So when Brendan Bayliss sings\, "We believ e there's something here worth dying for\," to kick off Mantis's majestic t welve-minute title track\, you should take him at his word. \n \nMantis is the first Umphrey's album to consist entirely of material never previous ly performed on the road\, where the band rules the improv-rock circuit and plays more than 100 shows each year. Although the band already plays numer ous songs they have yet to record\, sometimes you just have to hold back in order to deliver a bigger bang. Mystique\, thy name is Mantis. \n \nUmp hrey's recorded their eighth album in an unusually relaxed fashion over the course of some twenty months in Manny Sanchez's I.V. Lab Studios in Chicag o (Steve Albini's Electrical Audio was also used). "It really helps to have a great friend who loves the band and who runs one of the best studios in town\," says Cinninger. "Manny has been a godsend." The band's longtime sou nd caresser\, Kevin Browning\, meticulously edited and mixed the material o n Mantis\; the result is Umphrey's finest produced album to date. \n \nV irtuosos and connoisseurs of The Riff\, Umphrey's has concocted a visual gr ammar of hand signals and body language to toss musical ideas back and fort h during the experimental "Jimmy Stewart" improvisations that punctuate the ir three-hour shows. Mantis likewise began at riff level\, when many of the band members presented each other with CDs containing hundreds of riffs th ey'd composed over the past dozen years. The best of these were painstaking ly displaced\, modulated\, and shifted about like Lego blocks\, growing fro m rough drafts into the elegant and emotionally fulfilling tracks on Mantis . \n \n"But isn't Umphrey's basically a jam band?" you ask. Not on this album. "We didn't want to overload the record with 80 minutes of music\," C inninger says. "We wanted to make it feel a certain way\, so we trimmed awa y a lot of the fat." The result is a concise 54-minute tour de force\, wher e the soulful guitar of Cinninger and intriguing lyrics of Bayliss blend wi th Cummins' jazz-funk pianistics\, Myers' volcanic swing\, Stasik's flowing bass\, and Farag's bright percussive color - making Mantis a virtual roadm ap of rock's outer limits. \n \nEven Cinninger's usually predominant gui tar lashings sound all the more remarkable for their tactical precision. "T here were a few key guitar moments where I really opened up and wanted to m ake a statement\," he says. "I wanted the solos to feel natural\, like on o ld Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin records\, when guitar solos were special mo ments that sounded very live and off the cuff." \n \nMantis's delivery s ystem is as innovative as the record itself. Pre-orders promise an unpreced ented level of downloadable bonus content - including demos\, live tracks\, alternate takes\, and fly-on-the-wall studio visits - that increase in qua ntity depending on how many pre-orders are received\, putting the overall s uccess of the pre-order in the hands of the fans.

Mantis will also use innovative PUSH(TM) technology by Digital Insert to continue delivering exclusive bonus materia l throughout 2009 via a site that can only be accessed with a physical or d igital copy of the album (www.umphreys.com/Mantis). \n \nFounded in 1997 in the shadows of the Golden Dome of Notre Dame in South Bend\, Indiana\, Umphrey's McGee soon made Chicago home base\, and set their sights on becom ing one of the premier live acts in today's touring circuit. Over the cours e of the last ten years\, the band has headlined festivals such as Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza\, and continues to sell out shows in the nation's premier venues coast to coast.

Generally\, the secluded location is a restricted access backs tage room or the isolation of a tour bus\, but then again\, Seattle-based A mber Pacific are not most bands.\n\n\n\n""At our shows\, we spend most of o ur time with fans talking around our merch table\,"" says guitarist/vocalis t Will Nutter. ""We generally don't hang out in the back all that much\, we just hang out on the floor\, talking and listening to stories from people\ ; often times telling us how our music has changed and saved their lives in so many different ways. It's really inspiring.""\n\n\n\nThis inspiration\, the moments between\, and the open communication from Amber Pacific's fans are the central themes of the band's newest Hopeless full'length\, Truth I n Sincerity. Notably\, Will was so moved by fans during the band's tours (i ncluding three straight years of Warped Tour appearances) that when he fina lly sat down in October 2006 to compile his thoughts\, he found himself hav ing inked the bulk of the album in less than a month's time. ""I just took little bits and pieces of my experiences and times from the last record unt il now and used that for what I wanted to write about\,"" he says. ""I gues s I work well under pressure.""\n\n\n\nThe band continued to be road'bound the fall of '05 and finished that year with a daunting average of playing f our'to'five shows every week. In early 2006\, Amber Pacific joined the Take Action! Tour to help raise awareness of teen suicide. The band jumped at t he chance to play on Warped Tour yet again that summer for the third year. The final run of shows in support of the band's debut album took place duri ng the fall of 2006\, on the eve of recording the newest album.\n\n\n\nWill says that since the first day\, Amber Pacific has always set high goals fo r themselves. Thus\, it is no surprise that they have lofty expectations fo r Truth In Sincerity � especially considering the relationships the band has established with its audience. ""We've probably talked to 90 percent of the kids that buy our records\,"" he says\, ""so it's really cool to have a personal connection with all those fans.""\n\n\n\nAnd such connections ha ve been extending even further online\, as Amber Pacific have chalked up ov er six million MySpace and over two million PureVolume plays. With their co ntagious melodies\, an inescapable ability to pen hooks\, a grounded approa ch to scene success\, and a relentless loyalty to the fans that brought the m here\, you can rest assured that history will earmark even bigger things to come for Amber Pacific.

