XOXO - C'est La Vie - In Stores Today!

XOXO - Their flawless renditions of funky indie-pop/rock tunes have dazzled audiences with their complex vocal harmonies and unique interplay between voice and instruments. An act not to be missed, you are sure to find yourself  moving when you listen to XOXO. Their new EP, C'est La Vie, features danceable songs like "Done and Done", as well as hummable coming of age tales like "Merry Times" as well as the anthemic, "Life. . . In General". These tunes do their best at giving us a glimpse into the breadth of XOXO's song-writing ability, only hinting at what is yet to come.

XOXO is a Top Pick at Babysue.com: "Full of playful melodic pop. We rarely review EPs...and only in cases when the music is really exception. This disc most certainly falls into that category. C'est La Vie features some fantastic pop tunes presented simply without unnecessary fanfare. The vocals are particularly appealing...and the arrangements are kept to a bare minimum which allows the listener to concentrate on the vocal melodies and lyrics. Seven killer tracks here including "Fly Superman Fly", "Done and Done", "A Song for the Reminiscent", and "Merry Times". TOP PICK."

Their New EP: C'est La Vie
Available in stores Nov 3rd:

FYE, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Target & Best Buy

Also available on iTunes and all other digital outlets.

Gods of Fire - Hanukkah Gone Metal

Written and performed by New York City heavy metal band Gods of Fire, Hanukkah Gone Metal is an 8 song collection celebrating all the fun and importance of the Festival of Lights. Both triumphant and uplifting, this wildly inventive album tells the story of Hanukkah through a rich fusion of heavy metal music, traditional melodies, operatic vocals and a klezmer soul. Two holiday favorites, "Oh Hanukkah" and "Havenu Shalom Alechem", are featured alongside original songs about the menorah, gelt, spinning dreidels, fighting dragons for latke oil and a historical document of the Maccabean war. For fans of Iron Maiden, Manowar, Helloween, Dio, Judas Priest and Dream Theater.

Available now at iTunes and all other Digital locations.

POCKET: Double EP Feat. Craig Wedren & Dave Smalley

POCKET: DOUBLE A-SIDE EP’S FEATURING

CRAIG WEDREN & DAVE SMALLEY

Plus remixes by Styrofoam, GD Luxxe & Spoolwork

DESCRIPTION

Something different this time:

2 separate singles, each acting as the others B-Side!

Craig Wedren (Shudder To Think) and Dave Smalley (Dag Nasty, Down By Law) both have connections to DC’s hardcore scene and Dischord Records, so it seems like a fun idea to release them together! POCKET used pieces of the same Satoshi artwork for the covers so if you hold them together, you get the complete picture. Videos for both songs will be released in conjunction with the singles.

POCKET, aka Richard Jankovich, fronted electro pop group Burnside Project whose “Cue The Pulse To Begin” was the title theme of Showtime’s Queer As Folk.

He has remixed Radiohead, Beck, Joanna Newsom, Of Montreal, Kristen Hersh, Antony & The Johnsons, Asher Roth and many more.

POCKET’s latest project is a series of singles with A-Sides featuring a “Dream List” of legendary vocalists to collaborate with. These songs are paired with B-Sides where he introduces breaking artists. Each release also features three remixes

by producers from across the spectrum of electronic music, such as Styrofoam, Justus Köhncke & GD Luxxe.

88.5 FM Woodstock Re-Creation

The Beauvilles, loud, punky re-creation of The Who

Words from 88.5 FM Program Director, Randy Wynne

Randy Wynne is still reeling from last night's Woodstock Tribute. "This was one of the best - if not the very best - WMNF events ever. Highlight after highlight, too many to list here but I may do so later, or post them from youtube if they show up there. ...Every band rose to the occasion with truly inspired music and theatrics. I dare say in some cases they surpassed the original Woodstock music.

1) Shawn Kyle and The Beauvilles loud, punky re-creation of The Who in the mode of young rebels making a generational statement (to aging baby boomers), with their set opening with "My Generation" and closing with "Young Man Blues"; and yes, Shawn did smash a perfectly good guitar. 2) Macon GA singer Jessica Alkinson as Janis Joplin, 18 years old and what a voice! 3) Scott Elliot as Joe Cocker, a revelation!"

- Randy Wynne, Program Director 88.5 WMNF
