up-and-coming artists).
In 2008, a video of Hebb's song “Just Enough for Me”, was picked to appear as a sample video on the newest line of video/mp3 players released by Coby Electonics. Last October, her EP was featured on the cover of Discmakers - the nation's leading provider of CD duplication and manufacturing services.

Reuben, dúradh liom

Reuben, dúradh liom
tú a díol tine leis an diabhal
Ag líonadh chuile poll
é ag fás, ag fás
chuile uair a chloisim thú
Scaoilim glam amach sa dorchadas
Tuilleadh glam le scaoileadh, is ní cloisim uait ach faic rais
ay ay ah-ooh
níl uait ach faic rais
Reuben chonacthas thú
An ghrian a lonradh amach uait
marcaíocht ar an leas
deirtear liom, deirtear liom
Faoid thionchar tá mé réidh
beidh me socair nois don mhuirnin
socair ná bíodh olc ann
coimead do ghnósa faoi rún
chuile uair a chloisim thú
Scaoilim glam amach sa dorchadas
Tuilleadh glam le scaoil, is ní cloisim uait ach faic rais

Bio
Seduction comes in many forms. Those who can seduce with style make it seem effortless, unintentional, irresistible. Robin Stine's music seduces with a whiff of subtle perfume and a casual graze of her hand as she walks past, leaving the listener powerless to do anything but follow. As a singer, her voice floats on the stylish edge of contemporary cool—light, but never lightweight. As a songwriter, her enchanting originals set her in the upper echelon of today's songwriters.
Born and raised in Kansas City, Robin began her musical journey as a child singing in school groups and church choirs. When she left for college she had no idea that music would take her around the world. For three of her collegiate years she performed with gospel groups, traveling across the U.S. as well as in Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Hong Kong and China. She then moved to Miami in 1996 to begin her graduate studies. During this time she performed with “Mike Suman’s Swing City” and her own band “Simply Stellar” at festivals, hotels and clubs throughout South Florida. In 2003 she moved to Pensacola to focus on the next phase of her musical career—writing and recording her original music.
Her debut album Daydream is a sleek collection of a dozen original jazzy, bluesy numbers that immediately sound like comfortable standards. The melancholy title track “Daydream”, the only co-write on the album, was written with Chris Whiteman at the University of Miami. The album's other originals were written over a six-month period while Robin rebuilt her home in the wake of Hurricane Ivan. “These songs are very personal. They were gifts from ‘the muses’ of genuine emotion, faith and hope—and they’re my gift to the world.”

Best known for the inspiration behind the hit song, “Killing Me Softly”, Lori Lieberman has just released her newest CD, “Gun Metal Sky” which marks her thirteenth recording.
You see it in the distance
It was always in your mind
And it beckons like a beacon
Through the bitter taste of night
And you want to travel to it
But the madness keeps you blind
He says he needs you…
Lori Lieberman has remained in the spotlight since the early seventies, quietly gleaning the respect of an industry and a devoted base of fans. As the one responsible for such hits as "Killing Me Softly With His Song" she consistently recorded album after album for Capitol Records, RCA, EMI, Pope Music, and currently, Drive On Records.
Throughout the years of ever-changing styles and fads, one thing has remained constant in Lieberman's music-- her honest and heartfelt lyrics, coupled with her haunting, and beautiful melodies, always cutting right through to the heart of the listener.
Born in California, but raised in Switzerland, Lieberman felt the isolation and loneliness of growing up a foreigner early on, and as a young girl, turned to her writing as a form of connection, expressing her feelings in journals and in songs. One of three sisters, and the daughter of a chemical engineer and a homemaker, Lori Lieberman’s earliest influences came through her older sister, Susan, who, from her college in Maine, sent Lieberman her greatest and most life-changing gift of all, then current music from the states: Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Leonard Cohen, Jefferson Airplane and Tom Rush. Their music and sensibilities inspired her writing even more.

Bio
The Blow is Khaela Maricich and Jona Bechtolt.
Khaela Maricich is a pop musician, visual artist, and performer. She works in the cracks between pop music and performance art, bouncing between the genres to suck out the juicier parts of either world. She creates operatic performance pieces using the conversational style of popular music. She has toured the United States extensively performing her monologue based solo opera, "Blue Sky versus Night Sky", as well as giving traditional concerts of dance-party music with her band, The Blow. Under the banner of The Blow, (currently with bandmate Jona Bechtolt), Maricich has released five albums of music, crossing styles from folk to elecronic radio style hits. She has held a number of exhibitions of drawings and illuminated paper sculptures in Seattle, Olympia, and Portland. A native of Queen Anne Hill, Maricich spent an incubative decade in Olympia, but recently moved from her cosy home there to Portland, in order to be the artist in residence at the Portland Institute of Contemporary Art. Her goings-on can be read about on her blog, at WWW.THETOUCHMEFEELING.COM.
Jona Bechtolt is a technological multi talent. His sound and video production can be found generously scattered throughout the internet, and in numerous popular live incarnations. With his project, YACHT, he makes textural dance-based compositions and performances, described by some as a "positive energy rainbow dome music from a next-generation west coast healer." He documents its movement via video, text, and images on his deeply archival and well-maintained blog, www.teamyacht.com. Currently, he is one half of The Blow, a constantly recording and touring pop mammoth music duo. In 2003, he was commissioned to create a full length audio/visual electronic pop opera by The Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA), which he performed with his bandmate M. Ritchey. In 2005, he co-created, filmed, directed and edited an internet based reality show, The Ultimate Blogger, on which bloggers from around the world competed to win the illustrious title. The sequel, The Ultimate Blogger 2, is currently in production and is sweeping the nation once again. In January of 2006 he was commissioned for two performances for the New York based art and technology platform, Rhizome.org, as part of their "Crap-tops vs Laptops" show in New York. In February of 2006 he performed at MoMA's PS1 and produced an hour-long internet radio program with Clear Cut Press; a northwest-based publisher of new literary work. He has toured the United States and Canada extensively with his own projects, as well as a number of other bands. Most recently he played drums on Devendra Banhart's European festival tour, to audiences numbering in the tens of thousands.

Artist Bio
Sussie Nielsen was born in Copenhagen in 1975. In her early teenage years, Sussie became a fan of the music of Clannad. She had, at that time, no particular ambition as far as music was concerned, being mainly interested in the body and physical therapy; an interest which led to a qualification as physical education teacher and masseuse. Returning from her first trip to Ireland, Sussie brought home a heap of music, and began to sing and to play the bodhrán.
A steadily growing interest in the music, including sean-nós ( old style ) singing and gaelic song, led Sussie back to Ireland. In 2002, she started at the Irish World Music Centre, University of Limerick, where she took an M.A. in Irish Traditional Music Performance under the direction of Professor Michéal Ó Súilleabhain. Her teachers included many fine singers, among these being Padraigín Ní Uallacháin, Iarla Ó Lionáird, Karan Casey and Len Graham.
She has received excellent reviews and several nomination for the Danish Music Awards 2004 and 2005.
Clear as glass and glowing
The many excellent musicians have, as I have mentioned, their part in the credit for this, in every way, successful cd. And luckily they´ve received more space in the liner notes than studio musicians often get on ”solo” records. Nikolaj Busk, piano and accordeon, has alrady been mentioned. The others are: Helen Davies, harp. Alan Colfer, guitar. Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, violin , tin whistle. Peter G. Sørensen, violin. Bjarne Schmidt, bouzouki. Niklas Roswall, nyckelharpa and its predecessor the moraharpa. Soma Alpass, cello. They provide music which vibrates, glowing and clear as glass, in beautiful harmony with Sussie Nielsen´s simultaneously crisp and authoritatively strong and intense voice.

Info
Ethereal is The One Woman Army. Using her pen as a sword, she cuts through the walls she erected on her debut album, Mythillogical and lays bare her soul on her upcoming EP, Albatross. Simultaneously taking on the demons from an abusive childhood and speaking loud and clear about the state of the world today, Ethereal expertly blends her two foremost passions in songs like, Baby Blue and This is Rome. With deep, sensual vocals reminiscent of a reincarnated Nico and a modern day Annie Lennox, Ethereal sings with a beautiful combination of catharsis and renewal. Part vigilante, part fallen angel, Ethereal takes you on a journey through light and dark, discovering that there is truth not in one or the other, but in between. Like a present day Ancient Mariner, sword replacing sail, she wears her albatross proudly; telling a tale youll never tire of hearing.

Info
Hailing from Paris, France, and growing up in a small village of the French Alps, Clara Bellino blends heartfelt rhythms, magical lyrics, and unimaginable emotions into a rare mixture of solid American songs with an unfettered sense of humor and a European sense of what is amusing. Americans probably remain puzzled by her songs in French, but are still moved by the rhythms and the performance. Her English songs are instantly understandable and the range between Europop and American Music is beguiling. All you have to do is listen to “Potential Criminal” or “Goodnight Baby” and you won’t get these beautifully produced songs out of
your head.
There is no single word that describes her songs. It’s a mixture of thoroughly requited love and, at odd times, real aggression, but with a sense of humor that never fades. Critic Bruce Bellingham compares her work to that of Faithful, Blondie’s Debby Harry and Nico before her involvement with The Velvet Underground.
Clara grew up in a household where she was saturated in the essence of instrumentation and true musicianship. As a solidified Jazz fan, Clara's father exposed her to the musical artistry of such industry Legends who include Zappa, The Beatles, Mahalia Jackson, Bob Dylan, Fats Waller and Miles Davis. These experiences inspired Clara to pursue what would become her life's passion. She completed a ten year French Conservatory program covering Music Theory, Harmony, Piano and Tenor Recorder and is also an
accomplished guitarist.

About
We don't play pop music, we don't write music for art's sake, we don't represent any movements, we're not hip, we're not cutting edge, we don't dress to be cool. We do manage ourselves, we write our own songs, we do our own recordings, we shoot our own videos, we design our own covers, we made our own website. We're not generally negative people - oh yes, and we're not lefthanded.
We like our name because it doesn't say anything about who we are or what we do, we like to give our music a chance to do that. That said, we would liken ourselves (if we have to) to a darker Rilo Kiley, a rockier Death Cab for Cutie, a girlier We Are Scientists, a wordier Jimmy Eat World. Other people have likened us to Mazzy Starr, The Cardigans, The Postal Service, 10,000 Maniacs, jj72 - so if you shake all that up you might get some kind of idea.
We like to sing (except Benji who will only sing on his own, in a car). We like to get loud when we can (Tubescreamers are good!). We only play music that makes us feel something, in our gut. We like music that's honest. We're mostly Irish, partly Cornish (not corny!). We live in London. We really like playing music, everywhere we can

Info
Christelle’s voice is an unstoppable force that perfectly fits this incredibly determined young woman. The Las Vegas based, nineteen-year-old Pop/R&B artist has taken on countless challenges in her young life and career, and has successfully met every single one. Her hot new songs herald the arrival of this very special young artist, who lets nothing and no one get in her way.
Born in Gabon, West Africa, Christelle grew up listening to French, African and American music, but the music that struck a chord in her was the American R&B and Hip-Hop of artists like Beyonce, Ashanti, Brandy, Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Mariah Carey. As Christelle recalls, “Even though I couldn’t understand the lyrics back then, no other music made me feel as good.”
Determined to make a better life for herself, Christelle immigrated to America in 2006, initially with the goal of becoming a dental hygienist. Settling in Las Vegas, she immediately faced an enormous challenge – the language barrier. She explains, “It was a very difficult transition. It was horrible to not be able to communicate with people. I gained a tremendous amount of respect for the millions of immigrants that make up so much of America.”

Artist Bio
There is something mesmerizing and indisputable about things in life that come together by the mystery of fate – be it a personal relationship, an artistic endeavor, or a simple matter of being in the right place at the right time. When all three converge, the result is something that goes beyond any realm of possibility …
Such is the story of Los Angeles music duo BITTER:SWEET (Shana Halligan and Kiran Shahani) whose lives seemed to have over-lapped but never crossed until the perfect moment in time. How else can you explain two people who lived one block away from each other, and who recorded just one wall away, who never connected until an anonymous online posting?
When Kiran (producer, composer) and Shana (vocals, melodies, lyrics, co-producer) met, they were both “not that into” the L.A. music scene. “There was a time when I had even stopped listening to music,” explains Shana. “But sometimes you’re just meant to do things in life...”
As a Southern California native, Shana had just returned home from “having a beautiful experience” in Europe when she decided to answer her first-ever ad for a singer. Not only was it an ad, it was on Craig’s List! The accomplished musician had grown up with music in her blood – her father is eight-time Grammy Award winning composer Dick Halligan of Blood, Sweat & Tears – and she had started her singing career at age seven by performing in films and television commercials. Later on, she performed live throughout the United States and Europe in addition to composing music for television shows and soundtracks (most recently she is featured on the Buckethead album singing a duet with Serj Tankian of System Of A Down).

Chrissy's seasoned voice coupled with her warm personality are an unstoppable combination. She calls to mind Sheryl Crow and Natalie Merchant with tinges of Rickie Lee Jones and Lucinda Williams.
And 2008 has been a good year for this New York City based singer-songwriter. The winter was full of excitement moving to and 'officially' becoming a 'New Yorker', the spring delight of releasing her new CD, Look Ahead, and the summer and fall have been chock full of performances to support her new release.
Raised in numerous places including Detroit, Kansas City, and Washington DC, Chrissy is no stranger to moving around and making things work for her. Her ease with meeting people from all different walks of life through her travels throughout the country and the world has afforded her the ability to translate those experiences into intensely thoughtful songs.
Chrissy didn't start off a singer-songwriter. In fact, it was only after a post college career in the environmental field, when she allowed herself the time to sit down and to develop her craft. Music has always been in her blood as an accomplished flutist and singer but songwriting was new. And she was more than ready for the challenge.

ASTRONAUTS OF ANTIQUITY Marrying the vibey, seductively ethereal textures of lounge, dub and trance with the timeless verities of great pop and rock songwriting, Astronauts of Antiquity have bridged various musical worlds to create a realm all their own. And while their journey has taken them around the globe, on their new album, Rocket Science For Dummies, they have brought it all back home, delivering an album that is seamless and mesmerizing, reflecting a unified expression of their musical vision. Their music has been called everything from “urban-electro-organica,” to a “jazzy, neo-soulful, electronic exploration,” but more than any genre, what defines Astronauts of Antiquity is the musical and life partnership of India on vocals and B. Rhyan on guitars. The two first ran into each other – literally – at the airport, while India was rushing to make a flight. Three years later, the two once again encountered at one of India’s performances in Milwaukee. Backstage after her show, B. Rhyan was instantly captivated by India and sensed something more than simply a kindred spirit – he saw the possibility of a music and soul partner.

Info
Leanne Bugat, or otherwise known as Lee, was born in Melbourne, Australia, into a musical family with her father being known as Australia’s Roy Orbison back in the 50’s & 60’s. It comes as no surprise that Leanne was born with music in her veins.
During the last 20 years or so, live performances have been a big part of Leanne's life. She began by learning to play the clarinet, saxophone and then taught herself to play the guitar. This combination of instruments allowed Leanne to perform in school productions. There are many venues that Lee has performed in such as pubs, clubs, community events, festivals, parties, weddings, choirs and she has also been know to have busked.
At the age of 18 Leanne and her sister were chosen to do backing vocals for Diana Trasks' national Australian tour. Unfortunately due to circumstances out of Leanne’s control the tour was cancelled. This would have been a great jump start for Leanne’s career but was not forthcoming.

WENDY AND LISA’S WHITE FLAGS OF WINTER CHIMNEYS OUT NOW
Los Angeles, CA - Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, better known as the legendary duo Wendy and Lisa, have released their new album, White Flags of Winter Chimneys. It is available exclusively on their web site wendyandlisa.com (with unreleased bonus tracks), to be followed with CD and Limited Edition vinyl releases, as well as being made available at iTunes, Amazon MP3, and other digital music stores in March 2009.
White Flags of Winter Chimneys is Wendy and Lisa’s first album since 1998’s Girl Bros. Self-produced and self-released by the duo, the album is a gorgeous kaleidoscope of song-compositions with influences ranging from trance to electronica to 70’s funk and straight up rock and roll.
The renowned fine artist and graphic designer Rex Ray, whose artwork has adorned albums by David Bowie, Diamanda Galas, Deee-Lite and many others, designed the album packaging. Additionally, the packaging of the CD will be a 6-panel Digipak comprised of recycled board, printed using non-toxic vegetable based ink, and a FlexTray made from 100% post-consumer plastic (recycled soda bottles).
Wendy and Lisa are also continuing in their successful television-scoring career. Currently, they are in their third season of scoring the NBC-TV hit “Heroes,” and they are taking on the scoring duties for the upcoming “Virtuality” on Fox and “Nurse Jackie” on Showtime. They have received the prestigious ASCAP award for Composer’s of the Year for their work on Dangerous Minds, the theme to HBO’s Carnivale, Crossing Jordan and Heroes.
Wendy and Lisa first burst upon the consciousness of the music world in the early 80’s as part of Prince’s Revolution, where the two were Prince’s most trusted collaborators and partners for what arguably was the most seismic chapter of the legend’s career. Striking out on their own in 1986, they have released four well-regarded albums: Wendy and Lisa (1987), Fruit at the Bottom (1989), Eroica (1990), and Girl Bros. (1998).

Info
Discovered while singing in the New York City subway by Producer Jamie Propp of As Is Entertainment, and recorded over three years with Adam Chalk, Propp recalls the first time he heard Manze singing. “Within one song she transported me through the entire range of emotions. I will never forget that song.” That song was Dayila’s original “Solé,” now the a cappella title track of her debut CD.
Manze performs with her band the Nago Nation, including guitarist Alexis Monvelyno (RAM), percussion/vocalist Evens “Zilibo” Seney & Jakobo, rapper Bennchoumy Elian, bassist Andy Galore and drummer Peter Barr. Her debut CD “Solé” features her beautifully crafted pop songs in english (“That Feeling” & “ I Want To Be Free”), arrangements of the Vodou (‘racine’) songs, sung in Kreyol, which she learned from her ancestors, and electronic remixes of roots music that clearly establish Manze Dayila as the “Empress of Vodou Music.”

Kelly Richey Bio
“Stevie Ray Vaughn trapped in a woman's body with Janis Joplin screaming to get out.” This is how one critic describes Kelly Richey, a blues-based rock virtuoso. Buoyed by critical praise and fiercely loyal fans, The Kelly Richey Band tours extensively bringing their electric live experience to venues throughout the US, Canada, and Europe. The attention centers around this Kentucky native’s guitar playing; Richey’s proficiency has earned her comparisons to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan while gaining her a place on stage with blues legends, Albert King and Lonnie Mack. Richey has opened for artists such as James Brown, Johnny and Edgar Winter, and Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown. As one journalist put it, “Imagine a cross between Bonnie Raitt and Ruth Brown and you’ve only begun to get the picture.”
Built on unforgettable and explosive live performances, the Kelly Richey Band has developed an almost cult-like following, with fans picking up thousands of the band’s previous releases, most notably, Eyes Of a Woman, Sending Me Angels, and the electrifying DVD, Kelly Richey Live. Since establishing her own label, Sweet Lucy Records, Richey has released ten CDs, as both a solo artist and with her band. The label has secured national and international distribution through traditional channels and embraced internet digital distribution since the beginning of it’s availability to independent artists.

Miranda Vettrus grew up in an amusement park, makes horror movies with her younger sister, Mariah and writes Go Go's inspired songs at 3 in the morning. By the age of 5, Miranda had already jumped off a 100 foot crane thrill-ride dubbed the Sky-coaster dozens of times. She's written dozens of songs and continues to grow her catalog by the day.
Her spark for singing was ignited at the mature age of three, when she was brought up on stage at church to sing with her mother. She never looked back, and for the next six years, sang and played piano at church, performed at fairs and festivals included her family's amusement park, and sang with the Willamette Girlchoir, an all-girl choir based in Salem, Oregon. “I first saw Miranda perform with the Girlchoir, and I was blown away by the pipes on this little girl,” said music producer Jason Carter. “She stood out like a shining star.”
Two years later, Carter saw her performing solo at a Salem festival, and asked her parents if they’d like to bring her into the studio. The minute she stepped into the vocal booth, Miranda said, “I felt right at home." The two started production on her first demo.

Raised in a music-friendly home — growing up with piano lessons and a public address system in the living room to practice Patsy Cline on - Shedd found punk rock as a teen and morphed into a singer-songwriter wrestling with a love of distortion. Also a fan of artists that drape their vocals in various shrouds (My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, The Jesus & Mary Chain), Shedd decided that she never really wanted her vocals up front, an edict that permeated her previous recordings. Now, with Cigarettes & Smoke Machines, Shedd lets go and we benefit from vocal performances that establish the arresting emotional core of her latest record.

Their acclaimed debut CD "Metaphysical Attraction" has gained them rave reviews from all over the world and has given Belladonna true cult status. Its songs have been added to the playlists of over 200 radios worldwide, magazines like Rolling Stone, Glamour, GQ and NME have hailed Belladonna as the "next big thing", and even Wikipedia has devoted a page to the bandand to Rock Noir, the musical genre that they have single-handedly originated.
Two songs out of their debut CD, “Black Swan” and “Foreverland”, have even received the incredible honor (unprecedented for an unsigned band!) of being included in the Grammy Awards 2008 Ballot, in the categories Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals and Best Rock Song.

ODi's story began when she uploaded some home recordings to My Space. People here, there and everywhere began to listen to her songs, loved what they heard and asked when her next gig was.
Inspired by this and armed with a beautiful, raw, voice, a cheap guitar, won on ebay, and her heart on her sleeve, ODi headed down to her local venue to blag her first gig. Her story has grown from there ….
…Two years on, ODi was invited to support Seth Lakeman at the Beverley Folk Festival. Along the way, the hard working Wexford woman has played over 200 gigs across the UK, Ireland and Germany. Released 2 well received singles "Crawl" and "What You Deserve" whilst developing an ever growing fanbase. She’s also managed to trade in the cheap guitar for a better one!
Her captivating voice and well crafted songs have already been likened to those of Suzanne Vega and Natalie Merchant. The musical landscapes on her recordings hinting towards a female version of Damien Rice, with a touch of PJ Harvey thrown in for good measure.
October sees ODi bring her new EP “A Superman” to the UK. The 5 Tracker features production input from Ken McHugh aka Autamata, (Juno Falls, David Kitt) and Karl Odlum (Fionn Regan , The Frames, Gemma Hayes)
Released in Ireland during summer 2008 The title track received national and regional airplay across the Emerald isle including a feature as ‘download of the day’ on The Tony Fenton’s Today FM show. The EP also brought praise from Irish publications including Hot Press and the Galway Advertiser amongst others.
ODi comes off the back of a 30 date Irish tour and heads to the UK for dates in September to promote the release of “A Superman”
She then enters the studio in late 2008 to record her debut album, due for release in summer 2009.

