About: Mayd Hubb

From the beginning, awakening a curiosity without border, the theme of travel is for him a scouring inspiration source.

His discography comes like a zoom starting with India in 2007 (“Linga Yoni, The Dub Paradox”), then all around the world in 2009 (“The Blue Train”), until the moon in 2012 with Joe Pilgrim (“Mellowmoon”). As this structure ever widening, his music is characterized by a search space, a mystical experience in the depths of the underground. Constantly pushing the frontier of kinds, he’s creating a recognizable sound, adapted to the power of broadband sound like a shockwave.

In this logic of expansion, contact with public soon became one of the essential point of his creativity. Contrasting with the intimacy of his solo studio work, his live performances reveal a breathtaking energy and run without compromise, accompanied by a massive bass played by Zeuspi. In this respect, we could say that 2009 is revealed as the year of live concretisation. The release of his album “The Blue Train” led him to perform on the internationnal stage, USA, Canada, Europe, amounting him to the rank of unavoidable artists of the French Dub scene.

In 2011, his band TelDem Com’unity released an album “Ground Zero” very welcomed by critics and concert halls. Even today, his life is divided between these two projects, sometimes punctuated by amazing colaborations, espacially with Shanti D (“Politik”) or the label Jarring Effect (compilation JFX 100).

2012 will be the year of many surprises because he released with the singer Joe Pilgrim the ambitious “Mellowmoon”. Dedicated to the moon, this new album turned to the earth on one side and to the stars on the other promises to be a first step towards a much greater dimension. A music from elsewhere for a live all in power, that you will find on stage in March.

About: Plumb

Tiffany Arbuckle Lee (born March 9, 1975) is a Contemporary Christian singer-songwriter who uses the stage name “Plumb”. She has performed several different genres of music, including Alternative Rock and Christian Alternative rock and a few of her remixes have appeared on dance charts. She is known for her pensive lyrics and soprano voice.

1997 – 2000 (Band Years)

In 1997, Plumb released her self-titled debut album “Plumb”. In 1999, she released her second studio album “candycoatedwaterdrops”, which won the 2000 Gospel Music Association Dove Award for "Modern Rock Album of the Year". Two tracks from it were later covered by other artists; "Stranded" by Jennifer Paige and, in 2003, "Damaged" by Plummet.

Plumb was marketed as a band during the first three album releases on Essential Records. The band was named after the Suzanne Vega song "My Favorite Plum”.

2000 – Present (Solo Career)

Plumb wanted to leave the music industry after the 2000 album. Lee received a note from a girl a few hours before what she thought to be her final concert. The letter was about the Plumb song "Damaged" that Arbuckle Lee had written and recorded about a girl coping with being molested as a child. The note said "Whatever you do, I just want you to never forget that you have changed someone's life." The note inspired Arbuckle Lee to remain in the music industry.

In order to leave Essential Records, Plumb had to fulfill her contract obligations, and this led to “The Best of Plumb” record in 2000. She signed to Curb Records as a solo artist in 2003, releasing the album “Beautiful Lumps of Coal”. The lead single, called "Real", peaked at No. 41 in the UK Singles Chart.

Her album “Chaotic Resolve” entered the Billboard Top 200 album chart at No. 177 on March 9, 2006. "Better" reached No. 1 on the U.S. Christian airplay chart. The Bronleewe & Bose remix of her follow-up, "Cut", hit No. 1 on XM's dance hits channel BPM, and No. 5 on Billboard's Dance Charts Hot Dance Airplay.

Her third solo album, Blink, was released on October 9, 2007. "In My Arms", the first single from the album, was remixed by Kaskade, Scotty K, Bronleewe & Bose, Gomi, and Bimbo Jones and reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Dance Charts.

On May 19, 2009, she announced that she was recording a new album titled Beautiful History due out later in the year. The first single from Beautiful History, "Hang On", reached number one on US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play in 2009 and reached the top spot in Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart in 2010.

