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.

Info

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

Info

Belladonna are the first Rock Noir band in the world.
Moody, dramatic, intense, Belladonna's songs dwell on madness and magic, revenge and reincarnation, sex and excess, with a massively powerful and passionate sound that's both deeply erotic and unbearably romantic.

Belladonna's MySpace success has been unexpected and lightning-fast: with over 1.000.000 plays of their songs they have now become one of the world's most popular unsigned bands on MySpace.

Their acclaimed debut CD "Metaphysical Attraction" has gained them rave reviews from all over the world and has given Belladonna true cult status. Its songs have been added to the playlists of over 200 radios worldwide, magazines like Rolling Stone, Glamour, GQ and NME have hailed Belladonna as the "next big thing", and even Wikipedia has devoted a page to the bandand to Rock Noir, the musical genre that they have single-handedly originated.

Two songs out of their debut CD, “Black Swan� and “Foreverland�, have even received the incredible honor (unprecedented for an unsigned band!) of being included in the Grammy Awards 2008 Ballot, in the categories Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals and Best Rock Song.

Artist - Odi

Track 1 - Superman
Track 2 - What you deserve
Track 3 - Crawl

MainSite     MySpace     Bebo

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.

Inspired by this and armed with a beautiful, raw, voice, a cheap guitar, won on ebay, and her heart on her sleeve, ODi headed down to her local venue to blag her first gig. Her story has grown from there ….

…Two years on, ODi was invited to support Seth Lakeman at the Beverley Folk Festival. Along the way, the hard working Wexford woman has played over 200 gigs across the UK, Ireland and Germany. Released 2 well received singles "Crawl" and "What You Deserve" whilst developing an ever growing fanbase. She’s also managed to trade in the cheap guitar for a better one!

Her captivating voice and well crafted songs have already been likened to those of Suzanne Vega and Natalie Merchant. The musical landscapes on her recordings hinting towards a female version of Damien Rice, with a touch of PJ Harvey thrown in for good measure.

October sees ODi bring her new EP “A Superman� to the UK. The 5 Tracker features production input from Ken McHugh aka Autamata, (Juno Falls, David Kitt) and Karl Odlum (Fionn Regan , The Frames, Gemma Hayes)

Released in Ireland during summer 2008 The title track received national and regional airplay across the Emerald isle including a feature as ‘download of the day’ on The Tony Fenton’s Today FM show. The EP also brought praise from Irish publications including Hot Press and the Galway Advertiser amongst others.

ODi comes off the back of a 30 date Irish tour and heads to the UK for dates in September to promote the release of “A Superman�

She then enters the studio in late 2008 to record her debut album, due for release in summer 2009.

INfo
Tina! Janis! Aretha! Doña? That's right! There's a new one-name wonder in town! Also known as "The Boogie Woogie Woman" for her two fisted piano playing, Doña Oxford is fronting one of the hottest Rock & Roll bands of the 21st century! The word is out that when Doña sings, her vocal cool gets her audience all heated up!! It's all attitude, sultry good looks and a down and dirty beat that makes it happen when Doña (pronounced doan-ya) hits the stage!

Of English, Dutch, and German descent, Doña is the offspring of a trumpet playing Episcopal Priest father and a cabaret singer mom (her best pal). Born on June 2, this Gemini is a seasoned performer. She started playing piano at age five, on a one octave toy piano. She took lessons at school without her parents knowledge. By age 6 it was apparent that Doña was serious. Her mother bought her an upright Baldwin piano - her first real piano, and by 7 she was giving concerts at school.

Along the way, Doña took center stage with another talent - singing. Doña strengthened her pipes and learned her stage savvy with years of theatrical work; both regionally and Off-Broadway. With her theatrical interest, she went to New York City to study Drama at NYU, Tisch School of the Arts. But it was her lust for Blues and Rock & Roll that inspired Doña to leave the theater business and set out for the New York Nightclub Scene!

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

Bio:
A four time Asbury Music Award Nominee and a New Jersey native, 23 year old Justina Carubia has been playing guitar and writing her own songs since she was 18.  With the influences of classic and folk rock, Justina writes from personal experience and fictional stories.  She pens all her own tunes and delivers from the heart with her soft , yet soulful rock vocal approach.

In May of 2005 Justina released her five song, fully produced debut EP titled "Break of Day", and in December her single "Believe" which she recorded for the Lainie's Angels Foundation to raise charity for kids with cancer and blood disorders.  She recently recorded her long awaited follow-up EP "Last One Standing" which she co-produced.  A five song collection, "Last One Standing" contains more mature lyrics and is creatively produced.  Influences include The Beatles, Janis Joplin, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Pat Benatar, Jewel, Fiona Apple, Sheryl Crow, and Michelle Branch.

