Euterpe is currently composed of Jon Badiali alone, its founder. The band's title comes from the Greek muse of music and lyric poetry of the same name.

My objective with Euterpe is simply to create for myself a means for creative expression, and to work on a lasting project that will eventually impact some lives in a positive way.

LamRatLazIt1st is a half-British, half South American three piece progressive / post punk band comprising Wagner (drums/vocals), Matthew (guitar/vocals) and Keith (bass/vocals).

The band was formed around September 2006 and immediately embarked on a punishing rehearsal / writing schedule. A series of shows across the south of England, though chiefly in London, followed, before a short tour of Brazil in March 2007. Since then, the band have been hard at work completing their debut recording, "Viver Sem Fronteiras?" which is now available on Tuneless Records. The record collates much of the original material written by the band and weaves this together with a series of audio samples and graphics culled from the aforementioned Brazilian tour.

At the time of writing, the band are promoting "Viver Sem Fronteiras" and preparing to regroup, once the inherent logistical difficulties have been addressed. Keep checking the MySpace page for further updates!

"SKOOKUM is a riff-rock PARTY! Hilarious anecdotes are regaled with engaging songs delivered by strong vocals, solid grooves, and a wall of sound that brings an audience to its feet!"

In the beginning there was a catastrophic boom … and, without the use of an epidural, SKOOKUM was born.

Out of the depths of a deep forested bush lumbered this monstrous behemoth of rawk! It had a thunderous bottom end and the animals gathered ‘round to hear its driving beats and infectious rhythms. This indescribable beast could only be known as SKOOKUM!

This was NO serious matter though, as the dreaded SKOOKUM would take to heavy fits of laughter, nocturnal musings and doses of a strange forest tea brewed from alder berries and rootmarm. Yet, you could always be sure that as it reared its big hairy head, you would be raising your fist to the air in an all out heavy rawkin’ salute. An awesome creature . . . SKOOKUM sounds like no other!

Oh yeah... and there’s these four guys who like to play infectious riff heavy rock. So, in the end… There's no denying it… they’re big and they rawk, they sound SKOOKUM!

Intelligent lyrics delivered with a powerful, hard edge are winning fans and turning industry heads for Ottawa hard rock band Order of the Day.

The band was formed in 2005, and includes singer Ian Shackleton, guitarist Tom Pambrun, Dan Tassé on bass and Andrew Lamarche on drums. Released in June 2006, Truth Be Told is the bands first offering. Not wasting any time, the first single off the EP, What Are You Waiting For?, and the follow-up, Pretty Things, have already been included in a Budweiser promotional campaign across the United States, and the disc is now available on iTunes.

Order of the Day members count Three Days Grace and Tool among their major influences. The band’s own music has been described as modern hard rock that holds true to melody. “From our very first writing session, there's been an energy and excitement that occurs when musicians really lock into each other,” says Shackleton. “It's an amazing thing to be a part of.”

Truth Be Told was recorded and co-produced by well-known Canadian producer Ken Friesen (The Tragically Hip, Hawksley Workman). With past individual experiences including spots on Lollapalooza and Vans Warped Tour, videos on MTV and MuchMusic, and album sales around the globe, the members of Order of the Day feel ready to rise to the occasion once again to surpass their past accomplishments. Their tight and loud live performances have already started gaining a loyal following in clubs at home and on the road.

“Our music is job one for us, out love and our life,” says Shackleton. “We believe we have a breakout opportunity with this new CD and we’re willing to do whatever it takes to make it a success.”

Tales from Abott

Tales From Abott combines melodic clean sounds with pounding metal guitars and punk aggression, creating a new progressive metal sound, in the style of classic bands such as Yes and Pink Floyd blended with modern metal bands like Tool and Mastodon.
Formed in March 2006 under the name Black Swan, Mike Fabro, Cesar, Henry and Erick Medina began playing and writing music. Each of the band members had been influenced by different styles of music, so it took a few months before truly original songs were created mixing influences from Metal, Funk, Punk, Classical and Jazz. What really brought the band together was the desire to stray away from the pack of predictable rock acts. “We wanted to be a refreshing change from others bands around right now and have our music and lyrics tell a significant story”. In June 2006, Black Swan had their first studio session,. producing an original demo “Insignificant” which can be found on the MySpace page. A few shows were played in support of the release locally in White Rock. However with management and production issues the band had an unfortunate hiatus during most of the summer. While the band took a break, writing new material became priority and in Late August Black Swan decided to give it another shot. With a fresh start and the songs sounding significantly different in quite a progressive style, a band name change was in need and hence the name Tales From Abott.
The enthusiasm of the new direction led to a burst of creativity in the new year. Tales From Abott has created four original songs which have been recorded on the demo C.D. The demo begins the story of “The Beast From Sunshine Hill”. It talks about getting possessed by an uncontrollable beast that takes over ones sanity. All attempts to unlock the curse fail, leaving the protagonist stranded and searching for answers. The writing is abstract allowing people to have their own interpretations of the message being portrayed. The demo is only the beginning and the second half, which completes the story and the first full release from Tales From Abott, is in progress is expected to be completed in early 2008
The Demo was recorded in Vancouver at QC studios with the help of Engineer Michael Maneschyn, and production help given by Chris Russell.