Tina! Janis! Aretha! Doña? That's right! There's a new one-name wonder in town! Also known as "The Boogie Woogie Woman" for her two fisted piano playing, Doña Oxford is fronting one of the hottest Rock & Roll bands of the 21st century! The word is out that when Doña sings, her vocal cool gets her audience all heated up!! It's all attitude, sultry good looks and a down and dirty beat that makes it happen when Doña (pronounced doan-ya) hits the stage!
Of English, Dutch, and German descent, Doña is the offspring of a trumpet playing Episcopal Priest father and a cabaret singer mom (her best pal). Born on June 2, this Gemini is a seasoned performer. She started playing piano at age five, on a one octave toy piano. She took lessons at school without her parents knowledge. By age 6 it was apparent that Doña was serious. Her mother bought her an upright Baldwin piano - her first real piano, and by 7 she was giving concerts at school.
Along the way, Doña took center stage with another talent - singing. Doña strengthened her pipes and learned her stage savvy with years of theatrical work; both regionally and Off-Broadway. With her theatrical interest, she went to New York City to study Drama at NYU, Tisch School of the Arts. But it was her lust for Blues and Rock & Roll that inspired Doña to leave the theater business and set out for the New York Nightclub Scene!

MARCIA BALL – PEACE LOVE & BBQ A sensational, saucy singer and superb pianist...where Texas stomp-rock and Louisiana blues-swamp meet --USA Today “An irresistible, celebratory blend of rollicking, two-fisted New Orleans piano, Louisiana Swamp rock and smoldering Texas blues from a compelling storyteller.” --Boston Globe The simple mention of a Louisiana or Texas roadhouse conjures up images of a crowded dancehall filled wall-to-wall with rabid music fans rocking to a hotter-than-hot band playing a smoldering blend of swampy R&B, jumping blues and heart-wrenching ballads. Pianist/vocalist/songwriter Marcia Ball brings that spirit to every concert she plays and every song she records. Her music is mixed with equal parts simmering soul fervor and two-fisted piano pounding. Between her deeply emotive vocals and her incisive, often poignant songwriting, Ball is in a class by herself. Her groove-laden New Orleans R&B and driving Gulf Coast blues have made her a one-of-a-kind favorite of music fans all over the world. The Boston Herald says, “Piano pounding Marcia Ball plays masterful, red hot tracks from the Texas-Louisiana border. Her voice can break your heart with a ballad or break your back with a rocker.”

She recently recorded her long awaited follow-up EP "Last One Standing" which she co-produced. A five song collection, "Last One Standing" contains more mature lyrics and is creatively produced. Influences include The Beatles, Janis Joplin, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Pat Benatar, Jewel, Fiona Apple, Sheryl Crow, and Michelle Branch.
"Justina's got the talent and the heart to go to the top. This apparent ingenue has recently released "Break of Day", a startlingly mature sample of her virtuosity." -Cafe Improv
"Just a week after releasing her first 5-song EP titled "Break of Day", it has been receiving rave reviews. There is a definite buzz accompanying this release, so come out and catch a rising star!" -The Indigo Coffeehouse
"Justina is a phenomenal talent, since her debut performance here, we knew we had witnessed something special. She has wonderful lyrics that she transforms into great harmonious songs. Justina has the making of star; we consider her as one of the sensational artists who is 'under the radar'." -Espresso Joe's
"Justina has pipes and attitude. She rocks some nice back rhythm on acoustic guitar when the band is in full swing, and is on target in the stripped down guitar and vocal moments. Good dynamics, focused band...if there were ever any doubts as to her ability to rock, they have been put to rest!" -Rob Jones, The Court Tav

Darcy Fray has a flair for the dramatic. From seductive synth-beated rhythms, to somber guitar-soaked vistas, Fray provides a intoxicating update on atmospheric, UK-style space-pop that continues to make believers of the curious. Beginning in 2002 in the very un-UK surroundings of a Los Angeles bedroom, Fray got off to a promising start with the self-release of the "Speak and Spell EP" which was welcomed as a blast of freezer air, cool crisp and bracingly refreshing...ice-queen voice...brittle drum-machine backing and occasional bouts of brutal shoe-gazing guitar (Jennifer Kelly - Splendid Magazine).
Reviews: The Big Takeover, Issue . 55 (Fall 2004) DARCY FRAY
THE FIREBALL EP
by Marcel Feldmar
Fireball is, as the title suggests, high energy pop rock keyboard mayhem, but with very sweet hooks and a very guitar oriented swing into pop, It slightly reminds me of "Third Eye" by Red Kross, but that's just the first song. The second drifts into a more mellow Pink Floyd feel, but sparser and more on that indie rock tip. There's hints of a devil may care glam attitude, too: "Throw on the wigs and make-up and let's just rock", comes out sometimes, and the harmonies are beautiful. It feels like five songs aren't enough to figure this one out, though I'm going to definitely keep trying.

Info
If AC/DC and Joan Jett were to have a child, and allow Van Halen, Motley Crue and Metallica to babsysit frequently, the result would be "Vision".
Vision’s sound is influenced by classic and 80’s rock/blues rock, with a touch of modern rock mixed in. Having a female front the bad gives a nice twist to the traditional feel. The band prides themselves on thoughtful, melodic lyrics layered over hard driving rhythms.
Vision was formed by David Vignola (guitar) and Juliette "Jules" Vignola (bass, vocals) in 2006. While they looked for band members they began writing the early songs which would eventually go on the first CD. After several lineup and name changes, the current lineup including Joe Johnston (keys, guitar), Diane Calano (drums) and Michelle Privée (lead vocals) was completed around February 2008. Once the band was assembled, they started recording immediately, completing their first CD "No Regrets" in May 2008. Vision has since hit the road playing local gigs in the Connecticut area and building a strong fan base.
"No Regrets" is more than an album, it's a philosophy embraced by all members of Vision. Through good times and bad, we know that our experiences made us who we are, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, and looking back, we have NO REGRETS!

Info
Pigeonhole Carrie Rodriguez at your peril. Sure, she’s done a lot of duets. She plays a fiddle. (a mean one at that.) She’s recorded songs with a pleasing, folksy twang.
But don’t think you know what you’re getting. Not yet 30, and with a critically-acclaimed solo record and several well-received duet records in her wake, the classically trained singer/songwriter has just begun flexing her artistic muscles, still figuring out how far her talents will take her. If you’re looking for someone playing it safe and sticking to tried-and-true ways of music making, as the title of Rodriguez’s daring new album aptly states, SHE AIN’T ME.
“Because I took some chances, wrote with some new people and actually co-wrote most of the songs on the album, it’s very different,” Rodriguez notes.
Also different: Malcolm Burn’s dense production, bulging with thoughtful details, yet always serving the song. “If the song doesn’t hold up on its own, without all the production, he doesn’t want to have anything to do with it,” Rodriguez says. “And he was much more into the vibe than perfection—which is good for me, because my tendency is to try to make things perfect.”

Info
On her debut album, The Inner Revolution, songstress Kira Fontana triumphs in embracing an emotional rawness without fear, while also exploring a soul-searching mysticism that’s undaunted in recognizing life’s ever-changing moves. Like Sinéad O’Connor and Tori Amos before her, the San Francisco Bay Area-born artist approaches such a task with unshakable power. Welcome to The Inner Revolution.
“For me, [The Inner Revolution] is about getting back to the truth of who you are and coming full circle in life,” Fontana says. “It’s about really trusting that inner core above anything outside.”
For Fontana, finding that place where your creative desires become a tangible realization started as early as five-years-old, when she learned to play the piano by ear. Before she reached her teens, she was writing pop songs and classical piano instrumentals. She soon developed an insatiable appetite for all kinds of music, everything from alternative rock to Javanese gamelan, and explored the works of chamber music enthusiast Igor Stravinsky, and minimalist composers Steve Reich and Arvo Pärt.

Joséphine left the romantic streets of Paris at the age of 17 to pursue her music in the bilingual city of Montreal, Canada. The couple of years she spent there were a stepping-stone for her transition from teenager to adult and from dreamer to artist. She was then ready to move to the city that she had always viewed as the music capital of the world: New York.
Joséphine left the romantic streets of Paris at the age of 17 to pursue her music in the bilingual city of Montreal, Canada. The couple of years she spent there were a stepping-stone for her transition from teenager to adult and from dreamer to artist. She was then ready to move to the city that she had always viewed as the music capital of the world: New York.
Montréal gave Joséphine her first stage experiences and introduced her to a whole new world of music. She joined The People’s Gospel Choir of Montréal and was a part of their Vibe Award winning album. She has also recorded songs for film and a television commercial in France.
As soon as Joséphine arrived in New York, she knew that she was in the right place and quickly found her way in the local New York music scene. She co-wrote and recorded her first album, Unfinished Life, with singer/songwriter Craig Wilson. In the meantime, she has been playing her songs around New York in venues such as The Bitter End, Crash Mansion, and R&R.
Joséphine is an obvious romantic and sings with sweetness and hope although a certain melancholy and awareness of life’s pains and difficulties show her sensitivity in most of her songs. They have been described as “Sweetly sung, counting up regrets such as in the standout, Right Here.”
Unfinished Life is an honest representation of who she is, with a persisting little French accent...

When people ask Tanya 'What do you do?', she says 'I'm a poet'. This gets a wide variety of responses, but mostly just 'oh'. She also says 'I'm a musician', which leads to such inevitable questions as 'What kind of music do you play?'. That's where things get hard to explain...
She writes songs in the loosely-defined alt-folk category, although also has tendencies towards well-arranged pop music and genres that get people dancing. Songs of love, life, work, and art. Songs with refreshingly candid lyrics, poetic and exposing. She's a relative newcomer on the Atlantic music scene, although she's been performing for years; that's where the 'poet' part comes in.
Writing and performing spoken word style poetry since 2000, Tanya's performed up and down the west coast and throughout the Maritimes. She placed first in the PEI portion of the 2005 CBC Poetry Faceoff and went on to place 3rd in the country. Of her poetry people say, 'engaging, unique, accessible and yet interesting use of language'; of her delivery they say, 'rhythmic, with great cadence and good timing'; of her presence as a performer they say 'genuine and magnetic.'

Cecilia Villar Eljuri was born in Ecuador and is the daughter of legendary radio, theatre and television pioneer Paco Villar and composer Olga Eljuri de Villar. In the creation of "En Paz," Cecilia tapped into her parents’ artistic legacy and Ecuadorian background by traveling to her homeland during the writing stage, greatly impacting the direction of the album. What unfolds on "En Paz" are songs versed in rock rhythms and hook-driven melodies, complimented by confident lyrics. On "Sombra Negra," Eljuri delivers sultry vocals on the cusp of urgency backed by growling guitar licks. "Una Ola," one of the first tracks written for the album, reflects upon a dear friend and memories of him. Eljuri describes the powers of the ocean and how a single wave can sweep you away into bliss.

"With a girl like me, you know you won't get bored," sings KJ Denhert on the title track of her CD, Girl Like Me. Those who have experienced KJ live would certainly agree. Her sense of joy onstage is infectious, bringing honesty and charisma to her talents as a songwriter, singer and guitarist. As an experienced bandleader, she plays without a net, always taking you on a fun ride. KJ has taken the rhythm, wit and passion of her performances, and wrapped them up in lush arrangements and sparkling production to create her signature CD Girl Like Me. Two notable releases, The Songwriters Notebook and Another Year Gone By, Live followed on her independent label Mother Cyclone Records.
KJ calls her music Urban Folk and Jazz, though it is rooted in Funk and R & B. "The jazz," she explains, "comes from people's perceptions of my guitar voicing and the structure of the tunes themselves-using extended solos and players working off of each other. Urban reflects my childhood, growing up in NYC, and folk, I really adored James Taylor, my first guitar influence." Her lyrics tread the familiar grounds of romance, hope and despair, but in uniquely inspiring ways, as in Little Mary "Little Mary don't you be afraid there are a million of us feeling this way."

Info
Up-and-coming popular singer Lin McEwan recently premiered her first two music videos before a packed crowd of cheering fans and friends at Manhattan’s Zipper Factory. The show also celebrated the release of the digital-only Now I Know EP, the follow-up to her self-titled debut album. The EP is the first release entirely composed of songs written by Lin and co-writer Mike Pettry.
Both the videos and the EP mark a big change for a girl who spent her youth being told that she couldn’t sing because her voice was too low. "My voice was so strange for my age," she recalls, "that when I was in the eighth grade, I had to play Santa Claus because the boys voices hadn't changed yet, and I was the only one who could do a convincing, ‘Ho, ho, ho.’"
It wasn't until she was 16 that she stepped onto the stage of her high school's gala gospel concert to give her first ever solo performance, a rousing blues take of "Amazing Grace," for which she received a thunderous three-minute standing ovation.
Since arriving in New York, the Baltimore-native has been “gaining notice for her uncommonly deep voice” and for her “soulfully sung and well-written material”—a funky fusion of soul and pop… like Tina Turner or Mavis Staples singing over Keane (The Baltimore Sun; JustSoul). Along with her talented group of regular players, who’ve backed everyone from Jesse Malin to Gavin DeGraw, she’s appeared at such landmark establishments as CBGB's and the Bitter End, as well as the Living Room, the Rockwood Music Hall, the Cutting Room, Crash Mansion, and Arlene's Grocery. But she still considers Baltimore home and takes the band back as often as possible.
Lin is a proud member of ASCAP and the NAPM.

This spring she announces the release of a new book and album within months of each other. Crowded Skies: Letters to Manhattan is the follow-up to her first book, Here’s to Hindsight: Letters to My Former Self (RELEVANT), a spiritual memoir which prompted reviewers to hail her as “the female Donald Miller.” This summer, she released her sixth album, Playing Favorites.
TLC’s albums feature many of her friends and influences: Matt Wertz, Dave Barnes, Brandon Heath, Josh Wilson, Kemper Crabb, and members of Caedmon’s Call. As if that weren’t enough, the trifecta of noteworthy magazines for 20- and 30-somethings, RELEVANT, RELEVANT Leader, and Radiant regularly feature her articles.

Info
When UK music journalists loudly christened the “Neu-Rave” genre this past summer, with magazines like iD and NME putting Dandi Wind squarely at the forefront, we could hardly wait for the movement to surface, just like “Olde-Rave,” on North America’s cultural radar, in about a half-decade or so. The rumored scattershot resurgence of glowsticks in non-rave settings gave us slight encouragement for a quicker turnaround, but, ever since the recent death of society, this seemed no less tenuous and shallow than an ironic reclamation of Pogs. So, is Neu-Rave a movement with legs? Or just indie-rock with tacked-on “whooshy siren ravey noises” cynically appropriating yet another newly-minted nostalgic era? It doesn’t matter, because Dandi Wind is much more than a tripster buzz-genre could ever define, sincerely or not.
Much has been made of the Dandi Wind live experience, whose legend has been growing with every show. The sheer wall-climbing, feral physicality of Dandi’s stage performance, in lockstep with keyboardist/programmer Szam’s (and recently added live drummer Evan’s) relentless playing, can belie the fact that their show is startlingly tight for something seemingly on the verge of utter chaos. During recent touring with fellow infamous club-destroyers such as Les Georges Leningrad, Klaxons, Justice, Broken Social Scene and Erase Errata, the trio of Dandi Wind threatened to tear the roof off of every venue with impunity, often outshining their better-known compatriots, and all without a hint of irony. That blood is real blood, and possibly your blood. Authentic!
Dandi Wind’s debut full-length Concrete Igloo, originally self-released in a highly limited run to a quick sell-out, has now been reissued on Summer Lovers Unlimited in enhanced CD format, with stark, jaw-dropping design and ten music videos. As with the Dandi Wind live show, this album is a truly cohesive cross-media assault. The jarring, icy imagery of Dandi’s design is mirrored perfectly in Concrete Igloo’s sound - a fierce, claustrophobic collision of genre, meme, and modern-age mania. Songs like “Pluck It Out” and “Apotemnophilia” speak of perverse urges to escape the strictures of the human body (the latter song being the clinical term for the urge to self-amputate) yet are intensely rhythmic and danceable. Dandi’s vocals throughout are, by turns, animalistically gutteral and unnervingly slight, riding on Szam’s onrushing sheets of synth. On crowd favorites like “Balloon Factory,” absurdist vignettes are played out in the form of fractured playground chant and narrative. Songs like “Einsteinbrains” speak of human interaction but do so with a frenetic detachment from reality, in perfect keeping with our increasingly depersonalized times. The group playfully refers to itself as “post no-wave”, but it’s rather more fitting to categorize Dandi Wind as post-civilization. (Coming soon.)

Liricí
Ag comhaireamh haon, do, trí, ceathar
Tá cosúlacht le feiceáil ann
Doras ag luascadh
Nílim in ann mé féin a iompar
Adhall ar mhadra
Ag leanúint 's ag bolú d'eireaball
Cad tá mícheart liom
Ta's a'am, ta's, a'am
Is tú an bláithín is áille
Ag snámh tríd an aer
An t-íomhá is aoibhne
Mar éinín sa spéir
Caithfidh mé bheith cúramach
Le súilín i mo lámh
Bhuel do ghoideamar gluaisteán
Le bheith neamhspleách
Ach níor thiomáin mé fada
Mar nílim in ann
Bhuel do chum mé roinnt briathra
Le bheith neamhspleách
Mar thit mé thar focal a bhí os mo chomhair
'S do choinnigh mé amach
Le bheith neamhspleách
Agus thit mé i ngrá leat
Nuair nach raibh codladh orm
Ag comhaireamh haon, dó, trí, ceathar
Ní rabhas in ann análú le do phóg
Ar mo bhéilín bog
Na mothúcháin chomh difriúil dom
Contúirt atá romham
Tá sé chomh milis le mil
'S tú féin 'tá ann
Chomh saor is fiáin
Bhuel de ghoideamar......
Is tú an bláithín is áille....
Ní rabhas in ann codladh a fháil.....

Alchemy EP out July 25th see website for details
Info
Divisible has been an ever-changing entity since its birth in February 2004. Through several incarnations, however, one thing has remained constant: the strength of the band's emotional core. The music has always been moody, atmospheric, and accessible. With the current line-up (Shola on guitar/vocals, Albert on drums, Jaysson on bass), the band has a solid and promising history. After recording their first demo in the confines of their rehearsal room, it was apparent Divisible had developed their own sound. Bryan Cook (Gary Jules, Michael Andrews) agreed to mix the three songs and ready it for release. Drawing local attention by handing out their 3-song demo, Divisible garnered interest from local A&R website Buzzplay.com (featured band), Filter Magazine (pick of the week), and ABC Television. Writing new songs and performing around Los Angeles, the band is currently finalizing their first official release, the Alchemy EP due out July 25th.

Bio
Singer/songwriter, Meagin Donovans charged, percussive, yet technically intricate acoustic guitar work and passionate singing seems effortless, and her energy, endless. Born in Noblesville, Indiana, Meagin has called the Pacific Northwest her home for years. One day in college, something inside Meagin caused her to pick up the acoustic guitar. Since then everything has made more sense. Completely self-taught, Meagins style is uninhibited, describing the process of writing as easy because, All six strings are friends. You just have to find out what theyre saying together.
New to the music scene, Meagin has only played acoustic guitar for five years. And, although she is new to Seattle she has gigged all over western Washington. Shes played at: hopvine pub, Galway arms, Ballard firehouse, Black box which was a show sponsored by The University of Washington radio station, KEXP, the showbox greenroom, and many others. She has also gigged in Tacoma and Olympia. She writes relentlessly; her all-original sets can run up to two hours.
With the recent addition of hand drums, Meagins demo ranges from introspective, to daring and raw. Meagins commitment to improvisation and live performance are evident at her shows and on her demo.
Meagins unique songwriting and powerful, rocking guitar playing, along with awesome timing of the hand drums creates a sound that is different than anything out there right now. Meagin Donovan tells the truth, as she knows it . . . the unedited version. Audiences feel the emotions of each song in a very real way when Meagin sings and jams on the guitar.
Meagin Donovan is reaching out to all people who want to rock out because everyone gets something from her music. Constantly writing, Meagin feels obligated to empower her audience, encouraging them to be free in her music. She is an independent artist with one hell of a work ethic and she will not stop working until her music is heard. Just starting out, Meagin is ready.

Yellow-haired William's old woman would set

To the old woman of the town of old women
And the old woman of Harris would set

Yellow-haired John's old woman would reel
To William's old woman
And when Anna took off her mutch
John Curry had to go away
Bring Allan over to me, to me, to me

With this music video I wanted to focus on some of the sorrow and pain that Kaim Argonar endures.
The song is called: "A Dream That Only I Can Know" from the movie 'Yesterday's Children.' The song is performed by Jenn Mahoney and was written by Patrick Williams.
I would like to give a special thank you to Anita (aka panicatmysite) for introducing me to the song! XD
Lyrics:
"A Dream That Only I Can Know"
IRISH (GAELIC):
Eist le mo chroí
Is é leanúint ailsing'
Is é ag gabháil go háit
Nach eol ach dom féin
Ní heol do mo chroí
Ach an aisling a leanúint
Nach féidir ach liomsa a haithint
ENGLISH:
Listen to my heart
As it follows a dream
And it leads to a place
That only I know
To know my heart
Is to follow a dream,
A dream that only I can know
IRISH (GAELIC):

Is é leanúint ailsing'
Is é ag gabháil go háit

Here’s a little presentation of what you can find here.
Sucrepop could be translating by Sugarpop, and it’s definitely what this name means.
There are a lot of gifted musicians on the internet and it’s difficult to stand apart, whatever style or quality your’re proposing.
so, I’ve tried to add something else.
.For more than 8 years now, Sucrepop has proposed a new song on the first of each month, under a creative commons licence by NC ND.
So you can freely download, share, copy, distribute, and perform my work as long as you do not use it for commercial purposes without my authorisation.
Each of those songs is available in the discography section on your right. In the download section, you’ll find instrumental version, chords and karaoke version. Feel free to make your own and let me know what you've made.
Those songs have a further particularity. Most of all are recorded with singers or musicians I’ve never met. I write all the music and most of the lyrics but singer’s parts or guitar’s part for example are sent to me through mail. And I mix all the tracks, mine and the others here in Le Pre Saint Gervais, near Paris.