"Justina's got the talent and the heart to go to the top.  This apparent ingenue has recently released "Break of Day", a startlingly mature sample of her virtuosity." -Cafe Improv

"Just a week after releasing her first 5-song EP titled "Break of Day", it has been receiving rave reviews.  There is a definite buzz accompanying this release, so come out and catch a rising star!" -The Indigo Coffeehouse

"Justina is a phenomenal talent, since her debut performance here, we knew we had witnessed something special.  She has wonderful lyrics that she transforms into great harmonious songs.  Justina has the making of star; we consider her as one of the sensational artists who is 'under the radar'." -Espresso Joe's

"Justina has pipes and attitude.  She rocks some nice back rhythm on acoustic guitar when the band is in full swing, and is on target in the stripped down guitar and vocal moments.  Good dynamics, focused band...if there were ever any doubts as to her ability to rock, they have been put to rest!"  -Rob Jones, The Court Tav

Darcy Fray has a flair for the dramatic. From seductive synth-beated rhythms, to somber guitar-soaked vistas, Fray provides a intoxicating update on atmospheric, UK-style space-pop that continues to make believers of the curious. Beginning in 2002 in the very un-UK surroundings of a Los Angeles bedroom, Fray got off to a promising start with the self-release of the "Speak and Spell EP" which was welcomed as a blast of freezer air, cool crisp and bracingly refreshing...ice-queen voice...brittle drum-machine backing and occasional bouts of brutal shoe-gazing guitar (Jennifer Kelly - Splendid Magazine).

Reviews: The Big Takeover, Issue . 55 (Fall 2004) DARCY FRAY
THE FIREBALL EP
by Marcel Feldmar

Fireball is, as the title suggests, high energy pop rock keyboard mayhem, but with very sweet hooks and a very guitar oriented swing into pop, It slightly reminds me of "Third Eye" by Red Kross, but that's just the first song. The second drifts into a more mellow Pink Floyd feel, but sparser and more on that indie rock tip. There's hints of a devil may care glam attitude, too: "Throw on the wigs and make-up and let's just rock", comes out sometimes, and the harmonies are beautiful. It feels like five songs aren't enough to figure this one out, though I'm going to definitely keep trying.

Info
If AC/DC and Joan Jett were to have a child, and allow Van Halen, Motley Crue and Metallica to babsysit frequently, the result would be "Vision".
Vision’s sound is influenced by classic and 80’s rock/blues rock, with a touch of modern rock mixed in. Having a female front the bad gives a nice twist to the traditional feel. The band prides themselves on thoughtful, melodic lyrics layered over hard driving rhythms.
Vision was formed by David Vignola (guitar) and Juliette "Jules" Vignola (bass, vocals) in 2006. While they looked for band members they began writing the early songs which would eventually go on the first CD. After several lineup and name changes, the current lineup including Joe Johnston (keys, guitar), Diane Calano (drums) and Michelle Privée (lead vocals) was completed around February 2008. Once the band was assembled, they started recording immediately, completing their first CD "No Regrets" in May 2008. Vision has since hit the road playing local gigs in the Connecticut area and building a strong fan base.

"No Regrets" is more than an album, it's a philosophy embraced by all members of Vision. Through good times and bad, we know that our experiences made us who we are, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, and looking back, we have NO REGRETS!

CD due out in September 2008 watch the web sites.

Info
Pigeonhole Carrie Rodriguez at your peril. Sure, she’s done a lot of duets. She plays a fiddle. (a mean one at that.) She’s recorded songs with a pleasing, folksy twang.

But don’t think you know what you’re getting. Not yet 30, and with a critically-acclaimed solo record and several well-received duet records in her wake, the classically trained singer/songwriter has just begun flexing her artistic muscles, still figuring out how far her talents will take her. If you’re looking for someone playing it safe and sticking to tried-and-true ways of music making, as the title of Rodriguez’s daring new album aptly states, SHE AIN’T ME.

“Because I took some chances, wrote with some new people and actually co-wrote most of the songs on the album, it’s very different,� Rodriguez notes.

Also different: Malcolm Burn’s dense production, bulging with thoughtful details, yet always serving the song. “If the song doesn’t hold up on its own, without all the production, he doesn’t want to have anything to do with it,� Rodriguez says. “And he was much more into the vibe than perfection—which is good for me, because my tendency is to try to make things perfect.�

Info
On her debut album, The Inner Revolution, songstress Kira Fontana triumphs in embracing an emotional rawness without fear, while also exploring a soul-searching mysticism that’s undaunted in recognizing life’s ever-changing moves. Like Sinéad O’Connor and Tori Amos before her, the San Francisco Bay Area-born artist approaches such a task with unshakable power. Welcome to The Inner Revolution.

“For me, [The Inner Revolution] is about getting back to the truth of who you are and coming full circle in life,� Fontana says. “It’s about really trusting that inner core above anything outside.�

For Fontana, finding that place where your creative desires become a tangible realization started as early as five-years-old, when she learned to play the piano by ear. Before she reached her teens, she was writing pop songs and classical piano instrumentals. She soon developed an insatiable appetite for all kinds of music, everything from alternative rock to Javanese gamelan, and explored the works of chamber music enthusiast Igor Stravinsky, and minimalist composers Steve Reich and Arvo Pärt.

elodieO is a staple of the New York City LES/Nublu electro scene that nurtured Kudu and The Brazilian Girls. Her sound is an elegant mix of 60's Nico-esque pop and 90's golden era trip-hop and down-tempo. Stubborn is a brilliant and complex album that is a suitable soundtrack for both a night on the town, and, the more intimate activities that often follow.

Originally from Paris, elodieO sings, composes and arranges all the music on Stubborn with the exception of two re-arranged songs of by Serge Gainsbourg and The Cure. The album features guest spots from several internationally know artists, including Aaron and Jesse of the Brazilian Girls.