""Every time I come out with a record\, they're like\, 'It's good but it doesn't do the live show justice.' With Keep Coming Back\, I feel that we've finally delivered an al bum that does exactly that."" \n \nMarking his debut release on Atlantic Records\, this set of original tunes does more than that. Recorded in just 11 days at Nashville's historic Ocean Way Studios\, Keep Coming Back confir ms Broussard's position as an artist with a unique gift of channeling the m ultiple spirits of classic R&B and soul into contemporary terms. \n \nEve n so\, Keep Coming Back is the pivotal album of Broussard's rocketing caree r. Why? Begin\, the artist advises\, with the musicians\; buttressed by Mus ic City session veterans Tim Akers on keys and Gary Burnette on guitar\, al l the players are members of Broussard's road band\, seasoned by the same e xperiences that have shaped him as an artist and performer. \n \nThe road to this point has been longer than one would expect from an artist as youn g as Broussard. Yet already he has toured with giants - Maroon 5\, Dave Mat thews Band\, Willie Nelson\, O.A.R. and Bonnie Raitt\, among others. He has honed his writing chops through collaborations with some of the top song c raftsmen in the business. He has won ovations at South-By-Southwest\, Bonna roo\, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival\, as well as at countless theaters around the country and on the court during halftime at the 2008 NB A All-Star Game. And he's hooked up with some outstanding duet partners\, i ncluding two noteworthy guests on Keep Coming Back: LeAnn Rimes\, whose cou ntry-meets-swamp-blues turn on ""When It's Good"" returns the compliment Br oussard paid as co-writer and vocal partner on ""Nothing Wrong\,"" from her 2007 album\, and pop/rock sensation Sara Bareilles (who has opened several Broussard tours) on the powerful ballad ""Why Should She Wait."" \n \nAl l of that\, the spiritual as well as the musical\, contributes to Broussard 's emergence as a more complex\, seasoned yet emotionally vital artist on K eep Coming Back. And his depth in American musical tradition confirms that as a member of the Atlantic roster\, he has come home to a place that can n urture his continued growth for years to come. The process began\, in fact\ , a few years ago\, when the late Ahmet Ertegun first heard a young Broussa rd perform with Solomon Burke during a tribute to Wilson Pickett at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame dinner - and promptly offered him a spot at the upcom ing Montreux Jazz Festival. \n \n""Keep Coming Back is me writing what I want to write at this moment in time\,"" Broussard says. ""And I'm very con tent to be able to do this at Atlantic Records\, where the tradition for re al music is so strong. I do wish Ahmet was still alive\; I know he and I wo uld have gotten along really well. But I also know Atlantic is the right pl ace to be and the right time for Keep Coming Back.""

Now\, Williams and his record company have had a few disagreements in the 10 years he's been with them\, some of them highly publicized. But what most people don't realize is how far back the Curb and Williams families go. ""Hell\, the guy was in the room the day I was born\,"" Hank says of label founder/owner Mike Curb. ""He drove my d ad to the hospital. So there's a long relationship there."" \n\n\n\nHank II I's live shows pay respects to both his country roots and the punk and meta l he cut his teeth on. He starts off with over an hour of hardcore country music\, then cross-breeds country and rock elements in a set that he bills as ""Hellbilly\,"" before climaxing the three-hour marathon with a stripped -down metal assault known as ""Assjack."" As for representing this side of his music on record\, Hank says\, ""There will definitely be a rock release . I have the Assjack stuff\, which is more screamin'\, and then we have our Hellbilly sound that's got some melodies to it and still got the steel and the fiddle on there. I got my band chompin' at the bit � they're ready t o go. Now we're just waitin' on the system\, I guess.""\n\n\n\nDespite his battles\, Hank III is pretty happy with where he's at now\, all in all. ""J ust to be on a major label and act independent is pretty cool for us\,"" he says. ""I had complete control of [2002's] Lovesick\, Broke & Driftin' \, and I had complete control of Straight to Hell \, so if anybody's gonna get shit\, it's gonna be me. I'm just now startin' the process all over again for the next record\, doin' it the same way. To me\, every record is a lear ning process\, and the biggest thing on this one is\, we're just very proud that we did it ourselves. No other record like this one is comin' out of N ashville."" \n\n\n\nOr anywhere else\, for that matter.