About Amy Rigby
"Renowned songwriter Amy Rigby’s fifth album, Little Fugitive, finds the singer, who began her solo career as the Mod Housewife, bringing it all back home. Hailed for her keen eye and sharp wit in tracing the vagaries and victories of modern romance, her new Signature Sounds release finds Rigby promising "I Don't Want To Talk About Love No More." But, of course, she does - getting to the heart of the matter and the heart of the punch line in due course. For the making of Little Fugitive, Rigby returned to New York City, where she emerged as a solo artist in 1996 with Diary Of A Mod Housewife, a critically acclaimed album that prompted Spin magazine to declare her "Songwriter of the Year" and was voted No. 8 in the annual Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics poll. Rigby co-produced the album with her longtime guitarist Jon Graboff. The result is a collection that continues to prove Rigby to be the ultimate rock girl next door – strong-willed, sharp-tongued and ready to wrestle you to the barroom floor. Yet it also reflects the wisdom of a grown woman who has made her mark as a consummate artist, penning songs with an emotional honesty and rare incisive humor. And on Little Fugitive, Rigby feels free to color in the songs with stylistic splashes from bright folk chords to stomping rock and 60’s psychedelia. Rigby grew up in Pittsburgh but ended up in New York soon enough, attending art school amidst the fertile downtown scene of the late 1970s. She describes herself as a "casual listener" before happening upon CBGB’s, the legendary punk rock club on the Bowery. By the early 1980s, Rigby had taken up the guitar and was writing songs, playing and singing with her brother and some friends in Last Roundup, an urban country string band that recorded an album for Rounder Records, toured the U.S., and was a precursor of the Americana movement a decade later. She followed that with another group, the all female folk-pop trio The Shams, who released an album and EP on the trendsetting Matador label. And she married and had a child. Marriage, motherhood and divorce informed her solo debut Diary Of A Mod Housewife (produced by former Cars guitarist Elliot Easton). It earned her considerable musical acclaim as well as becoming a text for women's studies courses, marking Rigby as a musical voice for thoroughly modern women (and the men that love them). She has since built a catalog of releases that are "all terrific," according to Robert Christgau, the "Dean of American Rock Critics." Along the way, Rigby moved to Nashville, had her songs have been covered by rock legend Ronnie Spector, They Might Be Giants/John Flansburgh, Laura Cantrell, Jonell Mosser and Maria Doyle Kennedy, and drew comparisons to exalted songwriters like Carole King and Richard Thompson. The Chicago Reader simply hails Rigby as an artist with 'no peer on the current pop scene.'" This bio is from my last album which came out in 2005. These days I'm performing and working on a new album with Wreckless Eric. (PS The photo in the background was taken at Coney Island by Stephanie Chernikowski.)

MyHope (original song)
The years are going by so fast it really is bewilderin'
And we'll be so-called "grown ups" and have mortgages and children
I hope we all gain worldliness, and wisdom, maturity
But I hope most of all that MySpace falls into obscurity
I hope our profiles all go dead, entombed in distant servers
A monument of your youth, although lacking its observers
Your page will be an empty shell, when no one is behind it
I hope your MySpace stays forever - and I hope that your kids find it
How I hope that you forget your MySpace
I hope it slips completely from your mind
And I hope it stays up long enough for the next generation to find
And I hope that it embarrasses your children
I hope their bratty friends all forward it around
And I hope that you forget your password
So you cannot take it down
If your kids think you vaguely square, it will be so much clearer
When they laugh at the pictures you took in your bathroom mirror
And all the bands you listen to, your kids will be exposin'
"Who is this Soulja Boy you reference, who's 'Uh Oh Explosion'?"
They'll marvel at how old you are, they'll "rofl" at your outfits
Your tastes may pass as "vintage" in the future - but I doubt it
I hope your cynical kids say, "Holy crap, this is great
these comments date all the way back to 2008."
I hope they dig through your pictures, and find some we might call compromising
I hope that seeing young Mom in a swimsuit or smoking a hookah isn't too traumatizing
But it will be past their comprehension
They'll ask "Did Grandpa not give you enough attention?"
[insert rocking out here]
They might poke at your top 8 friends, read your comments at the most
I only wish that they could see the inane bulletins you post

Laura Lambert
Pop rock soul artist Laura Lambert focuses on crafting songs that speak to the heart and leave listeners hungy for more. Along with her producers/co-writers, Vinnie and Janice Zummo, Lambert works at each song, imbuing it with her personality. Truth is vital to Lambert's work. To hear her music is to feel her ideas and understand their importance to her ... and Lambert hopes that they will become important to the listener, as well.
Alive
Music is the good version of Dr. Frankenstein. It makes you, the listener, feel alive vicariously through the passion of the artist. “Music makes me feel comforted, inspired, hopeful, not alone, connected. It’s really what keeps me going.” Music is food; it is sustenance that helps keep the world spinning. It shines light in corners and makes us all better people. With this in mind, Lambert strives to write songs that inspire and motivate. She wants to entertain but she also wants to explore herself through music and help others do the same.
Medicine
Music is a healer. Its melodies and words bring healing and catharsis. Lambert's goal is for her music to be a step in that direction. Her simple desire is to create art that offers pleasure and fun to listeners but also offers hope and healing. “Music, in all forms, is medicine for our souls. That is what makes it so universal. It has the power to pick us up in our darkest hour, plant seeds of hope and inspiration in our hearts and lift us up into the light. Music is my oxygen, the air I breathe; it’s what keeps me alive!”

Info
In 2006, after eight years of fronting the critically acclaimed Colorado-based band, Newcomers Home, and releasing her first solo record, Watch Them Fall, as a side project—singer/songwriter Katie Herzig retreated to the solitude of her bedroom studio. There, she single-handedly recorded and produced Weightless, a tour-de-force of innovative sonics and songwriting whose tracks have been prominently featured on NPR, KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic, E.R., Smallville, and, most recently, on two episodes of television’s highest-rated drama, Grey’s Anatomy.
Following the release of Weightless, Herzig left Colorado for Nashville and immediately started to catch the attention of other artists. Her song “Heaven’s My Home” received a 2007 Grammy nomination for best country performance by The Duhks. She was also invited to open shows for The Fray and join PASTE Magazine and American Songwriter Magazine sponsored tours.
Performing Songwriter Magazine wrote, “Katie Herzig possesses gravity-defying powers on her latest release, balancing heavy and mournful lyrics with light pop melodies that bounce and float into the stratosphere.” PASTE Magazine’s Jason Killingsworth said, “Katie Herzig has a whimsical side that I love. Her music doesn’t take itself too seriously, and the lyrics always [have] a sharp emotional edge to them. I’m a huge fan.”

Info
Singer/songwriter Jessie McKenna began singing along to her mom's Suzanne Vega tapes at four and wrote her first song, now lost to history, at six. By age thirteen, Jessie had an electric bass she played like a rhythm instrument, and began writing what would become a catalog of dozens of thoughtful, melodic rock songs ranging from lighthearted to darkly beautiful, sometimes within the same song.
In the summer of 2002, Jessie put together a band in an attempt to bring her songs to life, ans soon after, Jessie's mom, Marti McKenna, joined the group on backing vocals. By the summer of 2003 the band prepared to go into the studio for the first time. Performing as Jessie McKenna and Her Band (JMaHB), the lineup included Ricochet Biscuit members Ric Neil, Brian Ochs, and Evan Middlesworth, and produced the Deluded EP (recorded at Hype Schwartz). In January of 2004 the McKenna girls split off to perform as an acoustic act. They became Ruby Shuz in July of 2004.
Bassist Brandon Koeller joined the band in the summer of 2005, bringing a spirit and enthusiasm that, along with his solid bass lines, fuels the band's fire on stage.
Soon after joining the band, Brandon brought drummer Ben Anderson into the mix. A member of the Seattle Seahawks Drumline, Ben's dynamic beats and humor drive the music and stir the band's chemistry during every performance.
In early 2006, Andrew Benton joined the band on lead guitars. Today, his guitar work is an integral part of each Ruby Shuz song.

Upon hearing them, one would never guess Black Fortress of Opium's origin took place in Boston. The band's self-titled debut album, produced by Martin Bisi, is a darkly beautiful record containing songs ranging from moody, brooding rock tunes to soulful, bluesy numbers, along with a cinematic Dead Can Dance-like soundscape and a Mazzy Star-like country tune. Uniting them is the distinctive sound of female vocals, varying from powerful and soulful to soft and plaintive, combined with American folk instruments and a heady brew of electric guitars that float, swoop, and soar over fluid drumming.

In 2006, Ajda the Turkish Queen was working as a solo musician, composing songs on mandolin, guitar, banjo, and keys, and a cappella melodies. Ajda decided to give the full band approach another go-round, and subsequently met up with Tony Savarino, a masterful guitar player consistently in demand around Boston due to his versatility, love of boutique gear, and attention to detail. The two bonded over a love for PJ Harvey's albums, samurai culture, and physical fitness - all three of which center around personal strength.

Formed in 2006, Twilight Dementia is comprised of Jennifer Mendiola on vocals and John Krauss on guitars, bass, keyboards and programming. “When we first met at the studio, we hit it off immediately,” recalls Jennifer. “Although our musical influences were not identical, our philosophy of music was the same.” Those wide-ranging influences include Lunascape, Evanescence, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Portishead, and Pink Floyd, among others. Jennifer adds, “Besides, when I first heard John play guitar, I remember thinking, I need to be in a band with this guy.” Conversely, John also relates that after working on their first song together, and hearing Jennifer’s vocal approach, he too, knew he wanted to keep writing songs with her. Seeing the possibilities in the immediacy of their chemistry, the two began meeting several times a week to write and experiment, always at twilight. Thus, Twilight Dementia was born.

Born and raised in the Welsh city of Cardiff, Donna was classically trained at the Welsh College of Music and Drama, majoring in flute and piano. Her debut album - 'Now in a Minute' - was released in 1996 to universal acclaim. The first single - 'I Love You Always Forever' - became an instant global phenomenon, climbing to the top of the charts in countries around the world. In the USA, it re-wrote the record books at radio by exceeding 1 million 'spins' to claim its place in music industry history as the most-played single ever, at that time.
After a long hiatus during which she raised a family, Multi-platinum recording artist Donna Lewis will finally return with her first proper studio album in a decade with the release of In The Pink on April 8, 2008.
Featuring the first single "Shout," Donna's eleven new tracks seem to pick up right where she left off. Her overly acute sense of pop sensibility remains firmly intact while simultaneously gravitating towards the newer sounds of bands such as Zero 7 and Hooverphonic.
“I didn't plan on being away for this long,” Lewis commented. “After Blue Planet, I had the opportunity to work on some great collaborative projects which I found really interesting and enjoyable. Then I did something I had always wanted to do, record an acoustic album, Be Still which I just put out on my website. I had a baby in 2003 and decided to take a complete break to be a hands on mum - I wouldn't change anything about that time, it has been incredible sharing his first few years....”
At the end of 1993 she came to the attention of Atlantic Records and so impressed Chairman Doug Morris that he flew her out to New York from her native Cardiff, Wales to meet her personally - and offered her a recording deal on the spot!

Artist Bio
In a time when coming out has evolved from something equated with fear to something much more about freedom, Michaels has freed her artistic soul to deliver “Living My Life Out Loud.” It is a testament to, above all else, her love of the song – whether that means writing, arranging and performing the vocals (lead and backgrounds), showcasing her talents on the piano/keys, or overseeing production with the best in the business to leave listeners breathless.
As fans will note in her “Meet Me at the Partay” track, Ms. Michaels has been dubbed “diva” – as in “The Dyke Diva” – in part because of her command of any venue, in part because she is the whole package. To quote GO! Magazine, she is “a new Renaissance woman” –- a powerful singer/songwriter, a musician of the first order, and the star and choreographer of her “Me & The Girls” song and dance act. The fans of NFL, NHL, NBA, and WNBA franchises know Michaels for her chill-rendering delivery of the National Anthem, as well as producing, directing, and wowing crowds in her pre-game and half-time performances. Countless couples know Michaels for “Unconditionally,” her love song sung at many a gay wedding. And club audiences know her for being (in the words of Philadelphia Gay News) “smokin’ sexy” in her steamy Me & The Girls hit show.

Je me nomme Mélissa j'ai 15 ans et un rêve qui est en train de se réaliser... J'habite a saint raphaël dans le var, la musique est ma passion et je pratique le piano depuis 7 ans deja. Voila mon parcours en quelques lignes ...
C'est à l'age de 14 ans que j'ai décidé de chanter. Je me suis donc
inscrite a des cours de chant variétés qui ne m'on pas vraiment
apportés grand chose.
Un ans c'est écoulé et je me suis mise au chant
lyrique: les bases de la chanson . Cela m'a beaucoup appris et j'ai
vraiment decouvert une seconde famille.
Ici je ne dirais pas d'idioties du genre : "je chante depuis l'age de 5 ans" non je veux que l'on sache comment j'ai fait pour m'améliorer en peu de temps .
Au bout de 6 mois de chant lyrique j'ai fais mes premiers pas
sur scene en ouvrant un spectacle classique. Les spectateurs étaient nombreux et j'ai reçu des compliments de tous . Une fois l'année de chant terminée je me suis mise a composer des chansons et des morceaux de piano de genres différents (pop, variétés, symphonie etc ...).
Au début je fesais cela pour mon plaisir personnel jusqu'au jour ou mon père m'a entendu chanter une de mes compositions. Tout a fait conquis il a decidé de me faire enregistrer un cd qui serait composé de 3 titres. On a donc contacté un realisateur (Cédric Conti) qui était vraiment partant pour le projet. J'ai enregistré 5 titres au total et j'ai vraiment pris le plus grand plaisir a faire cela .
A 15 ans j'ai enregistré un cd, et bientot un album de 14 titres si tout ce projet se présente bien .
je vous laisse mes chansons et la place pour tous les commentaires bons ou mauvais car tout conseil est bon a prendre ... merci à tous ! :)

Info
Jezebel was formed in 2001 by Helene Ring Teppan and Vivian Mari Ozalbo. At the time the band was called Go Brutal Sweeties and the first song was made in one week. The music was quite traditional pop/rock, and the name was found in a pin-up calendar from the 1920s. The band consisted of four girls and a male drummer.
After the band had been called Sidestreet Sirens for a brief period, the music changed direction with the birth of the song Simple Solutions. They then started using more untraditional elements; electric guitar played with a bow and more frequent use of unusual time-signatures. During the spring of 2003, the band changed their name again; this time to Jezebel. At this point the band headed for the studio for the first time and recorded a demo consisting of three songs: Blame Me, Strangest Patterns and Simple Solutions. Jezebel got their first opportunity at national fame, when NRK Petres radioshow for unsigned bands, Urørt, played Simple Solutions on air.
The time that followed is characterized by a constant evolution of the repertoire, active use of the Urørt homepage (where a live version of the song Dissect is listed as one of the favourites) and several gigs in Oslo. The music has become what it is today as a result of the band-members. The music spans over a lot of genres and you find elements of jazz, blues and prog as well as traditional pop and rock. Musical quibble, as some would say.
2001 The band was founded by Helene Ring Teppan and Vivian Mari Ozalbo.
2003 The band's first demo was recorded in May. Petre's Urørt airs "Simple Solutions" 21.10 og 24.11 .
2005 Jezebel plays live and is interviewed on radio at Kanal 24s Tut og kjør w/Rune Hekkelstrand.
The Ep "Simple" is finished in July. Conserts at Betonghaven, Skuret, Blue Monk and Grønnlandshagen.
2006 Jezebel recorded new songs in December.

Bio
The Norwegain band ACELSIA, may be considered as melodic hard rock. Sometimes quiet and mellow, sometimes heavy and noisy - the band is recognised by soothing melodies, melancholy moods and Malene's emotional voice.
Acelsia started as a solo project in the summer of 2006. Malene wanted to record some of her songs and got Nils and some other friends to help her out in the studio. Happy with the result, Malene decided to take the project further and form a permanent band.
Marius and Håkon showed up for auditions and was soon chosen to join the band. After some time with no permanent second guitarist, the band got its current line-up when Odd Henning joined the band in the fall of 2007.
Acelsia has contributed to different compilation albums such as “Månerock vol 2” and “Norwegian Wood Music For China”. In the fall of 2007 they recorded a music video for the song “Christine”.
In the last couple of months, Acelsia has taken a new musical direction, away from the guitar based pop/rock to more complex and melodic hard rock/goth metal. With this changed expression, the band has found their identity. In March, 2008, the band recorded a demo to show their recent development.
Acelsia tries to create honest and genuine music with hopes that the emotions it conveys will touch the listener. The music is contrastive and emotional, and moves between one extreme to the other, from the soft and sweet to the more brutal and heavy, but always with a strong melody in the center.

Info
There’s something undeniably seductive about jazz music- its glamour, sexuality and earnest, soulful roots all appeal to a comfortable, old-fashioned musical sensibility. Yet singer/songwriter Rosey is one of the select few who sees one step beyond the classic image and recognizes the genre as an entirely fresh form of pop music. A longtime jazz lover who began her eclectic career as a rock n’ soul siren on Island/Def Jam, Rosey is unique in her ability to find the delicate balance between both eras on The Luckiest Girl, her smoky, sensual, self-produced Quango debut.
Since we last heard from Rosey on that aforementioned 2002 freshman effort, her remarkable career has indeed taken many exciting twists and turns throughout several unconventional musical associations. Following instant national attention from her single “Love” landing on the Bridget Jones’s Diary soundtrack and “The Afterlife” scoring a slot in the Farrelly Brothers’ Shallow Hal, the tunesmith toured with the lauded likes of Melissa Etheridge and Morcheeba. Outside of her own interests, she’s also teamed up as a co-writer on many occasions, from hit maker Kelis to a number of burgeoning artists (with whom she doubles as a mentor) to writing jingles for commercials.
“I always dreamed of making timeless music, plus people have always told me my voice was well-suited to jazz and that I should try it,” she shares. “So I hooked up with [longtime friend and legendary session player] Hugh McCracken to record a bunch of standards. A few days into those sessions, we starting writing a song I called ‘The Old Fashioned Way,’ which really set the pace for the record. With everybody and their mom putting out a standards album, I knew I had to go full steam and write my own jazzy repertoire. I am a songwriter after all, so it just made more sense to do it that way. I do enjoy a good challenge, and musically, this one was massive. ”

Des Bishop (feat DJ Lee) - Léimigí Thart
House of Pain - Jump Around
Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam
Dún do chlab, dún do bhéal, éist le mo scéal
Má cheapann tú go dtuigeann tú tá tú cur i géill
Tá mé ag dul thú a bhomhradh, ceangail mé le slabhra
Guile a mhac, ná bí caint cac anseo i lár an samhradh
Súistín búistín buile beaga shúistín
Ná bí a phlaidhca no gheobhaidh tú a leice
Níl mé ag iarraidh éisteacht le do chac bó
Damhsa damhsa gan aon stró
Buachaillí gránna, cailíní beaga dána
Ní thugann mise áird ar na Gárdaí síochána
Ar an gCeathrú Rua, amuigh anseo faoin tuath
Léim anois, léim anois, léim anois go luath
Má tá sé mí-cheart, má tá sé mí cheart
Is cuma liom is cuma liom, léimigí thart
Léim thart
Éirigh as do pholl is léim thart
Léim (x12)
Freastailfidh mé thú ar nós John McEnroe
Má shúileann do bhean shuas buaileadh mé an ho
Cá bhfuil do chlann ,cá bhfuil do cháirde ?
Cá bhfuil an ceol? Suas níos airde.
Aus díreach ar nós uisce te , tá mé a'bruith
Má fheiceann tú mise ag tíócht b'fhearr dhuit bheith rith
Mar tá mé ar nós 'Tom Cruise' sa scannán sin 'top gun'
Ní stopfaidh tú mise leis an shotgun
Má dheanann tú is gaoita thú agus beidh tú i do staic
Ní éireoidh tú arís agus sin é an chraic
Anois é mo stoir
Éist le mo Ghlor
Amach ar an urlar ar nós Peigín Leitir Moir
Curfá
Is mé an fear is fearr ,sea tá mé tharr barr
Ní fheicfidh tú mise i mo sheasamh ins an lár
Ná an deireadh ach an oiread , an taobh eile don droichead
Má thagann said chomh fada liom cuirfidh mise soir iad.
Amach ar an bportach agus iad ag baint mhóna
Déardaoin, Dé hAoine Dé Sathairn is Dé Domhnaigh
Suas suas is síos agus arais arís
Glan do straois , tá sé salach agus clúdaigh le smaois
Comh héadrom le cleite, comh te leis an leite
Fanach tú é nó togfaidh mé é uaite.
Curfá

Info
ROBOTS IN DISGUISE are fronted by DEE PLUME (guitar and vocals) and SUE DENIM (bass and vocals). Part riot grrl princesses, part monsters of DIY musical mayhem, this maverick electro-indie-rock-dance duo has a reputation for fashion-forward style and energetic shows where Dee's guitar and Sue's grooving bass lines dance over chunky electronic beats and tell-it-like-it-is lyrics.
The Robots first met at a Le Tigre gig and quickly discovered a shared love of girl punk bands and so started writing music together.
Snapped up by French label, Recall, ROBOTS IN DISGUISE released their eponymous debut album in 2004, creating a real buzz throughout Europe after which they took their crazed live show on tour. Their dancefloor killer 12” single, BOYS, was released with remixes by Hidden Agenda, SIN, The Servant and Tommy Hools and won over a host of fans including Boy George and Peaches.
After a US release and tour in 2005, ROBOTS IN DISGUISE released GET RID!, their sharp, snazzy electrofunk album on Recall in France, Anorak Supersport in Benelux countries and Australia’s Shock Records. Their standout single, DJ’s GOT A GUN, enjoyed heavy rotation across Europe and the States. GET RID! was then released by President Records in the UK last year, with its single, TURN IT UP, featured on US hit show, Ugly Betty.
Robots in Disguise have graced the pages of numerous fashion magazines donning their discopunk mod look and have also acted in BBC2's The Mighty Boosh as evil alter egos, The Electro Girls and The Goth Girls.