Joséphine left the romantic streets of Paris at the age of 17 to pursue her music in the bilingual city of Montreal, Canada. The couple of years she spent there were a stepping-stone for her transition from teenager to adult and from dreamer to artist. She was then ready to move to the city that she had always viewed as the music capital of the world: New York.

Joséphine left the romantic streets of Paris at the age of 17 to pursue her music in the bilingual city of Montreal, Canada. The couple of years she spent there were a stepping-stone for her transition from teenager to adult and from dreamer to artist. She was then ready to move to the city that she had always viewed as the music capital of the world: New York.

Montréal gave Joséphine her first stage experiences and introduced her to a whole new world of music. She joined The People’s Gospel Choir of Montréal and was a part of their Vibe Award winning album. She has also recorded songs for film and a television commercial in France.

As soon as Joséphine arrived in New York, she knew that she was in the right place and quickly found her way in the local New York music scene. She co-wrote and recorded her first album, Unfinished Life, with singer/songwriter Craig Wilson. In the meantime, she has been playing her songs around New York in venues such as The Bitter End, Crash Mansion, and R&R.

Joséphine is an obvious romantic and sings with sweetness and hope although a certain melancholy and awareness of life’s pains and difficulties show her sensitivity in most of her songs. They have been described as “Sweetly sung, counting up regrets such as in the standout, Right Here.�

Unfinished Life is an honest representation of who she is, with a persisting little French accent...

Info
When people ask Tanya 'What do you do?', she says 'I'm a poet'. This gets a wide variety of responses, but mostly just 'oh'. She also says 'I'm a musician', which leads to such inevitable questions as 'What kind of music do you play?'. That's where things get hard to explain...
She writes songs in the loosely-defined alt-folk category, although also has tendencies towards well-arranged pop music and genres that get people dancing. Songs of love, life, work, and art. Songs with refreshingly candid lyrics, poetic and exposing. She's a relative newcomer on the Atlantic music scene, although she's been performing for years; that's where the 'poet' part comes in.

Writing and performing spoken word style poetry since 2000, Tanya's performed up and down the west coast and throughout the Maritimes. She placed first in the PEI portion of the 2005 CBC Poetry Faceoff and went on to place 3rd in the country. Of her poetry people say, 'engaging, unique, accessible and yet interesting use of language'; of her delivery they say, 'rhythmic, with great cadence and good timing'; of her presence as a performer they say 'genuine and magnetic.'

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

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."

Info
Up-and-coming popular singer Lin McEwan recently premiered her first two music videos before a packed crowd of cheering fans and friends at Manhattan’s Zipper Factory. The show also celebrated the release of the digital-only Now I Know EP, the follow-up to her self-titled debut album. The EP is the first release entirely composed of songs written by Lin and co-writer Mike Pettry.

Both the videos and the EP mark a big change for a girl who spent her youth being told that she couldn’t sing because her voice was too low. "My voice was so strange for my age," she recalls, "that when I was in the eighth grade, I had to play Santa Claus because the boys voices hadn't changed yet, and I was the only one who could do a convincing, ‘Ho, ho, ho.’"

It wasn't until she was 16 that she stepped onto the stage of her high school's gala gospel concert to give her first ever solo performance, a rousing blues take of "Amazing Grace," for which she received a thunderous three-minute standing ovation.

Since arriving in New York, the Baltimore-native has been “gaining notice for her uncommonly deep voice� and for her “soulfully sung and well-written material�—a funky fusion of soul and pop… like Tina Turner or Mavis Staples singing over Keane (The Baltimore Sun; JustSoul). Along with her talented group of regular players, who’ve backed everyone from Jesse Malin to Gavin DeGraw, she’s appeared at such landmark establishments as CBGB's and the Bitter End, as well as the Living Room, the Rockwood Music Hall, the Cutting Room, Crash Mansion, and Arlene's Grocery. But she still considers Baltimore home and takes the band back as often as possible.

Lin is a proud member of ASCAP and the NAPM.

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.

Track 1 - Balloon Factory
Track 2 - Apotemnophilia
Track 3 - Slumlord

MainSite     MySpace

Info
When UK music journalists loudly christened the “Neu-Rave� genre this past summer, with magazines like iD and NME putting Dandi Wind squarely at the forefront, we could hardly wait for the movement to surface, just like “Olde-Rave,� on North America’s cultural radar, in about a half-decade or so. The rumored scattershot resurgence of glowsticks in non-rave settings gave us slight encouragement for a quicker turnaround, but, ever since the recent death of society, this seemed no less tenuous and shallow than an ironic reclamation of Pogs. So, is Neu-Rave a movement with legs? Or just indie-rock with tacked-on “whooshy siren ravey noises� cynically appropriating yet another newly-minted nostalgic era? It doesn’t matter, because Dandi Wind is much more than a tripster buzz-genre could ever define, sincerely or not.

Much has been made of the Dandi Wind live experience, whose legend has been growing with every show. The sheer wall-climbing, feral physicality of Dandi’s stage performance, in lockstep with keyboardist/programmer Szam’s (and recently added live drummer Evan’s) relentless playing, can belie the fact that their show is startlingly tight for something seemingly on the verge of utter chaos. During recent touring with fellow infamous club-destroyers such as Les Georges Leningrad, Klaxons, Justice, Broken Social Scene and Erase Errata, the trio of Dandi Wind threatened to tear the roof off of every venue with impunity, often outshining their better-known compatriots, and all without a hint of irony. That blood is real blood, and possibly your blood. Authentic!

