After literally years of dealing with the Pledge Music situation where pledges were received on behalf of the Cowsills and then the whole Pledge Music group went bankrupt and disappeared with everyone's money we decided that we needed to resolve the situation once and for all so we discuss in this episode what actually happened with Pledge Music from the beginning through our attempt to right the situation, getting in over our head and learning the lesson that no matter how hard you try there are just some things you can't take on and try and fix no matter what your heart tells you

He's Bob Schneider, musician and songwriter extraordinaire. Learn how Bob writes songs, hones his craft and produces music of significance. He is an Austin, Texas–based musician and former lead singer of the rock band Ugly Americans. He has released around a dozen albums, mostly on his own Shockorama label. Lonelyland (2001) was licensed through Universal Records,while in 2005 distribution deal with Vanguard Records saw his albums made widely available.In 2009 he signed to Kirtland Records and put out Lovely Creatures, A Perfect Day, and Burden of Proof. His record The King Kong Suite was released on Shockorama Records in 2015.The son of an opera singer, he moved with his parents to Germany when he was two, while his father received instruction from noted vocal teachers. It led to a marginal existence as “my parents had this big plan, but my dad just didn't have the voice". He learned guitar and piano at an early age, and performed at his parents' parties. He studied art in college, while performing in his first band, a funk-rock outfit called Joe Rockhead. The band independently released three albums before disbanding. Schneider subsequently performed with Ugly Americans who were an opening act for the Dave Matthews Band and signed with the revived Capricorn Records.[8] In 1997, Schneider co-founded The Scabs, a funk ensemble that regularly played in around Austin and described as " inspired by The Rugburns (right down to the suits and ties) [with] bawdy show tunes and puerile blues in the beginning, but eventually the powerhouse funk took over when the Grooveline Horns were added".Career In 1999, Schneider formed a solo act, initially under the name Lonelyland, which became the title of his record released through Universal Records. His style has been described as "acoustic based songs with electronic beats and noises in the background and other types of cross genre music. His live shows are known for improvisation [and] audience involvement".[He went on to record the major-label solo albums Lonelyland (2001) and I'm Good Now (2004), which garnered him significantly more national attention and some critical acclaim. "Big Blue Sea" from the Lonelyland album received significant radio play, as did "Come With Me Tonight" from I'm Good Now. "Metal & Steel" from Lonelyland is, to date, Schneider's most played song.The contracts that he signed with Universal in 2001 and Vanguard in 2004 allowed him to release albums as "side projects" on his own Shockorama Records.Among the albums that have been self-released are Galaxy Kings and I've Seen The End of the World and It Looks Like This. All of these side projects were re-released by Vanguard in conjunction with the release of his 2006 album The Californian. Previously, these albums had limited availability as approximately 10,000 copies were produced. After releasing The Californian, Schneider also put out Greatest Hits Live, recorded in Austin on July 17, 2006, on Shockorama Records. He has a long-standing Monday night residency at the Saxon Pub and regularly plays at Antone's, both venues in Austin. His live-band includes Harmoni Kelley (bass), Jeff Plankenhorn (guitars), Conrad Choucroun (drums), Danny Levin (cello) and Oliver Steck (accordion) In 2009, Schneider signed with Kirtland Records and released Lovely Creatures in September 2009. It featured the single "40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet)", which peaked at #14 on the AAA Radio Chart. The album also featured Patty Griffin on the track "Changing Your Mind".He released a second album on the label entitled "A Perfect Day" on April 19, 2011, featuring the single "Let The Light In." "Burden of Proof" was released on June 11, 2013.His next musical project, King Kong, was released in 2015 under the Shockorama label and was the result of a crowdsourcing campaign through PledgeMusic. King Kong saw its release over the course of 2015 in the form of three EPs (volumes collectively known as The King Kong Suite) as well as a full-length album made available to his online backers.In 2017, Schneider began making his massive backlog of recorded demos available to his fans through Patreon. His next album Blood and Bones was released on June 8, 2018.On an episode of The Lone Star Plate podcast, Schneider said he turned down a part in the 2020 Netflix hit The Lost Husband because he didn't want to become an on-screen celebrity.

