Biography
After a long hiatus from music, both writing and singing, award winning songwriter Sean Croley has returned and recorded an EP of which one reviewer has said:

"their debut EP "Walk" contains amazing songs that easily could be featured on any release with these pop makers." (Keane and Coldplay)

There came a time in early 2006 when the urge to begin writing and recording seemed to well up inside Sean once again. He began writing songs within hours and recording them the next day and after amassing 15 good sounding demo's within 3 months where he narrowed it down to 5. This is when he reached out to friends ask them to play on what he now terms "a good songwriting demo." to come and play on this project. These friends included guitar player Bob Egan - Wilco, and Blue Rodeo. Tony Lind- Hewitt, and former guitarist for Thousand Foot Krutch. Drummer-Jim Boudreau whose resume includes The Wilkinsons, David Foster, Chuck Berry, and countless others. Steve Hogg, acclaimed bassist who played with Ian Thomas, Jamie Warren, and is a regular session player for Juno winning producer J. Richard Hutt.

This gave Sean a very solid sounding EP, well sculptured and very well produced. Now, all Sean needed was the live band. Again, a call went out to friends who knew people who knew people and the emails started to come in. One by one Sean met with each of the candidates turning some away and latching on to others telling them that they're in, never once did he ask to hear them play. The only thing he went on was word of mouth, gut feeling, and a prayer.

Together, they have taken the Seans songs to another level far beyond even Sean's expectations to create a live show that has brought the crowds to their feet for standing ovations.

This eclectic group of guys who's style and influence range from jazz to power punk have found one vision, one dream, one band that they all believe in.

They are...

"THE WEAK NEED"

A high energy pop act being regularly compared to such bands as Keane, Coldplay, Mute Math, Pilot Speed and U2. Their emotive delivery at their live shows has their fans saying that they were "blown away" and "speechless" afterwards. "They are like the Coldplay of Canada." Sean himself is quoted as saying "I love Keane and Coldplay. I really like their sound but honestly, I don't listen to them alot of the time because I don't want to start writing like they do. I'm totally influenced by their sound but I really try to take it somewhere totally different." Different indeed. It is easy to hear bands like The Cure, The Smiths, U2, and Canadian favorites, Pilot Speed, and Never Ending White Lights washing through The Weak Need as the listener is bathed in Croley's unique intimate vocals, textured harmonies and intricately woven lyrics.

Here is what industry and fans are saying about The Weak Need:

"The Weak Need is favourite band in my iTunes library (15.000 songs) " - Benjamin T.

"emotive, memorable writing and tasteful, very impressive production! " � Vlad Shusterman

"...very cool sounds. You're professionals...Maybe the new Cold Play " - 100 Ilusoes

"Cold Play... I think that's a great comparison, but you still manage to have an original sound.. " - J. Spengler

"Every once and awhile you stumble across a band that gives you goose bumps and no pun intended but I feel ya! " - Jill

"Your songs are great! You have to get a band together and start playing...people need to hear your music live. " - The Entropy

"Really lovely chorus in lay me down reminds me of keane." - Flo Anito

"One Word....Amazing!!! " - Cool Planet Entertainment

"Todays world, people will do anything to "FEEL" You've done that ..." - Nathan

"Great song and impressed by your voice...breath of fresh air" - Raine

"I just truly wanted to share with you what a powerful experience it was for both of us. We were not at all familiar with your music before last night, but it left a huge imprint on both of our hearts. Thank you for your courage in pursuing this dream. " - Lisa.

Trike is a duo, comprising of Stephen Taylor and Xania Keane. Stephen plays keyboard, digital guitar, trombone and sings. Xania plays fiddle, glockenspiel, keyboard, sings, dances (Irish/Quebecois style) and raps.

Trike's style is Synth-pop, New Wave, with various other elements. They are audience-interactive, teaching people dance moves they make up. Their songs are catchy pop songs, high energy and dancey. Onstage, there is a great deal of theatricality and performance.

Their influences are: Pulp, The Cure, Talking Heads, Devo, The Cars, Belle and Sebastian, old Public Enemy, Magnetic Fields and Joy Division.

There is a lot of humour in the music, and the songs are pretty bouncy/happy, although there are also a lot of bittersweet emotions in the lyrics.

Addicted to performing, Trike has played almost forty shows since the beginning of September in Vancouver and Victoria, BC, Canada.

Trike also won $20,000 on "The Gong Show" (a contest which was on radio and television) with their instructive-dance song, The Trikey, which enabled them to go on tour to Europe in the Spring of 2008.