Dandi Wind’s debut full-length Concrete Igloo, originally self-released in a highly limited run to a quick sell-out, has now been reissued on Summer Lovers Unlimited in enhanced CD format, with stark, jaw-dropping design and ten music videos. As with the Dandi Wind live show, this album is a truly cohesive cross-media assault. The jarring, icy imagery of Dandi’s design is mirrored perfectly in Concrete Igloo’s sound - a fierce, claustrophobic collision of genre, meme, and modern-age mania. Songs like “Pluck It Out� and “Apotemnophilia� speak of perverse urges to escape the strictures of the human body (the latter song being the clinical term for the urge to self-amputate) yet are intensely rhythmic and danceable. Dandi’s vocals throughout are, by turns, animalistically gutteral and unnervingly slight, riding on Szam’s onrushing sheets of synth. On crowd favorites like “Balloon Factory,� absurdist vignettes are played out in the form of fractured playground chant and narrative. Songs like “Einsteinbrains� speak of human interaction but do so with a frenetic detachment from reality, in perfect keeping with our increasingly depersonalized times. The group playfully refers to itself as “post no-wave�, but it’s rather more fitting to categorize Dandi Wind as post-civilization. (Coming soon.)

An t-íomhá is aoibhne
Mar éinín sa spéir
Caithfidh mé bheith cúramach
Le súilín i mo lámh

Bhuel do ghoideamar gluaisteán
Le bheith neamhspleách
Ach níor thiomáin mé fada
Mar nílim in ann
Bhuel do chum mé roinnt briathra
Le bheith neamhspleách
Mar thit mé thar focal a bhí os mo chomhair
'S do choinnigh mé amach
Le bheith neamhspleách
Agus thit mé i ngrá leat
Nuair nach raibh codladh orm

Ag comhaireamh haon, dó, trí, ceathar
Ní rabhas in ann análú le do phóg
Ar mo bhéilín bog
Na mothúcháin chomh difriúil dom
Contúirt atá romham
Tá sé chomh milis le mil
'S tú féin 'tá ann
Chomh saor is fiáin

Bhuel de ghoideamar......
Is tú an bláithín is áille....
Ní rabhas in ann codladh a fháil.....

Alchemy EP out July 25th see website for details

Info

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

Bio

Singer/songwriter, Meagin Donovans charged, percussive, yet technically intricate acoustic guitar work and passionate singing seems effortless, and her energy, endless. Born in Noblesville, Indiana, Meagin has called the Pacific Northwest her home for years. One day in college, something inside Meagin caused her to pick up the acoustic guitar. Since then everything has made more sense. Completely self-taught, Meagins style is uninhibited, describing the process of writing as easy because, All six strings are friends. You just have to find out what theyre saying together.

New to the music scene, Meagin has only played acoustic guitar for five years. And, although she is new to Seattle she has gigged all over western Washington. Shes played at: hopvine pub, Galway arms, Ballard firehouse, Black box which was a show sponsored by The University of Washington radio station, KEXP, the showbox greenroom, and many others. She has also gigged in Tacoma and Olympia. She writes relentlessly; her all-original sets can run up to two hours.

With the recent addition of hand drums, Meagins demo ranges from introspective, to daring and raw. Meagins commitment to improvisation and live performance are evident at her shows and on her demo.

Meagins unique songwriting and powerful, rocking guitar playing, along with awesome timing of the hand drums creates a sound that is different than anything out there right now. Meagin Donovan tells the truth, as she knows it . . . the unedited version. Audiences feel the emotions of each song in a very real way when Meagin sings and jams on the guitar.

Meagin Donovan is reaching out to all people who want to rock out because everyone gets something from her music. Constantly writing, Meagin feels obligated to empower her audience, encouraging them to be free in her music. She is an independent artist with one hell of a work ethic and she will not stop working until her music is heard. Just starting out, Meagin is ready.

With this music video I wanted to focus on some of the sorrow and pain that Kaim Argonar endures.

The song is called: "A Dream That Only I Can Know" from the movie 'Yesterday's Children.' The song is performed by Jenn Mahoney and was written by Patrick Williams.

I would like to give a special thank you to Anita (aka panicatmysite) for introducing me to the song! XD

Lyrics:
"A Dream That Only I Can Know"

IRISH (GAELIC):
Eist le mo chroí
Is é leanúint ailsing'
Is é ag gabháil go háit
Nach eol ach dom féin
Ní heol do mo chroí
Ach an aisling a leanúint
Nach féidir ach liomsa a haithint

ENGLISH:
Listen to my heart
As it follows a dream
And it leads to a place
That only I know
To know my heart
Is to follow a dream,
A dream that only I can know

IRISH (GAELIC):
Eist le mo chroí
Is é leanúint ailsing'
Is é ag gabháil go háit
Nach eol ach dom féin
Ní heol do mo chroí
Ach an aisling a leanúint
Nach féidir ach liomsa a haithint
Nach féidir ach liomsa a haithint

Here’s a little presentation of what you can find here.
Sucrepop could be translating by Sugarpop, and it’s definitely what this name means.

There are a lot of gifted musicians on the internet and it’s difficult to stand apart, whatever style or quality your’re proposing.
so, I’ve tried to add something else.

