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

Born in the tiny town of Hiram, Maine and graduated in 2006 with a degree in Music Technology from McGill University in Montreal, Ben Hammond has since been touring extensively (from his home in rural New England all the way to New Zealand) and playing his unique brand of Acoustic Soul-Pop at a variety of festivals (Montreal Jazz Festival, Portland Old Port Fest) and hundreds of venues (Montreal's Sala Rossa and Metropolis, Town Hall in NYC).

In March 2008 Ben completed his full length studio album "[Reasonably] Honest" with a full band and Downbeat Magazine award winning mixer Reuben Ghose, which has garnered him radio interviews and airplay across the Eastern United States and Canada. On June 10th, 2008 Ben played to a sold out crowd (200+ people, 17$ tickets, no opener) for his official hometown album launch at the breathtaking Stone Mountain Arts Center in Maine, which has featured such greats as Bela Fleck and the Indigo Girls. In just over one year since it's release, "[Reasonably] Honest" has sold over 1,300 copies and continues to sell while Ben prepares for the next album.

Schooled in jazz, raised on rock, immersed in soul, and fascinated with music the world over, Ben can just as easily be found strumming and singing a ballad as he can live looping an a cappella improvisation of throat singing, beatboxing, and harmonized scatting. When performing his composed material, either as a soloist or with his quartet, the music features Ben's engaging, soulful vocals weaved within a framework of genre-shifting instrumentation, providing a platform for his subtle, contemplative lyrics.

Breck Stewart is an actor and singer who also worked behind the scenes as cameraman, editor, director and producer on many projects over 2 decades. He started his showbiz career on the stage at age 7 and learned his craft until the age of 18 also studying classical piano, trumpet and guitar all the while. He then became a rather successful model for a few years in his early twenties. At some point he decided to quit modeling and started to look for acting opportunities, working consistently through the years with varying degrees of success.

He started his foray into music in 2004 by creating a duo, Frenzia which broke up in 2006 when the other member left the formation. He tried to find another partner but it didn't happen so he became a solo singer instead. He released his first album called Utopia in December 2007 with many singles and videos now available. Utopia is an album based on the concept of this virtual reality we all call the Internet. Although a wonderful tool in so many ways, it has the tendency to create unrealistic expectations about life by flashing in front of us this opulent, synthetic and surreal existence which is only a big illusion composed of pixels and compressed energy. The songs are all related to the subject of fabricated fantasies created by the web.

He also shot several episodes of a new celebrity gossip show called MoonDaze TV where he talks about several cultural icons in a relaxed manner. And he is very active in the fight against DRM technology which can rob customers of their rights of fair use. Digital Rights Management is a process integrated in several digital files, Operating system Vista and Blu-Ray Discs created specifically to control what consumers do with their products. The song Be Integrated and the accompanying video were constructed to promote the fight against that destructive technology which already affects so many of us. Don't let them take away your digital freedom. Say No to DRM.

His managing team includes Gabe Wellington and Calvin Washington at MoonDaze Productions based in San Francisco, California in the United States.

Biography
From Grandpa I got my storytelling. His visits were rare, as he and grandma lived in St. Catherines Ontario, and we lived just outside Calgary, Alberta. They spoiled all 8 of us children (according to my dad) but the biggest gift Grandpa always gave us was to tell us bedtime stories of the “olden days”.

Grandpa’s stories usually involved exciting stuff like runaway teams of horses, shooting at wolves, or somebody getting body parts torn off. His tales were filled with gestures and sound effects. He really had a way of bringing them to life. And he listened when a kid told him a story. He made you feel your stories were important.

From Mom and Dad I got music. My Dad and my other Grandpa were both musicians. Grandpa Hubele (of whom I knew very little) was a very good organ player. My dad played fiddle in his early years, touring around southern Alberta with a country dance band. He and Mom would, very occasionally, play duets on fiddle and piano when we were little kids.

I can remember waiting til my parents went out. Since I was the oldest, I often babysat my brothers and sisters. I would sneak into Dad’s fiddle case to take out the fiddle and play it. Except I was always trying to make it sound like a guitar, and I played it like one.

