Wed, 2 December 2009 ![]() Music supplied by ArielPublicity Group - Jessie Murphy in the Woods Track 1 - New York City Lights 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.

Wed, 4 November 2009 ![]() Music supplied via IodaPromonet Group - The Hermit Track 1 - It was a better time 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. from "Turn Up (The Stereo)" (So Called Recordings) from "manoeuvres 1 - a collection of vancouver electronica" (So Called Recordings) from "Turn Up (The Stereo)" (So Called Recordings)

Wed, 28 October 2009 ![]() Music supplied by IodaPromonet Label Slumberland Records Group - Liechtenstein Track 1 - Roses in the Park Shows in November
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". from "Survival Strategies In A Modern World" (Slumberland) from "Survival Strategies In A Modern World" (Slumberland) from "Searching for the Now 5" (Slumberland) Irish language social network - AnLionra Comments[0] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Mon, 12 October 2009 ![]() music supplied by IodaPromonet Group - Dragonette Track 1 - I get around from "Galore" (I Surrender Records) from "Fixin to Thrill" (Dragonette Inc) Info 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).

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... 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.

Wed, 30 September 2009 ![]() music supplied via Mevio Artist - Tallulah Rendall Track 1 - Black Seagull Get the music from CDBaby
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’.

Of these women are: Candy Diaz Yasuda: a singer/song writer with a penchant for old torch jazz 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.” Irish language social network - AnLionra

Fri, 25 September 2009 ![]() music supplied via IodaPromonet Group - ApSci Track 1 - Big Adventures
ApSci ApSci 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.

Tue, 22 September 2009 ![]() Artist - Elle Stevenson New Album 'Coming Home' out this week Track 1 - Almost Forgiven Get the music from iTunes or AmazonMp3 Info 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.

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.

Sat, 29 August 2009 ![]() music supplied by Mevio Artist - Amanda Duncan Track 1 - Billy had to dance Get the cd from CDBaby Info 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.

Wed, 19 August 2009 ![]() Music provided by IodaPromonet Artist - Sharon Lang Track 1 - Gypsy Sluggards New Album - Lovers and Thieves 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.

Fri, 31 July 2009 ![]() Group - Moth Complex from Ireland Track 1 - "Learned My Lesson", which is the lead track from our "Error 256" EP 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).

Wed, 29 July 2009 ![]() Group - Psychedelic Disco Angels Jersey City, New Jersey Track 1 - Evil House Get the CD from CDbaby 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.

Tue, 14 July 2009 ![]() Music supplied via Mevio Artist - Amy Courts Track 1 - Company
Get the music from CdBaby 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.

Wed, 8 July 2009 ![]() music supplied by ArielPublicity Artits - Cupero from New York Track 1 - I've got your number Get the music here Info 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.” Irish language social network - AnLionra

Mon, 15 June 2009 ![]() music supplied by ArielPublicity Group - PuppetBox Track 1 - Blue or Black Get the CD from CDBaby here About 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. Irish language social network - AnLionra

Tue, 9 June 2009 ![]() Music supplied by IodaPromonet Artist - Kristeen Young Track 1 - Fishnet Get the Cd here
from "Breasticles" (Tony Visconti Productions) from "Enemy" (Tony Visconti Productions) info 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.” Irish language social network - AnLionra

Thu, 14 May 2009 ![]() Music supplied via Ariel Publicity Artist - Jennings Track 1 = Doorway Get the music from CDBaby 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. Irish language social network - AnLionra

Fri, 8 May 2009 ![]() music supplied by PodShow Group - Soraia Track 1 - Had Enough Buy the stuff here Sue Mansour: Vocals
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….”

from "Spilt Milk" (Sugar Rush - Sol Records) from "Spilt Milk" (Sugar Rush - Sol Records) from "Spilt Milk" (Sugar Rush - Sol Records) 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. 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.

from "Patience" (Skywriting Records) from "Patience" (Skywriting Records) Info 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.

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.

Wed, 8 April 2009 ![]() music supplied by PodShow Artist - Robin Stine Track 1 - daydream Robin was on SpudShow194 Buy the music from CdBaby or get some free tracks here 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.” Irish language social network - AnLionra

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wed, 28 January 2009 ![]() music supplied by IodaPromonetAlliance Group - Bitter:Sweet Track 1 - Waking Up
from "The Remix Game" (Quango) from "The Mating Game" (Quango) 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).

