Whitehouse gets a leg up over Major Label Artists
Posted by admin in Artist News Wordpress
It’s always exciting to see an artist take control of their careers and move with the professionalism that has Major Labels scratching their heads wondering where they missed the boat.
Chris DeMarco began his career in music as a much sought-after musician and band
front man, having shared the stage and played with a virtual who’s who of
super-musicians of the ‘70’s and ‘80’s. After deciding to leave behind the glare
of the bright lights of Hollywood and the ever-pulsing New York music scene,
DeMarco settled into the cadence of more laid back climes that now finds him at
his most serene self. He now has two CDs on his self-distributed label Dreamco
Music and shows himself to be in fine musical form as he treats us to a volume
of classic fare meant to please the true Rock aficionados among us.
The Hills Are In His Heart A Review of Sweet Tea a CD by Hills Rolling
by Mark Kirby, Whatever one could say about Hills Rolling, the moniker of one-man band Trey McGriff, you can't accuse him of having shallow roots. On his myspace page he lists as influences about one hundred or so bands and musicians. There are old schoolers (Otis Redding, The Beatles, Pink Floyd), new schoolers ( The Killers, My Morning Jacket), tweeners (Nirvana, Dinosaur, Jr.) electro types (The Cure, Depeche Mode) and eclecticians like him (Beastie Boys, Beck). No doubt this is in part a smart-ass commentary on the "what are your influences" question.
Sad Songs Say So Much A Review of Attention to Detail
by Mark Kirby, There are no accidents. This lesson was reinforced recently when I was procrastinating from my assigned job of reviewing Daryle Stephen Ackerman's new CD Attention To Detail. I was playing an obscure 1974 record called Lady June's Linguistic Leprosy, featuring Brian Eno, fresh from his stint in Roxy Music, and the trippy wizard from Canterbury, England, Kevin Ayers.
NightDancers' Montana Crossings: Flute Music of Transformation
by Mark Kirby, Photo by Sandro Lamberti Whether it has to do with the philosophy of better living through habit, thought or magical action, things that are associated with "New Age" are theoretically supposed to have some basis in spirituality. Yet much of this spiritually is lightly rooted in the shallows of corporate productivity techniques or power-of-positive-thinking type truisms with some pseudo eastern promises for dressing.