Info
The album begins with slow-burning pop and bright shining vocals, which lead you through a tour of romantic longing and crumbling industrial landscapes. This is Lindsay Sullivan's New York. Through her music and lyrics, the band Clair narrows a spotlight on individual moments, singular voices living their lives amidst everyday frustrations and classical arcs. Their debut, Long Road Home, veers from clamorous rock to pensive, piano-driven sketches, traversing a wide stretch of musical and emotional ground.
Sullivan, Clair's vocalist and songwriter, has lived in New York for most of her life. "I've played piano, sung, and written various things (plays, short stories, etc.) since I was a kid but never officially started songwriting until my first band, Mason Dixon," Sullivan says. In 2005, Sullivan left the Americana-fueled Mason Dixon to assemble her own band. She soon encountered her old friend and guitarist Brendan Boehning, who quickly became a mainstay of the group, co-writing the music for Long Road Home's "Every Day" and "Gun to My Head." "We've been really lucky getting great musicians to play with us," says Sullivan. "Right now we are working with Lizzie Carena who is a talented vocalist, Dan Loomis, a very respected jazz bassist and my cousin Kevin Duda on drums, who is a great player and a fantastic addition to the band."
Sullivan's writing process varies from song to song. "I usually start with an idea, which could be a lyric, melody, character, setting, emotion, news story…whichever one I start with I then work to build the other elements around. Occasionally the stars align and it all happens at once ("Goodness James") and sometimes I have to labor over the song for six months ("Every Day")." The result is an album that shimmers at times and aches with longing at others and is bolstered by a classically buoyant pop sensibility, a trace of lap steel and an open-sky voice.

JOHN SPILLANE (Meteor award winner 2003)
Im Daisy (aka Christine). Im 25, from Skibbereen but living in Dublin. I've been writing music in my head all my life. If I were an animal, id be an Owl.
I love music, I love hope, I know that; Trees are tall, The earth is round, Laughter is sweet, Tears are salty. Ice cream melts (but who wants to live in a freezer), Fame is an illusion, Metrosexuality is stupid, Lemons are better than oranges, Stars are dusty fireballs (not famous people) and doing lots of the things you love makes you happy.
What I want is; to live by the sea, in a mansion, surrounded by pineapple trees. When I grow up I want to live off music, write some good songs and barter them at local markets for organic fruit and veg. One day I am going to record in famous studios with really expensive delicate equipment. I want to travel to places where the sun is not just a state of mind and people don't understand what I'm singing. Right now I Live in the City, I pay rent, I live hand to mouth. I play with a full band including two backing vocalists, a drummer and a bass player. We will only play venues that will feed us!

Info
Hot and dirty rock and roll lead by axe-weilding, fire-breathing mob-boss mamma Sassy Kraimspri. Her gang of thugs sways and thumps along with her on their uncompramising rock and roll crime spree to the top. Pop-sensibilities choked on Norse Black Metal roots, mixed with a love for 40s blues and old school punk make for the tantalizing mix that is Sassy Kraimspri's sound. Born in on the raging South Coast of Norway and raised in the punk rock world of underground New York City, Sassy then spent six years slaving away at University and living it up in Sydney's rock and roll centre- already an international musician before her first full-length release. A gig veteran at 26, she has countless gems of live moments under her belt, most shiny and most recently: CBGB's (New York, USA '06), North By North East (Toronto, Canada '06) and the Quart Festival (Norway '07- notably sharing a bill with The Who, fellow Norwegian rock gods Turbonegro, the Beastie Boys and Juliette and the Licks). known for her sexy and energetic live show and the her band's tight, hard-hitting backing. All this has been punctuated by fabulous smaller gigs here and there all over Australia, Norway and the US. She is now ready with her debut album, "Dirty White Lies" and she has assembled a gang of worthy and spree-hungry thugs. Together they are gearing up for an early 2008 release through her own record label, Lady Luck Records in Norway, and a late 2007 release through October Party Records in the world's most populated country, China! December sees her pick up and fly back to old haunts in Australia, a gig here, a gig there, and a good old fashioned shrimp on the baaaabie with a noice cold tallie. Ladies and Gentlemen, we ain't seen nothin' yet.

A young girl who once was a shy kid playing her songs on an out-of-tune upright piano in Soviet Moscow with neighbors knocking on the wall because it’s after midnight, and whose piano teacher told her not to write anymore, who learned English by translating the Beatles songs and whose soul cried with joy when she heard the beautiful melodies of a Russian folk music, who overcame a lot of adversity and came all the way to America by herself as a teenager, and who left everything behind to make her music dreams come true.

Lunascape sound mixes catchy rhythms, ethereal samples and loops and rock Guitar, blended carefully with smooth melodies and Kyoko's enchanting voice.
At the core of Lunascape are musicians Kyoko Baertsoen and Walter Hilhorst.
The duo originally met in 1993 at the Television and Film Academy in Brussels, Belgium and began to fiddle around with covers and some original material. In 1997, Kyoko was offered the spot of lead singer for Hooverphonic and her work with Walter was put on the back burner. After touring Europe extensively with Hooverphonic, Kyoko left the band and returned to her work with Walter; Lunascape was born.
Lunascape landed a record deal in 1998 and singles began to trickle out over the next few years. But it wasn't until 2002 that Lunascape's debut album Reflecting Seyelence was released, showcasing the group's ethereal blend of trip-hop, moody pop, and electronic textures framed by Baertsoen's lush vocals.

Straight from Hoboken, here's a ferocious rock band - radio-ready, muscular, and tuneful - sporting well-written songs and a tight, winning sound. Hey Tiger has already made believers out of rock fans in their home state, and its a safe bet their renown is about to spread exponentially.
That's because September, their debut full-length, feels like a record made by a band at the top of the charts. Hey Tiger has managed to capture a million-dollar sound on a shoestring budget, and you'll be astonished by the power of the production and the performances preserved here. Recorded by producer/bandmember Wayne Dorell (guitar, organ, electric piano) at the Pigeon Club in Hoboken, September is a varied, ten-song set of emotionally-charged, flawlessly-executed rock songs.

HighWired are a five-piece hailing from Limerick, taking their own stance on steadfast rock with inventive melodies and frontwoman Stacy’s attractive vocals. The band’s fan base and media interest has been growing steadily around the country in the last year and 2007 saw HighWired win the Limerick heat of "The Jack Daniels Hardest Working Band" competition [The JD Set] after only a few months together.
They recorded their Debut EP "Seem Familar?" in 2007 with production guru, Owen Lewis, who is now working in the world famous Grouse Lodge Studios in Co. Westmeath with the likes of Snow Patrol, REM, and Flogging Molly to mention a few. They released their debut record in November ’07 after much anticipation and a long hard year of production, and promotion. "All This Time", the single taken from the EP, was released in February ’08 and went straight in at No. 10 in the download chart, moving to No. 5 in its second week. Also in February ’08 the band were chosen as one of the final twelve acts in the country to take part in the "National Student Music Awards 2008"

There is a certain allure to Coco's music that is tantamount to none. When asked to categorize her style this was no easy task, but if you take an element of modern electronica and introduce it to an intellegent poetic pleasure this in turn creates a fresh music genre that sets the standard rather than follow it.
In this saturated buisness Coco's style instills an immediate sit up and listen effect as she stops you in her tracks.

Kalliopi is a pop-rock singer/songwriter from Greece. She recently completed a single called Around the World, including the original track Fire and Sea and a rock n roll version of T.Springfield/C.Westlake song Summer is over, originally sung by Dusty Springfield. Kalliopi has performed in various venues like Betsew Trotwood, Rock Garden, Infinity Club, George and Dragon and the Hope & Anchor. Kalliopi has been writing just great songs and melodies you carry with you. Vocals flow from high ranging, crystal clear, angelic to aggressive, punky and quirky. Shes got a great ear for languages and was natural to find herself writing English and also French lyrics. "You may not have heard of her yet, but with a multi-talented, multi-lingual repertoire, chances are she will burst on to the world stage soon" European Weekly In Greece she collaborated with well-known producer Coti K. in a remake of some of Lena Platonos songs that was released by FM Records. The album was produced by Konstantin B. She put in distinctive airy/breathy vocals, improvising melodies in the song called Roumanian Emigrants, it was a project that went also live at Rodon Club one of the biggest rock venues in Athens. Working as a singer she has basically worked everywhere from piano restaurants and hotels singing jazz, latin and greek music to groovy clubs and live venues singing pop hits, disco, dance - she was lucky to meet some of the best professional musicians around and formed a band called minima. That led to an album of 11 songs released by Lyra/MBI Records. All these guys now were also playing with pop-rock artist Christos Dantis, who had just released a new album and was planning on a tour for its promotion, so it wasnt long until he asked Kalliopi to join him as a supporting act for his concerts and later with her band minima. She appeared with him in hundreds of concerts at festivals, small venues and clubs all around Greece, in Cyprus and Germany.

My Someday is the debut LP from Blondfire, the brother/sister duo of Bruce and Erica Driscoll. Almost entirely self-produced and mixed, it's a song after song showcase of hooky, elegant, left-of-center, pop songs.
Erica's voice is airy, haunting, heartbreaking, and creates a wonderful sense of continuity over the span of the album. Over the course of the 12 songs Blondfire succeed at taking the listener on a journey through several different genres, with each track sounding remarkably original and unmistakably their own.
Beneath their catchy melodies and quirky production there is an undeniable charming element to their sound. Some songs seem like period pieces or forgotten hits from a different era, while still seeming modern, fresh, and current.
It's evident from listening to My Someday that the Driscolls love music and have fun doing what they do. Each song was recorded in a different location, some as bizarre as a London hotel room. The album shows what bands can be capable of once they throw out the rule book and just make the music in their hearts. This is a must listen release.

When Shannon Curtis was 5, she danced and sang along to her dad playing 40’s-era standards on her family’s baby grand.
When she was 7, her classical piano teacher told her she played like a boy.
When she was 9, she sang into her hairbrush pretending to be Amy Grant.
Just out of college, she shirked her pre-med Biology degree and made an earnest effort as the lead singer in a guitar-based rock band.
Two years ago she found her piano again, started writing love songs, and quit the band. Since then she says it’s been like walking around in an old, comfortable pair of shoes – playing the piano and singing songs about love.
The Los Angeles Times describes Shannon as "... a beautiful piano player who sounds like the love child of Fiona Apple and Norah Jones."
Shannon’s debut EP, Boomerangs & Seesaws, was released in July 2007 on the tiny Saint Cloud Records label, and the follow up, Paris Can’t Have You, was released in March 2008. Constant touring has been building Shannon a devoted following across the country.

I’m a singer/sonwriter from Brighton, although I am now based in London. My songs are soul/blues based although it is very difficult to define your own sound. I managed to cajole various musician friends into helping me record them, for which I am eternally grateful to them! Recently I have been co-writing with songs with pianist Jules Porreca. I regularly play with funk/soul bands, such as Soul City (8 piece) and The Hustle (5 piece), and in jazz/swing bands, such as The Big Swing. I have also done a fair amount of session work, mostly dance music, for acts such as Kontact, Skylab Nine, and Plummet. I decided it was time to get on with writing songs for myself and so what we have here are a few examples of that, except for Go Deeper which was written by Jim Sullivan et al. and is an example of some session work I have done.

Sabai met at a house party while both living in Northern Thailand 7 years ago and have been playing music together ever since. After years on the road and on the beach they decided to bring their music to the western world where they hoped to find more inspiration, and ultimately, a wider audience. Two years ago the duo moved to Edinburgh, and have been on the scene locally since then. Summer 2007 saw them playing a few choice festivals (despite the rain!) and they hope to travel even more next summer, with a full lineup including bass and drums. Most recently they've recruited a very talented drummer and experienced bassist which has filled out their sound, making those rhythms just a bit more driving and danceable.

Liz Davis has been involved in singing and dancing since the age of five, from local singing contests to Irish dancing at world championship level. She showed a stronger interest in singing and has her voice formally trained for contemporary and classical performance. She has performed live on a number of occasions in many of Dublin's most prestigious venues such as Whelans, The Voodoo Lounge, The Temple Bar Music Centre and Vicar Street's sister venue-The Shelter; as well as a number of Dublin pubs including: The Hole In The Wall, Bankers Pub and the Laurels. (Usually accompanied on accoustic guitar by her talented brother Liam Davis.) Liz is a big fan of all music genres, from Irish trad to rock, but her main love is RnB. Following a very individual style of RnB mixed with pop, soul and jazz her lyrics represent the fun if not mischievious side of being a healthy and very happy 20-something year old in Dublin, as well as a reflection of some of the heart break, hurt and soulful contemplation that also comes with the territory.

Info
Samantha Farrell’s MySpace page describes her sound as a mix of “acoustic, soul and indie,? but, in many ways, the budding L.A. singer/songwriter places soul at the front of her sound. It’s her voice which draws you in, a soulful mix of Van Morrison’s country hospitality, Ella Fitzgerald’s jazzy range and Fiona Apple’s modern honesty. As best ..ed on her new CD, Spiritus, the curly-haired, bespectacled singer is a truly modern folkie, weaving tails through her stories, but connecting with listeners through her voice. The breezy “Sea Song? is a gentle, coffee-shop lament, while the more progressive folk-rock number “Keep Moving? wouldn’t sound out of place in Ani DiFranco’s more rocking repertoire. “Shake,? perhaps the most unique number Farrell has on display, showcases her acoustic guitar chops and, more impressively, skills as an arranger (nodding to the Tin Pan Alley somewhere along the way.)

The road to West of Eden hasn't been a clear cut track. In fact, like many, it's been a tough, winding and confusing affair. Like all good scripts there have been the unexpected and expected twists, the reshuffling of band members, the reinvented sound, the usual band name changes and the developing love affair. The script had it all, but it was, however, from this love affair that West of Eden came to be. Originally having met in Ballyfermot music college, Dublin born singer, Cindy O’ Keeffe and Wicklow Singer Songwriter, Kenn Davis have since been slowly developing and quietly forming West of Eden. In the current music that this duo has been making over the past year this absence of pressure is clearly noted. West of Eden happened as a result of two people falling in love and continues to grow in the same way it came to be; by chance. During the eighteen months of the duo’s musical lifespan perhaps the most crucial and poignant factor has been the switching of roles. Initially it was Songwriter, Davis who led the fray vocally and lyrically with O’ Keeffe offering background harmonies. Although it worked well, it just didn’t fit right with the couple. Once the balance was found and both parties settled into their new and natural roles it was only then that West of Eden was born. In less than a year, after gigging the Dublin circuit and venues around the country, the duo were finally in the position to put some of their work down. Sifting through their repertoire of songs, they decided on the three tracks that would make up their debut EP ‘Everyday thing’. Recorded and co-produced by Karl Odlum (The Frames, Kila, Fionn Regan, etc), the EP was released in August of 2007 and has since been attracting much media attention.

Bio
You may assume that Beth Thornley is just another female singer/songwriter but she's not. After hearing the first exhilarating chord changes of "Stand," the opening track of her album "My Glass Eye", you'll soon discover that Beth is not your ordinary songwriter.
On My Glass Eye, Beth's second collection, you'll hear echoes of highly regarded stylists like Ben Folds, Beth Orton, Matthew Sweet, and Aimee Mann. There are hints of Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple, even Tom Waits. Beth shares traits with all of these songwriters, and she takes great pride in assembling the kind of work that measures up to such an esteemed group. But she's also intensely original, with the ability to look and sound like no one but herself.
On the strength of My Glass Eye, many are about to find out just who this singer/songwriter is. The recording, produced by Beth's faithful and gifted producer Rob Cairns, takes a kaleidoscopic trip through pop music, stopping frequently at various scenic overlooks-power pop, hard rock, piano confessionals, even acoustic blues.
"I've avoided being a romantic," admits Beth. "I wanted to write with a broad range of view, not just love songs; more Elvis Costello vinegar and less pop sugar.

Info
At an unlikely gathering of friends at a Memorial Day 2002 picnic, four suburban Detroit (where else?) moms watch as their husbands smoked cigars, talked sports and chased around their hopped-up-on-sugar kids and thought, "yeah, this can't be it". Having heard of an all-moms "battle of the bands" to take place on Mother's Day, 2003, and with some prodding from friends and colleagues, The Mydols were born. Of course, it didn't matter that nobody knew how to play an instrument; it was full speed ahead and never mind the laundry! That Fall, folks around town began to see posters at gas stations, restaurants, soccer fields, bars, bus stations, jails, firehouses and daycare centers announcing 'mom's night out' shows by The Mydols. With only a couple of months to learn and almost master their instruments and style, The Mydols began playing out.

About The Muffs
Kim Shattuck formed the Muffs with bassist Ronnie Barnett, drummer Criss Crass and Melanie Vammen in 1991. After two singles for indie labels Sub Pop and Sympathy for the Record Industry in 1991/92, which generated a large underground buzz, the Muffs were picked up by Warner Bros and subsequently released their powerful eponymous debut album in 1993. Shortly after, Crass left the group and was replaced temporarily by drummer Jim Laspesa for the tour.
After switching to Reprise Records in 1994 and after a year of touring in venues throughout the world, the Muffs headed back into the studio to record the follow-up, Blonder and Blonder released in 1995; now a three-piece due to Vammen's departure.
Right before recording Blonder and Blonder, ex- Redd Kross drummer and longtime Muffs friend Roy McDonald joined the group. Happy Birthday to Me followed in 1997 and two years later in 1999 Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow was released by Fat Wreckords; a rarities collection, Hamburger, appeared in early 2000 on Sympathy for the Record Industry... The Muffs released their new CD Really Really Happy on Five Foot Two Records during the Summer 2004 and toured the US and Japan later that year.

--- ODi Irish Press Release January 2008**
NEW ODi SINGLE “What You Deserve?
Release Date 29/02/08
21 January 2008 - We are pleased to announce that “What You Deserve?, the brand new singlefrom Irish songstress ODi, will be released on 29/02/08 as a digital download through Littlest Mojo Recordings.
Building on the success of debut 3 tracker “Crawl?, the Wexfordian, now based in Leeds UK, spent much of 2007 on the road in the UK and Ireland playing over 100 gigs and building a strong live reputation. This lead to an invitation to support Seth Lakeman at the Beverley Folk Festival.
With a unique and captivating voice ODi`s sound has already been likened to Suzanne Vega, Natalie Merchant and a female David Gray.
In Sept 2007 “What You Deserve? received demo of the week from Irish music guru Jackie Hayden in premier music magazine, HOT PRESS. As a result, ODi entered the studio with producer Karl Odlum (Fionn Regan, The Frames, Gemma Hayes) to professionally commit the track to tape.
The single is released 29/02/08 in Ireland through Littlest Mojo Recordings and available as a digital download from itunes and all major online stores.
A recent review by HOTPRESS’ Jackie Hayden, describes “What You Deserve? as a “haunting song with a simple yet infectious guitar riff.?
After a UK tour in early February including a date at the famous Troubadour in London ODi returns to her homeland to play……….(to fill when we have dates confirmed)
ODi then returns to the studio to put the finishing touches to follow up “A Superman? EP with Ken McHugh (Automata, Juno Falls, David Kitt) at the controls.

Info
As a singer, songwriter and musician the creative edge of Sera Buras, points to this young artists deep roots and colorful background in the American South. An hour from New Orleans, theres a town called Buras, named for her grandfather, who settled there from France. Sera herself was born in the one red light/two convenience store hamlet of Kiln, Mississippi, midway between the Big Easy-New Orleans and Biloxi. Depending on the moment, says Sera, Ill tell people Im from one or the other, - with both towns acting as home base throughout her rambling youth. Music has always been Sera's unstoppable force - her earliest memories involve absorbing it from her parents, both natural musicians. Her Dad is a bluesman at heart who started playing his favorite artists for Sera when she was just a little girl. She grew aspiring to the likes of Al Green, Ray Charles, and Marvin Gayes. Sera's Dad played Bourbon Street clubs as a young man, and her mother pursued a music career in California.

She's tough and smart, a showstopper who toured with Lollapalooza performing on the main stage wearing huge KISS boots and a leather jockstrap filled with lemons, which she tossed into the cheering crowd.
Sophia's talents are not news to her fellow musicians. She's attracted a star-studded list of studio and stage collaborators: Jason Newsted of Metallica; Paul Simon; Karl Wallinger; Billy Bragg; Joey Ramone and Psychotica, with whom she appeared as featured vocalist on their main stage Lollapalooza tour with Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine.
On her stunning CD, "Her Majesty", Sophia confesses loss, struggle, faith and survival with honesty and wisdom.

Alice Smith is in Los Angeles, staying high above Sunset Boulevard at that most iconic hotel of ripened Hollywood sensuality, the Chateau Marmont. Someone asks Smith if she likes it there. "Oh yeah," Smith answers with zero hesitation, "I do."
She has more to say on the subject of the hotel: "Here's the thing," Smith says, "the one room here that I went to is the best room. It's all windows -- you can see all over the hills. It's overlooking the whole city. It's up on the seventh floor, and it's all windows, and they all open." She mentions her dislike of the mysteriously muddy lighting that Los Angeles often cultivates in its interiors. "It's not like that in this room," Smith says. "I hate dark places. I really like to see the sky -- really, really a lot."
Recently turned 29, Smith is, on the evidence of her solo debut, 'For Lovers, Dreamers & Me' (BBE Records), the most promising female singer-songwriter to go her own enrapturing way in a very long time. Her voice, with its four-octave range, is luscious and powerful and nuanced and finely sensitive to rhythm. Yet it never makes a cult of its own abilities; for all its fantastic manners, Smith's voice gets on down the road. Sometimes she sings with a booming intensity, yet Smith never loses the unlearnable balance and poise that separates good singers from great ones. And her basic attitudes, which are audible in every unforced phrase she negotiates, are all her own.

Info
The Hardcore Punk Rock outfit The Distillers first came together in late 1998 when Australian punk Brody Armstrong met bassist Kim Chi at work and realized their love for playing. Soon they hooked up with Detroit guitarist Rose Casper and drummer Matt. Signed to Hellcat, the band issued its self-titled debut in April 2000. Sing Sing Death House appeared the same year, but was re-released in early 2002 thanks to the sudden popularity of "Seneca Falls." By now, Kim Chi had left the group to join Exene Cervenka in her band, the Original Sinners. Ryan Sinn stepped in to replace her; Matt departed to join Chi while Casper left during the height of "Seneca Falls." By summer 2002, the Distillers were composed of Armstrong, Sinn, and new drummer Andy "Outbreak" Granelli; joint American dates with No Doubt and Garbage were planned for later that fall. Guitarist/vocalist Tony Bradley joined the Distillers in time for the recording of their third album and major-label debut, Coral Fang, which was released in 2003 by Sire. For the album, Armstrong reverted back to playing under the name Brody Dalle, following her very public divorce from Rancid's Tim Armstrong that same year. Granelli left the band in early 2005, moving on to play with Darker My Love, and by summer, Sinn had exited as well, later joining up with Angels and Airwaves. Despite rumors, the Distillers, now just comprised of Dalle and Bradley, denied that they were breaking up, instead simply going on hiatus. In early 2006, Dalle had her first child, daughter Camille, with new husband Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. By the year's end, the two remaining members formally announced the band's disbandment and went on to form Spinnerette.