On December 20, 2012, she expressed a desire to rename her upcoming album from Faster Than a Bulletto Need You Now in honor of the victims and families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

About: The Judes

Cory, Jim and Mike are three likely lads from Winnipeg, Canada who formed a band that has evolved in to something pretty amazing. The Judes have a unique presence, that something special that sets them far apart from the everyday songs that bombard us at every turn. It is this simplicity and rawness that takes everyone to that great place which is fun, good times, and above all an appreciation of great music.

There are some obvious Beatles connotations and influences (Hey Jude) but don’t brush this off as another wannabe band as you will be sorely mistaken! The Judes have already made waves in Australia on their last jaunt overseas. A small tour with a big outcome, fans and crowds all finding an unquenchable curiosity with this international Trio.

Every now and then a band comes along that grabs you by the ears and just makes you listen. One that doesn't sound like just anyone. A band that changes people's perceptions. A band that quite possibly, changes music.

In an age where music is regurgitated and the rate of 200mph, it's refreshing to hear something a little different and less sterile - something that has heart and soul, something that lights that spark of emotion that makes you feel music.

A return to fun. A return to roots.

This is what music is meant to be about. This is what we almost lost.

This is passion, dreams, and the belief that one band can change the world.

The Judes are planning a second exodus to Australia’s shores later this year. With a firm fanbase in place and a taste of life downunder it promises to be a road trip like you see on the movies. If you keep an eye on the street press, your local live music website & the festival listings no doubt their names will be there. Go and watch them then breath out a sigh of relief, music is alive and well again.

Don’t take my word for it, download a copy of The Judes EP offering ‘Sunflower’ from digital retailers everywhere…. I think you’ll get it

About: Acid House Kings

After the breakup of their band Poprace, singer/guitarist Niklas Angergård and his bassist brother Johan joined up with guitarist Joakim Ödlund and formed the Swedish twee-pop trio Acid House Kings in 1991. Initially inspired by their shared disappointment over the breakup of Felt and common dissatisfaction with Morrissey's Kill Uncle album, the trio began crafting a innocent and simple brand of pop. Signing to the German label Marsh Marigold, the group issued its debut EP, Play Pop!, in early 1992, followed later that year by the full-length Pop, Look & Listen! The group's rediscovery of childhood favorites the Pet Shop Boys informed 1994's Monaco G.P. EP; disappointed by the record's lack of chart success, Acid House Kings maintained a low profile for the next three years as the Angergård brothers worked on other projects (Club 8 for Johan, Red Sleeping Beauty for Niklas), finally resurfacing in 1997 with the single "Yes! You Love Me." Advantage Acid House Kings was released the next year on Johan's Labrador label.

Soon after, Ödlund left the band and Julia Lannerheim, who had sung background vocals on the record, joined. The trio next surfaced in 2002 with the album Mondays Are Like Tuesdays and Tuesdays Are Like Wednesdays, followed three years later by the excellent Sing Along with Acid House Kings. The latter album's unique packaging included a bonus DVD with karaoke-friendly versions of each song. Their next EP, Do What You Wanna Do, played up this angle as well by including versions of songs from the album sung by friends of the band. After this the bandmembers took the next few years off, as real life and other projects took up most of their time. When they began work on the next album, Acid House Kings spent a long time honing the potential track list until they ended up with, in their words, "ten songs and ten potential singles." Music Sounds Better with You was released in March of 2011. ~ Jason Ankeny & Tim Sendra, Rovi

BIO: Translunar

I am an electronic music composer, producer and sound designer. This is my electronic music project which I set up four years ago to compose and produce melodic, epic electronic music.

I have released 3 albums so far. One with Expat records and two with Ubetoo and the links can be found above.

I am a composer and performer and have been making music for over 20 years and have a background as a rock guitarist, vocalist and keyboard player. Why then do I create electronic music? Well I always had a love and fascination with rock music and also electronic music and would always feel happy listening to Pink Floyd and Genesis as much as listening to Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre and Goldfrapp.