Their work fuses fine art and pop culture\, as in their renowned outsider pop shows bursting with stage effects presented in both art galleries and traditional concert halls. Their full-length albums of music include 1\, a punked-up digital party record trussed with conceptu al lyrics\; and Odyssey\, a rich emotional fantasia with a deep\, expansive sound. Fischerspooner's third album Entertainment\, a sophisticated pop ep ic bubbling with hooks\, releases in May\, 2009. \n \nFischer and Spooner met at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, where they collaborate d on performance art pieces. Years later in New York\, Warren was starting his career as a commercial director and Casey was ready to move .. a nine-y ear tenure with the experimental theatre company Doorika\; both were lookin g for a new creative outlet. Eager to rekindle their collaboration\, they a ttempted a TV pilot but became more interested in the digital soundtrack Wa rren had composed for the show. \n \nBetween 1998 and 2000 the duo wrote a spate of cool electronic tracks to accompany an ambitious new performance idea. The music was perfectly pitched for the turn of the millennium: a pu re digital statement equally informed by Spooner's love of pop confection a s by Fischer's classical training and background in the seminal math-rock b and Table. The show\, a smash-up of pop extravagance undercut by experiment al theatrics\, was carried off with aplomb by Spooner\, the flamboyant tric kster front man\, and driven home with Fischer's pulsating\, addictive beat s. With the help of an ever-expanding network of dancers\, singers\, design ers\, and artists\, the performances grew into large-scale arena-style pop spectacles staged in galleries and nightclubs. \n \nAfter an unlikely deb ut at the Starbucks on Astor Place\, subsequent shows jumped between clubs like Limelight and Baktun and art world venues like Jack Tilton Gallery\, P .S.1's Warm-Up series and a staging within Rikrit Tiravanija's "Apartment 2 1" installation at Gavin Brown's enterprise. Fischerspooner unveiled their first solo show at Gavin Brown in March\, 2000 with a series of marathon pe rformances\, five sets per night for five nights\, that cemented their repu tation as a pioneering\, uneasily categorized creative force. In 2001 they followed up with a supersized version of the show in Los Angeles\, and retu rned to rock New York in 2002 with a kaleidoscopic spectacular at current g allery Deitch Projects\, concurrent with the premiere of their short film " Sweetness." \n \nSelf-releasing the music at first\, Fischerspooner amass ed a dedicated international following during the heady first flowering of the digital music era. White labels and an underground vinyl release with D J Hell's International DeeJay Gigolo Records positioned them as a figurehea d of the burgeoning electro movement. Meanwhile\, their hyper-stylish perfo rmances at clubs like WMF in Berlin and Pyramid Club in New York left packe d houses awestruck. Intense press attention led to a record deal with club pioneers Ministry of Sound\, which drove "Emerge" into the UK Top 40\, lead ing to an appearance on Top of the Pops\, and landing them a worldwide excl usive with Capitol Records. \n \nAfter a few years of touring the U.S. an d Europe\, the duo began the grueling work of writing Odyssey. No longer a grass-roots operation making pop-art on a laptop\, Fischer and Spooner grap pled with themselves and each other\, a process reflected in the emotional depths attained on the record. Opening the writing process to collaborators \, the duo attracted a diverse group including songwriting powerhouse Linda Perry\, art-pop pioneer David Byrne\, and renowned intellectual Susan Sont ag\, who contributed the lyrics to "We Need A War." Other contributors incl uded longtime engineer and collaborator Nicolas Vernhes (Fiery Furnaces\, B lack Dice)\, L.A. producer Tony Hoffer (Beck\, Air)\, and French producer a nd songwriter Mirwais (Madonna). \n \nTo accommodate their new sound\, mu sicians were added to the live show. During the rehearsal process\, Fischer spooner presented the Excellent Workshop salon series at their studio in Wi lliamsburg\, Brooklyn where myriad artists were invited to show photography \, sculpture\, painting\, video and performances. In 2005\, after a sold-ou t premiere at New York's Canal Room\, the band embarked on a summer-long re sidency at Ibiza's Man-U-Mission\, the largest nightclub in the world. Perf orming every Monday night to tens of thousands\, they spent the rest of the week headlining clubs and festivals from Oslo to Istanbul. \n \nIn 2006\ , Fischerspooner shared a bill with Michael Stipe\, Bright Eyes and Rufus W ainwright for the "Bring 'Em Home Now" concert\, marking the third annivers ary of the invasion of Iraq. The group anchored Deitch Projects and Paper M agazine's second annual Art Parade\, crowning the procession with a dazzlin g float overflowing with musicians and dancers dressed by vanguard London d esigner Gareth Pugh. Casey also appeared as Laertes in the Wooster Group pr oduction Hamlet\, which included two new Fischerspooner songs composed for the show using Shakespeare's text. \n \nThe first tease of what was yet t o come arrived in 2008 with two singles released on Paris-based cult label Kitsuné. "The Best Revenge" a driving\, synth-layered pop number\, was fea tured on Kitsuné's Maison 5 compilation\, and "Danse en France\," a slung- back\, slinky dance track had a hit remix by D.I.M. A commission by choreog rapher Stephen Petronio resulted in an 18-minute adaptation of "Danse en Fr ance" used as the score of their piece "Beauty and the Brut\," garnering no tice in the New York Times after its world premiere at the Joyce Theater in May. \n \nIn June\, Fischerspooner was included in the exhibition "It's Not Only Rock 'n' Roll\, Baby!" at the Brussels Centre for Fine Arts along with Patti Smith\, Yoko Ono\, Laurie Anderson\, and Brian Eno. In one area they premiered "Get Confused\," a multi-wall music and video installation h ailed as the show's highlight by Frieze magazine. In another part of the mu seum were Fischerspooner themselves presenting "Rehearsal in Progress\," a live-in development process for their new performance open to the public du ring museum hours six days a week for three weeks. \n \nUsing inspiration s as diverse as Japanese theatre and the early years of the U.S. space prog ram\, this new performance continues Fischerspooner's alchemical synthesis of experimental theatrics and pop spectacle. The work was developed at the Performing Garage in New York with artistic consultation by The Wooster Gro up\, and featured in the 2008 Sao Paulo Bienal\, staged inside the iconic O skar Neimeir building. \n \nIn May\, Fischerspooner will release Entertai nment\, their third full-length album. Recorded over a two-year period with producer Jeff Saltzman (The Killers\, The Sounds) the music marks a furthe r maturation of the group's sound. Written and recorded independently in a carriage house in Brooklyn\, the primary collaborators this time were an in timate circle of artists working on the live show: Ian Pai\, Ben Bromley an d Sam Kearney. The album's special guests include actress/performance artis t Ann Magnuson (Bongwater)\, UK musician Gabriel Olegavich (Lady Sovereign\ , Spektrum) and electronic collagist Steven Stein (Double Dee & Steinski). \n \nA taste of the unexpected\, full of surprise flavors\, Fischerspoone r looks forward to unleashing their new work in 2009: Entertainment\, an al bum aswirl with ideas and fresh sounds\, and an electric stage show bridgin g the worlds of art and pop.

