“An Evening With Todd Rundgren – Live At Ridgefield” To Be Released August 26, 2016!

Cleopatra Records is pleased to announce “An Evening With Todd Rundgren – Live At Ridgefield” on August 26, 2016. Get ready for an incredible concert experience, a multi-media extravaganza available on CD, Vinyl, DVD, and Blu-ray, starring classic rock icon and famed songwriter/producer Todd Rundgren.

A Wizard, A True Star, the title of his 1973 solo album, aptly sums up the contributions of this multi-faceted artist to state-of-the-art music. As a songwriter, video pioneer, producer, recording artist, computer software developer, conceptualist, and interactive artist, Rundgren has made a lasting impact on both the form and content of popular music. He had produced more than fifty records for other artists, including Hall & Oates, Cheap Trick, Patti Smith, XTC, Grand Funk, The Band, and Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell.

Recorded live at the Ridgefield Playhouse in Ridgefield, CT on December 15, 2015, Rundgren's new release includes some of his best known songs including “Hello It's Me”, “I Saw The Light” and “Bang The Drum All Day”! PLUS, hear/watch fan favorites that haven't been performed live in decades, including unforgettable Utopia and Nazz anthems.

The set list consists of milestone Rundgren classics taken from his rich back catalogue, including songs from the albums “Something/Anything” (1972), “A Wizard, a True Star” (1973), “Faithful” (1976), “Hermit of Mink Hollow” (1978), “The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect”(1982), “A Cappella”(1985), “2nd Wind” (1991), “One Long Year” (2000), “Liars” (2004), “Global” (2015), plus key cuts from the Utopia albums “Oops! Wrong Planet” (1977), “Swing To The Right” (1982) and “POV” (1985), as well as from the first two albums by Todd's seminal 60's band The Nazz (1968 and 1969).

WMMW seeks Female Artists for CD & Live Performance Opportunity

WMMW is seeking submissions for a compilation CD.  The purpose of this CD is to both promote female artists and to accompany 3-4 runway exhibitions at the Southern Women’s Show April 2016.  The SWS of Nashville attracts an audience upwards of 30,000 women of all ages over 4 days.

The theme of the runway shows will focus on empowering women.  Songs do not have to speak directly to this but should support the idea.  Artists are asked to submit 1-2 up tempo songs for consideration.  (No covers, you must own the rights to your material.)  All artists will be asked to sign a release as the CD will be sold to cover costs of advertising at the WMMW promo booth.

Musicians are also encouraged to submit an application if interested in performing live at this event.  All contributing musicians will receive a working pass and are encouraged to be a part of Meet & Greet Sessions.  

Rock on!

 

Listen to VANILLA FUDGE on Little Steven's Underground Garage and Win a Trip to See The Fudge Live in Concert!

CLICK HERE TO ENTER CONTEST!

Los Angeles, CA - During the month of December, Little Steven's "Underground Garage" syndicated radio show will be featuring the new VANILLA FUDGE single "I'm A Believer" and to celebrate, Cleopatra Records and Vanilla Fudge would like to reward one lucky customer with a free trip to see VANILLA FUDGE with BLUE OYSTER CULT at The Theatre In Westbury in New York on February 6th, 2016!

In addition to the trip to see Vanilla Fudge, the winner will receive VIP Backstage Pass and a limited-edition Swag Bag to boot!

The rules are simple - go buy a copy of the new VANILLA FUDGE CD or LP for "Spirit of '67", take a selfie of yourself holding up the LP or CD and go to this link to upload your selfie and proof of purchase: http://flyt.it/winvanillafudgetickets

VANILLA FUDGE will be hosting the drawing on January 4th in New York City - winner will be contacted by the band shortly after the drawing.

Vanilla Fudge drummer Carmine Appice boldly declares Spirit Of ‘67 to be “the best album we’ve done since our very first album. Great vocal arrangements and instrumental performances from everyone in the band!” Founding member and lead vocalist and keyboardist Mark Stein agrees saying, “Spirit Of ’67 is a record that I’m proud of. The success of Vanilla Fudge has always been based on our interpretations of songs by great artists. Our style of classic & symphonic rock lives large on this effort, and the performances and arrangements I would hope will be enjoyed by both old and new fans alike.” To hear what these guys are raving about, check out the band’s piano heavy take on The Box Tops’ “The Letter” as well as the heaving, guitar fuzz version of Spencer Davis Group’s “Gimme Some Lovin’.” As founding guitarist Vinny Martell puts it, “Spirit Of ’67 is the continuation of the journey we began in the Summer of Love--psychedelic, rhythmically powerful arrangements and performances of happening tunes of that era colored by the insight and vision of who we are today.” Likewise, Sprit Of ’67 itself is both an album about a specific time period yet demonstrates the timelessness of truly great songs.

