GREEN RIVER ORDINANCE
|
SLEEPSTAR MICAH PRESENTED BY MIX 104.1, MASSCONCERTS AND HARPERS FERRY
|
Green River Ordinance was born from this light. Brothers Geoff and Jamey Ice, Josh Jenkins, Joshua Wilkerson and Denton Hunker transformed their lives into one singular dream. The dream of creating music. While most kids their age were worrying about high school, they were writing and performing their own music.
Guitarist Joshua Wilkersons father played in bands, touring with The Beach Boys, Cheap Trick, The Guess Who and The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Brothers Jamey and Geoff Ice were raised by music-loving parents who even followed The Grateful Dead at one time. Mr. Ice also has his own country-western band, and encouraged his boys to play blues and classic rock at an early age. Singer/guitarist Josh Jenkins father was a country singer and songwriter. He had Josh decked out in old-fashioned western clothes and singing in local oprys as a small child.

THE MOVEMENT
|
|
BUILD A MACHINE
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rock, Reggae, and Hip]Hop: Each is definable, recognizable, and at once familiar to people the world over. But never have those three forms of musical expression been so effortlessly blended into one sound that is as indefinable as it is recognizable and familiar. Enter the Philadelphia quartet known as The Movement.
Growing up together in Columbia, Joshua Swain and Jordan Miller spent time jamming in various high school bands together. Swain, a multi]instrumentalist versed in guitar, bass, and drums, left for Floridafs Full Sail University in 2001, while Miller honed his freestyle rap, guitar, and keyboard skills in Columbia. Upon returning in 2002, Swain reconnected with Miller, and the two began writing songs in Swainfs garage using a drum machine and musical influences that range from Sublime to Tupac to Pink Floyd. The Movement was born.
Early incarnations of the band found them as a trio. It was Swain, Miller, and DJ Jon Ruff. They developed a loyal following as a trio and went on to release their first full length album, entitled On Your Feet. That album, recorded and mixed in 24 studio hours, was released in March of 2004 and continues to be well received by new fans worldwide.

TREVOR HALL
|
|
JER COONS
|
Trevor Halls self-titled Vanguard debut embodies a soulfulness, depth and passion far beyond the artists 22 years. His youthful exterior belies the depth and intensity of an old soul. Trevors music is an unconventional mix of acoustic rock and reggae that serves as a vibrant landscape for his thought-provoking, inspiring lyrics. Produced by Marshall Altman (Matt Nathanson, Kate Voegele, Marc Broussard), Trevor Hall encompasses the entire cosmology of this one-of-a-kind
young artist, from the opening Internal Heights, with its sitar-accented electro-groove, which recalls Peter Gabriel at his most expansive, to the meditative and intimate closer Many Roads, in which Trevor seems to be channeling his primary inspiration, Bob Marley. Indeed, Many Roads could stand as Trevors One Love. Weve heard there are many paths, but it turns out they all lead to the same place, he says of the songs ultimate point.
Halls previous recordings have appeared in numerous films and television shows including his recording, Other Ways, which was in the Shrek the Third feature and soundtrack. Trevor also covered the Bands Life is a Carnival for the star-studded tribute album, Endless Highway: The Music of the Band.

U-MELT
|
presented by ROCK ON CONCERTS
|
Brilliantly capturing U-Melts amazing ability to shatter musical boundaries and transcend genre classification, Perfect World, U-Melts eagerly anticipated third studio album will soon be released on Harmonized Records. Recorded in their home base of Brooklyn, New York within the confines of their self-constructed studio, Perfect World will capture your imagination and commune with the existential part of your soul that responds to mind-expanding music played by a band whose creativity knows no limits.
Consisting of 10 road tested tracks, the carefully crafted music and philosophical lyrics of Perfect World shows off U-Melts inimitable skill in its finest form. It is a rare band indeed that can navigate the intricate twists and progressive rock turns of Panacea," "Question Matters" and Elysian Fields, offer up the eminently danceable riffs of Pura Vida and Clear Light and gorgeously imbue the title track with a warily optimistic idealism. With a national release date of February 23, 2010, the inescapable rock and roll energy and dance grooves of U-Melt's Perfect World will move your psyche as well as your feet.
In February of 2010, U-Melt will kick off their Perfect World Tour which will carry the band across the nation and bring them to HARPERS FERRY ON February 27 - don't miss the Party!

TIGERCITY
|
WAVE MACHINES
presented by ROCK ON CONCERTS
|
Tigercity was formed in Northampton, MA in the fall of 2004. By summer 2005, Tigercity had themselves a DIY, bedroom electronics-style demo and started working with long time friend/engineer-producer Al Carlson (Brazilian Girls). In two months, Tigercity and Al Carlson molded the process-heavy demo tracks into what became the Tigercity EP (Forge Records). One of the tracks, Time Card appeared on the VICE Magazine CD/DVD Vol. 1 sampler in February, 2006.
Now living in Brooklyn, Tigercity's well-combined guitar-driven rock and electronic pop has them compared to acts such as Roxy Music, Talking Heads, The Police, and Prince.
Tigercity gives a tight and extremely engaging stage performance, recently selling out the Mercury Lounge three times in a row. Tigercity has also played packed rooms in NYC Miami, and Boston, including The Annex, North Six, The Knitting Factory, The Middle East, and Maxwells with acts such as Jamie Lidell, M.I.A, Serena Maneesh, Jimmy Edgar, Mobius Band, Oxford Collapse, Bon Savants, Eugene Mirman, and David Cross to name a few