.For more than 8 years now, Sucrepop has proposed a new song on the first of each month, under a creative commons licence by NC ND.
So you can freely download, share, copy, distribute, and perform my work as long as you do not use it for commercial purposes without my authorisation.
Each of those songs is available in the discography section on your right. In the download section, you’ll find instrumental version, chords and karaoke version. Feel free to make your own and let me know what you've made.

Those songs have a further particularity. Most of all are recorded with singers or musicians I’ve never met. I write all the music and most of the lyrics but singer’s parts or guitar’s part for example are sent to me through mail. And I mix all the tracks, mine and the others here in Le Pre Saint Gervais, near Paris.

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

MyHope (original song)

The years are going by so fast it really is bewilderin'
And we'll be so-called "grown ups" and have mortgages and children
I hope we all gain worldliness, and wisdom, maturity
But I hope most of all that MySpace falls into obscurity

I hope our profiles all go dead, entombed in distant servers
A monument of your youth, although lacking its observers
Your page will be an empty shell, when no one is behind it
I hope your MySpace stays forever - and I hope that your kids find it


How I hope that you forget your MySpace
I hope it slips completely from your mind
And I hope it stays up long enough for the next generation to find
And I hope that it embarrasses your children
I hope their bratty friends all forward it around
And I hope that you forget your password
So you cannot take it down

If your kids think you vaguely square, it will be so much clearer
When they laugh at the pictures you took in your bathroom mirror
And all the bands you listen to, your kids will be exposin'
"Who is this Soulja Boy you reference, who's 'Uh Oh Explosion'?"

They'll marvel at how old you are, they'll "rofl" at your outfits
Your tastes may pass as "vintage" in the future - but I doubt it


I hope your cynical kids say, "Holy crap, this is great
these comments date all the way back to 2008."
I hope they dig through your pictures, and find some we might call compromising
I hope that seeing young Mom in a swimsuit or smoking a hookah isn't too traumatizing
But it will be past their comprehension
They'll ask "Did Grandpa not give you enough attention?"

[insert rocking out here]


They might poke at your top 8 friends, read your comments at the most
I only wish that they could see the inane bulletins you post

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!�

Info
In 2006, after eight years of fronting the critically acclaimed Colorado-based band, Newcomers Home, and releasing her first solo record, Watch Them Fall, as a side project—singer/songwriter Katie Herzig retreated to the solitude of her bedroom studio. There, she single-handedly recorded and produced Weightless, a tour-de-force of innovative sonics and songwriting whose tracks have been prominently featured on NPR, KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic, E.R., Smallville, and, most recently, on two episodes of television’s highest-rated drama, Grey’s Anatomy.

Following the release of Weightless, Herzig left Colorado for Nashville and immediately started to catch the attention of other artists. Her song “Heaven’s My Home� received a 2007 Grammy nomination for best country performance by The Duhks. She was also invited to open shows for The Fray and join PASTE Magazine and American Songwriter Magazine sponsored tours.

Performing Songwriter Magazine wrote, “Katie Herzig possesses gravity-defying powers on her latest release, balancing heavy and mournful lyrics with light pop melodies that bounce and float into the stratosphere.� PASTE Magazine’s Jason Killingsworth said, “Katie Herzig has a whimsical side that I love. Her music doesn’t take itself too seriously, and the lyrics always [have] a sharp emotional edge to them. I’m a huge fan.�

Art 6. Right to liberty and security

Definition

Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person.

Legal Explanations

The rights in Article 6 are the rights guaranteed by Article 5 of the ECHR, and in accordance with Article 52(3) of the Charter, they have the same meaning and scope. Consequently, the limitations which may legitimately be imposed on them may not exceed those permitted by the ECHR, in the wording of Article 5:

"1. Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person. No one shall be deprived of his liberty save in the following cases and in accordance with a procedure prescribed by law:

..
(d) the detention of a minor by lawful order for the purpose of educational supervision or his lawful detention for the purpose of bringing him before the competent legal authority;
(e) the lawful detention of persons for the prevention of the spreading of infectious diseases, of persons of unsound mind, alcoholics or drug addicts or vagrants;

MainSite     MySpace

Info

Singer/songwriter Jessie McKenna began singing along to her mom's Suzanne Vega tapes at four and wrote her first song, now lost to history, at six. By age thirteen, Jessie had an electric bass she played like a rhythm instrument, and began writing what would become a catalog of dozens of thoughtful, melodic rock songs ranging from lighthearted to darkly beautiful, sometimes within the same song.

In the summer of 2002, Jessie put together a band in an attempt to bring her songs to life, ans soon after, Jessie's mom, Marti McKenna, joined the group on backing vocals. By the summer of 2003 the band prepared to go into the studio for the first time. Performing as Jessie McKenna and Her Band (JMaHB), the lineup included Ricochet Biscuit members Ric Neil, Brian Ochs, and Evan Middlesworth, and produced the Deluded EP (recorded at Hype Schwartz). In January of 2004 the McKenna girls split off to perform as an acoustic act. They became Ruby Shuz in July of 2004.

Bassist Brandon Koeller joined the band in the summer of 2005, bringing a spirit and enthusiasm that, along with his solid bass lines, fuels the band's fire on stage.