Gary Clark Jr.

POWNAL, VT (July 14, 2015) — Guitars, guitars, guitars! They’re the engines driving the hip shakin’, butt-quakin’ rock ‘n’ roll that will be reverberating through the green mountains of southern Vermont next month when THE FULL TILT BOOGIE music festival brings ZZ Top, Gary Clark Jr., Buddy Guy, Blackberry Smoke, the Marshall Tucker Band, Trigger Hippy (feat. Joan Osborne & Jackie Greene), the Wood Brothers, Albert Lee featuring Cindy Cashdollar, Girls Guns & Glory and so much more to the alternating main stages of the newly revived scenic festival grounds at Green Mountain Racetrack.

THE FULL TILT BOOGIE, an historic one-day, two-stage guitar extravaganza set for Aug. 22, is by far the biggest music festival to play this picturesque setting since it hosted over 30,000 music lovers for the Lollapalooza Music Festival almost two decades ago.

Tickets for THE FULL TILT BOOGIE are on sale NOW through Ticketmaster at $92.50. Free parking is included. Gates open 10 a.m. Complete information at www.greenmountainlive.com.

“THE FULL TILT BOOGIE features bands whose music meets at ‘the crossroads’ of Roadhouse Boogie, Southern Rock, Blue-eyed soul, Rockabilly and The Blues,” says promoter Tony Pallagrosi of UMT Presents, whose New Jersey concert company is aligning with Green Mountain Live! and TTM to produce the progressive, environment-friendly event. “This year’s inaugural festival features some incredible guitar-fueled artists. It’s gonna be 11 hours of some of the best hip shakIn’ music on the planet!”

Guitar fans won’t be able to resist the incendiary sounds and the serene surroundings that THE FULL TILT BOOGIE will deliver to the Pownal Valley, one of the most beautiful in all of Vermont.

And in another first, THE FULL TILT BOOGIE is using electric power generated by renewable resources. Hence the appropriately named Green Stage, which will be home to revered roots music troubadour Seth Walker; NJ Americana rockers Stolen Rhodes; high energy, “riffy” power trio Wild Adriatic; the Tangier Blues Band, led by world renowned rock photographer and music documentarian Danny Clinch; and local favorites T Bone Daddy.

Nestled between the Green Mountains of Vermont and the Taconic Mountains in New York, it’s home to scenic farms and villages and the perfect destination for weekend getaways. Situated quietly between Bennington, VT and Williamstown, MA, the town of Pownal is known as "The Gateway to Vermont," with a rich history that predates the Revolutionary War.

THE FULL TILT BOOGIE promises its own revolution, musically speaking. It’s sparking a music festival revival at Green Mountain Racetrack, the first of numerous music festivals being planned for the site in the spring, summer, and fall of 2016 and beyond. THE FULL TILT BOOGIE music festival offers convenient and spacious access with outstanding acoustics in a breathtaking setting.

After arriving through secure gates, attendees can spread out with plenty of room to see the stage, hear the music, and enjoy the festival’s wide array of top food truck vendors and beverage distillers from around New England. Green Mountain Racetrack offers easy access from across New England and the tri-state areas with a 45 minute drive from Albany and less than three hours from Boston, New York City, and Hartford. While there is plenty of parking available on site, attendees are encouraged to carpool, access the area via Peter Pan Bus Lines, or use the venue’s free bike storage. The Pownal area has many surrounding activities and is known for weekend getaways.

RYDE, a crowd-sourcing transportation company, has partnered with Green Mountain Live! to provide regional shuttle service to THE FULL TILT BOOGIE, enabling upscale motor coaches to shuttle fans to the festival grounds  from surrounding cities and states, and provide an economical, environmentally-friendly, and highly social alternative to single-car driving.

About Green Mountain Live!

Green Mountain Live! is the home of premier music festivals and special events that will be offered throughout the summer and fall in a bucolic, rural setting in Vermont, conveniently located to major cities in New England and New York. The music venue has a vibrant history as the home of the former Green Mountain Racetrack. Known as “The Feel Good Track,” families from around New England would travel hundreds of miles to enjoy horseracing in the midst of Vermont’s incredible natural beauty.

