the Rock: Fooling April (9:00 pm)
an encore performance of our friends from Philly

This melodic piano-driven quartet from Philly has had a quite a year. Their single, "Firefly", from the band's debut album found a home at 1 on the Clear Channel unsigned charts for almost 4 months and was featured on over 450 Clear Channel station websites and yielded many live spins as well. All of this coming shortly after being selected the flagship band for a new online venture, American Idol Underground. This opportunity would lead to appearances on FOX and NBC television as well as a full feature in American Idol the Magazine.

Celebrities such as Teddy Geiger (Columbia recording artist) and Alex Chando (CBS' As The World Turns) fed the buzz by sporting Fooling April apparel to major media events such as the 2006 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and People Magazine's "100 Most Beautiful". The band has shared the stage with legends in the making: Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Franz Ferdinand, Dido, among many others. On the eve of the band's second release (due in April 2007), Fooling April is poised to establish themselves as a serious new player on the musical landscape. Fooling April on Myspacee...

the Rock: 3rd Culture (10 pm)
soulful britpop from Americans...

3RD CULTURE blends the melodic ambitions and lush textures of Britpop with the soul of American Rock n' Roll. The result is a dynamic, youthful, and refreshing pop/rock sound. 3RD CULTURE is a global collision spanning 3 continents, each member bringing a decade's worth of experience performing and recording tracks featured internationally on radio and television. "Sunrise for the Dislocated," the band's debut EP, brings to mind the classics of The Cars and the emotionally poignant sounds of contemporaries like Keane and Remy Zero. 3RD CULTURE radiates the signals of a bright future, in the legacy of U2 and Tom Petty.

there's more detail about 3rd Culture here....

the Rock: Spiraling (11 pm)
lush keyboard driven artistry...

As its name implies, Spiraling has never been a band that's comfortable sitting still. The band's restless passion and energy infused every track on its adventurous debut, Transmitter, and came across with even more fire and purpose on its spirited follow up, Challenging Stage. On the strength of these recordings, as well as an ambitious touring schedule that has brought it from New York to L.A. to Tokyo, Spiraling has developed a devoted worldwide following. Known for its captivating live show, Spiraling continues to hook both critics and fans with a distinctive brand of synth-driven rock that fuses infectious pop hookery with punk-rock fire, new-wave finesse, and prog-rock precision.

At the center of things is frontman Tom Brislin, a keyboard prodigy whose instrumental acrobatics had previously won him a spot touring with legendary supergroup Yes. On stage, he attacks his keyboards with a fervor reminiscent of the way Pete Townshend used to attack guitars (he stops short of smashing them, though). And like Townshend, he's developed a reputation as a sophisticated and thoughtful composer who is able to make the most of an explosive rhythm section; the passionate musicianship of guitarist Marty O'Kane, bassist Bob Hart, and drummer Paul Wells lends an electric sonic intensity to Brislin's heartfelt lyrics and melodies. But the comparisons and verbalizations have to stop there, because Spiraling's is a sound that defies comparison and easy categorization. Just listen... the web home of Spiraling

the Rock: Starbolt 9 (12 mid)
the artists formerly known as Mesmer

Starbolt 9 combine the flash and swagger of British Glam with the pop sensibilities of 80's New Romanticism to forge a unique sound that conjures such seminal artists as Bowie, Suede and the Verve. All the while, Starbolt 9have not forgotten the key ingredients for success in the industry, the melodies are drenched in emotion, while also remaining pleasantly accessible, the stage performance includes overt showmanship, but the "show" is not contrived. They perform with a distinct edge and swagger, crying out to their audience with a sense of urgency and otherworldy rebellion that has raised more than a few eyebrows around the NYC area.

    the Rock: Team Spider (9:00 pm)
    record release for the punk bike riders

    Born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan TEAM SPIDER have been rocking Squats, punk clubs and large outdoor festivals for the last five years. Their D.I.Y. attitude has produced 4 EPs, 3 DVDs, and a long running Manhattan Cable Access / Cable Modem TV show known as TEAM SPIDER TELEVISION. The members of the band are avid bicyclists and First Amendment defenders. Violinist Ben and Guitarist Xris met in the back of a NYPD paddy wagon after they both were arrested for riding Critical Mass bike rides.

    Team Spider has a new album out - check it out

    The Rock: Twice as Bright (9:45 pm)
    from the artist formerly known as Hoy

    NYC band Twice As Bright is an even more caffeinated and lush version of singer Greg Hoy's guitar chordal pop rock fury. Still 'fortified with hooks that bounce through your head (Punk Planet)', Hoy's new songs dig deeper into the 60's and 70's rock archives, at times recalling a punked-up Neil Young or a less dramatic Queen.The band's 'clear-eyed rock is fueled by straight-up melodicism (Time Out NY)' but the new T.A.B. record reveals whirling piano to the rock-fuzz sound, coming this fall from White Shoe Records.

    Twice as Bright is on Myspace...

    The Rock: Lord Classic (10:30 pm)
    Marsupial Rock... we can't get enough!

    Like pure cracoteine from the mucousedy eyes of Avuamian munchkin cats. Lord Classic makes your drink taste laced. It's eclectic, its real, it's rock, grunge, indie, pop, it's durge music. See and hear more at www.lordclassic.com

    Lord Classic... be their friend!

    The Rock: the Nillaz (11:15 pm)
    bringing the crunk to punk

    New York City's The Nillaz are Crunk Rock. The pioneers of a futuristic sound best described as a rugged mix of punk rock and crunk rap - imagine Lil' Jon fused with Minor Threat or D4L twisted through Nirvana - The Nillaz are poised for a breakout year. Since their founding in 2003, The group, fronted by vocalists JaVa and Ill-On with musical prodigy Ethos Forbes leading the band, have harnessed the parallel energies of punk and crunk and flipped them into the first musical style to cross over from both sides. The Nillaz toured the nation in 2005 and 2006 on the Vans Warped Tours, and tore up showcases at CMJ in 2004 and 2006 and SxSW in 2005. Throughout their travels, they've shared the stage with a a multitude of acts including Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heroes, My Chemical Romance, The Transplants, Run DMC, Spank Rock, Gogol Bordello, and Joan Jett. Addicts for the stage, The Nillaz have been known to up-stage their better known tour mates, and have developed a legion of Nillaz fans from around the world who come from far and wide to tear it up Nillaz Style. Though they produce most of their own music, The Nillaz have also collaborated with producers Megahertz (Nas, Busta Rhymes,) U.F. Low (Si*Se,) and the late Disco D (50 Cent, Trick Daddy.) Ferocious booth monsters known for turning recording sessions into a party, The Nillaz have a knack for taking any listener's mind off of the boredom of everyday life and to the party with them Starting 2007 with a shotgun blast, The Nillaz are back in the studio recording the follow-up to their 2005 self-titled debut. 'Fire it up and grab a 40, these boyz are out to destroy.'

    If you remember Grey Tuesday, you can skip to the link. If not, this is a great website to educate yourself on the politics of music... Here's what they say for themselves: Downhill Battle is a non-profit organization working to break the major label monopoly of the record industry and put control back in the hands of musicians and fans. Downhill Battle launched in August 2003 to create a public voice that could counter the distortions of the RIAA and the major record labels. Downhill Battle is a collaborative project and we work with musicians, music fans, artists, and designers around the world. There is a core group of people working full-time, based in Worcester, MA. We see an unprecedented opportunity to create a decentralized music business and a level playing field for independent musicians and labels. We're doing everything we can to make that happen. Join the revolution... or at least learn something.