Their album, "The New Album" was number six on the charts of Kootenay Coop radio for three months.

•  You're right
•  PERFECT! PERFECT!

Victor Stellar was born on September 1, 1971, in Russia, in Moscow. He began the creative activity in 1998. He is the composer and sound director, working in a genre of electronic music, loves to experiment with the sound. At the end of 2005 appeared the first album "Virtual wars". In July, 2006 is released a double album under the name "GLADIATOR". In December, 2006 is released the album under the name "DAY and NIGHT". In May, 2007 is released the album under the name "Romantic".

A perfect mixture of killer guitar and synth riffs, hi-octane sound & ultimate vocal hooks. Imagine The Killers mixed with 70's glam, spiced up with Rammstein and Marilyn Manson, grooved up by Goldfrapp and topped with Depeche Mode. That being said none of the above sound like The Surgents...

THE SURGENTS is the latest movement by Dr.Octavo and The Professor. Though The Surgents are relatively very young in music years, various other projects by the two music gurus preceded the creation of this high energy motivational group, including State Of Affairs in 1995, Quantum Force in 1998 and Protocol in 2000. Protocol has enjoyed a warm welcome in the Japana market with hits such as "Surfing USA" and "Indian Love". Dr.Octavo and The Professor did take a little music biz break, concentrating on creating the next generation of music geniuses in the form of Hugo (7), Isabella (4) and Oliver (2) - their offspring have already recorded numerous tracks such as "La La La" & "Na Na Na" hitting radio airwaves and clubs later this year. Doc Oc and The Prof met in 1992, after Doc's first official Kanatian album release, "The Chains That Bind Us", by Remote Control. The Professor applied for a keyboardist position at that time but the position was already taken and hence the two encountered each other in many "battle of the bands" wars. Though musical nemeses at the beginning, they eventually learned to respect their territories and managed to combine the dark forces to attack the music biz with full power. They have together survived rise and fall of the music empire getting ready for the ultimate attack in the form of The Surgents. Frustrated with the current state and deterioration of most music parties, they have created this coalition, with a hope to provide fresh ideas and music to the ears of their peers and followers. The first single, "The Show", deals with the brainwashing of the media and gives a new strength to rise up against this malicious weapon and TV machines. More subjects are about to be discussed in the upcoming tracks, creating the necessary energy and movement to do a better job in all fields of our daily lives. Please come back on a regular basis to read and listen to the latest news on The Surgents' airwaves and press...."Let The Show Begin" !!!!

Simon Collins –“Time for Truth”
Simon Collins, 28, was born in London, England. He, along with his mother and sister relocated to Vancouver, Canada when he was five. It was at that time that his father, rock legend Phil Collins, began teaching him how to play the drums. Simon spent a great deal of time on tour with Genesis and his father. It was then and there that he honed his skills as a competent drummer. Now it has become self evident that he inherited his father’s ability as a performer, composer and musician on drums, piano and
vocals. By the age of fourteen he began composing and producing his own material on the path of his own solo career. In 2000 Simon relocated from his home in Vancouver, Canada to Germany where his debut album "All of Who You Are" released on WEA Records immediately entered the German charts. The LP was released in over 30 countries worldwide, selling over 100,000 copies in Germany alone. The first single "Pride" was charted all over Eastern and Western Europe. The second single "Shine Through" co-written with Howard Jones, also became an instant radio hit.
With Simon relocating back to Canada, we present his second LP "Time for Truth" revealing a greater artistic depth that was not heard on the previous record. It proves him to be prolific not only as a singer/songwriter but also as a producer and multi-instrumentalist. Picking up where his father left off, Simon Collins has created a record that people can escape into and which has the timeless feeling that can only be captured by great song writing. He has the talent and the creative insight to confidently follow in his father’s footsteps while leading his own generation toward a new perspective and positive outlook. "Time for Truth" is a sonic evolution. It is an album written with the message from the current point of view that we all share as a new generation on the planet. A theme that searches for the common spiritual and celestial ground we all share with each other. Simon achieves his message through vast soundscapes and lush ambient plateaus, driven by a fusion of both electronic and organic beats, while interweaving heavy influences of Euro-trance and techno. Simon has embraced his electronic roots with this recording and in turn written strong, confident material that swirl in pop harmonies, generating a contemporary style of new wave.
With musical high lights such as the title track and epic opener "Time for Truth", and the sensitive and heartfelt ballad "Hold On" plus the alluring and hook filled "Out on the Playa", the listener is lead on a journey through time space and left with contemplative thought and irresistible melodies. Think of the lush and precise production of "Massive Attack" and "Depeche Mode" with the inspired and uplifting song writing of "Cold Play" and "Radio Head". With sometimes-unorthodox hooks and ambitious arrangements, balanced with clever and well-timed commercial appeal. It is a crafted work of sonic art at many levels. Therefore, It is no wonder that he decided to title the LP "Time for Truth". This new work offers the true vision and multi-faceted artistic capabilities of Simon Collins.

