Chevy Gives Vehicle to Independent Musicians For Touring

May 16, 2012 in News by TMC

Beth Bombara “Wish I Were You”

The road is long ahead, but the Mid-America Chevy dealers have made one music group’s tour dreams come true by providing a Suburban for their upcoming tour. The group includes St. Louis-based songwriter and guitarist Beth Bombara, who is supported by Karl Eggers (banjo/guitar), JJ Hamon (pedal steel), and Kit Hamon (violin/fiddle). Together, Beth Bombara and her band create a modern day folk/alt-country sound drawing influences from Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams, and Neil Young.

“We are really excited to see Chevy’s initiative to invest in independent music. There’s definitely a need for that, with the decline of the traditional record label model which essentially provided huge loans to bands for funding records and touring. But it’s harder for smaller groups to get that now.”, says Beth. Bombara’s tour will cover 5,000 miles in 2 1⁄2 weeks. “I’m hoping that this opportunity will be a stepping stone to something bigger.” Tour stops include Memphis, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, Denver, Albuquerque, Durango, Tucson, Dallas, and Kansas City among others. Bombara and crew will be documenting the tour with real time photos, videos, and blog post, so fans can follow along. Read the rest of this entry →

CIA Creative Independent Artists Magazine

May 10, 2012 in News by TMC

In January of 2011, the idea came to me in a dream. The idea of this magazine is to portray the artist in the best possible light. The idea behind all our featured artists profiles is to make sure that what the public reads about them is what the artist wants them to perceive. The best photo, bio, and contact information of qualified artists to have themselves, their managers, promoters, or publicists submit the perfect artist profile information to be fitted to our magazine format.

The ensuing months of bringing this idea to fruition required the talent and creativity of one of the most articulate designer I’ve know over the years as a friend. I felt a vested interest in a magazine that was a “Horse Of A Different Color” would be the hook to spark anyone’s interest. It did!

We are not new to the Magazine Industry. Our Editor and Creative Director, Dianne Leonetti, has over 25+ years of award winning designs in the Art & Entertainment publication industry in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her highly successful publications, “I On Las Vegas”, “I Magazine” and her amazing graphic designs for other articles and publications has made her business http://www.dzinergraphics.com highly successful throughout the years. As co-owner of CIA Magazines and her personal commitment to create a high quality product, every issue is expected to be a showcase of excellence to all who are included. I consider each of them to be Award Winners!

Geri X: Work is the Wolf!!!!!

May 9, 2012 in News by TMC

Hear it, and you become the Wolf’s captive.13 records later, Geri X delivers a sound, more addictive than ever: melodic, intimate, upbeat, packed with grit in each note and phrase.

It takes you on a downright honest self discovery. It is a superior crafted piece of musical autobiography with an alluring cover.

This record reflects a prominent musical maturity and richness in sound Geri X didn’t focus on earlier. Work is the Wolf is the inherent ending of intense and exhausting touring and remarkable songwriting, combined with an “I’m better off” outlook on life. Everything in it: from the running order of songs to the artwork – delivers “a close to flawless album” (Skope Magazine). It is truly that good.

About Ger X:
Bulgarian-born Geri X is a composer, a musician and a singer hard to put a label on. Fans and critics spotted it from the moment she broke onto theTampa Bay Music Scene: Geri is an artist with a singular sound you have not heard before. One can see it in the way she confidently plays her Babicz guitar, eyes half open and soul pouring out with a rich, crisp and mesmerizing voice. Read the rest of this entry →

Freudian Slip From The Beginning

May 9, 2012 in News by TMC

Freudian Slip – Swerp Records Presents

The best place to begin telling the story of Freudian Slip is from the beginning. James O’Callaghan and Brendan Smyth (simply known as Smyth) began jamming in the garage behind Smyth’s house. Sean Henry was later recruited to play bass and Drew Erickson for vocals and guitar. After weeks of writing and practicing, they were ready to record their material. Freudian Slip recorded Sle EP over the span of two snowy nights in the basement of an avid vintage horror movie fan. It was released for free and given out at shows played in back rooms of comic book stores and houses. After a span of playing shows and getting trapped in Kentucky, FS took a break to begin writing new songs.

Sean soon fell of the face of the Earth and Marty Silha filled in his place, reuniting with his former Lights members James and Drew. Practices became longer and more often as new songs were written and old songs were trashed (later to be recycled). This time around, the Slip decided to do the recording themselves, passing Jamie’s iMac and a cheap microphone back and forth between members until Tube Tied was born. Excited to play again, FS booked coffee houses and garages at random parties of friends, making sure their cardboard cutout of Michael Jordan was with them every step of the way.

WATER HOUSE – ROSIE GUADALUPE WILMA MARY ANN

May 6, 2012 in News by TMC

Released By Swerp Records:

President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born May 29th, 1917.

Now that we have that out of the way, let me tell you about Water House. Water House has been called many things, but none of those things are “fraud”. If you ask Red Nichols, he’ll tell you the whole thing was his idea. He’s lying.

Anyway, Water House started in the south suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. They started in a gross basement, as many bands do. Back then, it was just the four of ‘em. Billy Radtke, Randy Tadlock, Daniel Velazquez and Ian Sutherland. They would spend countless hours arguing over where a smell was coming from, and eventually some vague idea of a “song” would take shape. When they realized none of them could play the “drums”, a need for someone who could was noticed, ignored, noticed again and finally acted upon. Nnamdi Ogbannaya was the man for the job. Why do people always say that? “Man for the job”?

Things were different then. Johnson was in office, and the octagon had just become a shape. Besides all that, Water House was just a baby. A dumb, ugly baby with no legs to walk on. Oh, also, Nnamdi stopped being the drummer, and moved to Basstown and a young man calling himself Brendan Smyth came to Drum Island. Somehow, a real band grew out of this horrible wreck, and songs happened. Early examples of these “songs” were what eventually became the classics “Snakebite” and “NO! FUN!”. Originally, everything was just a convoluted mess of yelps and clicking sounds. Some people might say it still is. Some people might say ALL music is, but that’s for another day.