21 Gun was started in the summer of 2005 by Dan Alm and Adrian Serrato. Dan had already been playing guitar for a year and Adrian had just started playing. Soon after the creation of this band Dan had to move away for a few months.
It looked like the band wasn't going to work but then Adrian found Keith Cury, an old friend who had just started playing drums. They jammed together and realized they had a great chemistry.
Following this jam, they started practicing every weekend and making their own songs. They then decided to look for a bass guitarist to join the band. A school friend, Tyler Hovan, became part of the band. A few practices later, the three of them finished the bands first original song and played it at their school talent show and end of the school year celebration.
The band continued to make new songs in the summer of 2006. But shortly after, Adrian and Keith decided to take Tyler out of the band for their own reasons. Tyler is now part of the band "The Dead Legs".
Adrian and Keith continued to work together during the summer. Dan Alm, who Adrian and Keith had been keeping in touch with, moved back to Florida. Dan rejoined the band. With Adrian already on guitar, Dan started working on singing and writing lyrics.
The three worked together for most of the summer. The songs such as "First Seed", "Time Lost", and "Oblivion" were made. The band decided to start looking for bass player again. A mutual friend told them about Taylor Ward. Tay was contacted and invited to a practice. He turned out to be exactly what they were looking for. Around this time the band started calling itself "21 Gun".
The four of them worked together for most of the year. Near the end of 2006, in December, the band noticed that Adrian wasn't showing up to practice as much, and it seemed like he just wasn't interested in the band anymore. Sadly, the band decided to take Adrian out. They weren't happy about this since Adrian was one of the founders of the band.
Dan took over guitar and the band continued to work together. Dan, Tay, and Keith then made three new songs "Last But Not Least", "Promises", and "No More".
They started to do shows at parties and other small performances, but were constantly asked to find a singer. The band found Ryan Pence, who had been singing for a few years. He seemed to be working out in the band. But after the first official show with Ryan, they began to realize he wasn't really quite right for the band's style.
The band continued working hard for most of the beginning of 2007, and created a few more rough drafts of songs. As summer arrived, Dan asked a fellow musician at school, Andrew Renfroe, if he knew any good singers. Andrew advised Dan to contact Chase Merrill, a singer he used to play with. The band had a practice with him and were amazed at how great of a singer he is. His vocals brought a great sound to the band. After a few more practices, he really began to fit in with the band.
About the same time that Chase joined the band, Dan had to take a trip to California for all of June and half of July, and Tay got a job in North Carolina for all of June and July. So only Chase and Keith were left to work on the band. Keith started teaching Chase some of their songs, and Chase taught Keith some of his originals. Chase and Keith then wrote the first half of the song "Sleepless".
When Dan got back from California, the three got to work. About 2 1/2 weeks later, they finally organized their material for their 5 track EP. They then spent 3 straight days recording in Bentwood studios. Right after finishing the EP, they played their first show with Chase. That's where 21 Gun is today.

DASHA on ProjectOpus.com

________________________________________________________________

The girl next door meets the devil that everybody pretends they dont know. With writing that is "...dramatic, dynamic, emotive, and unpredictable" (Gian Fiero - The Muse's Muse ), Dasha showcases her own style of modern day piano-centric rock in a very unforgettable way.

Dasha, a classically trained pianist, grew up listening to an unlikely mix of Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Pantera, Metallica, Tool, Faith no More and Guns n Roses. She wrote her first song when she was 13, received a FACTOR grant soon thereafter and currently spends most of her time on stage and in the studio with bands and as a solo artist.

Dasha spent just over a year with a Vancouver hard-rock band called SoWhatNothing. Dasha was the core songwriter as well as singer and pianist in this original band. SoWhatNothing quickly received a lot of attention in a very short time. A few of their most notable accomplishments included receiving a full clothing sponsorship from MACHINE Clothing out of Toronto ON, playing 30+ live gigs in 9 months, touring to Toronto, receiving frequent radio play on Vancouver's rock giant 99.3 CFOX's Indie Night In Canada, playing twice Live On Air on CFOX (6 O'Clock Rock Report as well as on Indie Night In Canada), and playing live on local TV show Urban Rush.