We moved back and forth across the country, from Ontario to Alberta and back many times as I grew up. Dad kept trading up for jobs, and I was in a new school almost every year. I became a loner and a rebel. I turned to humor to make up for my small size. I’d find the biggest kid in class, figure out how to make him laugh, and I didn’t have to worry about the rest of the bullies. It pays to have friends in high places.

I believe I had an undiagnosed hearing problem caused by a trauma (now confirmed as a severe hearing loss). I never could quite understand the lyrics on the radio which was always on in our house, so I made up my own.

My earliest memories were of crossing the big empty fields which made up the neighborhoods of my youth, singing at the top of my lungs and making up words as I went along. My mom says she could pick me out of the flocks of kids coming home from school. I’d be waving my arms and singing to myself as I walked across the prairie.

I started writing songs in a serious way when I was 21 years old. A friend, who had been showing me how to play guitar, and I went out to live on the beach on Vancouver Island at Pacific Rim Park. I was picking away when a simple line kept repeating itself in my head. I wrote it down, and in ten minutes I had a song. It seemed to open flood gates, and for the next 2 or 3 years I wrote a song or two a week. I average about a song a month now. But, they are better songs.

Biography, page 2

To write successfully, I usually have to be alone, have all my chores done and time on my hands. Words and melody most often develop at the same time. It takes from 10 minutes to 1 hour to write a song. It takes me two weeks to learn it. I like to wrap a song around a good story line. They always come from my own experiences.

I was fascinated with the blues from the get-go. I came in through the back door. J.J. Cale, then Hot Tuna. Then B.B. King, Freddy King, and Muddy Waters.

When I heard Bonnie Raitt play slide guitar, I was gone. I had to learn how to do that. I followed her trail back to Mississippi Fred McDowell. “You want rock, you gonna have to put me in a rockin’ chair. I plays the straight and natural blues.”

I also paid attention to the songwriters, my favorites being Paul Simon, Harry Nillson, Willie Dixon, and Tom Waits.

My interest in jazz developed through my association with other musicians like Calgary’s late Chuck Tracy, a gruff, funny, kind of crazy lounge musician. He introduced me to Tom Waits, Mose Allison, and Fats Waller amongst others.

As well, it became a habit to listen to the great Alberta radio station CKUA on Saturdays. Bill Coull’s Jazz Show was a fifteen year course in ‘Everything You Should Know About Jazz’.

I also have a life-long addiction to comedy movies and comic books. One of my Dad’s jobs was as a projectionist in a small town. Once a week on Saturday night the local community hall was turned into a theatre. I was very young (3 years til 7 years old) but those old black and white 16mm movies of the Marx Bros, Chaplin, and W.C. Fields remain deep in my psyche.

I think this was a great influence on my writing. Most of my songs have a little humor and a strange twist to them.

I have worked as a laborer and heavy equipment operator and truck driver since leaving the University of Calgary after 4 years of unrelated courses and wandering interests. Previous to that, I had worked at the CPR as a ticket clerk. I began working at age 14 at the steel mill where my father worked. I did not graduate from high school.

I have written songs for 32 years. Recording began for me in 1978 with the Acme Sausage Company with Holger Petersen broadcast on CKUA. Since then, I have been on countless radio and tv programs. I have recorded 6 albums of original material, and I just finished recording my demo for the 7th, and most exciting, CD - ‘Down In Davis Bay’.

Black Elysium are an 80's style 'kick you in the teeth' thrash metal / heavy metal band located in Toronto ON., originaly formed in Nova Scotia by rythym guitarist / lead vocalist Allen Byng and lead / rythym guitarist Justin Conway. After their 2001 demo release of "Drinking Adrenaline" the music scene in Nova Scotia started to turn for the worst. Local clubs were closing their doors to either metal bands or eviction notices. Rather than let the band die with the music scene Allen and Justin decided they had to do something and they had to do it quick. They packed their bags and headed for a bigger city...Toronto, Ontario where they were cursed by line up changes after line up changes due to a lack of commitment. After endless musician classified ads, Allen and Justin's prayers were answered by Newfoundlander Monty Parsons. With more than talent and commitment to offer to the band, Black Elysium's lungs were starting to once again fill with metal and re-birth. Black Elysium are now currently seeking a dedicated bassist and the final member of the band to begin their masquerade to rule the world with an iron fist and clog the ever so needing arteries of the metal society.