It is with this in mind that I decided four years ago to actually try and create my own style of highly melodic music using mainly, synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines. This was in the main due to the fact that I believe that most electronic music these days had become a lot less reliant on melody and harmony and much more about the beats and the vibe. Now this is not a bad thing but I decided I could create a unique electronic/synthetic style using many of the elements of the modern genres such as Electro, Trance, Techno etc and knew that I could create sound scape's with an epic quality that did not necessarily just rely on the BPM or drum textures which seem to be so prominent in today's music.

I have also had a lifelong fascination with Human Space flight, Sc-fi and futuristic film's and themes so made sure I would incorporate this as a main theme or thread in my music.

In fact I would really love to hear my music being used in film, TV and Games project's and feel the melodic elements/themes of my work would suit Sci-fi themed projects and would really enhance the visuals.

Anyway please have a listen and if you get chance tell me what you think. Thanks for your support and PLEASE TELL ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT TRANSLUNAR!!!

Cheers,

Darrell

BIO: Howling Dollhouse

There is a noticeable and distinct difference in styles between each generation of music. The 60’s were all about freedom, love and tolerance. The 80’s bought us electronic cheese with a dash of hair metal while the ‘noughties’ heralded the dance generation. However, much like fashion, there is no longer a definite standard of music. Now more than ever, there is something for everyone. So how will we define our generation of music?

We will be defined by the boundaries we explore, the walls we break down and the beginning of the musical revolution. We will be defined by our individuality, our diversity. But most of all, we will be defined by our ability to adapt to the ever changing seas of flavour, while keeping a sturdy grip on our roots. We will be defined by bands like ‘Howling Dollhouse’.

The Present; ‘Howling Dollhouse’ is a five piece rock outfit who are just about to release their second full length studio album. Produced by David Carr (Antiskeptic, Sadhana) at Rangemaster Studios in South East Melbourne, the bands next offering promises to be one of the best albums released in 2012, and a key ingredient in the definition of this generation’s musical journey. ‘Howling Dollhouse’ are all seasoned performers with musical interests as varied as the songs they create. Yet even in with their assorted tastes, they hold true to their strengths and find ways to push the boundaries of their genre. ‘Howling Dollhouse’ consists of Azazel on the skins, BenJammin’ on the 6-string, Lee on the low 5-strings, Andy on keys and Trick on the vox. Five guys with the passion and the drive necessary to secure a spot in the soundtrack of the twenty-teens. Five guys who are prepared to take on the world, so the world better be God damned ready.

The Past; ‘Howling Dollhouse’ started their journey under the moniker ‘Into the Night’ in March, 2005. In 2007 they released their first 6-track EP titled ‘The Art of Honesty’, which served to classify the bands overall style. However, by the time the band released their first self-titled album in 2009, their sound was significantly different. The addition of Andy on keys opened the band up to a new realm of possibilities and by now the band was starting to feel far more comfortable with their place in the musical world. Mixed by Sylvia Massy (Tool, Red Hot Chili Peppers, R.E.M, Cog) and Rich Veltrop (System of a Down, Tom Petty) at Radiostar Studios in California and mastered at Crystal Mastering in Victoria, their self-titled album was the culmination of years of persistence and an unwavering thirst to release great independent music. The band has spent the past several years playing in top class venues such as ‘The Hi-Fi Bar’, ‘The Gershwin Room’ at the Esplanade, ‘Ruby’s’, ‘The Middle’ and ‘The Evelyn’, while sharing the stage with such high class acts like ‘Ten Thousand’, ‘Dead Letter Circus’, ‘A Sound Mind’ and ‘Thousand Needles in Red’ to name just a few. Yet, even with the enthusiastic response their album received, it was clear the band still needed to temper their song writing and concentrate on making their music more accessible to a wider audience. And in 2011, the band decided that to tie in with their new outlook, new album and unified style, it was time to upgrade the band’s image. After lengthy deliberation the band decided to abandon their long standing title ‘Into the Night’ and adopt the new name ‘Howling Dollhouse’.