After gaining a great deal of experience and creating a bunch of new fans, Dasha opted to go solo and pursue the music that suited her most; a little bit of rock, a little bit of aggression, a little bit of hook and a whole lot of passion.

RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS:


2005 - Dasha received a FACTOR Professional Demo Award for 3 new songs

2006 - Released Full-Length CD "It's Just A Number"

2006 - "Atheist" was added to indie104.com in Los Angeles

2006 - Received a feature interview on LOCALS 102.7

2006 - Dasha and her band secured a clothing endorsement with APARTMENT CLOTHING, an innovative company that retails at such notable chains as Holt Renfrew and Bloomingdales, as well as several other reputable shops throughout Canada, the US, and Japan.

2006 - "Downhill" receives airplay on 99.3 CFOX's Indie Night In Canada

ALBUM REVIEWS:

"Dasha's writing talent is immense and her potential for industry success is enormous...she is simply on another level. Both the music and publishing industries will strike gold when they get their hands on her catalogue. Congratulations on completing a project that is commercially strong, artistically developed, and musically sound." (Gian Fiero - The Muse's Muse - READ MORE!)

"What a perfectly-expressed declaration of emotions. Dasha Postnikova's collection of tunes are soaring, cascading realms of power balladry. Move over boys, here come the ladies. Postnikova's voice is rough yet still undeniably feminine, and in its stronger moments not unlike Alanis Morissette." (Andy Scheffler - CORDMAG.com - READ MORE!)

"Dasha's powerful, personal vocals and melodic piano style is supported by a solid band. Listening to her, we discover a full rock sound that grabs you with its power and then treats us to some interesting arrangements. Its classic, but not at all predictable." (Project Opus Team - ProjectOpus.com - READ MORE!)

"As unique as her name, Dasha's music is a brilliant compilation of grace, exquisite talent, intellect, rock and freedom. Compared to Tori Amos, Alanis Morrisette and Fiona Apple, Dasha Postnikova far exceeds the comparison in her own rights. Her strong classical training shines in a fabulous rhythm of rock, and heartfelt lyrics accomplished by life experiences." (L. Fine - Northeast In-Tune Magazine - READ MORE!)

"When the first few chords rung out...I knew Dasha was about to hit me with something special. Her songs are so well written, listening to them is a real treat. The overall musical composition is so engaging when she lets go. Wonderful piano, guitar, hard rock melodies and extremely powerful lyrics bring her basket of musical goodies right to the senses. " (Cats Ask Reviews - Featured Artists on Catsask Music & Entertainment - READ MORE!)

Out of the ashes of the renowned Las Vegas band, GOD AMONG MEN, comes a unique breed of rock band. Shortly after receiving two awards from LAS VEGAS WEEKLY and becoming a Jagermeister sponsored band, GAM found Los Angeles based management and signed a Demo Deal with John Kolodner of Columbia Records. Months of negotiations ensued but due to conflicting artistic visions the group decided not to ink the deal, and pursued other projects. Soon after, Liz began writing new material with former GOD AMONG MEN guitarist Blair, and they began the search for new band members.

::: ::: :::
After several months the two met Mackenzie, former drummer of the short-lived but powerful L.A. band DEVILLE. The band included former members of Roadrunner Records band DOWNER, and made quite an impact on the L.A. scene before parting ways. Mackenzie is also known in Los Angeles for his acting resume, guest starring in numerous high profile dramas such as NYPD Blue, The Practice, The Shield, CSI, Charmed, Freaks and Geeks, City of Angels and Chicago Hope to name a few, as well as various sitcoms including Malcolm in the Middle, Three Sisters, The King of Queens and Action, and multi episode stints on Days of Our Lives and General Hospital. He also recently held leads in two feature films, The Affair and Ancient Warriors, both online and in stores now.

::: ::: :::

The search for the perfect bassist lasted for months after the initial birth of the new band. The group eventually met Jesus, who miraculously appeared from Detroit. Jesus immediately fit the bill, and the band quickly finished writing an album's worth. The new membership proved solid and inspirational, pushing each member to new creative heights.
::: ::: :::
33DEGREE may have a vocalist and guitar player in common with G.A.M., but that is where the similarities end. Adding another level of complexity and a decided sense of style to their presentation, "33DEGREE possess a magnetic stage presence bursting with intensity. Between Liz's introspective lyrics, Blair's tasty and often chaotic sounds, Jesus' deep-rooted melodies and Mackenzie's powerfully convulsive tribal beats, they stylistically combine to defy common definition." Their debut material is not metal, not emo, but rather a mix of influences that range from Deftones to Tori Amos to Radiohead, blending odd time signatures, melodic vocals and driving grooves.
::: ::: :::
They are currently recording at NRG STUDIOS in HOLLYWOOD, CA