With thirteen titles that grab your belly\, your feet\, your heart and your head\, from the ghettos of Lagos to the pal aces of corrupt politicians\, Day by Day takes us through the winding roads of African paradox. Why is such a rich continent inhabited by the world's poorest people? \n \nCopying note for note his Father's music has never b een Femi's goal. If he accompanied Fela's musicians during his youth\, he d ecided as early as 1986 to free himself up and create his own band. Whilst always respecting his musical heritage\, Femi has refined over more than tw enty years\, an Afrobeat with soul-jazz nuances that is entirely his own. \n \nThe route taken has always been original\, from his signing with Moto wn in the early 90's until his ground-breaking album in 2001 "Fight To Win" \, for example\, when he joined with rappers Mos Def and Common and funkmas ter James Poyser\, amongst other American luminaries. These rich experience s only served to re-enforce his ultimate conviction\; his music has never b een as intense as when brewed in a Nigerian cauldron and matured in the hot -house atmosphere of the Shrine - his Lagos nightclub. \n \nServing as an African laboratory the Shrine is an open house for the dispossessed\, a me eting point for popular dissenters whilst also being a centre for celebrati ng the convergence of cutting-edge African music and dance. \n \nOr is it simply because of the latest haranguing refrain of songs like "Tell Me" wh ich is found on this album. 1n any event these persecutions recall and conf irm an unshakeable fact\; Afrobeat emanating from the Kuti family is above all else a music of combat. \n \nImmortalised in Femi's "live" DVD in 200 4 ("Live At The Shrine" MK2/Uwe) he hoped to expose in a raw and savage fas hion this reality. Three years later this album launches another challenge\ , to re-create in the studio the magic and burning energy of a Femi Kuti co ncert. Three tracks from the "live" have been re-interpreted for the occasi on. Telling it like it is\, this is perhaps the finest work amongst Femi's discography. These twelve tracks offer a more focussed Afrobeat than ever b efore\, recorded with his Producer\, Sodi\, this album benefits from a comp licity that has grown ever stronger over the past twelve years. Day by Day is Nigeria in all of its states. We find elaborate instrumental patterns\, both in their texture and in their structure ("Demo Crazy") refrains as sou lful as the best old hits Curtis Mayfield hits ("Eh Oh") and hot numbers to set light to any dance floor. His group\, Positive Force\, built the found ations in Lagos and\, during timely visits during sessions in Paris\, other artists brought their building blocks to the structure. Keziah Jones made his guitar swing on "Tell Me" and "Dem Funny". Femi's young son\, Madé\, a lso joined the adventure\, participating in all the tracks on this deliciou s album.

"It was an eye-opening experience because we heard a uniqu e sound\," says Johnston. "Something coalesced that night." \n \nEmphasiz ing song craft and unafraid to push its boundaries\, things began snowballi ng quickly. In 1999\, the band debuted with Elevation\, produced by Grammy- winning dobro player Sally Van Meter and released (like each of its ensuing studio discs) on their own Frog Pad Records. Yonder Mountain returned in 2 001 with Town by Town\, helmed by Grammy Award winning songwriter and multi -instrumentalist\, Tim O'Brien. \; Van Meter was back behind the boards for the 2003 set Old Hands\, a concept album of sorts that featured the so ngwriting of Benny "Burle" Galloway. \; Featured on the evocative tunes about cowboys\, miners and all sorts of hard-livin' Western folk were O'Br ien\, lauded fiddleman Darol Anger (Bela Fleck\, David Grisman Quintet\, Va ssar Clements) and dobro player Jerry Douglas (Alison Krauss\, Emmylou Harr is). \; In between those studio discs\, the band released Mountain Trac ks Volume 1-IV\, issued on Frog Pad Records\, and each capturing the energy of its increasingly popular live shows. \; Their last studio release\, "Yonder Mountain String Band" was produced by rock producer Tom Rothrock ( Foo Fighters\, Elliot Smith\, Beck) creating a sound for the band that cont inues to close the gap between bluegrass and rock. \; It's an album tha t "represents us more than any other record we've done\," states Aijala\, " because it incorporates more of our musical influences than ever before. It 's a really cool thing to be a part of and I'll never take for granted just how lucky we are to do what we do. It makes me more excited for the future ." \n \nWith little radio support\, Yonder Mountain has become one of the fastest rising touring bands in the country\, its fanbase having ballooned over the past five years through steady gigging and high-profile festival sets\, all of which are full of improv and none of which feature the same s et list. "Now that we're maturing as performers\, our improvisation is more beholden to playing with good tone\, good feel\, good timing\," says Johns ton. \n \nIt can't be understated just what the band has achieved with th at untraditional banjo/bass/mandolin/guitar line-up. Using bluegrass as its bedrock\, the band has grown like few rock bands even do these days. "It's funny\," says Austin. "But now we're selling out Red Rocks in Denver\, jus t 40 miles from where we became a band." \; Yonder will return to Red R ocks August 2nd after last year's triumphant sold-out show. \; \; T his summer will be a big year for the band with a co-headline tour with lon gtime collaborator Keller Williams\, lots of festivals (Bonnaroo\, Rothbury \, Telluride Bluegrass\, the band's own North West String Summit)\, and end ing the summer with a hometown show at Red Rocks.

Like many s uch kids\, between them they eventually concluded that their own attempts t o imitate what had informed them could be construed as a worthy variation o n the many forms that preceded. They do everything that's required to confo rm to the currently received ideas of what a band is: ostensibly to play in struments at the same time\, but also have a title for the work created.\n\ n\n\nKele picked up a guitar when his hands enabled him to do so and his br ain gave him the inclination. Russell had already done as much beforehand w hen they met in 1998. In the fine print of music papers and in telephone co nversations they enabled meetings with Gordon and Matt who also had ideas o f some relevance to bring to the collective effort. In this sense a band wa s created.\n\n\n\nHenceforth should follow a list of auteurs and musicians that figured in the formative minds of the four as they went about their wo rk. But to do as much seems churlish in an already self-referential world. Suffice to say there would be no band without the efforts of guitar bands f ormed in British and American towns in the 70s\, 80s and 90s\, as well as v isionary writers and artists of various kinds whose work has informed the w orld and culture itself as it stands. The precise names are as good as any you can come up with\, in fact probably much\, much better.

