Heavy Water Experiments ..

Germany album review (July 2010)
Next Big Thing (www.nbtmusic.wordpress.com)

"Never clumsy enough to be mistaken for simple hard rock, never bland enough to please those that seek the new age as a refuge from the difficult, it is an invitation to let go, to ride the hallucination bare back, to get fierce, to go crazy...a LOT to discover here."

Germany album review (July 2010)
Folk World (www.folkworld.eu)

"At the first hearing, it is clear why the duo experiments with heavy water (D2O). Their pictorial band name describes the unusual sound perfectly. The music is thick yet light, with brutal guitar riffs, bass lines--and heavy rock rhythms are associated with hypnotic vocals and psychedelic guitars and keyboard sounds. The songs are reminiscent of Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, The Beatles, but also the heavier rock of Black Sabbath. Melbye has a beautiful voice, screaming or crying, but never compromising the rough edges of the musical accompaniment, which makes for a fascinating sound...the idea of Syd and Iommi in perfect cosmic union is a nice one...drums, vocals and 8-string-bass/electric guitar divided up in unexpected and possibly physically improbable ways."

Matt Angus .. the bottom line .

The Bottom Line

It's rare to find an Americana singer who is willing to wear his blue-state heart on his sleeve like Matt Angus. But he's not here to put anyone down. Just give his tunes a listen, and you might find you like him just fine, and "maybe" we'll all somehow realize we're not all that different from each other.  http://countrymusic.about.com/od/cdreviewsal/gr/mattangus.htm

Junk the Band ...

J
 JUNKtheband is an ever changing improvisational music experiment.  The musicians each play a multitude of instruments, prefer an improvisational groove, and have a darn good time playing together.  Their shows are built on a framework of original songs and some uniquely arranged covers.

Deadman and Digi Hartatak...

\\ https://archive.org/details/LetterB

Okay, the underground can be found on the Internet Archive...

Deadman & Digi Hartatak are back.... in the 1970's. With some help from Electric Stiletto on pyramid drums on Electric Entourage, the funk flows freely and the grooves get groovier. Influenced by the progression through the decade of disco and decadance, Welcome Back takes you roughly back to the beginning you should have never escaped Kotter. Different strokes lead to Trapper John, time and time again. The Entourage is funky and Electric as they glam up the Vegas Strip with fear and loathing. Facing dual personalities at every turn, the next track is Bipolar Too.

The Rowdymen on the commercial Free Pluto radio stream..

On a whiskey fueled summers night in the heart of the Canadian Prairies, the worlds meanest Rockabilly band was born. For the past decade The Rowdymen have delivered their patented blend of High-Octane Edgy Rockabilly and Hard Drivin' Prairie Twang to audiences across the nation. This full throttle collective has shared bills with an eclectic mix of luminaries including Bill Haley's original Comets, Reverend Horton Heat, Hank III, Neko Case blues legend T-Model Ford, and Sleepy La Beef. Approaching show 1000, the band is back with a vengeance with the release of Gas, Liquor and Fireworks, the bands fourth full length release. With this record on Transistor 66, the Rowdymen show why they're one of the fiercest Rockabilly bands on the planet. From beer soaked rockers to murder death ballads, this record will kick your *** right on to the dance floor (as compiled from the band’s website).

We love ‘Johnny Rumble’…it’s all about the foot stompin’ here in the cave. The Rowdymen deserve to be heard!

REVIST: the music of Chris Klimecky ..

Revist of Chris Klimecky.   Chris was early to jump into the commercial free Pluto Radios stream.  Certainly deserving to be heard!

Originally posted via Pluto Radio spring 2012.

I hope 2012 is treating you well so far. March is here and I'm so excited about the coming month - my new album, This Journey, is officially (and finally) done and off to the replicators! It will be ready for distribution, both in hard copy and electronic form, in a few weeks. It has been an incredible journey and I've been working so hard I've stayed fairly quiet about it. Now as the release feels right around the corner, I realize how much help I need getting the word out. I've never been more proud about the music or artwork that I've put out to represent me. I hope that the love and sweat that I've put into it touches you and motivates you to tell a friend about it. Share and spread the love!

On my website, I've just released the full artwork for the album, so please have a look at the incredible graphics and design that David Cook of Cook-Creative and OriginWest put together for me: http://chrisklimecky.com/thisjourneyart/

Also, I am now working hard to put together a band that will represent this vision live with me. If you know of any musician who might be interested in joining up to rock out on these tunes, please let me know. It's going to be a fun couple of months as the music starts to get out there and a band comes together to bring it alive.

For now, have a fantastic March and I'll talk to you again soon. I'd love to hear from you, too, so please feel free to ping me at anytime. Thank you so much,

Chris

Eric Walker ..

Eric Walker’s career in entertainment began in the early eighties in acting. He is most well known for the two movies he starred in as Mace Towani for George Lucas in the Star Wars spin off known as The Ewok Adventures.
 
It was High School at LACHSA that he began his artistic journey into the uncompromising creative depth of music and all it has to offer. But he wasn’t satisfied with just knowing how to execute mere music play and this would lead Eric to purchasing his first keyboard, a Roland synthesizer. This allowed him to practice at home with no limit access to embedding himself into his endeavor to attain some kind of admirable mastery of the music he loved so much.  (as compiled on the Eric Walker website)

During the 80's, his metal band "White Widow" scored the special guest slot on DIO'S 1986 "Sacred Heart" tour of Australia, playing to 12,000 screaming maniacs. Hanging out back stage and swapping licks with Dio guitarist, Craig Goldy.
