CHIWAWA's music can be labeled as alternative/pop/rock. The musicians' wide musical background however, constantly drives Chiwawa into prolific, rich and seductive territories. The heavy grooves and luscious melodies, topped by Laurie’s unforgettable, five octave range voice, define Chiwawa’s unmistakable sound.
The band is getting rave reviews and their growing fanbase is selling out shows.
On stage, Chiwawa electrifies as a duo as well as a full 4-5 piece band.

It all started a couple years ago. It was a bit strange to start getting airplay before I'd ever performed in front of an audience. Sure it was a little weird hearing my songs on the radio while I was still in the studio recording my EP. Yeah, it was quite surprising to know that the songs I was recording just for the sake of having a record of my own music were out there reaching others.

Still... we appreciate what falls in our lap.

Since that crazy year we've played all sorts of great shows.

As of today, the second CD is half finished and features no less than 4 drummers.

Somehow I ended up playing bass on Sweet Misery... something to do with a last minute change and a 5 string.

We've gone through a few drummers, but we think Doug will stick around!

He's also a paramedic. I met Doug for the first time AFTER I had already recorded "Sweet Misery".

So what? Oh... Sweet Misery features a line about a paramedic rushing to the - nevermind... wait for the track to be released.

We like Ibanez.

Our first drummer is now a guitar player and sings in a punkish band. It's not as bad as when you find out your ex came out of the closet after they dumped you though.

Jonathan plays bass. He's like a musician magnet. I think he gets propositioned by bands at every show we play. Most times they actually want him to play bass.

We found our drummer on Craigs List of all things. I can't remember how much we got paid by his last band.

Mickael is the singer guy and guitar player. Someone recently told him he rocks it old school. He hasn't quite recovered from that yet.

Jonathan likes film, video game music, and Sleeps with Matches.

Doug likes Jägermeister, his new tattoos and Tool.

Mike likes science, family, and a little ecclecticism.

Sure there's more, but you'll have to give Jonathan a hug at the next show... he'll tell you more at that time.

Ballerina Black is a band that has quickly made a name for themselves on the L.A. scene since they formed in late 2007. A blend of 80s mope rock and early Factory Records ambience sans the elitism, the Los Angeles trio consists of singer/songwriter Bobby Moynahan, bassist Esli Sugich and drummer Jeff Kite. Although Moynahan is the primary songwriter, the band’s sound is very much a product of each individual band members’ eclectic musical tastes. The result is pop music with a grunge-era aesthetic. Driven by their raucous and inspired live performances, they have been embraced by the ever-evolving and often fickle patronage of the L.A. music scene, spawning new fans by the droves at every stop.

MELODIC ENERGY COMMISSION was formed many centuries ago to investigate and experiment with the energy caused by melodies, portrayed through sound patterns often classified as music.
Their original sound patterns were inscribed into clay cylinders and later, vinyl platters then distributed throughout the galaxies. Eventually, the investigations expanded to rhythmic and atonal pattern interpretation. So, more recordings have been created during these investigations and began appearing around planet earth.
On their recent plastic discs the Commissioners have placed advanced communications, disguised as songs and elaborate soundscapes.

Wade Mosher has made music his life since he was only 12 years old. He is known for his songwriting & guitar skills and he’s also a respected producer, singer & programmer. Starting in the early ‘80’s, Wade has toured Canada, the US & Europe playing in Rock, Country, Blues, Skiffle and Punk bands.

In 1995, Wade Mosher released his debut, self-titled CD that received airplay in Canada, Turkey & Arkansas. Promoting the album & touring followed until 1997. Sales have reached over 3500 thus far, mostly from word of mouth. This record has been likened to John Hiatt, Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, Warren Zevon and Lyle Lovett.