Tue, 27 January 2009 ![]() music supplied by ArielPublicity Artist - Chrissy Coughlin Track 1 - Back to You Buy the music at CDBaby Info 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. Irish language social network - AnLionra

Tue, 16 December 2008 ![]() music supplied by ArielPublicity Group - Wendy and LIsa Track 1 - Invisible Get the music here Info 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).

Tue, 2 December 2008 ![]() Heard about Kelly from ArielPublicity Music supplied by PodShow Artist - Kelly Richey Track 1 - What in the World Get the music from CDBaby
“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.

Tue, 25 November 2008 ![]() music supplied by ArielPublicity Artist - Miranda Vettrus Track 1 - Book of Lies Buy the music here 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.

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.

Mon, 13 October 2008 ![]() Artist - Odi Track 1 - Superman Info 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.

Along the way, the hard working Wexford woman has played over 200 gigs across the UK, Ireland and Germany.

INfo 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! new Irish language social network - AnLionra PodCampIreland 2008 this Saturday 27th September in Kilkenny 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

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. new Irish language socila network - AnLionra PodCamp Ireland in Kilkenny 27th September 08 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

Mon, 25 August 2008 ![]() music supplied by ArielPublicity Artist - Carrie Rodriguez Track 1 - She Ain't Me CD due out in September 2008 watch the web sites. Info 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.”

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.

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...

from "Looking Forword Looking Back" (Motema Music LLC) from "Lucky 7 - (Digital Bonus Version)" (Motema Music LLC) from "Lucky 7 - (Digital Bonus Version)" (Motema Music LLC) Info "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."

Mon, 14 July 2008 ![]() music supplied by ArielPublicity Artist - Lin McEwan Track 1 - Rest of Me Get the music here Info 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.

Fri, 27 June 2008 ![]() music supplied via PodShow Artist - Tara Lee Cobble Track 1 - I Wonder Buy the music from CDBaby Info Southern-born, New York City-based Tara Leigh Cobble has spent the past eight years building an indie empire, and it runs as fast and direct as a subway train. 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. Last year found her contributing to The Voice (Thomas Nelson), The One Year Life Verse Devotional (Tyndale), and Songs From The Voice, Vol. II: Son of the Most High. Whether playing, leading worship, or speaking at a conference, TLC has a phenomenal ability to disarm any audience with her quick wit and engaging stage presence. She casts a lasting impression amongst fans and critics alike and has participated in 1,700+ events for singles, college students, women’s groups, and youth groups across 42 states. And she’s only just begun. new social network as gaeilge - AnLionra 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

Thu, 26 June 2008 ![]() music supplied by IodaPromonet Group - Dandi Wind Track 1 - Balloon Factory Info 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.

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. new Irish language social network - AnLionra 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

Mon, 23 June 2008 ![]() music supplied by PodSafeAudio artist - Meagin Donovan Track 1 - Brainwashed Buy the music from CdBaby 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. social network in Irish - AnLionra 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

Tue, 17 June 2008 ![]() music supplied by PodShow Artist - Laura Lambert Track 1 - I Need the Rain Info 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!” AnLionra - new social network in Irish 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

Mon, 9 June 2008 ![]() music found on PodSafeAudio Artist - Ruby Shuz Track 1 - Bitter 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.

The band's self-titled debut album 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 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.

Wed, 4 June 2008 ![]() music supplied by ArielPublicity Group - Twilight Dementia Track 1 - Lullaby Buy the CD from CDBaby Info Twilight Dementia’s music is a testament to the strength of partnership and that the whole is often much more than the sum of its parts. Their debut, self-titled album, Twilight Dementia, is a bold and daring statement of purpose that demonstrates the group’s unwillingness to play anyone’s game other than their own. The Washington D.C. based duo’s engrossingly atmospheric and ethereal rock is the product of a duo that seemed destined to find each other. 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. 2008 Internation Year of the Potato New Irish Language social network - AnLionra

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.

Thu, 29 May 2008 ![]() music supplied via IodaPromonet Artist - Lori Michaels Track 1 - Get it through your head New CD available from ReformRecords 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.

Thu, 22 May 2008 ![]() Group - Jezebel from Norway Track 1 - My Phantom Limb If you want to buy any of the cds, please send an e-mail to jezebel@jezebel.no to order. Info 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.