Writer and cultural critic William Deresiewicz, author of The Death of the Artist, talks about: His motivations in writing the book, largely motivated by dispelling the myth that this (our current internet/social media era) was the greatest time ever to be an artist, as well as trying to understand how artists (not just visual, artists across all fields- writing, music, film & television) were adapting to making art and surviving in an this world; why he strongly believes that not everyone can be an artist; how and why the monopoly on taste has been broken through a more middle-brow level of connoisseurship; how we can't dispense with the gatekeeper, whether it's the curator of artists or our listening playlists; artists' relative comfort (or discomfort) with using social media, which isn't as tied to age as you would think; the wide variety of day jobs that artists do (including a list of 50 jobs/gigs that Deresiewicz compiled), and the degrees of poverty artists live with; the delicate and complex dynamic of artists walking away from being artists (which is of course very hard to document); the artist Paul Rucker (perhaps the only artist profiled in the book whom I should have heard of) who's had a wide-ranging and remarkable career; the challenge of finding and working with the ‘typical' working artist- artists whose careers were coming up but not yet well known; and what a solid work-lifestyle balance looks like for one of the artists in the book, as well as for Deresiewicz himself.

Check out this interview on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CowsillFan WE'RE BACK!!!! Hi everyone we are back with live broadcasts, audio AND video now, and spent this episode catching everyone up on everything. Well not quite everything. One thing we wanted to mention for the umpteenth time but seemingly never enough is that Pledge Music pledgers will eventually receive everything they've ordered. If you just ordered the signed CD then those should be going out sometime in October (we have to sign 550 of them!!!!). If you ordered the CD and Vinyl album then you will receive your order when the Vinyl comes out (on Record Store Day which will be either April 15th or 21st). Orders will only be sent when items are available to fill an order. We can't be sending someone 3 items separately. We're doing this out of our good graces but we're not going to be tripling and quadrupling post office fees. Okay everyone new guests and new weekly episodes are coming now.

Are InMe an unsung band? Is Overgrown Eden a forgotten classic? Well…you can make up your own mind on that. Us? We've certainly made up our mind. In fact, we're not even going to bother playing coy with you here - we only did this episode because we were asked to do it for “the patter” by friend of the pod Craig B. He also paid us a handsome sum of money for the “privilege” and we really wish he hadn't. We also decided it was time to do this because we're “clearing the decks”, so to speak, of our old Patreon tiers before we move to the new Unsung Record Club. Check out how cool this is - we'll be shipping records soon! Anyway, if you're a fan of the band InMe, you might want to skip this episode. Have the fans left yet? Good. First thing's first - we've heard that they're all nice guys. In fact we've heard that lead singer/only remaining original member Dave McPherson is a very nice guy. That's awesome. You love to see it. But we're sorry Dave…we just didn't like any of your music. On this episode we canter through all 7 of their albums before returning to Overgrown Eden and giving it a good once over. We also talk about nostalgia festivals and bands that probably should have stopped years ago but are somehow still going. Alongside this, we discuss the finer points of why bands suddenly seem to disappear after being on the cusp of fame, and dive into how the now defunct PledgeMusic (and other crowdfunding platforms) were something of a panacea for bands with small but fervent fan bases. There's no vote this week. We've taken the power away from you on this one. We don't want this in our discography. Next week - a surprise! You can still sign up to our new Patreon Record Club! Find out more about it below!