"Fule for life, to rule the night,
Off of you we'll feed again,
It's metal's brew, from us to you,
Together we'll be drinking adrenaline"

-Black Elysium

Spygirl plays lush, melodic, elegant, and dark pop/rock. If Spygirl were a martini, they’d be equal parts sonic assault, naked duets and lush harmonies with a dash of drum & bass, and garnished with a twist of Canadiana - shaken vigorously, of course. If Spygirl were an outfit, you’d look geek-slick, full in all the right places and your ass would look hot.

Spygirl recently completed their second full-length album, pieces of evidence, released March 2008.

Spygirl was overjoyed to work once again with favourite musical wizard Tom Rothrock, who mixed a few songs on their 2000 self-titled debut. This time he came on board as Producer in full. Mr. Rothrock (who has also created records with some of popular music’s great recent innovators such as Beck, Elliott Smith, Elbow, Sloan, Badly Drawn Boy and James Blunt) helped the band create a spontaneous, relaxed and raw recording, due in part to his laid back mix of confidence, spontaneity, knowledge and love of music, and in part to recording much of the album live off the floor. The result is a group of songs that belong together, sharing a landscape that is lush, melodic, elegant and dark.

This is the band’s 12th year. The Vancouver-based 6 piece group was born out of a musical bond between founders Koralee Tonack (lead vocals, guitar) and Jane Gowan (trumpet, keyboards). The two initially formed Time Waits - the acoustically charming mother of today’s luscious pop child. The group included Jon Roper (guitar), performing mostly original songs written by Gowan. Several recordings were released on cassette. Now those are hidden away in boxes...somewhere. Eventually James Ong (keyboards) and Eduardo Ottoni (drums) joined, and with a fuller sound developing, the band released their debut CD entitled This Thin Disguise.

A collective desire to streamline the sound resulted in a less acoustic, more pop/rock sound. The viola da gamba and accordion, previously played by Ong and Gowan respectively, were abandoned in favour of keyboards, fender rhodes and trumpet. By this time other band members had begun contributing to the songwriting, creating excitement and freshness. As the direction of the music changed, so did the name, and the band’s self-titled debut (informally known as The Yellow Album) was recorded just as the transformation to Spygirl took place. The disc was nominated for a West Coast Music Award and also gained much positive media attention.

In 2005 Al MacInnes (bass) joined the band to add substance to the style. Now with a full line-up to carry the tunes, Spygirl released a 5-song EP as a precursor to the full-length album in August, 2005. The songs on this disc are homages to the band’s constant quest for the perfect pop epic. All the tracks from this disc were re-recorded on pieces of evidence.

Spygirl has toured in Canada and the UK, and plans to be out on the road again in summer 2009 to support the new album.

"When I was a kid I remember my mother saying it's OK to be a non-conformist. I thought that was somewhere between a capitalist and a communist..."

ARCTIC - the band and/or solo project of Marcus Martin - is all about duality. His childhood in Yellowknife, a small gold mining town in the Arctic region of Canada's Northwest Territories, was a stark contrast to his experiences in a private UK boarding school. He grew up in the land of lakes, trees, rocks and ice with true wilderness spirit and is equally at home sharing his ARCTIC adventures in any big city, where there are more people on one street than in his whole hometown.

Coming from the Tom Morello school of guitar texture, he has learned to challenge the listener by layering unique sounds usually found only in the electric guitar world. As a loop-based acoustic artist he tours with an 80 lb. effects pedalboard - not traveling light compared to most acoustic singer-songwriters.

His live set is where this duality takes flight, as he constructs each song before the audience, piece by piece. Influenced by both 70's progressive rock and conventional songwriters of the day, ARCTIC bridges a world of opposites together. He layers haunting melodies on top of his arrangements, improvising like a jazz artist, intertwining vocals and guitar into a chilled and airy soundscape.

"I think it's hard not to be an environmentalist, growing up on the land."

His environmental message is not watered down and mixed into his music: they are separate entities. His music is an introduction; it is the common ground between him and the listener. As many will attest, he does his best to meet everyone after his show to say hi. You never know where the conversation will go, but people always want to know more about the ARCTIC - both the region and the band.

Marcus is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

•  Compliment

I keep myself busy and keep myself out of trouble by writing new songs. I am connected to my family, friends and fans and my Black And White Album and tracks are my life experiences. I live and breathe music and its in my blood and Rap - HipHop is the fire that fuels it.