Marita leads a double life: that of a dedicated music teacher by day and a passionate singer/songwriter by night (or any other time she's not working). Raised by music-obsessed parents, Marita begain taking formal piano lessons at the age of 11, and began voice training in her teens. She completed a degree in music in University College Dublin, which exposed her to many different styles of music and composers she'd never encountered before. This eclectic range of musical influences has helped to shape her music into the unique sound that it is. With her unusual choice of chord progressions and lyrical melodies (I haven't even got round to talking about her insightful lyrics yet), Marita Connolly is a voice to be reckoned with.

AGSFB was formed in the summer of 1998. Jen was in the Softies at the time and met Kim at a Softies show at Thee O in Portland Oregon. Kim gave Jen a tape of her band at the time, Cherry Ice Cream Smile. The next day, the Softies left on a six week tour and Jen listened to the tape over and over in the car, and promised herself that she would contact Kim when she got back into town. At the time, indie bands like Cherry Ice Cream Smile were a rarity in Portland, and Jen wanted to make sure that she and Kim stay in contact. They did, indeed, stay in touch, and Kim had a plan; She was also friends with Kathy and Ari, who Jen hadn't met yet. Kim arranged a practice, and that was the first time they all met. An instant friendship was born, and the ladies have been rocking ever since. Late in 2004, Ari had an adorable baby boy and decided that she would like to focus her attention on being a new mom. Kathy, Jen and Kim decided that they would continue playing as a 3-piece band and are currently recording their third album.

From its inception in 1999, Uncle Seth hasn't stopped performing its "exuberant and accomplished mix of pop, rock, acoustic folk, twisty grooves, tender ballads, and pretty melodies, topped off by.rousing vocals" ( PIC Press , Kingston).
Uncle Seth has honed its spirited live performance to "a show , as opposed to playing a list of songs". Forging a relationship with the audience is key to Uncle Seth's success as a live band. "I like that we try to get the audience to engage," says lead singer Amaya Thompson. "A lot of what we do is really relatable." And when halfway through a set the band dons acoustic instruments and parades through the crowd, encouraging them to sing along, they do. And they dance. And they laugh. And when the show culminates in a climactic finish, the audience always leaves grinning.
But the changing music industry has inspired Uncle Seth to be innovative in its approach to releasing recorded music. "MP3 devices have changed the way people listen to music," they explain. "People are downloading, concentrating on songs rather than albums. A big internet trend is podcasting."

Amelia Curran could make an honest run at the title for most resilient singer- songwriter in Atlantic Canada. “War Brides? is her fourth since 2000, quite a feat for the Independent Musician who also adds acting and writing to her talented resume.
If pissed off, lonely, feeling sorry for yourself and missing your home—while not knowing exactly where it is—had a soundtrack, it would be written by Amelia Curran. If the art of making misery and the depth of personal enigma into something that becomes happy and uplifting enough to throw in the odd mandolin lick, Amelia Curran can paint your picture.
Curran draws upon influences such as Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Neil Young. Upon seeing her live, it is impossible not to draw the very same comparison. Usually live, especially live…although, oddly the similarity among these influences remains strongest within her lyrics. Once described as “a performer who can smoke, drink a beer, and sing at the same time…harmoniously?, Curran has that dirty raspy “I’ve been there and felt it? conviction to her songs. There is no putting it on, she is real and she’s here to sing about it. The audience is not left to wonder who these songs are about. It’s her, but it is also everyone. The difference, however, is the crisp and melodic tone that leaves the song humming through your head as much as the lyrics echo through your conscience.

Bio
Kerry Politzer started playing the piano at the age of four. She studied classical piano for fourteen years, attending the North Carolina School of the Arts and summer programs at Tanglewood and Interlochen. She entered the New England Conservatory of Music with the intention of continuing her classical studies, but fell in love with jazz after attending a concert in Keller Hall. She studied with jazz guru Charlie Banacos, who inspired her to begin composing, and graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Piano Performance.
In the past year, Kerry has taken a musical detour from her instrumental jazz roots. After participating in workshops held by the Songwriters Hall of Fame, she has been inspired to write songs with lyrics. Her fourth album, "You Took Me In," features these new songs with a full band including Lonnie Plaxico (Cassandra Wilson, Nellie McKay) and George Colligan, better known as a pianist, on trumpet, drums and synthesizer.

Bio
Intimate, hopeful and wistful; Paula Toledo dreams out loud, poignant melodic-pop/folk songs that weave through life's optimistic restlessness while capturing the innocence of its ripened discoveries. Just short of 2 months after releasing her debut album, 'Stay Awhile' was selected by CBC Radio One's 'Freestyle' program as album of the week. Nationally broadcast on radio and world-wide via the internet, 'Stay Awhile' has found its home with music lovers who are calling it 'an unassuming gem of an album' (sceneandheard.com), 'truly affecting' (CKUT), 'timeless....honest, pure and passionate' (Hallandsposten Daily).
One may call it happenstance that only four years prior, after reaching a state of disillusionment in her life, she would be called back into the world of music & travel to France on more than one occasion. "It was a real turning point in my life. I literally quit my desk-job with nothing else waiting in the wings. I felt so lifeless...so," she laughs, "I took to painting my walls." During the menial task of painting, Paula's voice was heard through the walls of her apartment by neighbors who happened to be French singer/songwriters. In search for a back-up singer, they were intrigued. When they learned that Paula also spoke French, they enlisted her for their French tour.
One could say that happenstance and Paula would meet once again, recently to finish recording & mixing her debut album Stay Awhile in France with Irish producer and ex-Frames guitarist David Odlum (The Frames, Josh Ritter, Gemma Hayes). But upon closer inspection, one will notice a woman who is drawn to discovering and creating all things new.

Bio
The sound profile of electronic pop trio 46bliss is best understood as an entrancing potion that opens you up, enhances your senses and releases you into the world with fresh eyes. Their music has been compared to everyone from Air to Zero7. Not content to merely produce soothing, low-impact electronica, the creative minds behind 46bliss (whose name was inspired by an obscure NYC subway stop) simultaneously address the themes of modern life while transporting you far away from them. Drawing upon a rich folkloric tradition and influenced by a myriad of performers from The Moody Blues and Patti Smith to Aphex Twin, their songs are sonically progressive but rooted in a phantasmagorical sense of the poetic. The voluptuous alto voice of Clare Veniot gives way to a satiny upper register that feels timeless in its simplicity, providing a perfect balance to the technological mastery of vocalist, programmer and keyboardist David Cooper and electronic drummer Jack Freudenheim, creator of ambient music software Sounder.

Info
Keeping her mouth shut is something that ANTI-HERO’s frontwoman Rose Perry has never been able to master. Growing up as a troubled and confused youth, music was the one outlet through which she could gain total acceptance. Never succumbing to negative temptation, Perry sought refuge through her artistic endeavours in hopes that the experiences she went through would one day serve as inspiration for her listeners.
"ANTI-HERO’s music is refreshing. It motivates me to be strong and confident." – Amelia Favata, Creator, ANTI-HERO Streetteam
Never anticipating that she would one day be the leader behind a rock and roll phenomenon, Perry, unlike other rockers, maintains humility and takes the time to show her fans how much they are appreciated.
"Anti-Hero's live shows are loud, obnoxious, a little silly at times ... you can’t ask for anything better than that. Anti-Hero always go out of the way to make their fans feel special, which is rare these days in music." – Patman Coates, Official ANTI-HERO Bitch
Acting as not only a band comprised of four extremely talented musicians, but rather the voice of a generation, ANTI-HERO has captured issues of societal prominence through the lyrics of their hard-hitting catchy rock-infused anthems.

ANEMO began life in September 2002 when Kingsley Sage was auditioning singers for a song writing and recording project. The results had been universally disappointing (to put it mildly), until at the 11th hour a former actress and talented vocalist called Hazelle Woodhurst entered the picture. The two immediately got on well, with their shared love of different types of music and, of course, a good English cup of tea. The two set to work on penning a number of songs that would later become the basis of the ANEMO's first album. They decided that the project needed a rock edge, and to that end guitarist Matt Palmer was added to the mix.
After countless evenings at the band's basement studio in Brighton, the three had amassed an impressive collection of pop-meets-rock-meets-electronica tracks. At this point, the group took on the name ANEMO a word that means "changing forms", to reflect the blend of styles and influences that was brought to the music. The strong vocal melodies and distinctive style caught the attention of Trebor Lloyd, CEO of New York-based upcoming independent record label, City Canyons. In summer 2005 ANEMO signed a 3 album record contract and began to record the final tracks for their first album

A Band Called Quinn was formed when singer/songwriter Louise Quinn met drummer Bal Cooke whilst busking on the streets of Toulouse after running away from convent school. With Bal, she produced music using computer and pieces of bark.
The line up of the band was completed by bassist Steven Westwater, a promising footballer whose career at Preston North End was tragically cut short by a cartilage shortcoming; and trumpetist Robert Henderson - heir to the family forune of a well-known Scottish confectionery company; whose independent means have allowed him to devote his life to studying bebop and growing facial hair.

Cam Brown, Dave Green, Jon Robert, Krystal Rogers, Laura Stevenson and John Tayles. This can all change at any time, so if there's an Artist you'd like to see make an album, get voting now!"*
Horray! You got me to the Top 6!!
But please, keep campaigning to get more voters signed up. Closing date is the 26th November so there is still time for it all to change and go horribly wrong.....
And we wouldn't want that now, would we....?? No. Definitely not.

The Return of Eve Queen of Pain
MainSite MySpace
BIO
This long awaited sophomore release, “The Return of Eve? from Devil Doll, is about to top it's anthematic, best-selling predecessor, “The Queen Of Pain?. Fans will be relieved to find that they can still count on Devil Doll to deliver them sexy tales of heartbreak and lost love, such as "Tortured," as well as many new tales of upbeat, dirty, love-makin' ballads, like "Things You Make Me Do." The songs, "Lord's Prayer" and "Gypsy Bitch" show her fearlessness to dip into the forbidden realm of old school 'outlaw' country proving that country music was indeed originally meant to have an edgy truthfulness.
Devil Doll is also known for her rockabilly restlessness, and she has snarled, swung her hips and left her mark with "Doreen" and "The Curse." Her jazzy, smoky influence seduces it's way into songs like; "The One Who Got Away" and "Heads or Tails," leaving every song on this record dripping with sexy delivery. She has even included a sweat-inducing rendition of "Fever," just to show us how the song was really meant to be sung.
Devil Doll is our modern day torch singer with a punk rock heart and she has signed her name in lipstick on your bedroom mirror.

Blood Ruby creates atmospheric alternative music somewhere in the vein of dream pop, ethereal, and neoprogressive rock. The band's two subtly emotive female vocalists ply a range that spans from lyrical, sweet mezzo, to smoky, jazz-rooted alto, delivering haunting melodies and crafted lyrics full of evocative imagery and cinematic storytelling. Spacious mixing and production lend prismatic detail to the music's lush instrumentation.
The result is a textured, layered sound that takes listeners on an ambient, often dark, and sometimes epic journey through drifting landscapes of emotion, strange places, and complex characters.

There's little chance that you'll hear Natalie Brown sing or speak and not be moved by the refreshing texture in her voice. This emotive Soulful Pop / Contemporary R&B - Singer/Songwriter with a soulful and powerful 4.5 octave range translates her life experiences into songs that inspire, entertain, empower, and provoke.
Artist History
Since the release of her debut album Let the Candle Burn in late 2000, Natalie has performed at venues throughout North America, remained in the top 10 on the Internet's most recognized charts and gained a loyal following of fans. Her single "Run Away" was featured with songs from Major label artists in Promo-Only's Rhythm Radio series. Natalie's songs have been played via online and commercial radio world-wide. Billboard notes her as one of the Top 10 Emerging Talents. Music from her debut has been licensed to Film & TV (NBC, Paramount Pictures, VH1, MTV) and international companies (Colgate-Palmolive) for commercial spots. 'Confused' was an honorable mention song in the 2001 Billboard Song contest and 'Let The Candle Burn' won the Just Plain Folks Music Award for Best R&B Song of 2001. The album was runner-up for JPF's Best R&B Album 2001.
After taking some time off from touring to rest, Natalie returned to the studio to record the 2003 Holiday album entitled "A Cool Christmas", a 10 song Cool R&B/Pop influenced collection of Holiday favorites.
Much to the delight of fans eagerly awaiting new material, Spring 2004 saw the US release of Natalie's singles 'I Wonder' and 'Queen of Me'. The songs garnered tremendous attention and In July 2004, 'Queen of Me' was released by Avex, Inc. Japan on the "Soul Essentials 7" series with songs by Rahsaan Patterson, Earth, Wind & Fire and others. This confirmed Natalie's wide appeal and set the stage for an exciting international career.
Natalie is currently working on her second album of original material.

Seduction comes in many forms. Those who can seduce with style make it seem effortless, unintentional, irresistible. Robin Stine's music seduces with a whiff of subtle perfume and a casual graze of her hand as she walks past, leaving the listener powerless to do anything but follow. As a singer, her voice floats on the stylish edge of contemporary cool—light, but never lightweight. As a songwriter, her enchanting originals set her in the upper echelon of today's songwriters. Born and raised in Kansas City, Robin began her musical journey as a child singing in school groups and church choirs. When she left for college she had no idea that music would take her around the world. For three of her collegiate years she performed with gospel groups, traveling across the U.S. as well as in Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Hong Kong and China. She then moved to Miami in 1996 to begin her graduate studies. During this time she performed with “Mike Suman’s Swing City? and her own band “Simply Stellar? at festivals, hotels and clubs throughout South Florida. In 2003 she moved to Pensacola to focus on the next phase of her musical career—writing and recording her original music.

What is it about Rome that transformed Max and N0emi into total human-defective hybrids? This.. we may never know! In 2004, it was decided that a drastic lobotomy was a last resort to eradicate their chronic allergy to the world..s pathetic artificiality. It was the drive on an immense self-destructive instinct that led both Italian artists to erase their nu-metal past and to give birth to the Electro-Alienating Beat Rock band known as..HELALYN FLOWERS.
In their artistic crusade against narrow-minded absurdity and conceptual restrictions, HELALYN FLOWERS cry out loud for freshness and diversity. And as a result their sound is an exploding cocktail of Max and N0emi..s wide range of influences: from Nu/Goth Metal, Industrial, Alternative, Dark Trip-Hop, Electronic and Synth / Future / Cold Pop. Their alienating attitude renders an innovative mix of powerful drum beats, heavy guitars, sensational female vocals, atmospheric orchestrations, odd synths, pulsating bass, dynamic trip-hop patterns, catchy refrains, acoustic intimacy and other digital asepsis.
By developing a strong and alluring imagery concept and merging apparently opposing genres, HELALYN FLOWERS are bound to become the leaders of a Nu-Electro Rock wave that will shake the foundations of all preconceived musical standards .. let them be electro or metal.
HELALYN FLOWERS for sure have something ..extra.. to offer to shake up the system and their forthcoming debut album to be released on Alfa Matrix, will soon convert all hesitant ears with a more aggressive, catchy and synthetic musical approach than ever before.

Like its name, the band's music is about opposites enmeshing...the organic with the synthetic, the delicate with the abrasive, the dreamy and ruminative with the hard-hitting and confrontational. At times dark and brooding, at times tender and blissful, always searching, ever restless, the songs wander a terrain populated by love, politics, and contemporary society, as lyrics push to the brink of poetry without spilling over.

Shimmering production and lyrics full of imagery make this artist worth putting on your essential listening list. An advanced copy of her full length debut (to be released in October 2007) found its way to the airwaves of XM Radio's highly influential "Radar Report". Music Connection Magazine called Shannon "a gifted and impressive songwriter and performer". LA Times "Buzz Bands" columnist Kevin Bronson has made his way to Shannon's shows.
Performing along with Shannon is her bass player Ben Eisen, who is a member of The Minor Canon, a band from Silverlake that was nominated for best band in LA by LA Weekly.

Touted as “a left-field legend in the making? (Rhythms Magazine), intriguing improvising singer-songwriter Jackie Marshall is "that rare thing: an Aussie original" (The Weekend Australian), and surely one to watch.
Her 2006 debut record "Fight n'Flight" with its alternative folk- and country-influenced “improvised art-house feel? is the only fully independent release to make finalist in Australia's answer to the UK's Mercury Music Prize, the Australian Music Prize.
Renowned for her vocal acrobatics and distinctive delivery style, Jackie was hand-picked by top selling Australian artist Missy Higgins in May to support Higgins on the sold-out Queensland leg of her “On A Clear Night? tour as a part of Australian national youth broadcaster Triple J’s Unearthed series.
She has recently completed a series of performances for iconic Queensland concert series Women In Voice at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre and has recently featured on SBS Television program favourite RocKwiz dueting with Australian music legend Colin Hay.
Jackie embarks upon pre-production for a new album in the coming weeks. This record is slated for release early 2008.

Amongst a music scene filled with pretense, Rotten Cheri keep it simple by writing irresistible, hook laden songs infused with a sense of fun and sensuality that is resonating with a new and expanding base of fans. The Brooklyn, NY rock trio’s new album, 02, is both a statement of purpose and a labor of love that required some very real sacrifices to be made on the band’s part.
The seeds of Rotten Cheri were planted with the partnership of guitarist/keyboardist Kee Chung and drummer Howard Alper. The two were playing together when Howard became friendly with co-worker Stephanie St. Hilaire, who would soon become Rotten Cheri’s vocalist. Recounts Howard, “Steph and I were working at the same gym together and she knew I was working on a project with Kee. She kept bothering me at work, telling me that she could sing. She was so relentless about it that finally we had her rehearse with us – and she was perfect.? Kee and Howard immediately asked Stephanie, a California native, to join the band.
The beauty of Rotten Cheri is that they are the perfect mixture of lightness and darkness – dark enough to have depth and resonance that one can sink into, light and catchy enough that one can forget about the darkness and just sing along to their irresistible melodies and choruses. The band is now working to take their music and career to the next level – to an indie label, to music conferences and to film and television. The more that this band’s music is exposed, the brighter their future will be.

biz needs today." Jasmine's second CD entitled "From
Grey to Blue" is an exciting departure from her previous acoustic work, and shows a level of complexity and maturity well beyond her twenty-three years.

Few bands are more aptly named than The Passive Aggressives. The term itself describes aggression expressed in passive ways, and in many respects, that's how the band reaches their sound. Melodic sounds draw the listener in, a voice coos and then the hammer comes down. It's a sound not easily defined (another passive aggressive move); maybe it can be called "libido rock" or another term never heard before - but the Bay Area based quartet's debut, "Reloaded" is like nothing currently out there -- and they want you to know it.

Born 25 years ago, on an island, in the harbour city of Nanaimo, British Columbia, today Crowe’s force reaches ’round the world.
"Allison Crowe has a voice to fall in love with," says Record of the Day, the UK’s essential music industry news service. "She is from Vancouver Island in Canada, descended from Scottish, Irish and Manx stock. She's exactly the sort of artist who can make serious headway on her own label and that's just what she's doing."
Eight years of connecting with her audience through concerts and touring led the singer-songwriter to Ani DiFranco and Loreena McKennitt as models for creating her own record label. Since 2003, Rubenesque Records Ltd. has released five Allison Crowe albums: Lisa’s Song+ 6 Songs; Secrets; Tidings, Live at Wood Hall; and This Little Bird. Each has earned great critical acclaim and found heart-felt support. A true grassroots success, all of Crowe’s CDs continue to grow in popular appeal - as her music travels globally via the internet and more traditional distribution channels & media.
“The first thing you notice about Allison Crowe is her voice. Rich and dark, it seems to come from a place most singers can only dream of accessing. Then there are the songs. Filled with raw passion and accompanied by Crowe’s eloquent piano playing,? observes journalist Clodagh O’Connell. When this phenomenon ‘from the islands’ initially reached the mainland, O’Connell puzzled over a defining echo: “Elton John meets Edith Piaf??

Influenced by the freedom of jazz and harmony, Stahl describes her music as melancholy pop. "it makes you feel happy and sad at the same time" A native of Cleveland, Renee Stahl began her music career at the age of 10 belting show tunes and writing songs in her bedroom. At 18, an acting career called her to New York City. Once there, she flirted with musical aspirations by joining several singing groups and performing jazz on occasion. In 1992 she moved to los angeles to star in an independent film. As it turned out Los Angeles also provided her with musical opportunities. After a short time, stemming from a private joke she became known as "renee from paris"- the name she chose to call her first band. Renee has sung with Josh Clayton-Felt, Alexi Murdoch, Lili Haydn, Ann Magnuson, Abby Travis, Lizzie West, Jeremy Toback and East Mountain South, among others. The co-producers on melancholy pop include: Andrew Williams (Old 97's, Peter Stuart, Victoria Williams, Scott Thomas Band), Chad Fischer (Alexi Murdoch, Colin Hay, Lazlo Bane) and Dave Dale (Audiomatic). Most of the songs on this CD were co-written with Kevin Hunter (Wire Train, Tuesday Night Music Club). Apart from her love of performing- she finds joy in organizing benefits and events which enable musicians to come together and share their art. Some of these include a season for nonviolence, descendants of the earth (Josh Clayton Felt memorial concert) One look at Renee and you aren't sure if you are looking at an old 40's movie or if she's your best friend from next door. Renee has been seen singing at venues such as......the mint, hotel caf, knitting factory, genghis cohen, the derby, and still sings in her bedroom.

Artist Bio
The child of a Lutheran pastor, Bode grew up in a musical household in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. As a child, she would sneak up to the church’s podium, turn on the microphones and sing to the empty room. Soon she was singing to a full house as part of the church’s choir. She moved to St. Louis while in high school and then began listening to big band music. She became a fan of Les Brown and His Band of Renown with Doris Day and Glenn Miller, Rosemary Clooney, Blossom Dearie, Nancy Wilson and Margaret Whiting.
Active on the trumpet and in student theater, Bode was a creative spirit who knew she wanted to study music in college. She decided to move back to Minnesota to study opera and classical singing at the University of Minnesota but wanting a smaller, more nurturing scene, ultimately transferred back to St. Louis to attend Webster University. She studied with pianist and vocalist, Christine Hitt, a vocal jazz instructor there, who would later sign with MAXJAZZ. Bode joined the vocal jazz ensemble and became enthusiastic about exploring the jazz approach to singing. Impressed by Bode’s commitment, Hitt asked Bode to sit in on some of her gigs and helped Bode adjust to performing live and working with professional musicians.
Bode graduated with a degree in music and foreign languages (Italian and French) and chose to stay in St. Louis to begin carving out her own professional career. Soon she found a guitar player and a bass player and hooked up gigs in restaurants, clubs and for private Fortune 500 corporate events. Bode has performed to packed houses at Jazz at the Bistro, at the esteemed Pageant Theater and with St. Louis native, pianist Peter Martin, at the annual outdoor summer concert at the Missouri Botanical Garden (to an audience of more than 5,000). In addition to Don’t Take Your Time, Bode can be heard on Martin’s upcoming August MAXJAZZ release and on the MAXJAZZ holiday CD, Merry Magic, by Eric Reed.

