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

Kuai Zi were formed out of necessity from the Beijing live music scene. Front man Skott Taylor and lead guitarist Mike/Noah met in 2003 while living in China and have since then been playing their unique style of Blues Rock Hip Hop across the world. Skott (Vancouver Island, Canada) and Mike/Noah (Shrewsbury, UK) first met and started playing acoustic sets at the only Open Mic in Beijing, which Skott founded and hosted. Soon after, they were playing their infectious original songs to a packed house of which most were singing along. Coming to the realization that their music had become bigger than the acoustic duo had planned, the pair set off to London UK to find the missing members and take their music to the next level.

Upon arriving in London Skott and Mike/Noah set off to establish themselves on the London Open Mic circuit, playing as much and as often as they could in hopes of meeting any potential new band mates. In time they met up with an old Beijing friend, Gilo “DJ DMT” Cheney (Hong Kong S.A.R.) who was more than up for throwing down some bass lines and filling out the sound. Through Gilo, Ric Nash (Edinburgh, Scotland) was introduced and the final piece to the Kuai Zi puzzle was found. Ric, who is a student at London’s S.O.A.S. University, also has ties to China having spent a year studying in China’s capital.

Drawing from a number of influences and musical methods ranging from Rock to Blues to Jazz to Hip Hop, Kuai Zi has a style that’s hard to nail down. They have been compared to the likes of Jack Johnson, Weezer, Beck and Dave Matthews Band with hints of Hip Hop lyricism, but definitely have a style of their own.

From their grassroots of extensive live performance; Kuai Zi has proven that they are more than able to hold down a set with their highly creative and energetic show, all the while keeping the crown on their feet.

It’s been a “Short And Sweet” 12 years since three barnyard hooligans known as the MCRACKINS were hatched onto the international punk scene with the release of their official debut full-length album “What Came First?” on Shredder Records in the U.S.A. Although many were at first skeptical of Vancouver, Canada’s mysterious and strange looking pop-punk trio, the 1995 album turned out to be a surprise hit from an unknown band who claimed to have been transformed from men to 2 eggs and a dog and given super pop-punk powers as the result of a freak nuclear accident. Since then, twin eggs Bil (guitar,vocals), Fil (bass) and dog Spot (drums) have continued to amaze, astound and win over music critics and fans alike while building a cult-like following around the world due to the prolific release of 11 great full-length albums,E.P’s, singles, and compilation cd’s too numerous to mention. All told over 100,000 in sales worldwide.

It is a well-known joke (or yolk if you will) that their discography reads like the rap sheet of a seasoned criminal, as they have had over 200 songs released by over 30 different record labels around the planet as approximately 70 separate releases. With sporadic touring throughout their native Canada and the U.S.A up until that point, 1996 saw the band take their hilarious and fun filled live show across the pond to Europe. Dubbed the “European Eggvasion”, the MCRACKINS destroyed 7 countries and even found time to record some live electric and acoustic sessions for the BBC. The years have also seen the band make a few music videos, which have received light to medium rotation on music channels in Canada, U.S.A and Europe, an appearance in a Molson Canadian beer television commercial, a cameo role in a feature motion picture “Downhill Willy”, and various television and radio features.

Although the band has been taking somewhat of a much-needed break from the recording studio over the last few years, they have decided to get “Back To The Crack” with a vengeance. In true MCRACKINS fashion, the band have been hard at work in the studio since October 2004 and have just finished what they have self described as a world class bubblepunk masterpiece of epic proportions. With over 14 months and countless hours invested in this opus, it promises to not disappoint. Their 12th cd which will be called “Bat Out Of Shell”, will be released worldwide later this year by the fine folks at Wynona Records, Italy and will contain 12 new ear buzzin toons with enough hooks and harmonies to make even Brian Wilson smile. A full European tour will follow in Jan/Feb 2007 in support. So “Get Crackin” the MCRACKINS are back!!!!!!!!!!