Wade’s fans have been asking for recordings of his guitar playing for years, so in 2001 recording began for his next CD ‘Doesn’t Play Well With Others’. The instrumental record of 12 cuts was released in 2002. The record has gotten some great reviews & feedback. It’s been available online since 2006 and is selling well. Though Wade’s style is undeniable, nods to Danny Gatton, Brian Setzer, Mark Knopfler, Chopin, Brian May, Dick Dale & Scotty Moore can be heard throughout. As Wade humbly puts it, “I just take what those guys did, simplify the difficult parts & hope nobody notices.”

In 2003 Wade disappeared into his studio to work on his latest album. A lot of life got in the way during the making of this much anticipated CD, but in 2007 ‘Everything Will Be Just Fine’ was released. It’s more of a collection of songs than a definitive album, moving seamlessly through genres without losing momentum. Songs like ‘Canadian Folk Song’ and ‘Hollywood is Burning’ are cutthroat takes on culture & politics with sardonic humor. Great stabs at love, religion and psychosis are found in ‘Love Makes You Stupid’ & ‘Lose This Skin’. ‘She’s Got A Heart’ & ‘Don’t Let The Highway Get You Lost’ are first class country songs that will take you back to the days of Merle Haggard & Steve Earle. This is a CD that will leave its mark.

Wade Mosher has never been convicted of murder, but the night is still young.

END OF SET 3

Just A Personal Note

Hi Folks- Wade here. Thanks for stopping by and having a listen. I appreciate your time, I know how limited it can be. There are a lot of songs here, so feel free to poke around & play snippets as you please. I’ve requested that they allow the prices of the songs to come down a bit here. We’ll see what happens. In the meantime I’ll be allowing free downloads randomly so keep an eye out. Some of the genres I’ve chosen can obviously cross over into others & it’s hard to categorize your own material, but I believe I’ve gotten close with my choices. If you hear something that turns your crank, feel free to contact me. I’m very friendly, (except early in the morning.) I’ll be keeping this section as up to date as I can. Thanks again.
Take care,
Wade

I'm not sure exactly where all this started. Heartbreak + Revolver + Kurt Heasley, maybe? In Philadelphia, William Walton sold me my first 4-track & helped flesh out some ideas. In Chicago, Dave Healy was my pop accomplice behind the drum kit. Oh, and I played Agnew's digital piano a lot @ 1613 (especially using the harpsichord setting).

SOL 3, former heavyweights of Edmonton’s independent music scene have relocated to Vancouver and are poised to conquer Vancouver and beyond with their brand of well crafted, hook driven, guitar rock. Influenced by the great bands from every era in Rock n’ Roll history including the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Pixies, and U2, SOL 3 have evolved to create their own distinct and unique sound that pays tribute to all of the great Rockers of the past while maintaining a fresh and relevant sound for the modern age.
SOL 3 was first formed by song writing masterminds Blair Bellerose (guitars) and Lou Foley (vocals) in 1997. The two of them have in fact been writing together since 1991 and have developed an intuitive creative bond not heard since the early days of Jagger/Richards and Page/Plant. In 2004, SOL 3 recruited heavy hitter and long-time Vancouver musician Rick “Grizzly” Adams to play drums adding a new dimension of power to the band. Then in 2005, SOL 3 added ex Sarah McLachlan bassist and fellow Edmontonian Jeff Sawatzky on bass guitar.
SOL 3’s past accomplishments are many and include award nominations, radio exposure, and televised live performances. Their song Particles & Waves currently resides at number 8 on the New Music Canada charts and their song Manchu Picchu Cool is currently featured on the nationally distributed TEA volume 6 compilation CD.
SOL 3’s monster album, Ultrafade, is available now.

