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.

In the vein of such artists as The Boards of Canada, Front Line Assembly, Front 242, and Brian Eno, Cold Warning brings a fresh and original style of electronic,experimental-ambient music to the scene.

In a few words the music could be described as the beautification of isolation and abstraction

Combining organic instrumentation with original field recordings, synths and rhythms, Cold Warning, aka Trevor Brawn brings together his experiences and emotions growing up in the eclectic, artistically and culturally diverse Canadian city of Halifax Nova Scotia during the 80's where he was heavily influenced by the music of Gary Numan, Simple Minds, Peter Gabriel and an exhaustive list of others.

Cold Warning brings a style of composition and focus that undeniably links him to his early influences while setting him apart at the same time. Continuous experimentation and manipulation of sound has seen his music appear in television programs such as the History Channel's "Beyond the Da Vinci Code", A & E's Biography, VH1 and many others.

Tovio was born into an Athapascan Indian village in Alaska, raised partially in rural Kenya, in an 8 story commune in Chicago, at a new age retreat center in BFE Michigan, and in a poisonous factory town close to Flint, Michigan. He has dropped out of college numerous times and has traveled extensively around the world playing shows, performing in circuses and busking. He writes songs about the fallacy of the American Dream, sea life, dinosaurs and other important topics.
He is a resident artist at the Arcos Azules Gallery (http://www.arcosazules.org) in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver and is currently booking a european tour for February 2009. Accordion and tap shoes.

“The artist is the creator of beautiful things. Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty.”
- Wilde, Oscar.

Dorian’s Gray exists to reveal beauty, truth, and art. Their lyrics are often sexually liberating, at other times satirical, and often designed to expose religious hypocrisy. While their music is not designed for any grand socio-political purpose, the artists are not afraid to speak out for what they believe in. With passionate lyrics, gut-wrenching vocals, pulsing synths, devastating bass-lines, and blood-spattering beats, the beauty that is Dorian’s Gray is music for the elect, to whom beautiful things mean only beauty. Dorian’s Gray is a group of artistic individuals working together to create something beautiful through their musical talents. The result is a sound that is entirely their own, somewhere in the gray area between industrial rock, electro, EBM (Electronic Body Music), and trip hop.

"All art is at once surface and symbol"
- Wilde, Oscar.

Dorian’s Gray represents the shadow of Dorian Gray, a man whose soul is not reflected by his body, but by a portrait of his very soul. With the upcoming release of their double album, A Picture of Sin and The Sin Itself, Dorian’s Gray creates a picture of life’s shadows, sorrows, its trials and tribulations, with some hint of its pleasures, and beauty

"All art is quite useless."
- Wilde, Oscar (The Picture of Dorian Gray)

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

View Ballerina Black's EPK

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.

Parade Rest began in 2007 under the name Between The Lines, with Tyler Stutz and Vito Schiralli on guitars and original drummer and bassist, Nick and The Adam respectively. Over the course of the next 11 months, Tyler and Vito searched for serious musicians to complete their band, as their constant rotating bandmates were not so dedicated. After four drummers and two bassists were disposed of over time, they eventually found Marshall Brennan and Evan Woolley for the parts, talented and dedicated, they were the holy grail in this quest for musicians.

Elliot Ledger is a solo artist from Berkhamsted, near London. In the studio he plays guitars, vocals & drums, with Martin Iacoponi on bass guitar. While live 'Elliot Ledger' plays as a three-piece band, with live drummer Felix Archer.

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.

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.

King Tut is a folkpsychtechrock duo based out of Asheville, North Carolina. Mark Boyd (Guitar), formed the band in the summer of 2006 with a different line-up, though Drew Veres (Drums) joined shortly afterward.

After writing a year’s worth of material on Mac laptops using Garageband and Reason, King Tut released their first album “Chopping Wood & Carrying Water” on a upstart label from Boston, Amaro Dolce.

When they play live, Mark uses a looping pedal, building whole songs from scratch on the fly, backed by Drew’s classically trained, powerful jazz drumming. King Tut has consistently been defined as new, fresh, original, uplifting, and exciting.

Alternative Press magazine mysteriously got their hands on a copy of their CD and gave it a 3/5 stars. They recently opened for The Liars on their Radiohead tour. And just a little while ago, they made it into the semi-finals of the BBC’s “Next Big Thing” contest, where they were 1 of 20 bands selected from 2000 entrants from 80 different countries. King Tut currently has plans for 3 new albums (one folk, one electronica, one live) to be released concurrently.

Well I started writing songs when I broke my arm in grade 6 and have not stopped since. I have performed when I was in school and have written many songs.

I'm a drummer/guitar player turned music producer. As a means to perform my tracks with artists when a band is not possible I became a DJ. With the added turntablism I've been able to come up with what i think is some very interesting stuff.

I've been a musician for over 15 years in the form of a drummer. Self-taught with a desire to create more than percussive music on my own, I've been slowly learning how to read and write. Most of what I've created is by ear...not an easy thing to do, trust me there. Thank God for the Finale '08 music writing program. It's taught me a lot.

I'm an English teacher for a high school in Jersey City, NJ and an assistant music director--drumline coordinator. Yet, I still manage to have free-time and would love to find musicians interested in making my creations a reality. One goal is to perform and record the music. The sheet music is available for each instrument, although some corrections in Key and Chord may be needed. So, if you are interested and somewhat local, check out the music and get in touch. Or, just let me know what you think. All songs are copyrighted so be kind, be cool, and rock on!

My influences are from a wide range of genres; however, my main stay is Rock and Roll/Metal. Nothing like a good shot of double bass drums... Enjoy!

An autonomous collective of unsurpassed musical genius, Groovy Julia has appeared in many incarnations over the years. From acoustic buskers to formless jazz combo to horn-driven R’n’B outfit to roots rock ruffians, Groovy Julia has played to thousands, even entertaining some. Although some have said that Groovy Julia is the kind of band that gives rock a bad name, it’s an extreme characterization that isn’t entirely true. Best known for their hits… well… best known for their legendary… umm… best known for generally arriving at gigs on time, Groovy Julia continues to carry on in the tradition of The Who, in that they don’t know when it’s time to give up. Building momentum on sales numbering in the tens of their seminal opus, “Cry Like a Man,” the GJs play live sporadically, record occasionally and always rock with the best of intentions.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAID

“Groovy Julia – A band best served cold.”
- Rolling Stone

“The sound of jackhammers smashing up the sidewalk outside my apartment was more pleasant.”
- Lloyd Bridges (Scuba World)

“Turn the volume down – way down - and wait for the enhanced DVD retrospective of these pretty boy gadflies.”
- “Q”

“We want them for the next swimsuit issue.”
- Sports Illustrated

“They’re nothing but a disagreeable mélange of syrupy treacle and discordant din. But with a doily here, some potpourri there and a few scented candles, they’d be a welcome addition at your next festive occasion. And that’s a good thing.”
- Martha Stewart

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.