Jim and Mike Interview KELLY OGDEN from the Punk Band THE DOLLYROTS!   Jim has been a fan of the band since 2007 when they released their cover of "brand new key". We had a lot of fun talking to Kelly about the new album (Down the Rabbit Hole), her acting debut on CSI, playing with Bowling for Soup, being signed to blackheart records, traveling with kids, Rabbits, Todd Rundgren on a train ... and more! *********** ABOUT THE DOLLYROTS: The Dollyrots are a Los Angeles, California based pop punk band made up of Kelly Ogden (vocals/bass) and Luis Cabezas (guitar/vocals). Since their formation 18 years ago the husband and wife duo has played over a thousand shows in the US and Europe, shared the stage with many of their idols, and released six studio albums along with several EPs, singles, splits, and a live concert film. Their last 3 albums have peaked in the Top 20 of the Billboard Heatseeker's chart, earning heavy rotation on Sirius/XM radio and followed releases on Lookout Records & Joan Jett's Blackheart Records.  What started as a hobby for New College of Florida students (and childhood friends) Kelly Ogden (bass/vocals) and Luis Cabezas (guitar) became a career when Ogden and Cabezas decided to make their band, The Dollyrots, a full-time gig in 2001. The duo set off on a road trip to find a new home for the group and settled in Los Angeles in 2002; once there, the pair set about honing a pop-punk sound inspired by the Ramones, the Pixies, the Sex Pistols, Nirvana, and Green Day. Two years later, the band signed with Lookout!/Panic Button Records and released Eat My Heart Out. Following release of their debut the band appeared onscreen on CSI:NY performing two songs off the album. While playing the Vans Warped Tour in 2006 the band members met Joan Jett, who was so taken by the Dollyrots that she offered them a spot on her Blackheart Records label roster after hearing demos of their upcoming LP. The Dollyrots' second album Because I'm Awesome debuted on Blackheart in 2007. The album spawned several singles that made an impact on radio and appeared on film/TV (Easy A, Brave, The Vampire Diaries, Greek, Reaper.) A year later they recorded a version of Jett's song “Bad Reputation” for the soundtrack to the film Endless Bummer, followed up three years later with the slickly produced A Little Messed Up. The first single off this effort, “California Beach Boy”, was featured with a live performance by the band on The Price Is Right. The Dollyrots left Blackheart after that, releasing an EP on their own Arrested Youth label. For their next project, the group turned to crowd-funding site Kickstarter, launching a wildly successful campaign that yielded 2012's The Dollyrots. Working again with co-producer John Fields, the independently released set featured Ogden and Cabezas firmly in charge for the first time in their career as they played all the instruments (save for a few parts done by producer Fields) and had final say over all facets of the process. By this point the Dollyrots had gone through a number of different drummers and generally operated as duo with guest musicians in the studio and on their various tours. Their 2014 release, Barefoot and Pregnant, was recorded during Ogden's pregnancy and was subsequently followed by the birth of the couple's first child. The album fared well critically and reached number seven on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. The all-acoustic Love Songs, Werewolves, and Zombies was released digitally in 2013 to the band's PledgeMusic supporters, and received a public release the following year. The Dollyrots continued to successfully fund their projects via crowd-funding and in 2016, they released their first concert album, the ambitious, double-disc/DVD set Family Vacation: Live in Los Angeles. That same year also saw the release of the three-song EP Mama's Gonna Knock You Out. The end of the year saw them working on two new projects, another kid and their next album. The couple's baby girl was born in November and the John Fields-produced Whiplash Splash was released in early 2017. This was followed by a 7-inch single Get Radical, released on Little Steven Van Zandt's Wicked Cool Records. The band most recently released their album of B-Sides, Rarities and Covers entitled "DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE"   Be sure to visit their website at : www.thedollyrots.com for a ton of cool, unique items (we mention some in the interview) Jim and Mike Talk Music can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.   You can also view a portion of the video interview with Kelly on YouTube (search Jim and MIke Talk Music to find our channel) ******** COPYRIGHT CLAIM: The songs "Just Like All The Rest", "Mermaid", "I Know How To Party", and "Jackie Chan" used with permission from Kelly Ogden. ******** Thank you for listening!

For part 3 of the Early Years, we resume the narrative in early 2012.  Pat Bailey had left Night Demon to return to school. At that time, Night Demon welcomed drummer John Crerar from The Fucking Wrath into the fold. Crerar brought extreme enthusiasm and energy to the band, despite being from a punk background more than a metal background. Meanwhile in 2012, Night Demon was very much a side project as the members focused on their main bands.  Jarvis was busy with Jeff Hershey and the Heartbeats, while Dusty and Armand were firing on all cylinders with New Liberty.  The concept of a VenAustin tour was launched, with four bands - including Jeff Hershey and the Heartbeats, New Liberty, Aaron Orbit, and 8Stops7 - playing shows on the way to and from South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.  You will hear tour stories and anecdotes from the tour and associated fundraisers.  By the end of the VenAustin tour, Jarvis returned to Ventura ready to resume Night Demon activities once again. Become a subscriber today at nighdemon.net/subscriber.