Progressive Rock Review: District 97 with John Wetton-One More Red Night

Release Date: 6^thOct 2014

Label: Cherry Red Records

Websites:  http://johnwetton.com/    http://www.district97.net/news/john-wetton

This is a very interesting release by the collaboration of District 97 and John Wetton, entitled One More Red Night (Live In Chicago). As the sub-title suggests, this is a live album and features songs from the King Crimson back catalogue, John Wetton being a member of the said band for the release of Larks Tongue In Aspic (1973), Starless and Bible Black (1974) and Red (1974), from whence all bar one track on this release originate. The sole exception to this era is the track, “21st Century Schizoid Man,” which hails from the King Crimson debut album, In The Court Of The Crimson King.

District 97 comprises 5 members, Leslie Hunt (lead/backing vocals), Rob Clearfield (keyboards/guitars), Jim Tashjian (guitar/backing vocals), Patrick Mulcahy (bass) and Jonathan Schang (drums/percussion) with John Wetton providing lead vocals as well.

The album One More Red Night is a 9 track release with a total running time of around 43 minutes. The longest track on offer is “Fallen Angel” at 5:47 minutes and the shortest is “Book of Saturday” at just over 3 minutes (3:07).

The opening track, “One More Red Nightmare” (4:41) starts with some applause and a voice stating “ we are going to do some King Crimson for you right now” and plunges into some heavy riffing guitar and pulsating, pounding drums. The vocals are far forward in the mix, but appear slightly strained at times and a little “flat” when harmonizing. Some good guitar passages drive the track along through its 4+ minutes and the track is a good opener without being outstanding. At this point, I just realized who the vocal style reminded me of, and that is the early Cream vocals, by the late Jack Bruce.

Track 2, “The Great Deceiver” (3:38) has a very similar style sound to the previous track, when the guitar and drums are thrashing away, but there are sections when the tempo switches. The vocals are shared on this track, giving different vocal shadings.

“Lament” (4:19) is a gentler strummed intro behind the clear vocals which again are switched between John and Leslie. Some excellent guitar and bass riffing backed by the two vocalists carry this song along. “The Night Watch” (5:31) has a spoken introduction before a longish instrumental section prior to the appearance of the vocals, just before the 2 minute mark. A true “story telling” style vocal almost struggles to get the lyrics into the spaces available. There are some more excellent guitar passages, but I found the vocals disappointing, the wah-wah vocalizations, which seemed at odds with the atmospheric music taking place.

Track 5, “Fallen Angel” (5:41) settles back into the superb guitar playing and powerful, driving drumming, but again the vocals aren’t up to scratch and hit very close to being discordant at times. Next up is the shortest track, “Book of Saturday” (3:07) which sits more into the gentler style with simple guitar runs behind the vocals. The attempts to harmonize with vocalizations through this track unfortunately fail to hit the mark. When “normal” vocals are in use, the track starts to come alive, but at only 3+ minutes, it can only hint at being a great track.

From the King Crimson debut album, “21st Century Schizoid Man” (5:25) is a fair cover of the original, and indeed is the only track that I recognize from the album. This reviewer is well aware of the impact King Crimson has had on the progressive music scene, but my fascination with the band tended only to last for the first couple of albums, In The Court Of The Crimson King and Wake of Poseidon.

“Starless” (4:47) has a spacey keyboard intro with great drums and then some gentle guitar string bending joins in. The vocals for once fit this track very well, although there is still the hint of straining from time to time.

The final track, “Easy Money” (5:27) certainly gets the crowd appreciation although the harmonies at the start are a bit rough sounding. The characteristic guitar and drums drive the track along with the keyboards providing a foundation behind everything.

One More Red Night is an album I think will appeal to fans of King Crimson who collect all releases related to the band, but as to the wider appeal of the album, I remain less confident. Sound-wise, as a live album, it certainly is a “good un” with clear sound throughout and regular readers of my reviews will be aware that I always approach live albums with a little apprehension. One More Red Night I would describe as an album I found okay, in that there were passages of excellent guitar/drums, but counterbalanced at times with slightly “iffy” vocals resulting in this album probably being an album I would be unlikely to revisit. As always however, this is a very personal view and I would suggest you give the album a listen and decide for yourself.

Progressive Rock Review: District 97 with John Wetton-One More Red Night

Release Date: 6^thOct 2014

Label: Cherry Red Records

Websites:  http://johnwetton.com/    http://www.district97.net/news/john-wetton

This is a very interesting release by the collaboration of District 97 and John Wetton, entitled One More Red Night (Live In Chicago). As the sub-title suggests, this is a live album and features songs from the King Crimson back catalogue, John Wetton being a member of the said band for the release of Larks Tongue In Aspic (1973), Starless and Bible Black (1974) and Red (1974), from whence all bar one track on this release originate. The sole exception to this era is the track, “21st Century Schizoid Man,” which hails from the King Crimson debut album, In The Court Of The Crimson King.