The Future; As a band, the members of ‘Howling Dollhouse’ suffer under no illusions that to be successful in this industry takes more than mere musical prowess, and having a watertight business strategy is just as important as the product. They have spent the past many years not only learning about themselves as musicians, but also tuning their marketing and networking skills. They have the product, they have the skills, they have the drive. All of these elements converge to communicate one clear message;

Howling Dollhouse will one day be classed as Australian musical icons, they will be one of the defining bands of this generation. It’s not a matter of ‘if’; it’s simply a matter of ‘when’.

Full Moon Rising – Official Website

BIO: Full Moon Rising

Full Moon Rising is an International Music Project that integrates Daniel Tyler Pohnke’s thought provoking and infectious style of song writing into collaborations with local musicians to create a full color spectrum of music.

Daniel was inspired to write his first song the day his mother died in July 4th, 2000. Shortly after, the concept of Full Moon Rising was born as a way to express the lessons learned through Daniel’s life experiences. By 2003, Full Moon Rising quickly excelled in the Los Angeles and surrounding areas performing at Internationally Acclaimed venues like The Viper Room, Whisky and House of Blues.

In 2005 Daniel Recorded and Self-Produced the first 2 Albums: compiling more then 20 musicians to create the personally reflective double-disc musical quest entitled “Release,” and the visionary single-band EP entitled “Transition.” Both records were released on April 19th 2005. Immediately following, Daniel embarked on a five and a half month United States Tour creatively entitled “The Chameleon Tour,” building a following of over 10,000 active viewers that followed him via Photo blog as he performed spontaneously at Festivals, frat parties, living rooms, bars and streets, without any advanced bookings.

In 2007, after discovering Yoga, Meditation and the spiritual philosophies of the East, a yearning for a deeper experience in life led him to the Motherland of India. As he traveled the ancient land interacting with the people, music began to come to him in a much different way.

In the winter of 2008, after trekking the Himalayas a vision of an empowered Humanity came to Daniel as he was writing the lyrics of “Brave New World.” From that day forth, a plan was set into action and the invaluable partnership with the Mai Segev was born.

In 2009, they brought the music and message to Mumbai, began working with local musicians and performed at colleges, major clubs and festivals (i.e. Blue Frog, Khala Goda, celebrate Bandra), as well as intertwining with various spiritual paths and facilitating workshops for the “so-called” slum areas (i.e. Dharavi).

The recording of “Brave New World – The Time is NOW!” album began with the intention of collaborating with a different producer and unique set of culturally diverse musicians for each track. These recordings led them to remarkable personal and business interactions throughout India to Israel, Egypt, Germany, USA and back to India.

The unique multi-genre journey “Brave New World – The Time is NOW!” has grown beyond the album into the Brave New World Empowerment Festival and currently, Full Moon Rising is performing in various cities around the world.

BIO: Reno Ka

Reno Ka was born on August 20th 1988.

She is a singer- songwriter, known for her eclectic mix of various musical genres including house, R&B and soul.

Reno took part in piano concerts at the age of seven, and started her first studio productions only five years later. Her passion for music was discovered during her school days, and her work as a singer in the school band. Reno is currently working on her own music productions, with various music producers, DJs and music labels around the world, such as Terrence Parker, John Julius Knight, Enzo Siffredi, Philipp van het Veld, Jamez Et Soulboy, NB Records, Interlabel, and the UK based label Crossworld Records.

After initial productions, she was working on a remake for the US singer Rachel Wallace, in 2010 which will appear on Tom Novy's label 'Interlabel'.

At the age of fifteen, she was booked for several shows, and so she became a performing artist on different events and clubs, such as Pacha for example.

Since then, she has been performing in Austria, Germany, Spain, Croatia and Switzerland.