In this episode, Mark Baratto sits down with singer-songwriter Shelly Fairchild. We talk about how her career began, how leaving her label for another was the best thing for her career, how being true to yourself is the only way to be... and of course, Dolly Parton. More on Shelly Shelly Fairchild isn't new to the industry – but she's far from old news. A staple in the Nashville music community, Fairchild hit the scene to much acclaim with her Columbia Records debut album Ride. The project introduced the young artist's soulful, gospel-tinged brand of alternative country and spawned a Top 40 hit with “You Don't Lie Here Anymore.” She toured with some of the biggest names in the format, including Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban and Tim McGraw, and began to dig her roots in the industry. She again found success in her second release, Ruby's Money, which came steeped in a thick groove with elements of funk – but it was Buffalo, her crowd-funded 2017 release, that marks a milestone in her life and career.  “I'm sincerely grateful for both the good and bad things that have happened in my life. Everyone that I've met and worked with over the 20 years that I've lived in Nashville has made me who I am, and I will always carry that in my soul,” says Fairchild.  The Jackson, Miss. native started the project in May 2014, launching a PledgeMusic campaign in the hopes that she would find support of her endeavor – and after reaching her goal in just two days, she realized she had. Fairchild's 3rd full length studio record was fully funded and buoyed by the faith of her friends, family and fans.   The next two years saw Fairchild working with some of her most inspirational industry co-writers. “House on Fire,” an aching ballad reflecting on the weight of one's past, was the first song that she remembers finishing and feeling confident that it deserved a spot on her record. Co-written by Fairchild along with Lisa Carver and Travis Meadows, the track features subtle but classic country instrumentation and the soft harmonies of one of her favorite bands, the Fairground Saints.  From there the singer/songwriter continued to pen songs that she felt carried an important message to either herself or the world around her.  Guided by Jeremy Lister and Carey Ott, Fairchild recorded eight of her co-written tracks for the record that would become known to her fans as 'Buffalo'.  Though she tackled some serious topics in her writing, Fairchild felt extremely uplifted by her own work and that of others.  “I love singers and songwriters,” she smiles.  I love to have camaraderie and deep friendships with great singers and musicians. I feel like our community in Nashville is so rich and some of my favorite voices are my friends. I am so fortunate to have worked with so many great artists on Buffalo like Wendy Moten, Lucie Silvas, K.S. Rhoads, Fairground Saints, and of course Carey & Jeremy. My heart felt like it was going to explode by the end of the recording process." Not only does Buffalo emphasize its diversity by featuring guest vocalists, but it also highlights a wide array of musical styles and influences.  “There are a lot of different elements to the music that I make,” says Fairchild. “How do you describe some of the best bands that you know? They ended up on pop radio or on country radio, but are they really that kind of act? I have so many influences and I love having them show up in my songs. It feels like that kind of music lasts longer, because it feels real.”  As for the name of her last full length album to date, Fairchild says, "In many Native American cultures, the buffalo is a symbol of gratitude and abundance. I am from Choctaw ancestry and I completely connect with the idea that though buffalo carry a lot on their shoulders, their horns are always pointing up to the sky. There's always this hope that the weight will be lifted." A longtime hidden gem in the trove of Nashville musicians, Fairchild continues to keep her head and her heart pointing up to the sky. Between singing background vocals for the likes of Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Martina McBride, Crystal Gayle (to name a few), appearing as a regular on The Grand Ole Opry, writing songs for film and television, touring across the country and continuously working on future projects, it is clear she is just getting started.  “At times I've gotten down about my own path, but when I really take a good look at it – it's not just full of detours and dead ends,” she said. “It's a wide path, and it's full of so many spontaneous and amazing things.” Website: https://shellyfairchild.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/shellyfairchild   Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/shellyfairchild   Twitter: https://twitter.com/shellyfairchild   Spotify: https://t.co/jL6dASNf9Q   Apple Music: https://t.co/xcXLf9bWbH   Amazon Music: https://t.co/KJvcqg6WCY

Ambition Is Critical. On April 4th 2011, The Blackout released their crowd funded, critically acclaimed and emotionally cherished record, 'Hope, that lead to arguably their most successful period as a band. As this weekend marks it's tenth year anniversary, we invited Sappenin' Podcast favourites, Gavin Butler, James 'Bob' Davies and producing royalty, Jason Perry (A, McFly, Kids In Glass Houses), to celebrate it's legacy, reminisce and uncover some ridiculous secrets from an important era to those involved, along with a fans (Morgan) prospective, for Episode 123. In this conversation, not only do all five of us give our own insights into Hope, but dive into the stories behind the songs, memories of getting it funded with their fans through Pledge Music, all the wacky rewards they offered, silly studio adventures, unexpected guest features, almost meeting George Michael, fan tattoos, all the amazing things 2011 brought the band, beautiful tour memories and a cheeky question about a possible reunion.