Soon after joining the band, Brandon brought drummer Ben Anderson into the mix. A member of the Seattle Seahawks Drumline, Ben's dynamic beats and humor drive the music and stir the band's chemistry during every performance.

In early 2006, Andrew Benton joined the band on lead guitars. Today, his guitar work is an integral part of each Ruby Shuz song.

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

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

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.

Buy the CD from Amazon

Info
Born and raised in the Welsh city of Cardiff, Donna was classically trained at the Welsh College of Music and Drama, majoring in flute and piano. Her debut album - 'Now in a Minute' - was released in 1996 to universal acclaim. The first single - 'I Love You Always Forever' - became an instant global phenomenon, climbing to the top of the charts in countries around the world. In the USA, it re-wrote the record books at radio by exceeding 1 million 'spins' to claim its place in music industry history as the most-played single ever, at that time.

After a long hiatus during which she raised a family, Multi-platinum recording artist Donna Lewis will finally return with her first proper studio album in a decade with the release of In The Pink on April 8, 2008.

Featuring the first single "Shout," Donna's eleven new tracks seem to pick up right where she left off. Her overly acute sense of pop sensibility remains firmly intact while simultaneously gravitating towards the newer sounds of bands such as Zero 7 and Hooverphonic.

“I didn't plan on being away for this long,� Lewis commented. “After Blue Planet, I had the opportunity to work on some great collaborative projects which I found really interesting and enjoyable. Then I did something I had always wanted to do, record an acoustic album, Be Still which I just put out on my website. I had a baby in 2003 and decided to take a complete break to be a hands on mum - I wouldn't change anything about that time, it has been incredible sharing his first few years....�

At the end of 1993 she came to the attention of Atlantic Records and so impressed Chairman Doug Morris that he flew her out to New York from her native Cardiff, Wales to meet her personally - and offered her a recording deal on the spot!

MainSite     MySpace

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.

Info

Je me nomme Mélissa j'ai 15 ans et un rêve qui est en train de se réaliser... J'habite a saint raphaël dans le var, la musique est ma passion et je pratique le piano depuis 7 ans deja. Voila mon parcours en quelques lignes ...

C'est à l'age de 14 ans que j'ai décidé de chanter. Je me suis donc
inscrite a des cours de chant variétés qui ne m'on pas vraiment
apportés grand chose.

Un ans c'est écoulé et je me suis mise au chant
lyrique: les bases de la chanson . Cela m'a beaucoup appris et j'ai
vraiment decouvert une seconde famille.

Ici je ne dirais pas d'idioties du genre : "je chante depuis l'age de 5 ans" non je veux que l'on sache comment j'ai fait pour m'améliorer en peu de temps .

Au bout de 6 mois de chant lyrique j'ai fais mes premiers pas
sur scene en ouvrant un spectacle classique. Les spectateurs étaient nombreux et j'ai reçu des compliments de tous . Une fois l'année de chant terminée je me suis mise a composer des chansons et des morceaux de piano de genres différents (pop, variétés, symphonie etc ...).

Au début je fesais cela pour mon plaisir personnel jusqu'au jour ou mon père m'a entendu chanter une de mes compositions. Tout a fait conquis il a decidé de me faire enregistrer un cd qui serait composé de 3 titres. On a donc contacté un realisateur (Cédric Conti) qui était vraiment partant pour le projet. J'ai enregistré 5 titres au total et j'ai vraiment pris le plus grand plaisir a faire cela .

A 15 ans j'ai enregistré un cd, et bientot un album de 14 titres si tout ce projet se présente bien .

je vous laisse mes chansons et la place pour tous les commentaires bons ou mauvais car tout conseil est bon a prendre ... merci à tous ! :)

Group - Jezebel

from Norway

Track 1 - My Phantom Limb
Track 2 - Brainscape
Track 3 Shiny Small Machine

MainSite     MySpace

If you want to buy any of the cds, please send an e-mail to jezebel@jezebel.no to order.

Info
Jezebel was formed in 2001 by Helene Ring Teppan and Vivian Mari Ozalbo. At the time the band was called Go Brutal Sweeties and the first song was made in one week. The music was quite traditional pop/rock, and the name was found in a pin-up calendar from the 1920s. The band consisted of four girls and a male drummer.

After the band had been called Sidestreet Sirens for a brief period, the music changed direction with the birth of the song Simple Solutions. They then started using more untraditional elements; electric guitar played with a bow and more frequent use of unusual time-signatures. During the spring of 2003, the band changed their name again; this time to Jezebel. At this point the band headed for the studio for the first time and recorded a demo consisting of three songs: Blame Me, Strangest Patterns and Simple Solutions. Jezebel got their first opportunity at national fame, when NRK Petres radioshow for unsigned bands, Urørt, played Simple Solutions on air.

The time that followed is characterized by a constant evolution of the repertoire, active use of the Urørt homepage (where a live version of the song Dissect is listed as one of the favourites) and several gigs in Oslo. The music has become what it is today as a result of the band-members. The music spans over a lot of genres and you find elements of jazz, blues and prog as well as traditional pop and rock. Musical quibble, as some would say.

*2001 The band was founded by Helene Ring Teppan and Vivian Mari Ozalbo.
*2003 The band's first demo was recorded in May. Petre's Urørt airs "Simple Solutions" 21.10 og 24.11 .
*2005 Jezebel plays live and is interviewed on radio at Kanal 24s Tut og kjør w/Rune Hekkelstrand.
The Ep "Simple" is finished in July. Conserts at Betonghaven, Skuret, Blue Monk and Grønnlandshagen.
* 2006 Jezebel recorded new songs in December.