District 97 comprises 5 members, Leslie Hunt (lead/backing vocals), Rob Clearfield (keyboards/guitars), Jim Tashjian (guitar/backing vocals), Patrick Mulcahy (bass) and Jonathan Schang (drums/percussion) with John Wetton providing lead vocals as well.

The album One More Red Night is a 9 track release with a total running time of around 43 minutes. The longest track on offer is “Fallen Angel” at 5:47 minutes and the shortest is “Book of Saturday” at just over 3 minutes (3:07).

The opening track, “One More Red Nightmare” (4:41) starts with some applause and a voice stating “ we are going to do some King Crimson for you right now” and plunges into some heavy riffing guitar and pulsating, pounding drums. The vocals are far forward in the mix, but appear slightly strained at times and a little “flat” when harmonizing. Some good guitar passages drive the track along through its 4+ minutes and the track is a good opener without being outstanding. At this point, I just realized who the vocal style reminded me of, and that is the early Cream vocals, by the late Jack Bruce.

Track 2, “The Great Deceiver” (3:38) has a very similar style sound to the previous track, when the guitar and drums are thrashing away, but there are sections when the tempo switches. The vocals are shared on this track, giving different vocal shadings.

“Lament” (4:19) is a gentler strummed intro behind the clear vocals which again are switched between John and Leslie. Some excellent guitar and bass riffing backed by the two vocalists carry this song along. “The Night Watch” (5:31) has a spoken introduction before a longish instrumental section prior to the appearance of the vocals, just before the 2 minute mark. A true “story telling” style vocal almost struggles to get the lyrics into the spaces available. There are some more excellent guitar passages, but I found the vocals disappointing, the wah-wah vocalizations, which seemed at odds with the atmospheric music taking place.

Track 5, “Fallen Angel” (5:41) settles back into the superb guitar playing and powerful, driving drumming, but again the vocals aren’t up to scratch and hit very close to being discordant at times. Next up is the shortest track, “Book of Saturday” (3:07) which sits more into the gentler style with simple guitar runs behind the vocals. The attempts to harmonize with vocalizations through this track unfortunately fail to hit the mark. When “normal” vocals are in use, the track starts to come alive, but at only 3+ minutes, it can only hint at being a great track.

"One Size Fits All" 40th Anniversary Tour

Growing up in the Zappa family home, Dweezil Zappa marveled at his father's virtuoso skills as a composer and guitarist. After his father's passing he was inspired to do something to honor his father. Feeling as though there was a generational gap and a fair amount of public confusion as to what his father's music really was, Dweezil set about creating an opportunity for music fans to make a new discovery. Not satisfied with the generic journalistic descriptions that had been applied over the years or the accidental default association of "novelty act" he earned by way of the casual radio exposure of songs like "Don't Eat The Yellow Snow" and "Valley Girl," Dweezil Zappa decided it was time for a change. He wanted to expose core fans as well as a potential new generation of fans to his father's compositions in a way that would give them a balanced perspective of the totality of Frank Zappa's work. If Zappa Plays Zappa was to become a conduit for a new generation of people discovering Frank Zappa's music then Dweezil wanted to do his best so that very little could be lost in translation.Click HERE for more information and to purchase tickets!

DREAM THEATER to Release “Breaking the Fourth Wall” DVD on September 30

By Nikola Savić on August 21, 2014@ProgSphere

Grammy-nominated progressive metal titans–have announced the release of Breaking The Fourth Wall (Live From The Boston Opera House), a live Blu-Ray / DVD set of the band’s one-of-a-kind performance from the Boston Opera House on March 25, 2014. Produced by the band’s own John Petrucci, filmed and directed by Pierre and François Lamoureux, and mixed and mastered by Richard Chycki, Breaking The Fourth Wall (Live From The Boston Opera House) is over 2 hours in length, capturing the special evening, which featured guest performances from The Berklee College of Music Orchestra and Choir. Breaking The Fourth Wall (Live From The Boston Opera House) arrives September 30th.

The collection will be available in multiple configurations including Blu-Ray, a 2 DVD set, and a webstore deluxe exclusive Blu-Ray/3 CD set with poster, all currently available for pre-order via the Roadrunner Records webstore. Furthermore, Dream Theater have premiered a video of The Looking Glass (Live) taken from Breaking The Fourth Wall (Live From The Boston Opera House) which can be streamed on the band’s official YouTube Channel. All pre-orders for the webstore exclusive will receive an instant download The Looking Glass (Live).

