The Last Goodnight Week: Stay Beautiful
antiMusic reports: This week we asked The Last Goodnight's Kurtis John to tell us about his five favorite tracks from their major label debut Poison Kiss. Today Kurtis tells about "Stay Beautiful":

 Stay Beautiful was another song that was written early on once we were in LA. The grooves in this song are among my favorite on the album. I felt that this was the first song I wrote where we had an upbeat tempo musically, and vocally the performance was as upbeat and on point. 

Live we've been able to play with it a little more and have fun with the song as a band. I knew it was something special when I'd have it in my car playing, and people would ask who and what it was without me telling them that it was our music. 

Hear for yourself and grab more info on the band, tour dates and more right- here

Bigelf To Finally Hex America!
BW&BK reports: Psychedelic rockers Bigelf has set an October 30th North American release date for its cult, underground album Hex. Recorded in 2003, Hex will now be available domestically for the first time ever via the Custard label. 

Flaunting a sound that interfuses all the best elements from the late 60's/early 70's rock movement, Bigelf create timeless songs that drip with surging guitar riffs, remarkable Hammond organ playing and some of the best vocal harmonies heard this side of Abbey Road. Often described as "a cross between PINK FLOYD and BLACK SABBATH" and "The Evil Beatles", Bigelf channels all of its influences and delivers music that shares an appeal with metal enthusiasts, classic hard rock fans and vintage prog-heads alike. Bigelf has firmly established its own identity through years of developing and modifying their own DNA into a powerful new kind of music in the tradition of the great rock acts from the past and is a cutting edge, musical experience unlike anything else out there today. 

On the Stateside release of Hex, Bigelf frontman/keyboardist Damon Fox explains, "Whenever I talk about Hex I like to quote the fans. An Elfhead in Brazil once told me, 'Without bands like Bigelf there will be no future. Rock needs heart, strength and open minds. The masters of the past have shown us the way. It's easy, we just need to be honest and do the right thing.' Wow, I couldn't of said it better myself." He continues, "People today want real music. They're almost dying for it. We're prepared to bring it and change people's lives just like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin did 30 years ago. I'm serious." - [this is definitely a CD to grab if you're a rock fan. See them live if you get the chance too, you won't regret it!] more on this story