Hello! I'm Jake Waidelich... I've been writing and recording songs since 1990. Prefering to usually create songs with acoustic guitar and then layering with electric and bass, sometimes keyboards and other psychedelic embellishments. In the mid 90's I actually stopped playing with myself for awhile and was co-songwriter, guitarist, and backing vocalist for the band SOOT GENRE which played many parties and a coffee shop in Old Town Lansing MI. After our main vocalist left to travel on the Art Train then we tried to keep it together as 80 Cubic Inches for a year or so. This didn't develop into much and we never refound the magic that once was. I still remember the dreams that we once shared and 'what could have been'... you can visit my myspace... http://www.myspace.com/jakewaidelich

From performing across the United States to hitting the television scene via BCAT and many others, The lead singer for the hottest Haitian/American band "So Fresh". LeGacy Born in Manhattan and raised in Far Rockaway, New York. LeGacy is a young energetic R&B singer with a strong Soulful Voice who has been singing since the age of 12. LeGacy first discovered he was blessed with the ability to sing when Boys II Men's "Water Runs Dry" first aired on the radio. "I loved that song when I was little, one of my cousins heard me singing it and told me to take my singing more seriously because I had a gift". Not only does LeGacy have a gift to sing but he also has the gift to write. Every song that has been recorded by LeGacy has also been written by this young future R&B sensation. LeGacy began writing music at the age of 16. But didn't record his sound until June of 2004, where he recorded his first hit, "Amazing". His drive and ability to perfect his craft has allowed him to grow as a marketable figure within the record industry. Through various performance across the United States, LeGacy has shown he can do more then just move a crowd. His performances along with his music has landed him on several radio shows such as; The "Big King Boss and Sir Press" radio show, and Long Islands longest running classic show WGBB 1240am which is hosted by the legendary "Stan the Man". We asked why the name LeGacy, his response was that "only legends make great music. So their Legacy is continuing on through 'LeGacy'". The Capital "G" in the word Legacy is a reminder of his up-bringing in the Church. Get ready for this future superstar because "LeGacy is something Legendary in the Making".

I play and record everything myself. I am hoping to find some other musicians who would like to join me in creating a new and unique sound. I listen to a lot of metal and punk, and also like a lot of psychedelic stuff. I see music as a painting of feelings, not just another song, so I am always trying to paint a picture of what I am hearing in my head when I pick up my guitar. The music I play isn't commercial friendly, I play for myself and hope other people like too.

I have been playing stringed instruments since I was 5, studied classical cello for 12 years, picked up my first guitar when I was 10. For most of my teen years I was sure I was destined to be a metal guitar god like many of us do at that age, but as life, reality, and fate conspired, my priorities changed direction. I have been fortunate enough to have a successful career outside of music that has consumed most of my time and energy for the last 20 years, but in the last few years have dusted off the old chops to fuel my need for some additional form of creative expression.

Now much older and hopefully somewhat wiser, I write and record a variety of styles of instrumental guitar based music ranging from soft jazz to heavy rock, and am grateful for the advances in technology that allow a solo musician to write and share his own music from a small home studio with the rest of the world.

If you like my music, please download and share with your friends. I play for myself mainly and am happy to have anyone listen at all. Please visit my website for a full selection of all of my current demo recordings and links to other web pages and projects of mine.

The Bushpilots were formed in Spring 2002 in Ottawa, influenced by all things rootsy, bluesy and country ... the plan was initially to be more of a country rock band, but Gibson Les Pauls and feedback have a way of changing that.
By September 2003, after a bit of tweaking of personnel, Kevin Smith joined original members Jeff Monette, Tom Gillon and Rob Bennett to complete the lineup.
The once aspiring country rock band has evolved into a barnstorming take-no-prisoners live rawk juggernaut that often teeters on the brink of chaos without completely falling apart.
The model for this chaos is Neil Young and Crazy Horse, with some Dylan, Springsteen, Steve Earle and Georgia Satellites influences thrown in for good measure.
The band's debut, Sonic Scenery, was proudly recorded in 16 track analog by Kathleen Edwards/Howe Gelb producer Dave Draves at Little Bullhorn Studios in Ottawa and mastered by George Graves at The Lacquer Channel in Toronto. It was released to critical and popular acclaim in May, 2005.
In addition to Draves on keyboards, the album also features guest appearances by Good2Go's Maureen Hogan on vocals, and pedal steel player extraordinaire (some of the country still remains!) Pat Robillard.
Sonic Scenery has been embraced by college radio in central Canada and has become a staple on Carleton University's 93.1 CKCU-FM.
2006 plans for more incendiary live performances and the recording of the follow up album, again with Dave Draves, for release by November.