Bio

The Norwegain band ACELSIA, may be considered as melodic hard rock. Sometimes quiet and mellow, sometimes heavy and noisy - the band is recognised by soothing melodies, melancholy moods and Malene's emotional voice.

Acelsia started as a solo project in the summer of 2006. Malene wanted to record some of her songs and got Nils and some other friends to help her out in the studio. Happy with the result, Malene decided to take the project further and form a permanent band.

Marius and HÃ¥kon showed up for auditions and was soon chosen to join the band. After some time with no permanent second guitarist, the band got its current line-up when Odd Henning joined the band in the fall of 2007.

Acelsia has contributed to different compilation albums such as “Månerock vol 2� and “Norwegian Wood Music For China�. In the fall of 2007 they recorded a music video for the song “Christine�.

In the last couple of months, Acelsia has taken a new musical direction, away from the guitar based pop/rock to more complex and melodic hard rock/goth metal. With this changed expression, the band has found their identity. In March, 2008, the band recorded a demo to show their recent development.

Acelsia tries to create honest and genuine music with hopes that the emotions it conveys will touch the listener. The music is contrastive and emotional, and moves between one extreme to the other, from the soft and sweet to the more brutal and heavy, but always with a strong melody in the center.

Info
There’s something undeniably seductive about jazz music- its glamour, sexuality and earnest, soulful roots all appeal to a comfortable, old-fashioned musical sensibility. Yet singer/songwriter Rosey is one of the select few who sees one step beyond the classic image and recognizes the genre as an entirely fresh form of pop music. A longtime jazz lover who began her eclectic career as a rock n’ soul siren on Island/Def Jam, Rosey is unique in her ability to find the delicate balance between both eras on The Luckiest Girl, her smoky, sensual, self-produced Quango debut.

Since we last heard from Rosey on that aforementioned 2002 freshman effort, her remarkable career has indeed taken many exciting twists and turns throughout several unconventional musical associations. Following instant national attention from her single “Love� landing on the Bridget Jones’s Diary soundtrack and “The Afterlife� scoring a slot in the Farrelly Brothers’ Shallow Hal, the tunesmith toured with the lauded likes of Melissa Etheridge and Morcheeba. Outside of her own interests, she’s also teamed up as a co-writer on many occasions, from hit maker Kelis to a number of burgeoning artists (with whom she doubles as a mentor) to writing jingles for commercials.

“I always dreamed of making timeless music, plus people have always told me my voice was well-suited to jazz and that I should try it,� she shares. “So I hooked up with [longtime friend and legendary session player] Hugh McCracken to record a bunch of standards. A few days into those sessions, we starting writing a song I called ‘The Old Fashioned Way,’ which really set the pace for the record. With everybody and their mom putting out a standards album, I knew I had to go full steam and write my own jazzy repertoire. I am a songwriter after all, so it just made more sense to do it that way. I do enjoy a good challenge, and musically, this one was massive. �

Des Bishop (feat DJ Lee) - Léimigí Thart
House of Pain - Jump Around

Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam


Dún do chlab, dún do bhéal, éist le mo scéal
Má cheapann tú go dtuigeann tú tá tú cur i géill
Tá mé ag dul thú a bhomhradh, ceangail mé le slabhra
Guile a mhac, ná bí caint cac anseo i lár an samhradh
Súistín búistín buile beaga shúistín
Ná bí a phlaidhca no gheobhaidh tú a leice
Níl mé ag iarraidh éisteacht le do chac bó
Damhsa damhsa gan aon stró
Buachaillí gránna, cailíní beaga dána
Ní thugann mise áird ar na Gárdaí síochána
Ar an gCeathrú Rua, amuigh anseo faoin tuath
Léim anois, léim anois, léim anois go luath

Má tá sé mí-cheart, má tá sé mí cheart
Is cuma liom is cuma liom, léimigí thart
Léim thart
Éirigh as do pholl is léim thart
Léim (x12)


Freastailfidh mé thú ar nós John McEnroe
Má shúileann do bhean shuas buaileadh mé an ho
Cá bhfuil do chlann ,cá bhfuil do cháirde ?
Cá bhfuil an ceol? Suas níos airde.
Aus díreach ar nós uisce te , tá mé a'bruith
Má fheiceann tú mise ag tíócht b'fhearr dhuit bheith rith
Mar tá mé ar nós 'Tom Cruise' sa scannán sin 'top gun'
Ní stopfaidh tú mise leis an shotgun
Má dheanann tú is gaoita thú agus beidh tú i do staic
Ní éireoidh tú arís agus sin é an chraic
Anois é mo stoir
Éist le mo Ghlor
Amach ar an urlar ar nós Peigín Leitir Moir


Curfá


Is mé an fear is fearr ,sea tá mé tharr barr
Ní fheicfidh tú mise i mo sheasamh ins an lár
Ná an deireadh ach an oiread , an taobh eile don droichead
Má thagann said chomh fada liom cuirfidh mise soir iad.
Amach ar an bportach agus iad ag baint mhóna
Déardaoin, Dé hAoine Dé Sathairn is Dé Domhnaigh
Suas suas is síos agus arais arís
Glan do straois , tá sé salach agus clúdaigh le smaois
Comh héadrom le cleite, comh te leis an leite
Fanach tú é nó togfaidh mé é uaite.