Unique with her minimal pumping beats and loved by true innovators as diverse as Deborah Harry\, Iggy Pop\, Bjork\, Josh Homme\, Li l Kim\, Kelis\, 2 Many DJs\, M.I.A. and LCD Soundsystem not to mention a fu ll embrace from the fashion and art world (featured on Paris runways\, the backdrop for Victoria's Secret TV Runway broadcast\, photographed by Karl L agerfeld\, inspired Kate Moss to sport a beard on the cover of W Mag). Her live shows are legendary - a onewoman Kiss concert that has left the pop wo rld in awe! \n \nWhere Teaches was about the self and Fatherfucker was ab out blurring the lines and asking questions about yourself\, ImPeach My Bus h is an album for the masses\, a social album -- to challenge\, educate and encourage. ImPeach My Bush - the title obviously refers to getting rid of 'him in the Whitehouse' as one interpretation\, but in the Peaches way of q uestioning power structures through the medium of sex\, it also says if you don't get Peaches by now\, censor her pussy. In the end\, the message is d elivered via Peaches' innovative trademark electro-rock cannon. And in 2006 \, Peaches set out to infiltrate the mainstream without compromise\, and in filtrate she did\; 2006 landed "Do Ya" in the summer campaign for The Gap\, "Boys Wanna Be Her" in Ugly Betty and The L Word\, the classic "Fuck The P ain Away" re-emerged on itunes top 5 electronic charts following it's place ment in Jackass 2. "Downtown" lives on in The Soprano's playstation video g ame. Peaches was nominated for the second time in 2006 for a GLAAD Award fo r Outstanding Musical Performer. "Boys Wanna Be Her" video was nominated by the MVPA for best make-up (you should see the blood!)\, Peaches was invite d to appear as herself for the Showtime drama The L Word\, and kicked off t he IFC Rollin's season opener this spring. \n \nPeaches stepped up the pr oduction by co-producing the record with Mickey Petralia (Beck\, Saul Willi ams\, John Cale\, Ladytron\, Moving Units\, Dandy Warhols\, Eels) and Greg Kurstin (Beck\, Bird and The Bee\, and was once locked down with Marlon Bra ndo as his piano player\, albeit only for a month)\, ImPeach My Bush was re corded at Jeff Pocaro's (the drummer from Toto\, no less) self-built studio in LA. The Last two albums were made almost solely with the MC505 box.

"It's my overwhelming desire to get out and play mus ic for people. I feel like a racehorse that's been stuck in the stables a b it too long. The doors are locked and no one can find the key." With WANDER LUST\, the doors - and the floodgates - seem wide open\, and the result is the most mature\, sensual\, honest and compelling work of Rossdale's life i n music. \n \nAfter years spent at the top of rock's grungy heap - and th en a couple more in a peculiar sort of high-profile musical wilderness - Ro ssdale has brought it all back home on a vivid\, widescreen rock album that found him working closely with famed producer Bob Rock. Now that WANDERLUS T is finally completed\, Rossdale can hardly wait to get back on the road. "This album is my way of saying `Let me out\,'" Rossdale says. "I'd love to take my family with me\, but I do have a burning desire to go out and play for people again. I've felt too corralled for too long\, so this deep sort of wanderlust has set in."

The album announcement comes just weeks after Jenny wrapped a world wide tour in support of Rilo K iley's Under The Blacklight album (Warner Bros Records\, 2007). \n \nSome of Lewis' most steadfast collaborators appear on Acid Tongue: Johnathan Ri ce\, Farmer Dave Scher\, Jason Boesel\, Jason Lader and M Ward. She also in vited other notable musician friends into the fold\, including Elvis Costel lo for a duet ("Carpetbaggers")\, Chris Robinson (of The Black Crowes)\, Be nji Hughes\, Zooey Deschanel (of She & Him) & Vanessa Corbala (of Whisperto wn2000) on backing vocals\, Paz Lenchantin (A Perfect Circle / The Entrance Band) and her sister Ana provided strings\, Davey Faragher (of The Imposte rs) on bass\, as well as Laurel Canyon's own Jonathan Wilson on guitar\, an d even members of Jenny's own family. Her sister Leslie Lewis provided back ing vocals on two songs while her father\, harmonica virtuoso Eddie Gordon makes a star turn on rumbling bass harp. \n \nThe all analog\, no Pro-Too ls sessions were all part of a shared aesthetic between Lewis\, her produce rs\, and her musician collaborators\, working quickly and tracking her voca ls entirely live and without embellishment. Recorded at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys\, California in just 3 weeks\, the album's tracks\, disparate a s they are\, share a sparkling vitality\; Lewis' voice has never sounded so expressive and the narratives have never been so hard-hitting and acerbic. \n \nAcid Tongue will be released in September 2008\, on Warner Bros Rec ords and Jenny & her band will perform a string of shows with Conor Oberst as well as her own ACL Festival show.