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Avalanch, es un grupo español de heavy metal, formado en 1993 por el guitarrista Alberto Rionda, y procedente de Asturias. En un principio, sus tres primeros álbumes tenían un estilo power metal, con letras sobre temas épicos y mitológicos, aunque después de la expulsión de su vocalista Víctor García y la incorporación de Ramón Lage orientaron su estilo a algo similar al metal progresivo, heavy metal tradicional y una temática letrística más profunda. En 2012 anuncian un parón indefinido a partir del 6 de septiembre, fecha de su último concierto programado, teloneando a Scorpions en México. En diciembre de 2016, Alberto Rionda, anuncia su intención de retomar la banda para celebrar el aniversario del disco El Ángel Caído, aunque con una formación completamente nueva. Actualmente, la banda está conformada por Rionda y Jorge Salán a las guitarras, Manuel Ramil a los teclados, Dirk Schlächter al bajo, Mike Terrana a la batería y Alirio Netto a la voz. La banda asturiana Avalanch lleva una larga trayectoria combinando el heavy metal en español de sus inicios con un rock más moderno incorporando a su música elementos de hard rock y folk. Sus discos se editan en varios países europeos y americanos, y realizan habitualmente giras por fuera de España, principalmente por Hispanoamérica. La historia de Avalanch comienza en 1993, cuando Alberto Rionda, Francisco Fidalgo y Víctor García forman una banda a la que se unirán Alberto Ardines y Juan Lozano, que también buscaban miembros para una nueva banda. El nombre escogido fue Avalanch, nombre con el cual Ardines y Lozano ya habían grabado en 1988 junto a dos compañeros un disco titulado Ready to the Glory. Alberto Rionda, asumirá desde el inicio las labores de compositor, guitarrista principal y productor musical de Avalanch. Tras varios cambios internos en la banda, lanzan en 1997 su primer disco profesional, La llama eterna, grabado en Bunker Estudios, estudio de Posada de Llanera (Asturias) que más tarde acabaría dirigiendo Alberto Rionda. Con este disco, Avalanch provoca un gran impacto en la escena heavy metal española. No tardaría en aparecer la versión en inglés del disco, Eternal Flame, y en algunos países como Italia o Japón se editaron ediciones de ese trabajo en inglés y español. Mediada la gira de este disco, Avalanch decide prescindir de su vocalista (Juan Lozano) y contacta con Víctor García para que se una a ellos, comenzando en Barcelona. Es entonces cuando entran en el estudio para grabar Llanto de un héroe, un disco en el que el power metal, combinado con tintes de música clásica, era la nota predominante, y que les hizo girar por toda España. De esa gira surgió Días de gloria, un directo que ponía de manifiesto el momento que vivía la banda, e incluía una versión en estudio de Queen, "Save Me", que se editó como sencillo. En 2001 se edita el disco más vendido de la banda hasta la fecha, El ángel caído, un disco que gira en torno a temas bíblicos, con una ambientación más épica y evocadora. En este disco colabora Leo Jiménez, Ex-037, Stravaganzza y Ex-Saratoga en el tema "Las ruinas del Edén (Acto II), en el papel de "hombre". Finalizada la gira de presentación, el baterista Alberto Ardines y el cantante Víctor García, son llamados a abandonar el grupo, debido a la formación paralela de una banda llamada WarCry. Ramón Lage, ex-Paco Jones, (quien ya había participado con la banda haciendo coros en anteriores álbumes) toma el testigo a las voces, y el baterista sería Marco Álvarez, procedente de Stormy Mondays y anteriormente La Destilería. Realizan una gira europea en 2002 y son el único grupo español en tocar en el Wacken Open Air de ese año, celebrado en Alemania. Una vez en España, más cambios en el seno de la banda: el teclista Iván Blanco y el guitarrista Roberto García abandonan la formación y son sustituidos por el guitarrista Dany León (de larga trayectoria en bandas como La Destilería, Fe de Ratas y muchas otras) y el teclista Roberto Junquera (proveniente de la escena folk asturiana), que en 2008 abandonaría la banda. En 2003, Avalanch edita su cuarto disco de estudio, Los poetas han muerto, donde dejan un poco al lado los temás épicos y rápidos para hacer un rock más personal, que incorpora influencias no estrictamente metálicas. Bastante polémico a su salida, cuenta con la participación en el tema "Del cielo a la tierra" del brasileño Andre Matos, famoso por su participación en Angra y Shaaman, Santi Fano (vocalista de Angeldark) como la voz del mal en "Niño" y del artista marroquí Jbara en "Madre Tierra". Ese mismo año, Avalanch se embarca en su primera gira por Iberoamérica, que recorre Brasil, Chile, México, Guatemala, Colombia y Ecuador. Reciben tres Premios Radial 2004 (Mejor guitarrista, mejor portada y mejor tema por "Niño"). Hacia finales de 2004, una vez finalizada la gira de Los poetas han muerto, la banda publica una colección de sus mejores canciones interpretadas por la formación actual en un disco titulado Las ruinas del Edén, con el que realizarán una de sus giras más extensas. En 2005 vería la luz el DVD en directo Cien Veces, con un concierto de la banda en su Asturias natal. Se publica también Mother Earth, la versión inglesa del disco Los poetas han muerto en la que se incluye una versión del clásico de U2, "Where the streets have no name". Se repite la colaboración de Andre Matos en el tema que le da título. También en este año, sale al mercado El hijo pródigo, el disco más heterogéneo de su carrera; con el que la banda realiza una gira por España, México y Estados Unidos. A finales del 2005, sale a la venta el recopilatorio Un paso más, que contiene una selección de grandes éxitos de Avalanch y dos canciones inéditas: La nana asturiana "Agora non", y una balada basada en el cuento de Oscar Wilde "El príncipe feliz", que es la versión con letra de "Volviendo a Casa", canción instrumental que cerraba la edición especial de El hijo pródigo. En 2006, Avalanch obtiene 4 galardones en los premios AMAS de la música