Australian-based singer/songwriter Melissa Forbes has officially closed the book on her former career as a commercial lawyer with the release of her 2005 debut album “No More Mondays?. Released on her own label Kitten Kong Records, "No More Mondays" primarily focuses on Melissa’s original material but also covers artists as diverse as D'Angelo, Metallica and Michael Jackson. Melissa describes her music as "jazzy blue-eyed soul" and cites such diverse influences as Prince, Diana Krall, Sade, Joni Mitchell, Chaka Khan and Tina Arena.
So how does a commercial lawyer come to make a full-length album of vintage-sounding soul-jazz? “I called the album ‘No More Mondays’ because it’s been a huge transition for me to move from the rigours of a 9-to-5 job to working in the music industry. Not only has it been a change of career but a change of attitude – I’m going to follow my heart from now on,? explains Melissa. “I’ve long dreamed of making an album but this wasn’t going to happen while I was working full-time as a lawyer. I ended up going to the Queensland Conservatorium of Music for four years where I studied jazz and contemporary voice while I continued to do legal work part-time. That got me on the right track.?

Bio
Singer-songwriter, Gypsy creates a unique sound of folk, pop and rock stemming from her rich musical upbringing of Americana roots music. Gypsys songs channel her deep life experiences through poetic lyrics and lilting, beautiful vocals. Growing up in a musical family, Gypsy wrote her first song at the age of five after hearing many of Mom and Dad's living room "jam sessions" with the likes of Tag Lambert (lead guitarist for Bob Wills), and others. Gypsy was inspired to pursue the life of a musical artist after hearing her Moms recordings on the local country stations in Arizona. Also, Gypsys uncle Don Rollins wrote the smash hit, "The Race Is On" recorded by George Jones, Ricky Nelson and The Grateful Dead. Writing is in her blood and deep in her heart.
After attending Arizona State University majoring in theatre arts, Gypsy was accepted into The National Shakespeare Conservatory in New York. She then moved to Greenwich Village and began singing at local clubs and open mics, then moved to L.A. to pursue a career in music and film. She continued to write and record songs, and eventually joined the pop trio, Angels of Ecstasy with Kelly Sullivan and Astrid Plane (formerly of Animotion). She and Kelly went on to form Zuzu's Petalz, performing their music in LA clubs. Shortly thereafter, Gypsy went solo.

Asobi Seksu presents its new album, Citrus, out May 30: eleven slices of guitar-swirling, sweet-and-sour, bilingual dream pop. Frontwoman Yuki’s voice is more assured than ever, swinging from a girlish falsetto to plaintive laments and switching effortlessly between Japanese and English lyrics, all the while anchored by the lush, turbulent guitar of James Hanna. This is the sound of a band coming into its own, and having fun doing it.
Asobi Seksu (colloquial Japanese for “playful sex?) released its debut album in 2004 to significant critical acclaim, winning rave reviews from the New York Times, Nylon, Under the Radar, YRB, and XLR8R, among others; scoring a #1 video on mtvU’s Dean’s List with the song “Walk on the Moon;? garnering a top ten spot on CMJ’s radio charts; and becoming an instant favorite in the NYC scene, playing packed shows at the Bowery, Knitting Factory, and Mercury Lounge.

Sometimes, luck plays a part when a young artist is fortunate enough to achieve a moment in the musical spotlight. For Adrienne Pierce, however, the incredible list of accomplishments that have happened in her young career make one thing very clear: her successes to date are not based on luck. Those achievements are a result of the sheer strength of her artistry as a singer/songwriter, creating a compelling response not just from fans, but also from participating musicians and world-class producers who have joined her along the way.

Bio
Eithne Ní Chatháin is a performing artist whose singing, playing and song-writing comes from the heart and speaks to the heart. A native of Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Eithne is currently living in Dublin. Music has always been a natural part of life for Eithne and for her four talented siblings. Her Grandad taught her how to hold a 1/4 sized fiddle at the age of four. Her gift for singing became apparent from an early age and Eithne began singing sean-nós at the age of ten, learning from her own mother and from recordings lying around at home. North Kildare is not known for its sean-nós singing and Eithne was lucky to receive sound guidance in this art from Máire Uí Raghallaigh, mother of The Ó Raghallaigh family from Co. Meath, a well known family of musicians who taught and greatly influenced Eithne. Much time and effort was spent by Eithne's parents bringing the family all over the country to lessons, festivals, competitions and house parties. In this way, Eithne's talent for performing publicly and communicating through her music developed quite naturally and organically.
Eithne is blessed with a pure and true voice, haunting and very beautiful. She has a gift of interpreting a song and offering it in a beautifully honest way. In the past four years, Eithne has taken to performing a wide range of material as a solo performer and has been exploring and developing her song-writing talent both in English and in Irish. She began singing with fellow Kildare singer/songwriter and friend Luka Bloom in various venues around the country and for a while formed a band together with Luka and two other friends, Bernie Pháid and Claudia Chambers. This experience helped Eithne realise that music was something she especially wanted to focus on. Her vocals and fiddle playing are to be heard on Luka Bloom's recent album 'Innocence'.
Eithne's deep love and connection to the music and language of her country inspires her singing and playing as does her desire to give expression to her own unique voice. Eithne's gig is a wonderfully intimate, fresh and varied experience. Her repetoire includes her own songs accompanied with piano and guitar, beautiful sean-nós songs, fiddle playing, contemporary folk and other music that inspires her. Two years in the making, Eithne's debut album, entitled simply 'Eithne' is a reflection of her varied musical journey to date. It was recorded in Dublin and Lahinch, Co. Clare and produced by Eithne independently. This gem of an album is now available to buy at Eithne's gigs and through this website.

Bio
Steeped in the country-blues and folk traditions of Suzanne Vega and Beth Orton, Tessa Perry is rapidly picking up fans on both sides of the Atlantic. Her songs emerge startlingly fresh … shot through with lyrics that are wistful and punch-in-the-gut candid. Whether playing to a sold-out concert hall, or an East Village dive bar, Tessa spins images and observations of the world around her into soulful, intimate communication with her audience.
Born in England, and raised on the west coast of Ireland, Tessa hit the road in her teens with a dilapidated guitar, three (not to be named) cover songs, and a mind to educating herself. Soon, bored to tears with those covers, she realized it was time to come up with some new tunes … and proceeded to write them herself. Thus began a career that would lead her to performances across Europe, opening for the likes of Ani DiFranco, Damien Rice, the Indigo Girls, the Corrs, the Hothouse Flowers, and many more.
Tessa’s debut recording, Live at DeBarras, was released in 2001 in Ireland to widespread acclaim. The album’s subtly raw compositions, delivered in a boldly improvisational style, were hailed by music critic Cormac Looney as “solemn … heartfelt … neatly funky … shoulder to shoulder with the best of Irish songwriting.?
With the release of her new album, Weightless, Tessa is continuing her path to world domination. Recorded in New York City, where Tessa has found a fertile new home base, the album is a peep into the life of an outsider trying to make it on the inside.
A collection of songs harvested from the rich landscapes that surround her, Tessa’s ‘sweet-as-honey’ voice tussles with some ‘lyrically brilliant’ songs with both hands, and holds them out for you to taste and savour. Co-produced by Brad Albetta, who has recently gained deserved praise for his work with Martha Wainwright, the album is the next phase of her extraordinary career, because ‘it’s the only way she knows’. Stay tuned …

Bio
The first time the members of Guards of Metropolis came together to rehearse, it wasn't in a dank basement, a state-of-the-art recording studio, or any of the other traditional locations bands typically use to hone their musical vision. It was in an abandoned chocolate factory on the outskirts of Oslo, Norway while a furious blizzard raged outside.
Within 3 months of their first string of European concerts, the band left the Old World behind them for a 50 date U.S. tour which quickly garnered them glowing critical reviews, industry attention due to the "considerable buzz" (Hits Magazine) the band was creating, and an enthusiastic public response to their melodic pop rock sound, confrontational lyrics and intense live performances.
Now you can discover what the excitement is all about with the release of their new 4-song EP, "Whatever It Is".
Along the way they've endured immigration hassles, hurricanes, and even a band name change (they first toured the U.S. as Softcore), but they're still the same band:
Two girls from Scandinavia’s Arctic Circle. Two guys from sunny California...
Influences from the laid-back northern reaches of Norway and the frantic West Coast of America collide in a shimmering example of the best that both countries have to offer. A fistful of angst-driven rock and roll riffs tempered by the layered harmonies that Scandinavian groups are famous for lay the groundwork for this rock-pop manifesto. Think ABBA meets AC/DC...and then think again.
Rage never sounded as pretty as it does on this stunning debut!

Bio
If there is some parallel universe in which bands get into the charts because of great tunes and intelligent lyrics, and not just because they are hyped by marketing bozos in suits, Gum would be prime candidates for super-stardom and Leigh Myles would have her face on a million bedroom walls. The band released their debut album 'Low-flying Kites' to very favourable reviews in 2003. Featuring a clutch of great tunes and some spooky instrumental touches, it brought Leighs mellifluous vocals to a wider audience. One reviewer described them as sounding like Hope Sandoval fronting OK Computer-era Radiohead. Now signed to Serali Records, their current mini-album 'Seven Feeble Alibis' sees them move into slightly more muscular territory. Gum songs are usually deep and often brooding, but this album sees beefier epics like 'Beyond the Horizon' and the future James Bond theme 'Cross your heart, hope to die' take them to another level altogether. And through it all, Leigh's multi-layered backing vocals lift the killer choruses to truly dizzying heights. Both 'Seven Feeble Alibis' and 'Low-flying Kites' are available to buy from Serali Records, CD Baby and iTunes.

Bio - (from web site)
Lily Neill is recognized as “…part of the new Harp revolution extolling aspects of harp music never previously heard? (John O’Regan, Irish Music Magazine, June 2005). She performs both her original compositions and the traditional music of Ireland and Scotland on the lever harp and developed her musical style from seisiún playing, an uncommon route for harp players, utilizing techniques from other instruments. Her music is both rich in tradition yet uniquely her own. Both her playing and the music that she writes draw from a diverse range of styles and her interpretations are inspired by her experiences working with artists from many different genres and backgrounds. Lily has won numerous honors, scholarships and awards for her harp playing, including first place as well as additional awards of distinction at the U.S. National Scottish Harp Competition for four consecutive years and a medal at the All-Ireland Harp Competition. More recently, she was named LiveIreland.com’s “2006 New Female Artist of the Year.?
“Without Words,? Lily's debut solo album, has garnered an impressive array of reviews since its release. “Hot Press,? Ireland’s essential guide to music, gives “Without Words? an 8 out of 10 and writes of Neill: “The CD reveals her to be far more than the superb technician she undoubtedly is.…? Sweden’s “Hallandsposten? gave it a 4 out of 5 and calls Lily’s music, “a thrilling journey across the Irish tradition.? America’s “Celtic Beat? writes: “Without Words could only better be entitled Beyond Words. One word for this CD is exquisite. …this music goes far beyond simply artistry of execution and aesthetics, for it reaches out and entices you into Lily Neill’s world.?
Lily has performed at numerous concert halls and festivals in the United States and Ireland, including The Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage as well as its Concert Hall with The Chieftains and the late Derek Bell in 2001 & 2002, Wolftrap Center for the Performing Arts, the University of Limerick Concert Hall and Strathmore Hall where she was Artist in Residence in February 2007. She has also performed at The Potomac Celtic Festival, the Washington Irish Festival and the Irish Arts Festival in conjunction with the Embassy of Ireland. At the age of fourteen, she performed for President Bill Clinton and was a featured soloist in the American premiere of John Cameron’s “Missa Celtica?. Lily has also appeared in film and on television and radio: RTE/TG4’s “Ardán? and “Ceili House? (Ireland), Lähiradio‘s “Folk and Roots? (Finland), BBC’s “Late Junction? (U.K.) and NPR’s “Traditions? (USA), among others.
Lily Neill recently completed work for her degree in Irish Traditional Music at the Irish World Academy at the University of Limerick, Ireland. She also spent a semester studying music at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland. Lily is currently based in Limerick and continues to perform, teach and record in the United States and abroad.

Liz Seaver, a 20 year old singer songwriter from Skerries, Co. Dublin, began gigging with her material at 16. Liz began working in a local music centre called Troy Horse after attending one of their well known Songschool workshops at school. Here she gained confidence musically and began to learn the skill of recording and live performing with the co owners, Peter Baxter and Chris Teusner as mentors. Her first major gig was a support slot for Damien Dempsey some other supports include Albert Niland, Mickey Harte and John Jorgenson.
Liz's other ventures include playing with local bands, most memorable being The Wonderbraz on bass. Liz also accompanied Matt Lunson on piano and vocals for a time, which took her to venues such as The Spirit Store in Dundalk and Crawdaddy of Harcourt Street with supports including Dave Geraghty (BellX1) and Ollie Cole (Turn).
Other venues Liz has played include the Temple Bar Music Center, Whelans, Eammon Dorans, the Village, the Hub & Slattery's of Rathmines.
In 2005 Liz began with the assistance and guidance of Peter and Chris to put together and record her debut album 'til the day fades in' using their studio and knowledge. Currently Liz is gigging accompanied by friends Sharon Hussey on fiddle and whistle and Eddie Scanlan on bongo, bringing her album to life acoustically.

The Hedrons music is decidedly one part Ramones-esque brawn, one part femme-fatale roar, and one part ruthless guitar-driven nerve. Or as lead guitarist Rosie humorously puts it, "If you listen to us, you wouldn't realise it was girls until Tippi starts singing - you'd think it was a bunch of big hairy guys playing." And although the girls would personally describe their sound as the modern love child of the Foo Fighters and Joan Jett, they would also say that the very same is proudly godfathered by Iggy Pop & The Stooges.

Mixing sunny upbeat sounds influenced by the likes Fleetwood Mac with a darker edge influenced by the likes of recent Cardigans albums, Sharon Reid appeals to fans from those who love story driven songs to those who just want a catchy melody! She has fronted rock bands but also has studied singing, with a particular interest in Italian opera, this is why so many people from many different backgrounds are instantly intrigued by this Irish singer songwriter/musician.
Writing on her own or co-writing and performing for people is what she does and loves best. With an upcoming album of well crafted songs, Reid looks set to make a mark on the music scene.
After lengthy stints fronting various bands and having completed projects with musicians from the US and Europe, fans are delighted to hear that she has now undertaken her own solo projects, just Sharon and a piano! And now, that extra special treat of her singing a cappella is a rare find.
Sharon Reid has always managed to identify with her audiences and captivate the most diverse of musical tastes.

from Laura Stevenson Hi all,
Unfortunately I've just heard that Kate Walsh's management have organised a support artist for all of her Irish dates, so I will no longer be playing on Wednesday (tomorrow) at Auntie Annie's.
But never fear, people! If you are free tonight you can still catch me opening for Basia Bulat at the Speakeasy Bar (QUBSU, starts 9pm, cost £6.50).
And hopefully I'll get the old gig list filled up with some even more impressive shows for your listening pleasure asap.....
Cheers,
L x

Info
Rebecca's first stage experience was appearing as a special guest at Vicar Street at the age of 13. It was love at first sound. Since then she has been gigging as often as possible in order to maintain and nurture this performance addiction. In 2004, her first EP entitled ' Everything is music' was released independently. This is for sale so for info email rebeccasvoice@gmail.com. She considers herself as much a lyricist as a singer and enjoys the challenge of writing songs in different styles, which makes her difficult to categorise as she moves easily from Rock to Blues to Country to Swing! Sometimes she writes with herself in mind, sometimes the song would be suited to another singer entirely and sometimes they are definitely 'Stage Musical' oriented. She currently works professionally as a busker for Dublin markets, singing feel good cover songs and loves seeing people out enjoying the music.

Sue Brady
Sue studied Music at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth where she obtained a BA Hons Music and MA Music (Historical Studies). She studies voice part time at the Royal Irish Academy of Music and has recently participated in masterclasses with Nicholas Clapton, Emma Kirkby and Evelyn Tubb. Classical; Choral scholar at Christchurch Cathedral, Animae acapella vocal trio, Lute songs with Chris Goodwin & Jeni Melia. Jazz; Fuzzy Logic Ensemble
Dylan Rynhart
I have been writing seriously for about five years, though I have always written music. I write for and run FUZZY LOGIC ENSEMBLE a ten piece jazz orchestra, though in the last few years I have received various other commissions for both Jazz and contemporary classical music and also film and theatre.
In October 2005 I was awarded The Guinness Cork Jazz Festivals “Best young Irish Jazz Artist? award, this was the inaugural year for this award and it was presented by BBC Radio Producer Keith Loxam and Jazz Legends; David Amram and Jon Faddis.
In the Irish Examiner, December 2005 I was voted 26th in a list of the top 50, most influential people in the Irish music scene. The reason that was given for my inclusion in this list was, “Exceptional young talent“.
I can't really describe my music because i find it difficult to step back sometimes, but i have received some reviews, so I’ll include them here
Fuzzy Logic Ensemble
FUZZY LOGIC ENSEMBLE is probably the most ambitious jazz group currently based in Ireland. With 10 of the finest young Jazz and Classical artists from Ireland and England coming together to perform the music of composer Dylan Rynhart.
Since it was formed in 2002, this hard working group that has developed a style of their own, setting them apart from most Jazz bands with the flexibility and sonority of their unique instrumentation, and the orchestral harmony and rhythmic Balkan influence obvious in their music. Comparisons have been made to the music of Thad Jones and Kenny Wheeler.

ABOUT REBECCA
Rebecca Hart is a musician and actor based in New York City. She has been juggling life/work in theatre & music for as long as she can remember. We've temporarily separated the two for you (not an easy task!) below so that you can read about the Hart that interests you the most.
MUSIC BIO: Small Girl * Big Voice * Fast Guitar
Hart received her first guitar as an unsolicited 12th birthday present from her parents. Music was a fairly private affair for the very prolific young Hart until the formation of her first band, the Rebecca Hart Project, at Brown University in Rhode Island. The "folk-jazz-rock" RHP built quite the local buzz in Providence, earning "Best Female Vocal" and "Best Song" nominations from the Providence Phoenix and playing theWBRU Rock Hunt Finals before leaving en masse for Los Angeles. In LA, RH focused solely on music, honing her now-celebrated live act with a steady stream of gigs, and writing more and more under the band's changing influences. By the time Hart decided to leave LA, she had recorded & released three independent EPs: 'Swallow the Moon', 'the Rebecca Hart Project', and 'Sigh'.

Songwriter with Country/Folk influences. I like to enter song contests and have had some positive results - but have yet to actually win!!! 2004 Honor award in The Great American Song Contest. 2005 Finalist in the Clonmel National Song Contest. 2007 Short listed (to 33) in the RTE selection process for Eurovision 2007. This was a major result for me and I was very pleased that my song got this far.
Music from Promonet Ioda Alliance
Artist - Suzie LeBlanc from Canada
Info
A roots album from Baroque soprano Suzie LeBlanc. Acadians are French-speaking Canadians from the Maritime provinces, with a culture quite different than Quebecers and other French-Canadians. Longfellow wrote a famous poem about the deportation of the Acadians from the Maritimes to Louisiana during one of the many 18th-century wars between the British and French. 'Cajun' comes from the Louisiana pronunciation 'Acajun' .
The Acadians who remained in Acadian after the deportations - or returned — have lived next door to Scots and Irish Maritimers (some of whom still speak Gaelic), so there is a strong Celtic flavour to go with the 17th-century French dialect.
Among the musicians in the period instrument band are Chris Norman — one of the stars of the original Dorian Recordings - and baroque violinist/Celtic fiddler David Greenberg, a former Tafelmusik soloist who originated Marquis Records' hit 'Bach meets Cape Breton' about 10 years ago.

Bio
Deirdre's music career began in 1996 when she was welcomed into the exclusive Irish choir An..na, where she soon became a prominent soloist in concerts all over Europe. She featured on their album 'Behind the Closed Eye' with The Ulster Orchestra.
In 1997, she was chosen by Michael Flatley to be the soloist in his smash hit sensation 'Lord of the Dance'. Cast in the role of 'Erin the Goddess' she performed extensively in the United States, South America, Canada and Mexico to great critical acclaim.
Early in 2002, she featured as the soloist with respected Irish/American pianist Eily OGrady on her sell-out US tour, paying tribute to Eily's late husband, Frank Paterson. On her return Deirdre joined forces with the legendary Dionne Warwick and completed a sweeping tour of the UK. She recently sang with rising star songstress Julie Feeney, on her Irish tour.
Most recently Deirdre has been touring the USA as a soloist in the new hit show 'Celtic Woman', the album of which remained at the top of the World Music Charts for over 82 weeks, earning Deirdre both a gold and a platinum disc from EMI/Manhattan Records in the process. She left the show in February 2006 to complete her new self-titled album 'Deirdre Shannon' and to persue her own solo career.
'The Prayer', one of the 13 songs on her album, just picked up an award for 'Track of the Year' from the massive internet radio station http://www.celticradio.net/. Another prize winning song from her album is the Irish classic 'She Moved Through The Fair'. Scottish radio station 'Lochbroom FM' recently proclaimed it 'Track of the Year', while the entire album was named 'CD of the Year' by the radio programme 'No Celtic Boundaries'.
Immediate plans involve touring Holland, the US, Canada and the Middle East with the 'Celtic Tenors' to promote this multi-award winning album. Check out her official site at http://www.deirdreshannon.com/ to learn more or to purchase this wonderful album!

