Seek And Ye Shall Find: Ed Hale, Music, & The Meaning Of It All
Friday, May 05 @ 11:55:56 GMT by bandweblogs |  SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND:
ED HALE, MUSIC, & THE MEANING OF IT ALL
by Meera Subramanian
Ed Hale is warming up over a steaming cup of Dunkin Donuts decaf. He talks about, among other things, his weekly schedule (French language lessons one night, kickboxing classes another), his ambitions for a reality television show where he interviews a famous Bishop and other random people, his novel in progress entitled The Cosmos is Great and Large, Darn Right, ("like Huck Finn with superheroes"), and about the Army General's uniform that hangs in his closet. Dressed in black fitted jeans, a black DKNY shirt, and black boots, he slips easily into the New York City landscape, recently transplanted from his native Florida. His curly, shoulder-length brown hair is pushed back from his face with a pair of dark sunglasses, also DKNY, and his heavy-lidded blue eyes are eager as he talks about everything and everyone that gets him excited, punctuating his explorations with an easy laugh and expressive stretching out of words like "brilll-yant!" This is all on decaf, remember.

Aural Night-Voyage
Friday, May 05 @ 11:49:40 GMT by bandweblogs | muzikman writes "
Artist: Aural Night
Title: Voyage
Genre: Instrumental-Soundtrack-Classical
Label: Independent
Website
CD Baby Link
Aural Night is an artist from Finland that takes his passion for the great composers and makes something special without the help of a band and typical instruments. The artist uses a Korg Triton with onboard MOSS, M-Audio Audiophile 192 soundcard hooked to his computer to create this engaging instrumental Voyage. The compositions, recorded, mixed, and mastered by the artist, sound as if there was more involved because of the sound quality, nevertheless the results are impressive when you look at the whole picture and how he achieved the desired results.
Aural Night’s intention was to create a soundtrack that could be easily adapted for a movie. I think he succeeds in accomplishing his goal on this album. He listened to his share of Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis prior to jumping into a career of recording, as their influence is peeking around every corner of this CD."

VERNON NEILLY EXPLODES ON TO BILLBOARD
CHARTS |
| |
 Just 2 weeks ago, Boosweet Records recording artist Vernon
Neilly's new single from the award winning CD "G-Fire II" was released to
the world via AC/UAC commercial, satellite, cable, internet stations
across the globe. Having an immediate impact at radio, the single
"Unconditional Love" was the #1 most added single at AC radio, and picked
up early indicators at UAC radio according to BDS reports.
Going into week 2 the single was still firecracker hot as it remained
in the top 5 most added singles at #4, jumping up the chart (fmqb) from
#148 to #69,and added an incredible +129 spin increase over the prior
week. For most any artist major or independent to jump out of the gate
with those kinds of numbers after only two weeks of a release, would have
them jumping up and down for joy.
The best news was yet to materialize though, and did when the Nielsen
Soundscan report rolled in last week to show that not only did Vernon's
"G-Fire II" CD spike at retail, but exploded onto the Billboard Chart at
#12 Contemporary Jazz Albums. "Unconditional Love" is one of the hottest
singles out right now, and is especially getting overwhelming response
from the 24-54 female demographic, because of it's very lush, romantic
musical track, and passionate vocal delivery.
 The "Unconditional Love" single can be downloaded
at Boosweet Records website www.boosweet.com, or can be found at
emusic.com, apple.com/itunes, rhapsody.com, sonyconnect.com, walmart.com,
and all major digital download retailers. The Full "G-Fire II" CD can also
be downloaded at these sites, but is also available at most major and major
independent record stores, and most major online retailers such as
amazon.com, allmusicguide.com.
For more information or media inquiries about Vernon Neilly and his CD
project, please contact public relations company J.J. Entertainment at
[email protected], or Boosweet Records at [email protected].

The Specialist's new dancehall/reggae project
Wednesday, May 03 @ 03:49:50 GMT by bandweblogs | South Coast Music announces the launch of the Caribbean sensation artist known as "The Specialist." This creative and inventive artist brings a whole new outlook to "world music." In fact, you could say he is the missing element, with his new music project, "Pickin' Up." The specialist has brought Caribbean music to a whole new level!
The Specialist has successfully bridged the gap from old-school reggae to dancehall, mixing in R&B with Latino beats and controlling the whole mix with his own unique style of "love and harmony." His history and vision has created a sound that is both familiar yet soul quaking in it's new approach, assuring you just won't get enough.
The Specialist has a deep rooted history in the reggae world, playing on the same stage as reggae mega stars such as Peter Tosh and Robert Nester Marley, to name a few. The single "High Grade" was released a month ago and can be heard on most radio stations across the US.
See The Specialist live at the 25th International Reggae & World Music Awards at the Apollo Theater in NYC on May 6th.

Katharine Whalen (ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers) - out on June 6
Tuesday, May 02 @ 13:26:37 GMT by bandweblogs | KATHARINE WHALEN, FORMERLY OF SQUIRREL NUT ZIPPERS, PREPARES TO UNVEIL DIRTY LITTLE SECRET
Solo CD arrives June 6 on M.C. Records, New York City date announced.
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Katharine Whalen, former front-person in the roaring nineties swing band Squirrel Nut Zippers, is planning her return to music following a short hiatus with her first solo album in seven years, Dirty Little Secret. The album is slated to hit the streets June 6 on M.C. Records. You can check out tracks from the CD at
http://www.mc-records.com/html/katharinewhalen.html
http://www.myspace.com/katharinewhalen
Squirrel Nut Zippers met with worldwide success with their second album, Hot, which sold more than a million albums on the strength of the hit single "Hell." Riding high on that success, Whalen found she wanted to explore her inner jazz chanteuse, forming Katharine Whalen's Jazz Squad. She enjoys this opportunity to showcase her jazzier side, but comparisons to the legendary Billie Holiday, while favorable and flattering, made her realize that she still hadn't achieved what she set out to do: to find her own, true inner voice.

Fredy Polania as the only Canadian band to be featured on the Cabras soundtrack.
Other countries to follow include Israel, Japan, Colombia, Latvia, and
Australia. All the videos will count down to the unleashing of the official
website and trailer for the film.
"Retribution Song" will be available May 1st for stream and download at
www.cabrassoundtrack.com. The song will also be featured on the Cabras movie
soundtrack, due for release along with the movie in 2007. Inner Surge's video
is one of 20 that movie director Fredy Polania is filming to promote "Cabras",
making it the first movie soundtrack to film 20 music videos and have
them all available for download on the video iPods. To view all the videos
for the "Cabras" bands, go to www.cabrassoundtrack.com.