asturiana; (mejor cantante, mejor guitarrista, mejor videoclip ("Alas de Cristal") y mejor disco de rock), y resulta ser la banda con más número de trofeos conseguidos. En octubre de 2006 publican un DVD con su actuación en el festival Viña Rock, editado por Santo Grial y cuyo título es Lágrimas Negras. Tras haber lanzado el 5 de noviembre de 2007 su disco de estudio Muerte y Vida, en enero de 2008, el teclista Roberto Junquera anuncia su marcha temporal de la banda por causas personales, dando su último concierto en la sala Bilborock de Bilbao el 12 de enero. Es sustituido para tocar en directo en la gira por el reputado Mario Fueyo, también conocido como "Dark la Eme", músico todoterreno habituado al rap pero que ejecuta sin dificultades jazz, rock y metal, entre otros estilos. La gira continúa interpretando los nuevos temas y rescatando algunos antiguos, dando recitales por toda España. Como colofón a la misma, graban el 12 de julio de 2008, aprovechando su actuación en la Semana Negra de Gijón, libro de 28 páginas con 2 CD y 1 DVD Caminar sobre el agua, que salió a la venta el 25 de noviembre de 2008. En enero de 2009 comienzan una nueva gira en la que cuentan con el apoyo de Sol Música, que emite un videoclip exclusivo para promocionar los conciertos combinando imágenes del disco en directo y del videoclip de "Alas de Cristal". Durante la gira se incorpora, como sustituto ocasional de Mario Fueyo, Chez García, quien ya había colaborado en el DVD directo aportando un segundo teclado a "Niño" y "Papel roto". Cara a la grabación del siguiente disco, Chez acabará por ser el teclista definitivo de la banda, sustituyendo oficialmente a Roberto Junquera. A mediados de 2009 se anuncia el inicio de la grabación de su séptimo álbum de estudio, en un principio proyectado para finales del mismo año pero que por algunos problemas personales de Alberto Rionda como por los retrasos en la grabación del primer disco de Geysser, producido por el mismo Rionda y en el que Ramón Lage participa como vocalista, ve postergada su salida hasta abril del 2010. Es entonces cuando junto a la salida del disco, titulado El ladrón de sueños, comienza la nueva gira, que les llevará tanto por todo España como a dar en verano conciertos en Colombia, Cuba y Ecuador tras 4 años sin tocar en Hispanoamérica. A finales de 2011, Avalanch anuncia un nuevo proyecto titulado "Malefic Time - Apocalypse", y en su web oficial pusieron una cuenta atrás para estrenar la nueva versión de la web. El día en que se abrió, se anunció lo que realmente sería. Avalanch se encargaría de poner, con su música, la banda sonora de un cómic homónimo creado por Luis Royo y su hijo Rómulo Royo, que formaría parte de una saga de varios cómics. Sin embargo, el estilo de la música de Avalanch da un giro con respecto a lo que habían hecho en discos anteriores, y esta vez se encamina más hacia el power metal y el death metal. Aun así, la diferencia más notable es que el disco está cantado íntegramente en inglés. El disco salió a la venta el 5 de diciembre de 2011 en dos ediciones: el disco individual y una edición de lujo con el cómic de los hermanos Royo y fotos exclusivas. Además de todo esto, han anunciado una gira de presentación durante el 2012. El 29 de agosto de 2012, la banda anuncia, por medio de un comunicado en su web, un parón indefinido. El 29 de noviembre de 2016 en la web rafabasa.com se anunció que Alberto Rionda regresaría con el nombre de Avalanch y la intención de realizar una gira conmemorando el 15 aniversario de El ángel caído, con una formación de la que solo se anunció en ese momento a Israel Ramos, compañero de Rionda en Alquimia, a la voz. El 1° de diciembre la web del grupo volvió a estar activa, ​ y el 10 de diciembre se confirma el resto de la formación de la banda: el baterista Mike Terrana, el bajista Magnus Rosen (ex-HammerFall), el guitarrista Jorge Salán y el tecladista José Paz. Así mismo, el nuevo logo añade un subtítulo al nombre de la banda, quedando como "Avalanch All Star Band" Como parte de la conmemoración de El ángel caído, Rionda anunció una regrabación del LP con la nueva formación de la banda, la cual se puso a financiamiento de los fanes por medio de la plataforma PledgeMusic. La meta de la campaña se logró antes de dos meses de lanzada, y a sus colaboradores se les puso a disposición la descarga digital del disco el 16 de mayo. El primer concierto de la nueva gira ocurrió el 29 de abril en el festival Viñarock 2017 en Albacete. ​ El 17 de junio se realizó un concierto en la sala La Riviera, en Madrid, el cual contó con diversos invitados del metal español y fue grabado para su lanzamiento en vídeo, Entre los invitados se contó con el primer vocalista de la banda, Juan Lozano, siendo el único exmiembro en aparecer en ese concierto luego de la invitación pública que Rionda había hecho a todos sus ex-compañeros, Miembros de la formación de Avalanch del 2012 anunciaron que no participarían en ninguna actividad de la nueva formación; ​ de manera aparte, Víctor García, vocalista que grabó El Ángel Caído, se deslindó de cualquier actividad relacionada con Avalanch, aunque posteriormente declaró que "la puerta abierta siempre está". Alberto Rionda anunció su intención de que esta etapa de la banda continúe más allá del homenaje a El Ángel Caído. El 26 de junio de 2017 se anuncia la salida del tecladista José Paz. Su reemplazo es Manuel Ramil (ex-Warcry, Sauze). El 18 de mayo de 2018 salió "Hacia La Luz", un DVD grabado el 17 de junio de 2017 en la sala La Riviera, Madrid. En él participan invitados de la talla de Leo Jiménez, Juan Lozano, Edu Falaschi, Carmen "Xina", José Carlos Molina, Richard de la Uz, Gonzalo Moldes, Jorge Rodríguez y bandas como Débler, Zenobia, Tierra Santa, Mägo de Oz y Saratoga. En junio de 2018 comenzó la grabación del nuevo disco de la banda. Poco después, el 3 de octubre, Avalanch anunció que el bajista Magnus Rosen deja la banda, El 23 de octubre se anunció que Dirk Schlachter, de la banda Gamma Ray, se une a Avalanch reemplazando a Rosen.