Curfá

Info
ROBOTS IN DISGUISE are fronted by DEE PLUME (guitar and vocals) and SUE DENIM (bass and vocals). Part riot grrl princesses, part monsters of DIY musical mayhem, this maverick electro-indie-rock-dance duo has a reputation for fashion-forward style and energetic shows where Dee's guitar and Sue's grooving bass lines dance over chunky electronic beats and tell-it-like-it-is lyrics.

The Robots first met at a Le Tigre gig and quickly discovered a shared love of girl punk bands and so started writing music together.

Snapped up by French label, Recall, ROBOTS IN DISGUISE released their eponymous debut album in 2004, creating a real buzz throughout Europe after which they took their crazed live show on tour. Their dancefloor killer 12� single, BOYS, was released with remixes by Hidden Agenda, SIN, The Servant and Tommy Hools and won over a host of fans including Boy George and Peaches.

After a US release and tour in 2005, ROBOTS IN DISGUISE released GET RID!, their sharp, snazzy electrofunk album on Recall in France, Anorak Supersport in Benelux countries and Australia’s Shock Records. Their standout single, DJ’s GOT A GUN, enjoyed heavy rotation across Europe and the States. GET RID! was then released by President Records in the UK last year, with its single, TURN IT UP, featured on US hit show, Ugly Betty.

Robots in Disguise have graced the pages of numerous fashion magazines donning their discopunk mod look and have also acted in BBC2's The Mighty Boosh as evil alter egos, The Electro Girls and The Goth Girls.

Info

The album begins with slow-burning pop and bright shining vocals, which lead you through a tour of romantic longing and crumbling industrial landscapes. This is Lindsay Sullivan's New York. Through her music and lyrics, the band Clair narrows a spotlight on individual moments, singular voices living their lives amidst everyday frustrations and classical arcs. Their debut, Long Road Home, veers from clamorous rock to pensive, piano-driven sketches, traversing a wide stretch of musical and emotional ground.

Sullivan, Clair's vocalist and songwriter, has lived in New York for most of her life. "I've played piano, sung, and written various things (plays, short stories, etc.) since I was a kid but never officially started songwriting until my first band, Mason Dixon," Sullivan says. In 2005, Sullivan left the Americana-fueled Mason Dixon to assemble her own band. She soon encountered her old friend and guitarist Brendan Boehning, who quickly became a mainstay of the group, co-writing the music for Long Road Home's "Every Day" and "Gun to My Head." "We've been really lucky getting great musicians to play with us," says Sullivan. "Right now we are working with Lizzie Carena who is a talented vocalist, Dan Loomis, a very respected jazz bassist and my cousin Kevin Duda on drums, who is a great player and a fantastic addition to the band."

Sullivan's writing process varies from song to song. "I usually start with an idea, which could be a lyric, melody, character, setting, emotion, news story…whichever one I start with I then work to build the other elements around. Occasionally the stars align and it all happens at once ("Goodness James") and sometimes I have to labor over the song for six months ("Every Day")." The result is an album that shimmers at times and aches with longing at others and is bolstered by a classically buoyant pop sensibility, a trace of lap steel and an open-sky voice.

"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" .
JOHN SPILLANE (Meteor award winner 2003)

Im Daisy (aka Christine). Im 25, from Skibbereen but living in Dublin. I've been writing music in my head all my life. If I were an animal, id be an Owl.

I love music, I love hope, I know that; Trees are tall, The earth is round, Laughter is sweet, Tears are salty. Ice cream melts (but who wants to live in a freezer), Fame is an illusion, Metrosexuality is stupid, Lemons are better than oranges, Stars are dusty fireballs (not famous people) and doing lots of the things you love makes you happy.

What I want is; to live by the sea, in a mansion, surrounded by pineapple trees. When I grow up I want to live off music, write some good songs and barter them at local markets for organic fruit and veg. One day I am going to record in famous studios with really expensive delicate equipment. I want to travel to places where the sun is not just a state of mind and people don't understand what I'm singing. Right now I Live in the City, I pay rent, I live hand to mouth. I play with a full band including two backing vocalists, a drummer and a bass player. We will only play venues that will feed us!

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

Their live set is crammed full of energy and passion; you can literally hear how much Kyoshi love it!

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

 Bio
Lunascape sound mixes catchy rhythms, ethereal samples and loops and rock Guitar, blended carefully with smooth melodies and Kyoko's enchanting voice.
At the core of Lunascape are musicians Kyoko Baertsoen and Walter Hilhorst.

The duo originally met in 1993 at the Television and Film Academy in Brussels, Belgium and began to fiddle around with covers and some original material. In 1997, Kyoko was offered the spot of lead singer for Hooverphonic and her work with Walter was put on the back burner. After touring Europe extensively with Hooverphonic, Kyoko left the band and returned to her work with Walter; Lunascape was born.

Lunascape landed a record deal in 1998 and singles began to trickle out over the next few years. But it wasn't until 2002 that Lunascape's debut album Reflecting Seyelence was released, showcasing the group's ethereal blend of trip-hop, moody pop, and electronic textures framed by Baertsoen's lush vocals.