Bio
October 2006 Independent Irish Artist MAJELLA MURPHY BIOGRAPHY With her guitar strapped to her back Indie singer - songwriter Majella Murphy cuts a curious figure as she zooms through the streets of Dublin on a skateboard almost as big as herself. The second youngest of seven children raised in Kilkenny one of Majella�s earliest memories was her first day at school at the age of 4; the children were asked to either talk or sing � Majella chose to sing and standing on a table proceeded to sing �The Streets of London� over and over and over again! Majella never got the hang of school, to put it in her words she �couldn�t fit into that box� she did however excel at Art and Sport, she also did well in music before getting kicked out of the class. Majella could never make plans for Tuesday afternoons � while the rest of her school mates were off enjoying themselves her Tuesday afternoons were always booked for detention. It was during these detentions that her Vice Principle recognised something in her and encouraged her to write � she became a prolific short story and poetry writer. As well as detentions she had a fair few periods of suspension perhaps the most controversial reason was when she and a friend polished off two bottles of altar wine and ended up in Accident and Emergency. Majella grew up listening to the music of her older brothers and sisters � Tracy Chapman, James Taylor, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, The Indigo Girls and loads more. At the age of sixteen she was given her first guitar and music completely took over, she taught herself to play and started writing songs. She played with other people � watched, listened and learned, she started busking and playing in bars. Day jobs have included working on a Christmas Tree Farm��..in January, Barmaid, Mac Donald�s Assistant and perhaps the pinnacle of her career managing to work her way from Trainee Manager to shelf stacker in a leading supermarket chain. The jobs she has enjoyed most involved working with children, she has an empathy with them perhaps because she is a child at heart. A true free spirit - Majella once went to Cork for a day and ended up staying for four years � she now lives in Dublin. On her debut album �Brave New World� released on CD and download on November 3rd Majella sings about real life regrets, joys, hopes, disappointments and aspirations in her versatile, pure yet powerful and beguiling voice, often with a hint of humour. Songs such as �Lunchtime� a poignant modern love song, the happy, carefree, optimistic �Dreaming� and the powerful �Mary Jones� where Majella sings of Mary�s insecurities, her hiding from the world and pleads with her not to give up, assuring her there is hope and she is not alone � Majella believes there is a bit of Mary Jones in all of us. Majella is an intelligent songwriter and charismatic singer with a definite glint in her eye. There is a lot more to come from this wonderful singer, songwriter and performer. �A great new talent� (Jimmy McCarthy) BRAVE NEW WORLD DEBUT ALBUM FROM MAJELLA MURPHY CD AND DOWNLOAD RELEASE 3rd NOVEMBER 2006 For More information: Josephine Nestor: 086 8176015 / josephinenestor@hotmail.com Well, that seems to be me.

Grushenka began writing songs when she was 16, but it was not until the age of 21 that she would perform them in Public. Since then, Grushenka has been performing and playing in bands while constantly writing new material. She played bass with a local covers band called Off the wall for two years before deciding to perform as a solo artist. This led to Grushenka winning the 2004 Battle of the bands/singer/songwriter competition as well as various other talent contests. Her first demo was recorded in 1999 followed by her EP in 2005. She is now working towards recording an album before leaving Canada.

Kimberley (Blonde,19) and Michaela (Brunette,17) are two sisters living in Dublin. They began their musical journey at the ages of four and six playing the fiddle and whistle and singing with a local Irish music group. From here they progressed to classical training with Kimberley on violin and Michaela on piano as well as playing the fiddle and flute with Clontarf Comhltas. As they reached their early teens, they chose to develop their love of singing and Kimberley began writing songs, while Michaela discovered her natural talent for harmonising. With many influences in the pop industry they began to develop a unique sound suitable to this genre.
To date they have written over thirty songs and are constantly composing new material. They have just completed a four track demo and their first photo shoot in the hopes of propelling their career to the next level.

Bio
Louise was born and raised in a field in Co.Mayo. At the tender age of eleven she wrote her first song and hasnt stopped writing since,her hand hurts. After school she moved to Dublin to take on college..this lasted ten weeks!After dropping out and wandering back to her field she heard of a voice coaching course in Dublin. She auditioned... and got in.score. She stayed here for a year having singing lessons and working in a recording studio. Her first demo was recorded in Novembr 2004 containing three original songs. This got sufficient airplay but not alot else. Feeling a little pissed off she once again wandered home to tend to the cattle. She recorde two more songs in 2005, one of which is called "Devil" and is featured on this page. It got great airplay from local stations and had a more defined sound than the first demo. Lets not talk about the other song she recorded.. its woeful. After a year she got incredibly bored and decided to move to Galway. She had great ambitions of starting a band and getting her act together.. instead, she got lazy,sold shoes and partied too much(how can you party too much?!). In the dark of the night she she filled out an application form for Csn college, Cork. She auditioned (with a song she finished writing on the bus journey there.. she is oh so organised)and much to her surprise they let her in. Bye bye Mayo,bye bye Galway. Helloooo Cork. She is now studying Music,Management and Sound. She is rehearsing with her college band and is still writing. God Knows where she will be next year. The featured songs: "Devil" is recorded in Chilli studio with the band "Franklin". It was written by Louise Cunnane and Shane Cunnane. "June" and "Lie Alone" are roughly recorded home demos. "June" was written in July but Mundy stole the name. This was written by Louise and Shane again. "Lie Alone" is more recent and was written by Louise Cunnane. Guitar playing by Shane in both songs... enjoy

Bio
Although her core instrument is acoustic guitar, Karen’s music is very different from that of most acoustic artists. Her strong guitar style has an edge that compliments the power of her mesmerising vocals and strong lyrics. The intensity of the songs together with Karen’s ability to draw you in will put you in a front row seat while experiencing this intense thriller. Together with her band they have taken influences from the likes of Ani Difranco, Led Zepplin, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and many more… and have created a new and interesting fusion of sound that is very distinctive. Karen's stunning debut album "No Lullaby" is out now it is accompanied with a 36 page full colour, hardback, bound book containing the lyrics and some cool pics and artwork. You can check out a virtual version on her website www.karenhegarty.com and www.subterrarecords.com where you can also buy the album from the online store...

Influences
In songwriting I really admire Fiona Apple, cause every song of hers is a piece of art. She uses so many different sounds and elements... I’m also in love with Michelle Branch’s ‘Hotel Paper’ and Christina’s ‘Stripped’ album. But then again I want to do my very own thang! :)
Sounds Like
I want to do music that reflects my soul and it’s really important for me to be who I really am. I can be very flexible and try new things, but I could never compromise what is in my heart. I usually try to express my feelings, certain moods and experiences... it often starts off with diffuse streams of consciousness taken from my diary - my guitar ‘Travis Fimmel’ as well as my keyboard ‘Doug Pickett’ help me to express my feelings and make it easier for me to bring the message across. I have only just started doing sort of my own music. I know exactly what kind of music I’d love to write and I have loads of ideas. Now I only still have to put all my ideas, all those colours and shades, into real songs and there are still a lot of things I can’t wait to learn. :) I would love to give it an oriental touch, I love the craddles of guitars and I have a passion for latin flavoured music. Then again I want to combine it with lots of other sounds, like Jazz-, Soul- and maybe even Blues-elements. I'm working on it =)

Ok here goes, I grew up in Dublin, Ireland, in a very musical household (my father being a violin teacher!) moved to maynooth to become the much loved stereotypical arts student (studying music . . . and beer!) for two years.
It was there that I first performed at the NUIM singer songwriter night hosted by Paddy Curley (thank you bren!). It was at this s/s that I met many talented musicians such as Kevin and Ebby Brett, Catherine Ferris and Anthony Kelly. Moved down to Galway for a year to write music and busk for a living! performing regularly at the Monroes and Warwick singer songwriter nights hosted by Kevin Brett.
During this time I also performed at Scribblers wine bar/cafe both as a solo act and in a jazz duo with Ebby Brett. I then moved to Sydney where I played regularly in venues such as The Vic on the Park, Kellys on King and The Marquee and i also recorded my album full of lots of luverly sad and depressing musics while eating pie.
now . . . i'm back in galway helping to run People In The Moon Records Ltd. with the afore-mentioned Brett brothers and gigging around Galway in places such as De Burgos, Richardsons, the Rowing Club, the Cellar, the Roisín Dubh, and BK's Wine Bar. I also have gigs coming up in Dublin so watch out for them!
Every so often, I'm lucky enough to support Cuckoo Savante. They're a fantastic band, do check them out if you see them playing around Galway.

Bio Singer-songwriter. Ana Mae hates this phrase. “I write songs, I sing them, but I’m definitely not a singer-songwriter!? she explains. Are the first signs of insanity beginning to show? Definitely not. “I grew up listening to my dad’s Blondie and Pretenders albums? adds Ana, “Chrissie Hynde and Debbie Harry are great songwriters, they sing great songs, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them being referred to as singer-songwriters.? We know what she means.
Not afraid to pin her pop sensibilities to the wall, Ana Mae writes powerful pop songs with an emotional edge. Obvious comparisons can be drawn from her above-mentioned childhood influences but modern comparsions are often made with The Cardigans. “I’ve always loved catchy songs. Songs performed with real instruments and real bands mean so much more. I’ve never wanted to perform on my own, playing live with other musicians is what it’s all about.?
This brings us on to the The 442s. Her brother John Gillespie (electric guitar), Chris Darragh (bass) and Darrell Nelson (drums) are the chosen 3. “We’re all from the same small border town (Castlederg, N.Ireland), we all went to the same primary school, there wasn’t really anything we didn’t know about each other.? Says Ana. "They're all really good musicians, and they add energy to the songs. The world has enough twee females making depressing music."
"Songs such as Marry Me and Stay are ready-made radio hits" - AU Magazine .
"They are a great looking band with Ana Mae looking for all the world like a young Chrissie Hynde" - BBC Northern Ireland.
"Lazy beats, countrified hooks, and memorable melodies beautifully sung by the equally beautiful Ana Mae" - AU Magazine .
"this band could produce something worthwhile." - BBC Northern Ireland.

Lovely Singing, Good Songs, a Joy to hear" - Christy Moore
"She paints pictures with her words" - Frances Black
Briege Murphy was born and reared in the village of Forkhill in South Armagh, in the North of Ireland, where she still lives with her husband and two daughters. Briege grew up on a farm within a large family steeped in the musical tradition. Her mother Brigid was, unwittingly, a collector of songs and stories. Her brother Brian, a well-known traditional singer won the Ulster Championship for traditional singing numerous times. So it is no surprise that music plays a big part of Briege’s life. As a teenager Briege joined her local branch of Comhaltas and often sang in their renowned sessions which is so typical of the Irish scene today. A few years back Briege began to write her own contemporary folk/country ballads and when a demo of two of her songs were played on a weekly BBC Folk Programme, listeners were asking for more. She was persuaded to get her collection of songs together and record an album herself. The album “The Longest Road? was released to critical acclaim, followed by “The Sea and other Songs?, which was named as one of the albums of the year by Folk Roots magazine. Her third album “The Elm Wood? was welcomed and greatly appreciated by a steadily growing fan base. In September 2004 Briege releases a new album entitled “From Now On?. On this album she returns to her roots and sings songs that she grew up with, combining her love of Irish traditional and American folk. Briege has performed at festivals from Cambridge to Cork and Oslo to Ballyshannon. She continues to write and sing at festivals, art centres and folk clubs or anywhere a good ballad is appreciated. Her songs have been recorded by artists like Niamh Parsons and Frances Black amongst others. In November 2003 Briege represented Ireland in an International song contest in Holland, singing one of her own compositions in Gaelic, coming 5th out of 70 bands across Europe.

MySpace
Info - Clare Cunningham is an up and coming artist and a musical force to be reckoned with!With a powerful, distinctive voice this girl certainly does not need a mic, at the best of times!A singer/songwriter from the tender age of 14, Clare has been penning songs for nearly 6 years now. Curiousity took her to the piano at 7 years of age and is now Clare's main instrument, although, in an effort to add 'varity' to her sound, Clare began to teach herself the guitar just over 2 years ago.She leaves herself open to, but defies stereotypes. Her desire to sing has never ebbed. It is the proficiancy in her playing that sets her playing which sets her apart from many of her female contempories. Clare draws influence from such diverse sources as Cheryl Crow, Oasis, Greenday, Fugees, Aretha Franklin and Garth Brooks. Clare has currently brought out a self titled compilation cd of 6 songs consisting of her own material...although not in shops,we hope to watch out for this space...!

Artist - Valerie Hely
Track 1 - All is not what
Track 2 - Same Age Difference
Track 3 - Space
MySpace MainWeb
Info - Valerie's musical background ranges from Rock to Baroque and Hip Hop to Pop. She started by busking on the streets of Galway before joining an originals rock band called "Voice of Cheese" for three years. Following the band splitting up, she joined a trip hop band called "Kinetic" in Sydney for several months. As well a stint as a singer for medieval castle banquets and as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator, Valerie has followed many varied musical paths and tastes. However, she has always found time to write and record her own songs which she enjoys above all the rest. She sings about space, people growing up too fast, rushing and shopping trolleys. Her efforts in the past have brought her airplay in Australia and Ireland plus meetings with Mute records in London. A recent move to Cork city in Ireland has re-ignited her passion for singing her own songs. After experimenting on her 4-track for a couple of months, she has decided that she's happy with her new songs and hopes that others can enjoy them too. Valerie also features on several tracks on a new album by up and coming Dublin band Groom. She performed with them as a guest vocalist at Vicar Street, Dublin in November '06 when they supported Jeff Tweedy (Wilco).

Within The Loaded Whispers there is no false artistry, merely vessels through which sound and ideas travel freely. The creative outpourings of The Loaded Whispers will communicate perhaps without ever being fully understood. There are no divisive strands contained within The Loaded Whispers. Respect will not be given freely - it must be earned. Sounds will caress and nurture. Words will seek and strive to be heard. There will be no easy listening. Each creation will demand full attention from the participant.
There will be no confusion. There will be no fear. Unconditional love is the only reward.
Thank you for joining in. Stay tuned.

BIO
Marie Keane began gigging with a blues rock cover band at the age of 17. Having performed in nearly every reputable venue around Dublin for the last 7 years inlcuding The Sugar Club, The Gaiety, The Village, The RDS, The Bleu Note and Temple Bar Music Centre with various original and soul/funk cover bands - no one can doubt the experience and ability this vocalist has achieved in performance. During early 2006, Marie for the first time began vocal coaching, where her voice really began to fully blossom, under the tutelage of Honor Heffernan, Irelands leading Jazz vocalist. Marie formed a trio inlcuding Eoin Grace (trumpet) and Donal Sweeney (bass) during the summer of 2006. Eoin and Marie have worked together for the past two years in covers bands and decided in the early months of the summer of 2006 to launch this original project - something Marie has wanted for many years! She then contacted Donal when he was highly recommended to her and when all three met up for the first rehearsal, no one could over look the obvious fact that something really brilliant was waiting to unfold. The first step was taken when four original tracks written by Marie were recorded in her basement over September and October 2006 with Eoin (a qualified sound engineer) producing and mixing the EP. The trio worked closely together to arrange the tracks to their full potential and rehearsed a 45 minute set of Maries original songs during that time while putting together a full visual show set to perform. This is the initial stage of a well planned musical project. It is worth waiting for its development into a mutli-functional art. Music is an extension of life, allow it unfold in its natural way.

Bio
Following a two-year period of playing venues around Belfast, local singer/songwriter Laura Stevenson is finally receiving recognition in NI's music scene. Fans include Radio Ulster's Gerry Anderson, who has recently been giving 'Just Beyond My Reach' (from the 2004 EP 'Down') frequent airplay.
At the centre of the music is her voice - fragile, ethereal, haunting - providing an apt vehicle for songs which betray a rare kind of honesty. Stevenson doesn't shy away from wearing her heart on her sleeve in her songwriting, something fans tell her they appreciate. The songs are carefully framed with her trademark cascading piano lines.
Influences include Sarah McLachlan, Juliet Turner, Patty Griffin and Sheryl Crow, but comparisons reveal little about Stevenson's unique direction. Live sets include interpretations of songs by artists she admires: Radiohead, Iain Archer, Chris Isaak and Bill Mallonee, amongst others.
Currently sought after as a vocalist and songwriter, Laura Stevenson is continuing to play local venues to an ever-widening fan base. A five-track EP is due for release this summer.
Inhabiting the space where catharsis meets redemption, this is music to break your heart.... or maybe to heal it.

Her earliest musical influences were sounds of Makem and Clancy, Planxty or Bob Dylan being played by her parents as they drove around the Caribbean island of Trinidad where she lived as a child. She moved to the Middle East with her parents and this is where she took up the guitar, singing and writing songs. After completing her secondary education Irish went on to the Ballyfermot “rock School? for 2 years where she studied musical performance as well as the practical side of the music industry. The school had its own small record label and star students were awarded a release on the label. 1996 saw her based in Sweden to start what would be a 4 year tour of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and the U.K. She also started work on her debut album “Republic of One? which she recorded in Bohus Studios just outside Gothenburg, Sweden. In 2000 she moved on to Australia where she quickly established a large and loyal following. Again festivals and some large support slots would follow. 2003 saw the release of “Appreciate? on Myth Records. It was recorded at Planet Studios in Subiaco Perth Western Australia. Irish was in the studio again June 2006 to finish recording her new album “Fallen me? with Paul Mills at the Millstream Studio in Toronto, Canada. She has played all over the world sharing stages with such artists as Tom Paxton, Paul Brady, The Dubliners, and this summer saw her sharing the stage with some of the top Canadian acts.

Hi all!
Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday and a Happy 2007!!!
As we have told you previously, Sirocco have been in transition the past year, working on a new direction here in New York City. We have put together a little video of our progression as we become DEFY*. We are very sorry if the Sirocco fans will be disappointed, as we haven't put a video together yet of us performing our Irish songs. But we will work on it this year to be able to put it up on this site. We thought you may be interested to see our progress and transition thus far.....so have a look and tell us what you think!
Hope we all have a great 2007!!!!

Bio Well seeing as there's only two of us this will be kinda short! Me and Martin have been playing together since about 2001/2002?? Most of the time we just jam in my apartment and record as we go... Our album " In a Room" was recorded at my home on Martin's 10 track so we had alot of fun making it : ) Unfortunately we haven't gigged in a while, so we're mainly a recording band working on our next album. We both work, and Martin is studying sound engineering in Pulse Recording so we do our best to manage working and recording. That's us I guess!! Until I think of something else more interesting!!

Track 2 - Rinn Thu Eudail Mo Mhealladh
(my darling, you deceived me).
Track 3 - 'S Olc an Obair do theachdairean cadal
(It is ill work for messengers to sleep)
A man was sent to fetch a wife for his wife who was in labour. He had to cross a ford to get to her, but when he arrived at the ford the tide was in. He sat down to await the turning of the tide, but when he was awoken by a fairy singing this song, the tide had turned and come back in again and his wife, tragically, had died in childbirth. The lovely tune belies the tragic tale behind the song.

Bio
Margaret Stewart is considered by many to be one of the finest traditional Gaelic singers in Scotland today. She was born and brought up on the Island of Lewis, which is part of the Outer Hebrides (a string of islands on the west coast of Scotland), in a community where Gaelic was the universal language, save for the schoolroom.
She has sung all her life, having been surrounded by music and song during her formative years, and singing has always been a passion and a pastime. Margaret's singing is rooted in the traditional, melismatic style of her home island and in the fifteen years since she became a professional singer, her reputation as an exponent of sean nos (the traditional Gaelic singing style), has grown apace. She has spent the past fifteen years performing, researching and teaching Gaelic song, and shares this knowledge with many current singers and with students of Gaelic song at Celas in South Uist; Sabhal Mr Ostaig, (the Gaelic College on the Isle of Skye); Feis nan Oran (Gaelic song festivals which have taken place in Lewis and in Skye), the Willie Clancy Summer School in Ireland, and the School of Excellence in Traditional Music in Plockton, Ross-shire.
She has released two albums with piper Allan MacDonald, 'Fhuair Mi Pog' and 'Colla Mo Run', both of which are now considered classics in the canon of British folk music. These two albums were produced by her great friend Iain MacDonald (brother of Allan) who is himself a native Gaelic speaker, renowned piper and flautist.
As a native Gaelic speaker, Margaret has an innate understanding of the complexities and nuances of Gaelic song, and this she fully demonstrates in her, regretably rare, performances. Her diction is pure, her ornamentation free-flowing and un-contrived; and the conviction with which she delivers a song leaves no Gael in any doubt that she is one of the finest exponents of the genre.
Margaret's forte is the traditional a-capella singing style, but also performs with some of Gaeldom's finest musicians.

Bio
Niamh Parsons has come to be known as one of the most distinctive voices in Irish music. Her voice has drawn comparisons to such venerated singers as Dolores Keane, June Tabor and Sandy Denny. The great Scottish balladeer Archie Fisher said of Niamh, "a songstress like her comes along once or twice in a generation."
It has been said that Niamh Parsons may not be the most famous Irish Balladeer, but many feel she's the best. Described in the Boston Herald as both emotionally haunting and tonally as clear as crystal, Niamh's albums have been 'must-have' collector's items for any lover of songs and singing. Niamh has recorded six studio albums and one live album to date. For the last 7 years, Niamh has been playing in a duet with Ennis-based Graham Dunne—there is a spiritual bond between Niamh and Graham when they perform, which draws out the essence of the songs.
Growing up in Dublin, Niamh's music loving parents brought herself and her sister to the local folk club in The Old Shieling Hotel in Raheny, where the young girls were exposed to songs and singing from the likes of The Johnstons, Emmet Spiceland, Sweeney's Men, Dolly McMahon, Danny Doyle and many of the other musicians and singers that were playing in Folk clubs at that time. "My father was a great singer, and on long journeys the family used to sing in the car—I don't remember a time in my life when I was not singing—I love songs."
Niamh developed this love into a penchant for collecting songs. She is always on the lookout for songs that speak to her—listening to new albums, scouring the Traditional Music Archives in Dublin, sharing notes with a network of friends and other singers. Once she discovers a song she likes, Niamh views herself as the vehicle for the music. "For me the song is more important than listening to my voice," she says. "I consider myself more a songstress than a singer—a carrier of tradition."