Although New Bruns wick\, New Jersey's The Gaslight Anthem have only technically been a band f or two-and-a-half years\, in that short amount of time they've managed to b ecome one of the punk underground's most celebrated acts\, spurring a culti sh fan base with their music and completing successful tours with acts like Against Me!\, the Loved Ones and the Bouncing Souls. If The Gaslight Anthe m's ascent from an obscure New Jersey band to punk message board favorites seems sudden to you\, imagine what it's like to actually be in the band. "T hings have happened so fast for us that we haven't really had time to sit b ack and reflect or go 'What just happened?'" candidly admits front man Bria n Fallon. "I can't say that we were prepared for any of this at all\; I'm j ust very grateful that we're here." \n \nThat level of excitement is only going to increase with the band's SideOneDummy debut\, THE '59 SOUND. Wher eas last year's full-length SINK OR SWIM (XOXO Records) was recorded in und er two weeks\, for THE '59 SOUND the band - which also features bassist Ale x Levine\, drummer Benny Horowitz and guitarist Alex Rosamilia - spent six weeks in the studio with producer and former Flogging Molly guitarist Ted H utt (Chuck Ragan\, The Bouncing Souls) to craft an album that reconciles th e band's love for classic rock and soul icons such as Bruce Springsteen\, O tis Redding and Tom Petty with their New Jersey punk roots to create a uniq ue musical amalgam that transcends genres and stereotypes. "Making this rec ord was a completely different recording process than anything we've ever d one before\," Horowitz explains. "It's the first time we ever worked with a producer and I think we all had to get used to that\, but it allowed us to do a ton of stuff that we wouldn't have tried before." \n \nHowever\, de spite the professional set-up that went into making THE '59 SOUND\, the dis c retains the band's dynamic and youthful live energy\, which has become a hallmark of the band's performance style. "We tried to make these songs fee l as alive as possible and approach it like we were writing a set list\," F allon describes. "Instead of thinking about it like writing a record\, we j ust wanted to write the coolest live songs that we could. We wrote this rec ord with the intention of playing it live and it's really a preview of seei ng us onstage\," he adds. The result is an album that is so timeless that i t could have been recorded in 1978 or 2008\, eschewing distorted guitars an d endless layering in favor of carefully arranged tracks that were painstak ingly thought out and flawlessly executed. \n \nCorrespondingly\, from th e anthemic rallying cry of title track "The '59 Sound" and the arena-ready syncopated rocker "Miles Davis & The Cool\," to stripped-down ballads such as "Here's Looking At You\, Kid" and the neo-soul crooner "Even Cowgirls Ge t The Blues\," THE '59 SOUND is far and away the most adventurous release i n the band's short but prolific career\, picking up exactly where the band' s recent Señor And The Queen EP left off. "When I was a little kid listeni ng to Springsteen I remember thinking these aren't songs\, these are gigant ic rides you went on - and I thought if I could even attempt to do that tha t would be excellent\, so that's what we tried to do this time around\," Fa llon says\, noting that aside from The Boss\, The Gaslight Anthem were high ly influenced by classic soul artists like Otis Redding\, Marvin Gaye and S am Cooke\, each of whom are directly referenced in the mythology of THE '59 SOUND. \n \nLyrically\, Fallon isn't afraid to wear his influences on hi s tattooed sleeves\, and his growth as a songwriter is evident in the way h e's been able to step outside of himself on THE '59 SOUND. "I'm actually te lling a few stories about some of my friends this time around because it fi ts in with this theme of growing up and stepping into adulthood\," Fallon e xplains. "Some of my friends are having kids\, some are getting married\, s ome are getting divorced\," he says\, adding that like many songwriters\, w hen he writes in the first-person it isn't necessarily about him. "This was the first time any of us had gone through these things in life and I kept talking to them on the phone and all these things came out. I felt like I s hould tell their stories instead of just my own\, because after you write s o many songs you get bored writing about yourself." \n \nUnlike a lot of today's rock sensations\, The Gaslight Anthem aren't going to take a single second of their ride for granted. "We're not that young and we've already had our hands in the real world\, working terrible jobs\," Horowitz explain s\, adding that The Gaslight Anthem's line-up has never changed\, and that there's a bond between all of them that's difficult to describe. "We didn't go straight from underground music to this fantasy world of being a profes sional musician\, we all did the other side and didn't like it\," he summar izes\, sounding palpably excited. "If this is in front of us and this is ac tually possible\, well that's the best thing in the world\, you know\," he adds with a grin\, "and we'll smile every time we play\, that's a fact."

We've made a record a bout choosing life\, about choosing to live\, about stepping out of the dar kness and into the light.

Michael i s a songwriter's songwriter drawing from a variety of influences\, from the classic pop of Randy Newman to the synth work of Giorgio Moroder. \n \nT he Chunk of Change EP was originally put together as a (belated) Valentine' s Day present to Angelakos' girlfriend which then prompted him to give it o ut to friends and fellow students at Emerson College. \; Angelakos wrot e and recorded the entire record by himself and it only hints at what is to come from this extremely talented perfectionist. The production of the rec ording - brief\, sporadic\, and explosive - worked towards the development of Angelakos' signature euphoric and blissfully melancholic sound. Frenchki ss Records will reissue the ep this fall with the addition of two bonus tra cks "Better Things" and "Sleepyhead" that are already catching the online w orld on fire. \; All of this is in preparation for Passion Pit's debut full length coming out in early 2009. \n \nPlaying as a five piece live\ , Passion Pit has already blown away audiences opening up for Death Cab For Cutie\, Girl Talk\, These New Puritans and more. \; Also winning the W FNX/Boston Phoenix Best Music Poll as the Best New Local Act of 2008\, Pass ion Pit hopes to bring their soulful dance explosion to your town this fall .

Following that\, the singer/rapper scored three more top ten h its including “Me Love\,” “Take You There” and “There’s Nothin .” He has sold more than six million digital singles\, more than 4.5 mi llion ringtones and has toured with artists like Gwen Stefani and Chris Bro wn. His self-titled debut Sean Kingston went to #1 in 21 countries and sold over 1 million worldwide. “Take You There” and “Love Like This” cl imbed the radio and iTunes charts together giving him back-to-back hits in January. With a musical bloodline that includes Jamaican legendary producer Jack Ruby as his grandfather\, it’s no wonder Sean\, who is finishing up his sophomore album\, Tomorrow\, for Epic Records\, was able to introduce a new genre where rap\, reggae\, pop\, doo-wop and remarkable songwriting a ll combine into something totally refreshing.\n\nSean’s sophomore album\, Tomorrow\, due out on Epic Records in August is a reflection of his growth as a young man and evolution as an artist. The life experiences gained ove r the past two years have been invaluable to Sean and have greatly influenc ed him. As he evolves\, he remains positive and hopeful of what the future has to bring. The title track on the album reflects this sentiment. There a re also messages of personal acceptance as heard in the song “Face Drop and echoed throughout with songs including “Magical”.\n\nThe theme of Tomorrow is further evidenced by the expansion of artists and producers Se an collaborated with on the album. While he continues to work with J.R. Rot em\, Sean also teams up with pop-punk veterans Good Charlotte co-writing Shoulda Let You Go”\, world-wide superstar Wyclef Jean who produced and lends vocals to “Ice Cream Girl” and chart-topping producer Red One on the first single off the album “Fire Burning.” SUMMARY:Sean Kingston END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:Showbox at the Market\n1426 1st Avenue\n\nSeattle\, WA 98101 SEQUENCE:0 CLASS:PUBLIC DTEND:20091024T220000 URL:http://culturemob.com/events/6005949-ghostface-killah-wa-seattle-downto wn-98101-showbox-at-the-market?s=ical DTSTART:20091024T200000 UID:November 21\, 2009 15:31:26_844430889@diamond.culturemob.com DTSTAMP:20091121T153126 DESCRIPTION:Ghostface Killah rose to fame as a founding member of the hip-h op collective Wu-Tang Clan.