Wed, 21 May 2008 ![]() music supplied by Uhort in Norway Group - Acelsia Track 1 - All for You Get the music from BlastMyMusic 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. 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

Mon, 19 May 2008 ![]() music supplied by PodShow Artist - Rosey Track 1 - Love Buy the music here Info 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. ” 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

Mon, 12 May 2008 ![]() music supplied by IodaPromonet Group - Clair Track 1 - Every Day Buy the music from CougarLabel
Clair 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. 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

Wed, 7 May 2008 ![]() Artist - Christine Deady Track 1 - Fumbling Gigs
Info "Christine Deady knows how to take a song and give it a good night out, or in" (Jackie Hayden, HOTPRESS Magazine). "Christine's hazey stage presence, smokey poetry and husky voice combine to enchant and entrance any audience. Undoubtedly, a very bright future ahead for this talented songstress" . 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! 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

from "Innerside" (Noir) from "Reminiscence" (Noir) from "Reminiscence" (Noir) Bio 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.

Wed, 9 April 2008 ![]() music supplied by ArielPublicity Artist - Kalliopi Track 1 - Fire and Sea Buy the CD from CDBaby Bio 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. 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

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.

from "Boomerangs & Seesaws" (Saint Cloud Records)
Go out and buy the music from CDBaby Bio 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.

Artist - Liz Davis Track 1 - In Here Bio 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. 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

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.)

Tue, 12 February 2008 ![]() Artist - Beth Thornley Track 1 - Done Buy the music here 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. 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

Thu, 7 February 2008 ![]() Artist - My Dols Track 1 - Hot Rod your Home Buy the CD - Born to Iron - here 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. 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

Tue, 15 January 2008 ![]() Artist - Alice Smith Track 1 - New Religion Bio 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. 2008 Internation Year of the Potato

Thu, 6 December 2007 Music from PodShow Group - Uncle Seth Track 1 - Little Pieces Buy the music from CDBaby Bio 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."

Tue, 4 December 2007 ![]() music from IodaPromonetAlliance Artist - Amelia Curran Track 1 - Scattered Small Buy the CD from SandBarMusic Bio 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.
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.

Mon, 3 December 2007 ![]() Music from ArielPublicity Artist - Kerry Politzer Track 1 - I Hope You Find Me CD from CDBaby 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.

Fri, 30 November 2007 ![]() Learn Irish by listening to the LearnIrish Podcast music from PodShow Artist - Paula Toledo Track 1 - how long 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.

Tue, 27 November 2007 ![]() music from PodShow Artist - Anemo Track 1 - Fallout Renegade Buy the music from CDBaby Bio 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

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.

(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.

Wed, 17 October 2007 ![]() music from PodsafeMusicNetwork I heard Rotten Cheri this morning on the AccidentHash podcast with CC Chapman, a great show I have been listening to it for two years. Group - Rotten Cheri Track 1 - Wrong Buy the CD here from CDBaby Bio 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 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.

Artist - The Passive Agressives Track 1 - Todo Mal Bio 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.

Wed, 26 September 2007 ![]() music from PodShow Artist - Allison Crowe Track 1 - Crayon and Ink Gigs
Bio 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??

Fri, 14 September 2007 ![]() music from Ioda Promonet Alliance Artist - Erin Bode Track 1 - Don't take your time 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.

Fri, 14 September 2007 ![]() music from PodShow Artist - Melissa Forbes Track 1 - Thinking You Over Bio 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.?

Wed, 12 September 2007 ![]() music from PodShow Artist - Gypsy Track 1 - Morgaine 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.

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. from "Citrus" (Friendly Fire Recordings) Asobi Seksu from "Citrus" (Friendly Fire Recordings) Asobi Seksu from "Citrus" (Friendly Fire Recordings)

Wed, 25 July 2007 ![]() Artist - Eithne Ni Chathain Track 1 - Gui Gigs
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.

Fri, 6 July 2007 ![]() SpudShow 156 Tessa Perry Track 1 - Fragile Buy the music at CDBaby 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 …

Thu, 5 July 2007 ![]() SpudShow 155 Guards of Metropolis Track 1 - Don't wanna be like you
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! "Accomplished songwriting and a stylized sonic flamboyance" "Pick of the Week... Nifty!" "Loaded with talent and intellect"

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.

Gigs
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.

Mon, 21 May 2007 ![]() SpudShow 144 Artist - Rebecca Howles Track 1 - Lies That I Told 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.

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 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.

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. Don't know what else to say really. mwas Majella x