About: Gwamba

Defying description, but easily accessible. Incredibly deep, but dangerously shallow. In many publications and reviews the word "unique" appears, but is not necessarily their definition of unique.

Lyrical stories infused with thick dark E.V.P's trapped within a music that is heavy, but not in the conventional sense of the word. Possessed mainstay members MUSHAGA, and GWAMBA are sometimes visited by wood toting ghosts, but more times than not a programmable humanoid that go's by the name "machine".

When probed as to what category they fall into their response is sharp, and direct, "DON'T LABEL US, WERE NOT DONE YET"! Gwamba and Mushaga feel much more akin to the savageries and modern day hobo proclivity of the road as apposed to the safe confines of a normal stay at home robot glass tit lifestyle. Using both outdated infinite trigabyte computer systems, and modern day magnetic tape on head analog sound capturing techniques, their available to the public craft-work catalog is vast, yet compatible to any in the moment ear, or searching for yesteryear soul. Staying true to the teachings of their larger than life, but incredibly humble mentors,"BRACK", and "EMERIL" united as one shooting the fig to anyone or anything that may unsuccessfully attempt road blocking there destiny, Gwamba: The band is forever on the verge of a bro-down with every, and all life forms, for music truly is, their medication! ~ Dell Tearcut, New York Tribune

BIO: Tory Taylor Tompkins

My name is Tory and I am a independent singer/songwriter/musician based in the Austin and Houston areas. I write my own original music in the pop blues rock vein. I also am a big music fan and play a ton of covers of other artists including everything from Tom Petty to Reckless Kelly to Little Wayne. I love to entertain and play a lot of different events and venues around Texas as a one man band such as Saxon Pub, Momos, Cellar Door, Fitzgeralds, Avant Garden, Wine Styles, County Line, etc.

I love to get a crowd riled up and get them dancing, yet I also love relaxing an audience in upscale environments. It's all about the audience for me. I play acoustic and electric guitar and keyboard and I have boundless energy and enthusiasm for what I do.

I have a lot of videos on YOUTUBE you should check out. It includes a mix of live performances at venues like SAXON PUB and MOMOS in Austin as well as home videos of me doing various covers.

As a university student at UT Austin, my touring outside Texas has been limited to weekends and summers, but I have had the opportunity to play in Nashville, Los Angeles, Orange County (various) and even in Prague, Czech Republic!!

I recently released a short album back in January of my own original music. I have written dozens of originals, so a full album is on the way. Read the review below of the album by producer Marco Parella (below), and check out the EP on iTunes!!

Sincerely,

Tory

Review of Tory's new Somewhere Good, release on iTunes Ianuary 20, 2010! By track name. Courtesy Marco Parella

1. SOMEWHERE GOOD":--> Proof that Tory has perfected the ART of songwriting. It always puts a BIG smile on my face. I strongly recommend any musician learning the ropes on how to write a good solid song to listen in and learn by simply listening to this fantastic original containing a touch of class,

ample talent, and a golden drop of soul !!!

2. "CONTROL FREAK":--> has all the elements of a classic high energy rollercoaster ride with lots of attitude to go along with it, lots of sonic intensity and HUGE amount of confidenece all coming from this strong willed Texan girl with a BRIGHT smile !!

3. PAPER THIN ICE":--> its emotional, POWERFUL, direct and skinn DEEP !!!

4.RABBIT HOLE":--> exquisite vocal falsetto and sustain, sure can't help but sing along to this carnival ride of a song to the very end. You will find many interesting sound arrangments which will draw in your attention like a MAGNET to a sweet surrender !!

5. "EYE OF A HURRICANE":--> this is one of those classic songs which always manages to recieve all the Honors and well deserved Awards. A delight from start to finish with no shortage of smart lyrics and near haunting melodies which make it so mesmerizing!!!

Simply put, a song with so much Fire and passion it can easily engulf any listener with just one listen !!!