MySpace
Bio Emma Cunningham is a singer, musician and songwriter from Dublin, Ireland. Spoon-fed on a diet of rock, folk, country and trad, (she is named after Emmylou Harris) and surrounded by music from her very beginnings, the path she would follow seemed pre-destined! As a child she loved her recorder and piano lessons, her various Bontempi organs, a xylophone, making up stories, writing poems, acting out plays, dressing up and performing for anyone that would listen. She won her first prize for singing when she was 10 for a duet with her younger sister of the Mamas and Papas song California Dreamin. Her love of all things musical grew even more and a trip with her parents to see Emmylou Harris in the National Stadium when she was 12 only fuelled her passion. It was her mother who was the first to take up guitar lessons in the house and shared what she had learned after each lesson. Emma was hooked, and on her 15th birthday was given the offer of a holiday in Italy or her first guitar as a present - the choice was an obvious one! Over the years her record collection grew, and diaries, books and school journals were graced by her favourite lyrics. Her school graduation became the public debut for one her self-penned songs. A job in a music shop opened her up to a world of musical opportunity. The wealth of music at her finger tips provided many new influences and the new contacts and friends she made set her on the road to regularly performing in Dublin. Her world revolved around (and stills does) everything musical and she learned the art of recording and producing her own sounds. She began seriously writing her own songs and music and had every opportunity to mature as a singer and performer during this time. She also turned her hand to a bit of promotion when she set up her own singer/songwriter nights (Acoustica) which gave new acoustic acts the opportunity to play more than the usual two or three songs afforded to them by open mic / talent nights. Her growing presence on the circuit attracted the attention of Hot Press and lead to invitations to perform on radio shows including 98fm, Anna Livia and Near FM and her song Sometimes being featured on Phantom fm. This year Emma fulfilled a major dream of hers when she performed 3 gigs in Nashville, Tennessee. Emma performs regularly in some of the many venues Dublin has to offer. Live, her set comprises of original material and she always throws in a well-chosen cover version. She spends her time writing, gigging, collaborating, recording at home and updating her self-designed and administered website. She is also a student of Film, Literature and Drama in Dublin city....be sure to leave a message if you like what you hear!!!

BIO
Someone wrote the words "go little book go". I want to rephrase it and say "go little song go" see to me, songs have lives of their own, the good ones at any rate); spin their webs and catch moments, memories, emotions, and people too. Some songs are small and shy like a nervous child that suddenly breaks into a smile when you least expect, and some bully you out straight up. Some you don't hear from for ages, and then you realise what you have been missing. Life is great its full of ups and downs and isn't it great we have music to carry us through no matter the occasion. Yes I do have family they put up with me lol, they're fab, the closet being in Fermanagh and the rest scattered all over the show the same goes for my friends. Playing for a while now but been getting into the whole song writing thing since about 15 but it was my 1st year at uni when I started to take it a bit more serious even though I wasn't taking other things so seriously.. lol, I have wrote quite a few all in the making of course! These are the two I have recorded so far. Played quite a few lives mics in Stirling and a Graduate from Stirling University in 2005. Starting to get into the music colour scene here in Edinburgh so expect to see me around. So have a wee listen tellis what ya think pass a comment am maybe someday we can share a drink. hey hey

Bio Edwina Hayes is a singer/songwriter who has been a regular performer on both the London and Nashville Acoustic scene since 1999. Born in Dublin on 6th June 1973 and raised in Lancashire, Edwina's beautifully crafted songs and mesmerising stage presence have led her to some of the UK's finest stages including The Royal Albert Hall in London and The Usher Hall, Edinburgh.
Dividing her time between the UK and America, Edwina's second home is Nashville where she is much loved on the Songwriting circuit and has been a regular performer at The Bluebird Cafe, 12th & Porter, Brown's Diner and the (much missed) Sherlock Holmes on Elliston Place.
In March 2003 Edwina signed as a writer with Warner Chappell. Her influences include Ray Charles, Carole King, Van Morrison, Nanci Griffith, Richard Thompson, Patty Griffin and Bob Dylan, and one of her dreams is to be the opening act on Bob Dylan's Never-Ending Tour.
As well as writing on her own, Edwina enjoys co-writing with her friends such as Carissa Broadwater and Malcolm Darwen and has also co-written songs with writers that range from UK writers Boo Hewerdine (Patience of Angels - Eddi Reader) and Ricky Ross (High - James Blunt) to Nashville writers Don Rollins (It's Five O Clock Somewhere - Alan Jackson/Jimmy Buffet) and Bobby Wood (Talkin' In Your Sleep - Crystal Gayle).
2005 has been an amazing year for Edwina as she released her debut album on the Warner Brothers label and had one of her songs chosen to go on the No.1 bestselling CD 'Acoustic Love'.
Also in 2005 Edwina toured the UK for the first time with some fantastic artists including; Jools Holland, Van Morrison, Nanci Griffith, Ricky Ross, Loudon Wainwright III and Daniel Beddingfield.

Starting out in the hotbed of talent that was the singer/songwriter scene of the late nineties and playing the streets and venues such as the International Bar, Whelans and Da Club, Dublin born Sinead Martin was regarded as one of the brightest sparks on the scene. The eponymous demo she brings forward now is one of the finest and most inspiring collections of songs anyone is likely to hear. Clear to all who listen, is the sumptuous beauty of Sinead Martin at her best. Sinead has also lent her sonorous voice to ‘Living’, Paddy Casey’s platinum selling album; her exceptional backing vocals can be heard on the two standout tracks, ‘Lucky one’ and ‘Miracle’. Clearly, the best Ireland has to offer, agree Sinead Martin is a special talent as she has been invited to both support and perform alongside Damien Rice (Homecoming Tour, Vicar St.), Paddy Casey (Irish Tour, “Living?), and Mundy to name but a few.

BIO
BLACK DAISY are Lesley-ann Halvey (L.A.) lead singer and electric guitar, Steff Caffrey lead guitar and backing vocals, and Audrey Bridgeman on drums. BLACK DAISY were formed three years ago when lead singer L.A. left her home town of Limerick with the intention of joining a Dublin based rock band. Curious to check out the gigging scene in Dublin L.A. visited a number of music venues around the capital, on one of her outings she spotted something very rare indeed,"Steff" a female guitar player who could put it up to any man on stage! Blown away by Steffs' guitar playing L.A. made a point of staying around to meet her after the gig, as L.A. spoke to Steff they found they had a lot of common interests, a few tipples later the pair had decided to form a band of their own, except with a little twist, they would only seek other female musicians to complete the line up, so they cast out their net and found the rhythm section of the band soon to be known as BLACK DAISY.
With the line up complete the band retreated to the rehearsal room to find their own sound, this however (as with every band) did not happen over night and the band had their ups and downs, a couple of memorable points would be when they appeared on M.T.V's "Breaking Point", a program about rising stars.

Reviews
"Autumnal Homecoming has a hushed magical quality, like sitting around a campfire in the wood and watching through the tops of the trees the sparks disappear into the stars.The nagging emotional pull of Darkness and Fire is the sound of resignation made elegiac."

Bio i've been playing guitar for nearly four years, and writing music for about a year and a half. so far i have a handful of songs i like, and even more songs i don't like.. so after months of planning, i decided to borrow a friend's laptop and record a few songs. i did it in under an hour. the recording's called "climbing up the walls" and has ten tracks. my plans are to just post up tracks on the internet and see what the general consensus is - that's the great thing about myspace music and bebo bands, they're a great place for bands looking for interest and people like myself, i mean i'm only 17 i'm hardly looking for a recording contract! i just want to make music, it's all good to me! i've tried uploading tracks to myspace but so far it hasn't worked, so if you want to hear some songs head on over to http://liviflynnmusic.bebo.com where i have 9 tracks up available for listenage. cheers!

Bio Úna OBoyle is perhaps best known for her work with ambient-trance-dance band Hyper[borea] a duo consisting of haunting, evocative, Gaelic vocals.in a blurry miasma of bizarre sounds, weird grooves and achingly beautiful vocal performances Olaf Tyaransen, Hot Press. In 1997 she received a Heineken/Hot Press Music Award and has released four albums and an EP with her most recent release Gaelactica receiving much critical acclaim. A stunning performance of OBoyle writes an Irish Times review of her performance with Hyper[Borea] in Whelans last year, who wove a spell visually and vocally. During this time Úna has been writing and developing her own solo sound. Songs such as Fish Dont Sigh, Síocháin, Frozen (Deamora), and Infectious are already well known around Irelands more acoustic venues. While working diligently on the developing sound of Hyper[Borea] Úna O Boyle has been exploring her own highly original solo work attracting curiousity from songwriters across the globe for her ingenious songwriting and performing talents. Tony-Clayton Lee of the Irish Times proclaims her to be a potential star in the making and "one of the more intriguing music propositions doing the rounds." Songs from piano classics to magical mystery world to good ole fashioned pop bring you to the several different worlds in which Úna delves. Únas music consists of lyrical mind journeys, melodies-to-die-for with piano and hypnotic percussive accompaniment and soundscapes designed to gently penetrate your skull.

Bio I'm an Dublin born singer-songwriter and self-confessed late-developer, now living in Freiburg, Germany. After years of hiding behind bands, wishing I was Janis Joplin and trying very hard not to be so damned "nice", I've finally made peace with my voice and my undeniably suburban Irish musical roots... "Relative Calm" is the result. It's my first solo album and I hope someone out there likes it! Happy listening... Oh, and if you'd like to get a copy of the new album, you can order it via www.maevekelly.de xM
New Album "Relative Calm" This is essentially a solo project, but I had lots of help on the new album: Guitars and sounds - Jens "Big Doc" Lucht (musical partner, surrogate brother, coach and general pain-in-the-ass); Piano & backings - Jan Ullmann (our talented diva who is now concentrating on his own band: check out their great sounds at www.wilson-music.de); Bass - Ingo Rau (also producer and friend - but somebody give that man a decent meal...); Percussion - Mourat Coskun (award winner and all-round good egg); Violin - Catherine Bottomly (close girlfriend and orchestral sex goddess); Viola - Daniela Dieterich (a young lady with balls); Cello - Anne-Katrin Beller (a realy sweetie and a thorough professional); Low whistle and Irish bouzouki - Gerry Murray (an old mate from university with his own successful musical career: www.gerrymurray.com); Extra backings - Sascha Bendicks (find out more about this gorgeous man on www.die-halbe-wahrheit.de)

Selling their bottled sweat and locks of their hair have proven to be their money makers so far, but in the future: dolls, pee chees, lunch boxes and bed sheets (with sixtydeadkids logo on it) are in the works. From the wonderful offices of Shut Eye Records world headquarters our talent agents Ricky Ray Rector and Tim Gein have treated the boys good. SIXTY DEAD KIDS are currently working with them in the recording of "REFLECTIONS IN MY MIRROR SHADES". Samples of the work done so far are available for download from this site. SIXTY DEAD KIDS!! sound like: The Pixies doing Black Flag impersonation of Iggy pop covering Echo and the Bunny Men.

Most of the time we just jam in my apartment and record as we go... Our album " In a Room" was recorded at my home on Martin's 10 track so we had alot of fun making it : ) Unfortunately we haven't gigged in a while, so we're mainly a recording band working on our next album. We both work, and Martin is studying sound engineering in Pulse Recording so we do our best to manage working and recording. That's us I guess!! Until I think of something else more interesting!!

Bio A graduate of the Music, Management and Sound course at Ireland's own rock school - Coláiste Stiofáin Naofa - Jennifer has been writing for only two years and yet her music has already been met with critical acclaim and taken the airwaves by storm. Her debut single 'Right Back At The Start', which was launched by singer/songwriter Sinead Lohan, was play-listed by over twenty radio stations, including Today FM and RTE Radio 1. The single, produced by Declan Sinnott, was co-written by Jennifer and Chris Ahern. It immediately generated huge interest, resulting in her playing Special Guest to Ronan Keating at the Marquee, Cork last summer, at '02 in the Park', Dublin and securing a national distribution deal with RMG Chart Records where the single went straight to number 2 in the Bestsellers Chart. Jennifer's second release 'It's Alright' has outdone its predecessor with airplay and is now part of WLR FM's 'Power Play'. Jennifer is currently recording her debut album with Producer Bruce Brody (Pulp Fiction, Maria McKee, Patti Smith, U2 Elevation Tour) due for release in the autumn.
Her influences come from a wide range of music including artists from the seventies such as James Taylor, Carol King and Joni Mitchell, the eighties 'techno-era' such as Michael Jackson and George Michael and more recently Alison Krauss, Suzanne Vega and the Dixie Chicks.
Jennifer is no stranger to the stage and has been performing regularly for the past two years in venues such as The Lobby, Triskel Arts Centre, Cyprus Avenue, Cork City Hall, the Galway Film Festival, the Hilfiger Sessions in Crawdaddy, Dublin, the Marquee and 02 in the Park, Phoenix Park. Jennifer's single 'It's Alright' is available at Virgin Megastore and HMV, Cork and online at www.cdbaby.com

All the music and lyrics are written by Abigail Smith. Words and music
copyright Abigail Smith 2006.
Influences Abigail Smith is an Irish woman on a mission to get songs from her insides out to the outside. A melody will appear in a dream and be on her lips in the morning. Picking up the mic she will repeat it so that these songs from another place can be heard by all. Often an emotion is stirred by a mundane event or occurrence in daily life. These emotions are then translated into a song or a piece of music. She has played inside other peoples music for years and now her own volume is louder than the rest so she has to even it out again. Abigail has learnt so much from all her teachers and from everyone she has interacted with. She hopes that her expressions help other people to find their own voices too. Music is a wonderful medium which bypasses language and superficiality. It allows all that is wondrous and beautiful to shine through.

Bio Lauren and Jess are 2 former members of a once very popular 4piece band. Starting out aged 12, they performed gigs all over Ireland and recorded their first CD in 1999, which caught the attention of several major record labels. However, it seemed that this was not meant to be their time; the band fell apart at this crucial point in their career, and Lauren and Jess pursued solo careers in the years that followed. In 2004, they reformed as a duo and bounced back better and stronger than ever, and quickly began writing new songs, recording demos and gigging locally. Interest in the girls' music quickly returned, both from the public and from people in the industry. Many now await the release of the girls' new professional EP, provisionally entitled 'No place to Hide.' It is due to be completed in September, and you can pre-order your copy now via email. Roughly recorded versions of their songs can currently be heard here on myspace. You can also vote for your favourite by clicking on the poll below.

Bio I am an independent artist and I really think the Internet is such a wonderful thing for the likes of myself and other Independent artists. Songwriting is an art form, there will never be enough music in this world, and creating it can bring so much satisfaction, even if it is never heard by anyone but is creator. I have been bruised and battered along this musical journey to date - but I get back up and try again, try again, try again.......Nothing comes easy I know. But I have also had some of the most amazing and wonderfrul experiences through music and have met such great people too. To be honest if it wasn'f for all those great people who come to my gigs and listen and enjoy my music, well, i don't think it would all be worthwhile. The highs are so high and the lows so low - I suppose that is ok as I am a Libra. I won't go on, that is a basic run down, hope you like what you hear, and if not, I won't hold it against you, we all have our own taste! Peace to you all Una:)

So I picked up a guitar and here I am. Going to have some songs up on the profile very soon.... Played in London, Greece, Cork ,Limerick, anywhere I've been living. Now i'm back in Cork which is my soul home and I'm feeling it's time to blast onto the outside world and throw my songs out to the universe and hope they don't come back all covered in green stuff.... This is me, my songs speak for themselves and hopefully they will stick in your mind or touch a chord in the soul....bittersweet but hopeful! Listen well, Jen.

Bio Well i'm 18 and began vocal training at Waltons school of music learning from various teachers in both my vocal technique and theory. Under the influence of my previous teacher, Lorraine Cotter, I passed my vocal examination in the Royal irish Academy with a distinction. During my study at Waltons I took part in many concerts and recitals such as the Waltons Christmas Concert which was held in the Bank Of Ireland artâ??s centre. I continued my singing at Waltons until I was accepted by Dr Veronica Dunne and have been a pupil of hers since. I have performed at many concerts including The Marine Hotel variety show, The Good Neighbours music concert and regularly perform at Weddings, parties etc. During April last year I was accepted by the Irish Youth Choir. I was awarded a solo and we performed two concerts in christ church cathederal, waterford and St Caniceâ??s Cathederal, Kilkenny. I was very fortunate to be accepted as one of 5 to study at The Royal Irish Academy. I have preformed in various recitals held in the Academy. I entered Feis Ceol this year with two of my fello classmates from the Access Course as a trio. We preformed â??lift thine eyesâ?? from mendelson and â??he who shies at such a prizeâ?? from Gillber and Sullivan. We were awarded second place. We have since been asked to preform at St Patrickâ??s Cathederal on good Friday. I am a member of Dunboyne musical society, we will be preforming a Rogers and Hammerstein compilation which will be an irish premiere. I am a member of the Royal Irish Academy choir, we have performed Mozartâ??s Requiem and Bachâ??s Cantata in The National Concert Hall and a separate concert in Limerick.

Bio The Cherries Bio. The Cherries began life in May 2005 as simply two lovely Meath ladies and a piano called Nina. Established by Gemma Mcgowan of Kells and Joanne Kieran of Mornington, who randomly met at a party one night, the Cherries were originally a jazz/blues duo called Circus and played their debut gig supporting Mark Geary at the Junction Festival in Clonmel in 2005. They became The Cherries after their first gig in Droghedas, Solas in Sept 2005, earned them a two month residency, which gave them a great opportunity to hone their skills as a band. Theyve been gigging regularly around the North East ever since to delighted audiences. Kierans virtuosso playing and her deep rich vocals combine beautifully with McGowans lighter vocal touch and wild dance moves. Their trademark switching of registers sometimes leaves the audience baffled as to whose singing which line. After numerous line up changes, some minor dramas and with the addition of drums, guitar and Cello, an Austria snowboarder and a Drogheda bin man, who's a real SCHMOOTHAY, the past nine months has seen the Cherries transformed into a funk/blues/rock five piece who are not afraid to throw a little sleazy cabaret into the mix(just wait until you give Stella a listen!). With an original repetiore of over twenty songs the Cherries are on the verge of recording their debut single over the next couple of months, with hopefully an album by the end of the year.

Bio I think it all began when I was about 6 and my sister took me into Tower Records and shoved a Jane's Addiction CD in my hand and gave me the money to pay for it so that I could feel like a big girl. After that, I knew music was what I loved. I'm the youngest of 5 children which means that I've been listening to so many different types of music all my life, and reading books that probably arent meant for 10 year olds. My brother was really into The Jesus and Mary Chain and the Cure while my sisters listened to stuff as varied as EMF and Joni Mitchell and The Smiths. So its a mixed bag really. I started playing guitar when I was 15 after begging my parents to get me one and I never really looked back. I started writing my own songs and playing live about 2 years ago, when I was in college, and I won the Whistler's Singer/Songwriter Competition in March 2005. They gave me a day in a recording studion as a prize, which is where the demo came from. It's fairly simple, cos at the time I didnt really know what sound I wanted, but I think it stands up ok on its own. Anyways...thats pretty much it. Have a listen to the demo and tell me what you think...happy days...

Bio
Raised in Conna in Cork in the South of Ireland, Nicole Maguire grew up in a big family and was surrounded by music since childhood. Being raised by a strong musical family exposed Nicole to such luminaries as Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and Joni Mitchell, artists that have later formed the song writing basis for her songs. As well as Jazz, Blues and Folk music Nicole's sound is also heavily influenced by contemporary artists and cultures of today. Having already played to capacity crowds in such venues as The Lobby Bar, Cypress Avenue, Nicole recently played her biggest crowd to date at Cork City Hall. Nicole has recently finished recording her debut single with respected Irish producer Karl Odlum (The Frames, Gemma Hayes) and is gearing up for release in early Spring 2006. Nicole's sound is a fresh, appealing and innovative approach to music's strongest roots.

Bio - I'm a dublin based singer/songwriter in the process of setting up a new band. I play guitar and do open mike nites at thomas reads on Monday as well as having done support acts for bands like The Red Lemons and The Offbeats. My music is pretty commercial pop/rock with uptempo stuff as well as melodic ballads. I recorded Byron recently its a song I wrote about Byron as a place and a moment I shared with someone there. Its starts out slow but do listen to it all and let me know what you think! Joe O' Gorman and Jonathon Black were accompanying me on the guitar and drums and Shane Cullen produced. I've taken the rap out of Help Me Out as promised but had to put it up as a new song. Finally the new band is practicing for a full set, be a little while before our first full gig but stay tuned.

BIO
Spent six months feckin around in germany studying multimedia, got back in march...but normally i go to Cork Institute Of Technology. Ill be starting my final year in October:(.
As to when this music thing began i couldnt give you a time and a place. I suppose its always been in the works! With three older brothers who were all involved in music and writing their own material, there was no escaping it(not that i wanted to). One of my earliest memories is of lying awake in bed listening to my brothers band practice downstairs....
It took me a fews years to develop any kind of voice to speak of. When i first started to sing all i could get out of me was a squeek. Got my first guitar around 14 and started writing my own songs around 18, im 21 now. The first song i recorded properly was 'Nothing to Fear' in my brother Ian's home studio outside London the summer of first year(2004). The rest of the songs were mostly recorded by me with a crappy computer mic.
So let me know what you think and i you want to listen to the rest of my demos, check out monkeyswhodream.com- the independant artists collective

I love Bob Marley, Erykah Badu, Nina Simone, Amel Larrieux, Sheila Chandra, Nitin Sawhney, Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, Camille, DJ Shadow, The Beatles, Ben Harper, John Spillane and so much more...

Artist
Emma Cunningham
Emma Cunningham is a 24-year-old singer/songwriter from Glasnevin in Dublin.
Listing artists such as Morrissey, Emmylou Harris, The Divine Comedy and Suede amongst her influences, she has been writing lyrics and singing songs since the age of twelve and has been gigging regularly on the Dublin circuit for the past four years.
In this time she has played regularly in venues such as The Hub, Whelans, The Haâ??penny Inn, The Exchequer Bar, the Isaac Butt, and Slatteryâ??s of Capel Street. She has performed both as part of open mic sessions, as an opening act for local bands, and in her own right at her own headlining gigs.
Live, Emmaâ??s set comprises mostly of original material with a few well-chosen cover versions (from such unlikely bedfellows as Elliott Smith, Pulp, Sam Browne and Tim Buckley). Second only to her vocal and songwriting talent, is Emmaâ??s knack of taking someone elseâ??s song and making it her own.

Band
Someday
Someday have been performing their intelligent blend of mellow rock and moody female vocals around Ireland since early 2001. Although they originally formed as a three-piece based around the songwriting of Kathryn Williams, they felt that an extra instrumentalist was needed to fully develop their musical ideas. The line-up now consists of Hugh Denman (drums), David O?Brien (acoustic guitar and vocals), Daniel Frazer (bass and vocals) and the original Kathryn Williams (electric guitar, piano and lead vocals). They like to think they live in the musical wilderness somewhere between Aimee Mann and the Breeders.
Songs:
Rooftops in the rain
Strawberries in Summer
