the Bear Invade Sasquatch |
PR reports: Sasquatch, Friend or foe? Although
beastly in it’s demeanor who do you think would win in a street brawl,
Minus the Bear or a Sasquatch? Perhaps you will be lucky enough to find
out this weekend as the band invades the Gorge for the Sasquatch Music
Festival.
Minus the Bear is presently one of the
most respected bands in the US with an impressive and devout grassroots
following. Their new album, Planet of Ice, is the perfect marriage of the
bands signature sound and experimental elements, but with an accessible
bent. Nurturing a bold stylistic shift towards progressive and psychedelic
rock Planet of Ice is loaded with hooks.
The album has several strong contenders
for possible singles (check out lead single “Knights”; also “Throwin’ Shapes”,
and “When We Escape”). The more experimental tracks (“Lotus”, “Double Vision
Quest”, “Part 2”) will show that after years of writing and touring, they’re
not satisfied with tried and true. They’ve continued to push the envelope,
emboldening their chops as players, and mastering the art of reinvention
almost effortlessly. Miss the fest? Have no fear, grab a preview at the
full story link.- Click

Sues Brandy |
TMZ reports: One of the survivors of the fatal
car crash involving Brandy is going after the singer in court, claiming
that the ousted "America's Got Talent" judge should have known the consequences
of speeding in a Range Rover.
In the lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles
County Superior Court and exclusively obtained by TMZ, Mallory Ham claims
that Brandy "recklessly wantonly, unlawfully, and maliciously" operated
the car responsible for causing a deadly collision on the 405 freeway last
December.
According to the document, Ham, who says
she was "severely injured" as a result of the multi-car accident, is demanding
that the singer pay for unspecified medical bills, pain and suffering,
legal costs and punitive damages.[see full story for more]-

| Broadjam
Now Offering Film/TV Service for Indie Artists |
PR reports: Broadjam.com, one of the Internet’s
predominant and unique music sites for independent musicians and fans,
recently launched a new service, ‘Broadjam Deliveries.’ This service provides
musicians with the opportunity to send their songs directly to music supervisors
for film and television, professional reviewers, as well as radio stations
throughout the U.S.
Founded in September 1999 by Roy Elkins,
a corporate executive and musician with many years of experience in the
field, Broadjam.com was created as a way to empower independent musicians
by providing them online promotional tools. The Madison-based company has
evolved over the last seven years, according to Elkins, from collecting
indie music to redistributing it to outlets that are traditionally difficult
for independents to reach such as film/TV and radio.
Broadjam’s dynamic community serves independent
artists and fans from all 50 U.S. states and more than 155 countries globally.
Providing musicians a place to call home, Broadjam includes opportunities
to place music, a song review system, artist profiles, the ability for
artists to sell their music downloads (and receive the highest payout in
the industry), over 225 Top 10 Charts, classified ads, song contests, the
ability to transmit music (give private access to download songs) and more.