Israel's voice has been described as "Chris Cornell meets Bono in a hellish evil nightmare." by Jeff Henning of RollingStone.
"An evil incarnation of bombastic violence starving for serenity..." says Henry Rollins.
Israel sings about pain, torment and injustice....love, guts and glory.
"It's all there in the "NEW" sound of 2008" says Paul Goebel of Metal Force magazine.

Sugarblade was started in July 2004 when Miguel Staunton and Alec Brietzke first sat down together to jam out some songs. Both musicians had just come from broken bands and had been looking forward to doing an acoustic project to take a bit of a break. Realizing that the songs had real potential the duo decided to try the full-band approach once again. Recently coming out of a band herself, (Maverick recording artist, "Lillix"), Kim Urhahn seemed an ideal addition on drums. Soon after, Greg M., an old friend of Alec's, joined the trio on bass, thus completing the band. It became obvious after only a few live shows that Sugarblade had something special. The band gained a loyal following instantly and has been playing relentlessly to rave reviews and an ever-growing fanbase. The band released a 7-song EP entitled "Faux" in July of 2006, which has been selling steadily and exposing them to more and more fans. Several independent and college radio stations have recently added Sugarblade to their regular rotation and the band is poised to take their music to the highest level possible.
Sugarblade considers themselves a rock band with a hint of power-pop. The chemistry of this foursome lies in the fact that each member comes from a different musical background in terms of influences and styles. Take an instantly-recognizable vocalist with a style that is a blend of Morrisey, Muse, and Peter Gabriel. Add a guitarist heavily immersed in the glamrock and metal of the 80's, with a incredible knack for melody. Now add a rhythm section consisting of a rock-solid drummer with an ear for detail, and a metal bassist with a love for all music dark and angry. Combine those elements with great songwriting, a love for what they do and a sound all their own and you have Sugarblade.

Hey Y'all, just a little about me and what I do.Born in Londonderry Northern ireland Relocated these days to Minnesota USA,I started my musical adventure so long ago it's darn near the year 1 LOL. Got my first guitar at the tender age of 14 almost drove my family insane till I learned to play it.But heck my Mom bought it to me so she only had herself to blame. Well practised hard almost every spare minute usually confined to the bathroom ( acoustics were better LOL) though it caused a few problems when someone had to go cause oft times I was singing and strumming so loud I didnt hear the agonising cries outside the door.I sounded a bit like the proverbial banshee wailing back then in fact me & the cat sang harmonies. By 19 I was out there doing my Thang on the pub and club circuit earning a crust or two and picking up all the playing tips I could from my peers this stood me in good stead for future years where I toured extensively all around Europe in Country & Country Rock bands life was good tiring but good, then I got married HECK that put an end to the touring LOL but not the playing I concentrated on doing more gigging around Ireland then. Started songwriting in my late 20's but most never saw the light of day as the bread & butter was earned doing the Covers of the day folks just didnt wanna hear the inate ramblings of the singer/songwriter. That was the trend till I kinda quit for a while in my late thirties but still kept writing just for my own pleasure. Then came the age of technology and the INTERNET That got me kinda interested in playing again so I dug out the guitar and for the first time ever people actually clapped when I sang an original song . It felt good so I kept on going LOL. Through the internet I met & teamed up with Dixie Vornbrock a songwriter from Minnesota , we kinda hit it off almost instantly and started producing some darn good songs ( If I say so myself ) We met for the first time face to face in the summer of 2004 and married in Feb 2008 and still produce sweet music together and will for the forseeable future . Some of those songs are featured here so go ahead and listen thats why we write them. Hope you enjoy our musings