From his early days as a member of the groundbreaking '80s group Tony! Toni! Tone! through his work as an award-winning producer of such artists as Joss Stone\, The Roots\, Snoop Dogg\, John Legend among many others and his own solo albums\, the multi-talented Raphael Saadiq ha s kept the faith. "Every record I've ever made has had those influences...T he Temptations\, Al Green\, The Four Tops and so on\," Raphael explains fro m the L.A. studio where he recorded his latest illustrious work. This album is the culmination of a life time of experiences informed by the music I g rew up on." \n \nIndeed. Listening to The Way I See It\, it's immediately obvious that it could have been recorded thirty years ago. Musically cohes ive in the same way that soul music albums were recorded back in the day\, Raphael's third solo album and first for Sony BMG is not merely a throwback : it is as close to the kind of record made in Detroit\, Chicago\, Memphis\ , Miami or New York by any number of super R&B hit makers to anything recor ded since. While other contemporary artists may attempt to emulate the soun d and flavor of '70s soul music\, Raphael Saadiq brings real emotion\, real feeling and production values that are simply (to borrow a popular phrase from back then)\, right on. \n \nLoyal Tony! Toni! Tone! fans will partic ularly appreciate "100 Yard Dash\," which Raphael describes as "a juke join t\, Booker T.-type groove. I reflected back to my first T!T!T! albums when I was singing in a high tenor voice." British R&B fans - specifically 'Nort hern Soul' lovers - will dig "Keep Marching" with its insistent driving bea t and Raphael notes\, "That's the kind of song that can drive people crazy at my live shows...it's a performance piece." Cognizant of the strong respe ct and appreciation that UK audiences have for authentic soul music\, Rapha el adds\, "I can't wait to get to Europe to perform the songs on this album !" \n \nNow comes The Way I See It\, a masterful collection of new materi al that speaks to Raphael Saadiq's deep love for rhythm and blues. "While I was making the album\, I watched videos by Gladys Knight & The Pips\, Al G reen\, The Four Tops...and fused them all together\," Raphael says speaking of the further inspiration he found for creating the album\, which truly s howcases the rich diversity of funky grooves and smooth balladry that is Sa adiq's calling card. \n \nConcluding\, Raphael Saadiq - whose most recent studio excursions have included work with Keisha Cole\, Snoop Dogg\, The G rouch and Dave Young - says his latest album was "harder to make than "Inst ant Vintage." Once I got into this\, I got almost stuck 'in character\,' th e character of the old school singers I listened to. But I'm happy and exci ted it's done. I put in a lot of work and I feel like I achieved something really great." As longtime R&B historian and expert David Nathan of Soul Mu sic.com says\, "Raphael Saadiq's latest album is the closest I've heard to a genuine\, feel good R&B record since the '70s! Unlike others who copy or attempt to recreate the sound of soul from those days\, Raphael Saadiq deli vers the real thing." 'Nuff said.

" - taken from "Feeling Alright." The visual and emotional picture painted by the preceding words aptly describes the Rebelution experience. The Santa Barbara-based reggae quartet is on a mission to spread positivity\, unity and awareness to any and all who will listen\, and\, lately\, it seems as i f the number of interested parties may never stop growing. \n \nOriginall y formed in 2004\, the group consists of vocalist/guitarist Eric Rachmany\, keyboardist Rory Carey\, bassist Marley D. Williams (who hand selected eac h member and formed the group) and drummer Wesley Finley. It was their mutu al attendance of music classes at college in Santa Barbara that initially b rought them together\, and it was in this environment that the seeds of the ir successful future were planted. While residing in nearby Isla Vista (whe re the majority of the college population lives)\, the group began to build serious momentum through consistent gigging and the release of a self-titl ed EP. Before they knew it\, they were one of the biggest draws in the area - and not just in the reggae genre. "It definitely went to the next level when we\, literally\, had thousands of people watching us perform in Isla V ista on Friday nights\," explained Rachmany. The band's upbeat\, highly dan ceable grooves were charting a direct course for bigger and better things. It was with the release of their first full-length album in June of '07\, C ourage To Grow\, that the group's major breakthrough would be made. Not onl y did the record garner mass downloads and radio play on monster stations l ike San Diego's 91X\, Los Angeles' KROQ and San Francisco's Live 105 (where they are now in full rotation)\, but it was also selected as iTunes Editor 's Choice for Best Reggae Album of 2007. \n \nAs an indie band\, Rebeluti on's critical accomplishments are majestic and hold ground most major artis ts would covet. Along with the iTunes award for best reggae album of 2007\, their debut "Courage To Grow" has been in the top 10 iTunes Reggae album s ales since its release in June 2007 and now stands at second most downloade d. In the Billboard reggae charts it is currently fourth. \n \nStand out performances of 2008 include The Ragga Muffins Tribute to Bob Marley Festiv al\, The Santa Barbara Bowl with Pennywise and The Offspring\, Sierra Nevad a World Music Festival\, Reggae Rising as well as a headlining slot at the Honda US Open of Surfing presented by O'neill and Michael Franti's "Power t o The Peaceful" Festival in Golden Gate park. \n \nRebelution's giving us all they got\, and they're doing it with fat smiles on their faces.

We traveled around that summer and went back to scho ol in the fall. A few years later we put out a record called New Way to be Human and I dropped out of college. We decided to really give music a go an d started touring a bit more seriously. In closing\, I am so grateful for t he gifts that I've been given. Near the top of the list would be the camara derie that we have with each other on the road. Besides the fact that my br other's in the band\, it really does feel a family out there on tour. I kno w it's not the cocky rock and roll thing to say\, but I am so proud to be m aking music with these guys every night. I feel so privileged to be able to play these songs with them. I love screaming these songs out with them. An d I have a deep respect for everyone who comes every night. We have always tried to break down the wall between the stage and the audience. I feel lik e I've done my job if we leave the stage while everyone in the club is stil l singing. Communication has always been the goal. You see\, I want to sing a song that will continue long after we're gone. So thanks for reading. Th anks for singing along. Thanks for making theses songs your own.