Dream Theater’s John Petrucci commented on the special event saying, “In many ways, this was a huge homecoming for the band given the history of Dream Theater’s origins and ties with Berklee. With John and I both being alumni and Mike having been a professor at the college for 10 years, we saw the opportunity to perform together with the students of Berklee as a tremendous thrill and honor. We are extremely grateful for everyone’s hard work in making this special event a reality and to all who participated.” He continued, “All of the Berklee College instrumentalists and vocalists did an outstanding job that night and it was awesome to have one of its students, Eren Başbuğ orchestrate and conduct them live at the Opera House after having been a part of our latest studio release in the same capacity. Dream Theater has always had a great connection to the city of Boston and we knew that against the backdrop of the beautiful Opera House, this would end up being a historic stop on our Along For The Ride world tour and an evening most definitely worth capturing on video. Beautifully filmed and directed by Pierre Lamoureux and brilliantly mixed and mastered by Richard Chycki, this is in my opinion, a major highlight in our nearly 30 year career as a band. We are eagerly anticipating its release this fall and really hope that everyone enjoys it!”

This past year Dream Theater earned a second Grammy nomination for “Best Metal Performance” for the single The Enemy Inside from their current self-titled worldwide smash album (released September 24, 2013 on Roadrunner Records). Dream Theater made a spectacular debut this past fall, topping Billboard’s “Hard Rock Albums” chart while simultaneously entering at #7 on the overall Billboard 200. The extraordinary chart position marked the group’s third consecutive top 10 debut, and also saw Dream Theater making top 5 chart debuts in Japan, Germany, Italy, Canada, Argentina, Switzerland, Holland, and Finland, as well as top 10 debuts in Denmark, Austria, and Norway, with career high debuts in the United Kingdom and Australia. The band recently announced new tour dates which will see them bring their spectacular live show to South America, Asia and Australia later this fall.

ZZ TOP & JEFF BECK TO KICK OFF EXTENSIVE U.S. TOUR THIS WEEK

As final preparations have been completed for this month’s launch of the much-anticipated ZZ Top/Jeff Beck Tour, ZZ Top’s Billy F Gibbons met with Jeff Beck in Los Angeles for a photo session for the cover of the next issue of Guitar World Magazine. On hand to document the guitar slingers' summit was legendary British photographer Ross Halfin, who is seen here nailing down an intimate shot of the two guitar gods immersed in “fretful” conversation.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and mutual admirers ZZ Top and Jeff Beck who have almost a century’s worth of combined touring experience under their collective belts are less than one week away from embarking on their first ever tour together. The tour is formatted to offer a free-standing set from Jeff Beck, a free-standing set from ZZ Top and a joint performance wherein Beck joins ZZ Top for a rocking finale.

 On the heels of releasing Live At Montreux 2013 DVD/Blu-ray through Eagle Rock Entertainment and The Baddest of ZZ Top CD/2CD retrospective from Warner Bros., “that little ol’ band from Texas” will be cranking out classics such as “Sharp Dressed Man,” “Legs” and “Tush.” The lineup of Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard has been holding steady for over 44 years - an unprecedented feat in rock. 

 Jeff Beck’s touring band will consist of Grammy nominee and Flash-era vocalist Jimmy Hall (Wet Willie), bassist Rhonda Smith, drummer Jonathan Joseph, and guitarist Nicolas Meier.  

21-year-old Texas guitar prodigy Tyler Bryant has recently been announced as the opening act for the vast majority of the tour dates. Bryant already has experience as an opener for Jeff Beck, and also cut his teeth on bills with Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, BB King, Heart, Vince Gill, and many others.

 While ZZ Top and Jeff Beck have never toured together before, this is not the first live collaboration between the two camps. Billy Gibbons joined Beck and his band on stage at the 25^th anniversary celebration of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009 at Madison Square Garden, where they performed the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s “Foxey Lady” and ZZ Top’s hit “Rough Boy” together. The following year Beck joined ZZ Top in Lucca, Italy for an extended rendition of the band’s signature piece “La Grange.”

The excitement is brewing between the musicians. Jeff Beck proclaimed, “Ever since Eliminator I thought it would be great to play with ZZ Top.”

Likewise, Billy Gibbons, who has long viewed the English fret master as a musical role model going back to his days in the Yardbirds, has declared his admiration for the man behind the platinum selling albums Blow By Blow and Wired. “We could never figure out what Beck was doing on his instrument to get those sounds, and it was that mystery that inspired us to push our own sound to the next level.” Gibbons continues, “It is an honor to be sharing the stage with the curator of crunch.”
