The Devil Wears Parda, Family Force 5, Shiny Toy Guns, Seabird, Flatfoot 56, The Rocketboys, and Dignan all recently recorded promos for Cornerstone Festival 2009 at SXSW. Here’s one of them:

The Devil Wears Parada has played there before:

REDEMPTION ROCKS and LAM PRODUCTIONS are proud to present MICHAEL ROE (The 77’s, The Lost Dogs). . . .

Sunday, May 3rd
5:00pm “Master Class”  (Only 1 person has registered so far.  Come on people!  We need 9 more!)
7:30pm Concert
Cozmic Pizza, 199 W 8th, Eugene, OR
To register for the Master Class click here

To purchase concert tickets click here

The “Master Class” will not be a ‘clinic’ in the typical music store sense nor a formal ‘class’ featuring printed curricula.

Mike says, “This is my chance to share some knowledge and technique with my fans in a more intimate and informal setting. . . my hope is to engage with the fans on a more personal level and share insight into some of the songs that have become favorites over the years.  I think it’s a great opportunity for all of us to have a lot of fun learning what I thought I already knew!  Those who attend the sessions will have the option to bring along their own acoustic guitars, and I will attempt to teach the group a medley of one of our ‘hits’ with the aim that if all goes well, the group could join me onstage for a final encore at the evening performance. A splendid time is guaranteed for all!” - Mike Roe

As a special bonus only for paid “Master Class” attendees, Mike will offer a free CD of rare and unreleased tracks as a limited edition souvenir to mark the event.

Please note that there is a separate fee and registration to attend the “Master Class.”  Mike will also be happy to field questions regarding vocalizing, the business of music, recording techniques and much more, and you may pose your questions on the PayPal payment form.

**There must be 10 participants for the class to go forward.  In the event the class is canceled due to lack of interest, the fee will be fully refunded. **

Showbread front-man Josh Dies will be hitting the road this January and February for a national tour in which he will be performing acoustic sets, speaking and reading from his written work…

The tour will also commemorate the release of the new DIES EP “Talons”, Josh’s new children’s book “The Insect” and the first printing of his 2006 novel “The Spinal Cord Perception” in over 2 years.

Tour dates have been posted at myspace. com/showbread

Shows are generally pretty cheap and Josh is working to make each date a unique experience including a mostly request acoustic set (you can request songs by emailing joshuastephenporter@yahoo.com and including your name and the show you’re attending)… If the tour comes near you, please come see it.

Announcing THIS TIME OF YEAR EP, the brand new release from Project 86 available Tuesday, November 25th! This release is NOT in stores and is only available from the Project 86 online store or in digital format from iTunes*, Napster, Rhapsody and Amazon MP3. Five new tracks from Project 86 on this Holiday EP! This is not just a batch of Christmas covers. This is brand new music from Project 86, for you, for the holidays:

The band had this to say about the new EP:
“We wanted to get people new, original music around the holidays. We were very happy with the cover of “This Time of Year” and used that as a springboard into new songs. This isn’t a Christmas EP, though that song is a cover. This is a collection of original material based on some Holiday themes, but with a bit more scope than that. There are some ideas here musically and spiritually that can apply to the whole year…”

Listen to three tracks off the album now!

Come celebrate the release of THIS TIME OF YEAR EP at two very special shows:
-December 7, Ennepetal, Germany. Christmas Rock Night. P86 is co-headliner!!
-December 13, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Club 3 Degrees. W/ Children 18:3!!

*”According to the band, iTunes has failed to publish the digital release EP on launch date; the band are working on the problem. All the more reason to buy the physical copy!

THE SHOWDOWN RETURNS!

It’s Tuesday, February 20th and that means the new album “Temptation Come My Way” from The Showdown is in stores! We have been way overdue and this album doesn’t disappoint.

What are the critics are saying?

“one of AP’s bands you need to know in 2007” — Alternative Press (AP)

Temptation Come My Way is going to be accepted by the public, there’s no doubt about that.” — HM Magazine

Artist to Watch in 2007 — Relevant Magazine

‘The roots of the Tennessee-based band certainly can be traced back to classic heavy metal. Their songs ignoring any falderal get straight to the point, are spiced with brilliant double-axed guitar leads and dominated by David Bunton’s massive voice reminding of James Hetfield at times.” — Metal Hammer

WHERE DO YOU BUY?

Best Buy: Buy it here and it will only cost $7.99 plus you will get an extra track that is on the insert card in the cd.

iTunes: the album is up and is on the rock page so go GIT IT!

Pillar writes to say, “The new album continues to come along nicely. Just last week we
wrote two more songs that have the potential to be the best of the lot. Last Friday was an off day on The Warriors Tour so we went back in the studio for the day to record these two new
jams. The working titles for these two songs are “The Reckoning” and “Autumn”. Rob has two more weeks in the studio booked after the tour to finish up vocals. Check out these 3 short video clips from our day in the studio.”

http://www.bandfarm.com/clients/pillar/lester_drums

“We also had several meetings with our management and record label last week to discuss the new album. It appears the new album will be released in October. Once we get a set release
date we will let you all know. While that may appear to be a long wait just know that we are planning something for you all this very early summer. Something that will make you all happy.
It might involve some new songs and audio from a live show? So do you guys want to hear a new song? Right now? We will be leaking a rough mix of our new song “Everything” this week on
the tour podcast”

THE WARRIORS TOUR PODCAST
Pillar will be leaking a rough mix of their new song “Everything” this week on a Warriors Tour podcast episode. If you don’t know what a podcast you better head over to www.thewarriorstour.com (podcast section) and check it out if you want to hear this new song.

TOURING WITH POD
Pillar is currently on tour with POD, The Chariot, and Maylene and the Sons of Disaster as part of The Warriors II Tour. The tour is half over and will soon be on its way to conquer the
west coast. I would have to say this is the best tour that Pillar has been apart of because of the fellowship between all the bands and the amazing crowd response. The guys in POD have
been very humble and cool with everyone. No “rockstar” attitudes from anyone on this tour.

Jade Tree is pleased to announce the digital release of PEDRO THE LION’s Tour EP 2004 (JT1120). Tour EP 2004 will be available through digital outlets on May 9, 2006. Recorded live in-studio while the band toured in support of Achilles’ Heel, the digital only Tour EP 2004 features an assortment of PEDRO THE LION originals, in addition to three diverse covers. The EP, originally self-released in July of 2004 by the band, culls from the extensive PEDRO THE LION back catalog, featuring new arrangements of ‘Transcontinental,’ ‘I Am Always The One Who Calls,’ and ‘Slow and Steady Wins The Race,’ juxtaposed against unique covers from Randy Newman, Cat Power and Radiohead. The end result captures the fundamental nature of PEDRO THE LION; averting conjecture over solemn swells of emotion, coaxing the angst from everyday life, but ultimately, never losing sight of a distant hope. The curtain may have been called on PEDRO THE LION as a full band earlier this year, but these songs are a
n erstwhile reminder of the expansive allure that once was PEDRO THE LION.

1. Transcontinental
2. I Am Always The One Who Calls
3. Slow and Steady Wins The Race
4. Political Science (Randy Newman)
5. Metal Heart (Cat Power)
6. Let Down (Radiohead)

The EP will be available through iTunes US, UK, EU and eMusic among many others.