Ov er the last ten years\, her accomplishments in Japanare simply staggering. Her 1999 debut FirstLove_ is the country's biggest-selling album of all tim e\, and three of heralbums rank among the Top Ten best-sellers. She has had 12 Number One hits\,including four songs in Japan's all-time Top 100. 2001 's Distance_ had the largest first-week sales for any album in Japanesemusi c history\, selling an astonishing three million copies. In total\, the you ngsinger has sold more than 52 million albums. \n\n \;\n\nBut unlike mo st pop starlets around theworld\, Utada is also a songwriter and producer\; indeed\, she says that shethinks of herself as a composer more than as a p erformer. And on ThisIs The One_**\, her new Island Def Jam album [featurin g ten self-pennedsongs produced by the powerhouse producers Stargate (Ne-Yo \, Rihanna\, Beyonce)and Tricky (Britney Spears\, Madonna\, Mariah Carey)] 26-year-old Utada revealsthe unique sense of songcraft that is poised to ma ke her a force in the US andEuropean music communities.\n\n \;\n\n"I wa nted to make something that’saccessible but not cheap—not low-class or stupid\, but still appealing to a wideaudience\," says Utada. "I like to ma ke music that’s multi-layered.You might like a song and want to dance\, b ut not really dive into the lyricsand analyze them. And then if you’re mo re bookish and you like words\, you mightnotice the references I make\, to Captain Picard or Freddie Mercury or WinonaRyder.\n\n \;\n\n"Both thing s are just as importantto me—to be catchy\, so when you hear a song on th e radio it sticks out\, andalso to have that depth."\n\n \;\n\nIn conve rsation\, Utada is endlesslysurprising\, instantly shattering any expectati ons or stereotypes. The list ofheroes and influences that she cites—from the Cocteau Twins to Conan O'Brien\,from author Roald Dahl to the Notorious B.I.G.—is unpredictable but extremelytelling. "I like smart people\," sh e says. "Not whether you'reeducated or not\, just whether you have that spa rk\, that light in your attic."\n\n \;\n\nBorn and raised in Manhattan andeducated at Columbia University\, Hikaru Utada grew up surrounded by mus ic. Herfather\, Teruzane Utada\, was an accomplished musician and producer\ , and hermother\, Keiko Fuji\, was a successful Japanese enka_ (ballad) sin ger. Utada spent her youth shuttling between NewYork City and Tokyo\, but h er most consistent home was the recording studio. Byage 11\, she had writte n and recorded her first song\, and by the time shegraduated from junior hi gh school\, she had been signed by EMI Records\; herfirst album\, Precious_ \, was recordedin English\, but didn't come out in the US because of busine ss problems at thelabel\; it was subsequently released in Japan.\n\n \; \n\nAfter moving to Tokyo full-time\, shebegan recording in Japanese\, and her debut album in that language\, First Love_\, was an explosive\, histori csuccess. Since then\, she has had five Number One albums in Japan—most r ecently\,Heart Station_ in 2008\, which was theyear's best-selling non-comp ilation album.\n\n \;\n\nWith that level of popularity\, it'seasy to wo nder why Utada is taking the difficult step of starting over as a newartist for a new audience. "It's true that I could have stuck to my throneand tak en the easy way\," she says\, "but I felt that my creativity\, myhumanity w ould be endangered by staying in that position. I don’t want to justbe th is crazy artist who lives in la-la land\, I want to be in touch with therea l world and stay humble. And I like it when something feels scary—I see f earas a guiding light."\n\n \;\n\nUtada did make one earlier foray into the English-language marketplace with the Exodus _**album n 2004. But event hough the singles "[](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easy_Breezy)"and "Devil Inside" were hits on the club charts\, she views the newalbum as her true d ebut. "On that album\, I was so insecure\," shesays. "I was trying too hard \, it wasn’t natural. But on ThisIs The One_**\, there’s a maturity\, a more free-flowing and naturalconfidence."\n\n \;\n\nIn approaching the new album\, Utada wasvery careful about choosing her collaborators and set ting their expectations."With both teams\, I wanted them to lay out the bas ic tracks\," shesays\, "but I told them that I have to write my own songs\, with completecontrol over melody and lyrics."\n\n \;\n\nThe producers also turned out to havevery different processes. "With Stargate\, it was al l data transfer\,"she says. "I recorded most of the vocals in Tokyo and sen t them to Norwayor New York. They loved it—they were like ‘This is the future!” But withTricky\, we actually spent time in the studio together\, and that was nice andwarm. I’m not much of an extrovert\, so it was a go od experience to have tocommunicate and get to know a new person."\n\n  \;\n\nUtadasingles out the track "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence –FYI"(whic h includes samples from experimental pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto andreferences to the film Merry Christmas\,Mr. Lawrence_) as a central moment in determi ning her final vision of thealbum. "I recorded the demo in December of 2007 \," she says\, "butit was a difficult song\, and I wasn’t satisfied with it—I had to try to get tothe bottom of it. And then just a few months ago \, I suddenly came up with theright lyrics\, changed the melody in places\, and it made sense.\n\n \;\n\n"When that songcrystallized\," she continu es\, "the message of it was very strong andconfident\, and I felt like it w as a good introduction to me\, that it fits inwith my current story."\n\n&n bsp\;\n\nIn contrast\, the breezy "Apple andCinnamon" came "almost too easi ly" to Utada. The vocals on thefinal version are mostly what she recorded a s the demo. "I almost don'teven feel like I made it\," she says. "I didn’ t get to savor theexperience of it." But her own favorite song on the album is the flirty\,sophisticated "Me Muero"—"no other song makes me feel the waythat one does."\n\n \;\n\nIt's been a longjourney\, full of many mi les and many melodies\, for Utada to get to this album.But the lessons she' s learned ultimately gave her a clear sense of what she waslooking for. "I wanted to get back to basics\," she says."Nothing gimmicky\, just very stra ightforward and confident\, with a senseof humor. I was so sure of what I w as doing\, and I just became more of anadult—finally." SUMMARY:Utada END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