Senser special with Heitham Al-Sayed in conversation with David Eastaugh In 1993, Senser released two indie singles on Ultimate – "Eject" and "The Key". In March 1994, Senser released their third single, "Switch", which entered the UK Singles Chart at number 39. Senser's first album, Stacked Up, was released in May 1994, and entered the UK Albums Chart at number 4. At the beginning of 1995, Senser toured the UK supported by Skunk Anansie before setting off to tour the United States with Moby. It was during this tour that the band decided to split over musical differences. Al-Sayed and Morgan left to form a new band with Haggis called Lodestar. The remaining members of Senser found a new drummer, Paul Soden, and set about writing Senser's second album. During the spring of 1997, they recorded the second album. And in the summer of 1997 De-Senser released "Om". In the summer of 1998, Haigh was able to tour and the band released the second album, Asylum. Once again musical differences became apparent and in February 1999 the band decided to split. In 2003, the original lineup reunited originally to perform at one show, but decided to re-form and record again. They released their third studio album SCHEMAtic in 2004. A concert performance was released in 2006 as Live At The Underworld. In 2009, they released How To Do Battle. In 2013, they released their fifth album To the Capsules via Pledgemusic and toured with Erika Footman on vocals in place of Kerstin Haigh. In 2014, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut Stacked Up, the band re-released the album in expanded edition with a remastered version of the original tracks on the first CD, and bonus tracks from the era (remixes and previously unreleased songs) on the second disc.