My music has brought me many places around the world and I am going to take it further by completing my next album. Skies the limit when you put dedication and perseverance together. Just wait and see I will take us to even more places - nothing will stop me.

When I am done we are going everywhere twice or three times around the world.

Music will save the world if we learn to respect Music.

Born in Guyana, South America, Thane grew up in Calgary listening to his parents' diverse album collection spanning the calypso, soca, reggae, disco, classical, pop/ballad, and folk genres. After moving to Toronto in 2002, the imprint of this musical milieu can still be found within Thane's songwriting. Likened to soul sensations such as Maxwell and Andrew Roachford, Thane's singing style has been described as emotive pop music with rich, earthy, and soulful vocals inspired by such artists as Seal, Boyz II Men, Tracey Chapman, Lionel Richie, and Alana Davis.

Thane has spent the last several months in the studio recording original material in preparation for his newly released debut album, Palace of Love. He has had the privilege of working with a host of accomplished musicians including Steven Roe (lead guitar player for The BitterSweet), Colin Robinson (drummer for FeFe Dobson), Nick Czarnogorski (bass player for Kazzer), and Jake Payne (pianist for Colin Amey). Fatlabs producer, Vikas Kohli, describes Thane's work as "…rooted in a strong foundation of what makes a great pop song - one can hear the soul in his voice and the honesty in his lyrics."

Thane gained voice training experience through several years of choral performance and, in 1996, won an Alberta Black Achievement Award for Amateur Performing Arts after being nominated by his influential music teacher. Thane continues to study music through private training, actively participates in songwriting workshops, and is a member of The Songwriter's Association of Canada (SAC) and SOCAN.

No stranger to performing, Thane has sung for diverse audiences ranging from intimate venues to festivals of over 1000 people and at venues including The Drake Hotel, The Smiling Buddha, Zemra Lounge, Kokkino, the International Centre, El Mocambo and Montreal’s Jupiter Room.

Thane was featured in an artist spotlight interview on Nat Radio's The Frequency Show and his single, Anybody Seen My Angel, has been included on The Best of DropHit 2006 Compilation CD. Thane was a featured artist on Arya TV's "The Kaave Show" broadcast to millions of viewers worldwide via satellite TV and received a 2007 Toronto Exclusive Magazine Award for Best Male R&B Vocalist and Best Website categories.

Thane's music has shown early signs of success on the airwaves. His single Roller Coaster Love has earned him the title of "Hot Artist to Look Out For" on Indie Mix Radio AM 1580 broadcast from Los Angeles, California and he was recently interviewed on Toronto’s CHRY 105.5FM.

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.

Learn it by Heart is a fresh new sound developed by spunky singer/songwriter Cara Cortese. Being the sole member of the band Cara has spent countless hours working towards perfecting her talent. Though the band is still in its beginning stages, with the help of ACOSM Records the production of Learn it by Heart’s debut CD is underway.

Cara spent her childhood moving around with her family, living in England, Singapore and of course her home country Canada. Since her parents now live in Australia, Cara lives in the beautiful city of Toronto with her twin sister.

While growing up, Cara was always a musician. As a child she was always the first to begin singing along with the radio, and certainly made sure she could be heard over her two sisters. When she finally got bored of not having all the attention on long car rides, Cara began singing harmonies, which began the next level of her musical interest. Finally, after many years of bothering her parents, at the age of 14 Cara received her first guitar. Her family anticipated that this would just be another phase that Cara went through, but to everyone’s surprise she spent many hours locked in her room teaching herself how to play the instrument. But in true Cara style, she never liked to take things slowly, before she had even mastered how to play more than four chords, she wrote her first song.

After finishing high school, Cara knew that her parents wanted her to have a post secondary education so she ventured off to Wilfred Laurier University to study Honours Arts. However, Cara spent most of her time in her dorm room writing new songs and experimenting with home recording. To gain experience in performing, Cara played at open mike shows and spent a lot of time in Toronto searching for any opportunity she could get.

While Cara is currently studying English at Ryerson University she balances the work load of school and music with pure determination. Though Learn it by Heart is still a green project, Cara’s hard work and continued song writing should make for a well-rounded debut CD.