EPILEPTIC DISCO (REUNION)
|
BOSTON JOLLY PIRATES SIDEWALK DRIVER THE CHANGE UP
|
Epileptic Disco was formed in the Jamaica Plain area of Boston in the Fall of 1993 by Boston Latin Academy Alumni Tom Appleman, Rick McLean, Dennis Doherty, and Dan Daly. ED added Sam Appleman (Tom's brother) as a second emcee in October of 1995 after Sam jumped on stage during one of ED's shows to freestyle. From that point on, ED developed a unique sound of rap vocals layered with powerful heavy laden funk. ED released its first full length album in the Spring of '97 titled "Spread the Seed." ED's popularity grew with its independent release and in the Fall of '97 they signed a recording contract with Heavy Rotation Records (a division of Berklee College of Music) and released "Before, During, and After..." in May of '98. Jeff Rothman played drums on the second album and remained with the group until they disbanded in 1999. Over the years, ED played over 250 shows throughout the New England area (primarily Boston). Although nearly 10 years have passed, ED may be considering a reunion show in the near future... UPDATE - IT'S OFFICIALLY ON!!!

TOUBAB KREWE
|
|
THE HEAVY PETS
|
Blending American and West African influences into a sound all its own, Toubab Krewe has set "a new standard for fusions of rock 'n' roll and West African music" (Afropop Worldwide).
Since forming in 2005, the magnetic instrumental quintet has won a diverse and devoted following at performances everywhere from Bonnaroo to the legendary Festival of the Desert in Essakane, Mali, the most remote festival in the world. The band developed their unique sound over the course of numerous extended trips to Mali, Guinea, and Ivory Coast, where they immersed themselves in the local culture and studied and performed with luminaries.
But the group has its roots in Asheville, NC, where many of its members were childhood friends and long-term musical collaborators. It was at home in the Appalachians, where the band recorded their sophomore album, Live at the Orange Peel. Produced by Grammy winning producer Steven Heller (who also produced the band's debut), the new album captures their outstanding 2008 New Year's run.
All of the songs are previously unreleased and continue to mix American rock with the West African musical traditions the band fell in love with on their travels. Along the way, they explore the worlds of surf and zydeco, fusing it all together into what the Village Voice describes as "a futuristic, psychedelic, neo-griot frenzy" and Honest Tune hails as "one of the most innovative voices in music today." The new release features collaborations with legendary spoken word artist Umar Bin Hassan of The Last Poets and fiddler Rayna Gellert of Uncle Earl.

BOB SCHNEIDER
|
Bob Schneider is not new to this game. He has built his career as a working class musician and as a result has an institution of faithful followers all across the country with a mega-fan-base epicenter in Austin. There have been highs - the near-breakthrough success of 'Lonelyland,' and the next-big-thing hype that surrounded it. And lows - he was subsequently dropped by two labels. Through it all he sustained and even flourished as an independent artist releasing five
albums, hundreds of digital singles, and fronting three bands simultaneously. Yet, Schneider still continues to push himself in a multitude of creative directions now with the beguiling melodies of 'Lovely Creatures'.

DAYS OF THE NEW / SPONGE
|
Music wasn't a chosen profession for Travis Meeks. To hear him tell it, it was never a choice. Music was salvation - an exceptional world much more welcoming to him than the one around him growing up. Balancing the influences of Pantera and Guns n Roses with the exotic tones of The Doors and Dead Can Dance, Travis wrote music as a response to what he saw. In the acoustic guitar Travis found an earthy, percussive sound to match his already powerhouse voice.
One of his first songs, "Freak" was composed on the instrument while walking the streets of his Indiana hometown in the dead of night. In those dark hours, a purpose was found and a voice was realized: Days Of The New was born.
Sponge has proven to be one of the Motor City's heaviest hitters after gaining international notoriety with 1995's debut album "Rotting Piata." Emerging out of Detroit with hits like "Plowed" and "Molly (16 Candles)" Sponge received massive airplay on radio stations from coast to coast and were in heavy rotation on MTV. After "Rotting Piata" went Gold, the band toured internationally, sharing the stage with Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Live. Sponge was also a featured artist at Lollapalooza in both 1995 and 1996. The band stood out as one of the 1990's most charismatic live acts. Front man Vinnie Dombroski's powerful voice, heart-on-his- sleeve lyrics and stage presence captivated numerous audiences and still continues to bring down any house he steps in. Sponge's follow up CD to Rotting Piata, the critically lauded Wax Ecstatic included the hit songs "Wax Ecstatic" and "Have You Seen Mary?" They followed up with their third release New Pop Sunday and several Soundtrack and compilation appearances. Sponge's Idol Records debut, For All the Drugs in the World, is a swirling sonic attack that has it's roots in the classic rock of Aerosmith and The Rolling Stones, 70's glam and of course, the Motor City influences of The Stooges, The MC5 and Motown-but at the same time sounds like nothing else....

It's all in the numbers......To promote their first live DVD-'68 Angry Minutes'-Local H is taking a cue from their sold out, 7 night stand in Chicago and bringing all 6 of their studio albums on the road. Every night, the band will put every one of their records in a hat (sorry, guys. No B-sides); one lucky(?) member of the audience will be selected to pull a record out of that hat-and presto! Local H will play it front to back. On the spot. All that AND a bonus set of choice cuts from the unpicked records. Only question is : Do you feel lucky, punk?