•  Very Phil...

RECENT 2006 STUFF@NIGHT, BOSTON INTERVIEW!

http://www.stuffatnight.com/rd0405/partying/documents/05211973.asp

DJ Dale Charles started DJ'ing around 1983 at some infamous Summer Beach House parties, playing mostly New Wave including B-52's, The Romantics, Elvis Costello, Rockpile, Buzzcocks, The Beat, The Pretenders, 999, Depeche Mode, The Go-gos and Prince. New Wave was it, a funner, fresh new scene and lifestyle had emerged, the birth era of synth-dance and the 12" remix single.

Connected by fate to the few important New England DJ's including Ed Fritz and Kevin Fennelly, Charles' interests grew stronger as the music grew more interesting. DJ Ed Fritz' "Baptism" and its parties in 1986-88 introduced Dale to the European and US' Techno, Industrial and House scenes. Kevin Fennellys excellent Summer Of 86 club "Level Vibes" also paved the way and inspired those who were lucky to be there.

But it was DJ Ed Fritz who schools all in attendance how to mix three different styles of music on three turntables (SL-1800's) at the same tempo at the same time. This was essentially the definition of "House Music", before it was so called - and the Baptism had taken place. DJ Dale Charles was formally reborn. Then in 1987, seeing it all in action again in Montreal at Club "Business" on St Laurent changed everything. This was it. The calling was about to be answered.

The East Coast residencies began in 1988 - in the small New England towns, on off nights, at first Decadence in Dover, NH, then Zoots Thursdays with Portland Maines Kris Clark. Then south to Bostons Hub Club in 1990-91, now club Felt, for a huge 1000 capacity International Night on Fridays.

On to a big move way out west in the fall of 1991 to San Diego, and the birth of the legendary SoCal and US Rave movement, at first pure in all its forms, joining music lovers together to experience exciting new music, advances in lighting technology, fine-tuned sound systems, and an uninhibited gathering of all races, religions, thinkers and do-ers, perhaps not experienced since the late 60's. It was a cultural phenomenon, a time to meet new people and stay up all hours and experience new music and expressions. DJ Dale Charles was a leading SoCal DJ in 1991-92, headlining most major events with residencies at the famous MicroRaves, Narnia, Opium, Playskool, Rubber, Evar, G.U.N. and countless other one-offs.

News of west coast Raves and its DJ's spread quickly across the US and Dale Charles started booking nationally, then to Mexico, Canada, Asia (sadly cancelled) and nearly every major US destination.

Producing several releases since 1992 as Sedona with Benny Blanco on OHM Records, Boston, and Rampant records LA, Dale Charles has maintained a MIDI synth studio since the late 80's, producing today under the names Too (Element Recordings), Sedona and Time Beings on both Syncopate and most recently Reversible Records.

DJ Dale Charles has DJ'ed with and has DEEP RESPECT for: Evar SD, Wicked SF, Primary UK, Benny Blanco, 333, Mgee, Gatherings SF, Sasha, John Digweed, Frankie Knuckles, Danny Howells, Derrick Carter, Moby, Tiga, Luc Raymond, Micheal Thomas, Tony, Paul Grogan, Barry Weaver, David Morales, Josh Wink, Anne Savage, Luv Dup, Doc Martin, Scott Hardkiss, Dominic UK, Marcus Wyatt, Dmitri from Dee-lite, Lil Louis, Frankie Bones, Adam X, Justin Johnson, Debo, Jellybean Benitez, Mark Farina, Pete Moss, Fred "kooky" Gianelli, Hector Romero, Jimmy Van M, Tin Tin, Taul Paul, Carl Cox, Rick Preston, Daeman, Mark E Quark, Jon Bishop, Thin e thin UK, Q-Bert, De La Soul, Primal Scream, Jonas Temple, Hipp-e, Armand Van Helden, Jeno, Garth, Marky, Joeski, Onionz, Ryde, Chocolate Factory NY, Felix Da Housecat, Brother Cleve, DJ Dan, Kevin Saunderson, LTJ Bukem, DJ Trixie, Misstress"... wanna come to my room and for some Kokanee...?"