Hello welcome to episode 10!! Our guest this week are the delightful "The Lounge Kittens" who talk in depth about their time with Pledge Music and playing tribute in their live shows to fallen heroes who have died by suicide. We also talk about some of their highlight of being in a band that can play Edinburgh Festival and the main stage at Sonisphere as well as playing nights at a SOLD OUT Wembley Arena. As always we big up our sponsors Fireball UK who have been with us since day one of this podcast.

In this episode we're talking to someone very special, who's done many things. Always looking ahead and always thinking outside the box. His name is Benji Rogers and he is the founder of Pledge Music, a board member of SAE - the renowned school for all thing music & video -, a serial investor and advisor in many music and tech companies, and the founder of the Dot Blockchain Music project! Benji was so kind to take the time to speak to us at Ludlow House in New York. The Dot Blockchain Music project is the attempt to create a global decentralized database for music rights, in the blockchain. I know that sounds very technical! But firstly, we all know how important trackable music rights are to make sure that artists get paid fairly; And Benji has good analogies to explain what the blockchain does. But on top of that, we also speak about the industry more generally and he tells about his approach to using platforms like Facebook to interact with fans - what he recommends you do and what you shouldn't. Please note that this interview was recorded a few month' back, so you might have heard that Benji has now left this company. But nothing we talk about has lost its relevancy. The DotBlockchainMusic project is something that feels like it should already have been created ages ago, because it's just fair to artist. Well it hasn't and Benji took on the task. I think he's a very inspiring person for all of us, challenging the status quo, and utilising the newest technologies to do so.

Voices In My Head Podcast Episode #282   : Meet John TibbsOur featured guest this week on Voices In My Head is musician John Tibbs.In 2016, John released his debut full-length, Dead Man Walking, to great critical acclaim. Reviewers said about the album, “with shades of Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp and Creedence Clearwater Revival, the heartland rock Tibbs traffics in is just right for the weightier, darker side of the redemption story.”  Following the success of his 2016 debut record which garnered a Top-20 AC (Christian) single and a Dove Award nomination in the Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year category, John partnered with ToneTree and Bethel/Heritage Media to release his follow up, Heartland, crowd-funded through his online community via PledgeMusic to continued great critical acclaim. "Unabashed Midwesterner John Tibbs has released more authentic, epic and quality tunes in his short run as a professional songwriter than many artists will produce in a lifetime. Heartland brims with the kind of honest rock and roll that the late, great Tom Petty trafficked in, with the 'heart-on-his-sleeve' craftsmanship that creates an immediate bond with the listener on the first pass." — Jesus Freak Hideout"With the Heartland EP, John Tibbs combines thought-provoking lyrics with his rock roots style. The captivating sonic landscape will keep listeners entertained song after song, indicating good things to come from Tibbs in the future.” — New Release TodayBlessings,Rick Lee Jameswww.RickLeeJames.com  This is a public episode.

VHX posted a case study called "Stripped and the Power of Bonus Content."

LOTL RADIO WELCOMES LARRY DODSON & JAMES ALEXANDER OF THE BAR-KAYS DEBUTING THERE NEW HIT SINGLE "GROWN FOLKS "the first single, features highly sought after hip-hop producer, and son of James Alexander, Jazze Pha. J   The Bar-Kays' are currently working on their 30th album. “Grown Folks,” the first single, features highly sought after hip-hop producer, and son of James Alexander, Jazze Pha. Just as the Bar-Kays have always been able inject their sound with the style of the day, they are using the technology of the day to fund their forthcoming album. A Pledge Music campaign was a launched in August and campaign incentives include Bar-Kays memorabilia, performance opportunities, and even a chance to name the album. Throughout their career the Bar-Kays have always taken time to give back to the community, whether through performing for US Troops in Kuwait and Iraq or volunteering with students at the Stax Music Academy. They've had many tragedies and triumphs, and many lesser acts would have called it quits after that fateful plane crash. “Believe it or not, even though we were youngsters, we had wisdom beyond our years. As 17 and 18 year olds, we all agreed that if something happened to any of us, whoever remained would carry on the band.  I made a promise and kept it,” James Alexander says; “And the legend continues” says Larry Dodson.
