| MALANNA, ''Blood & Spirit'' Coming Soon! |
|
malanna writes "
Check out MaLanna's soon to be released CD "Blood & Spirit". A new alternative music. She writes and sings about her real
life! MaLanna's influences range from Evanescence, Pat Benatar, Annie Lennox, and Sarah McLachlan. Also, MaLanna is writing a book about her life story and pursuing the art of drums. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee five years ago. Terry Lee Bolton has been recording and producing her new
CD. Her favorite quote is, "It usually comes down to who wins the battle that rages between the two of you. The 'you' who wants to take it easy and the 'you' who chooses to beat back what stands in the way of success- complacency!"

The first CD by Michigan band, The Weight is available now on Fools Gold Records. A flashback to good Rock and Roll, "The Weight" is sure to please any rock fan. Avilable now at
www.theweight.com
Note: Obviously a band of few words. The link they submitted to this site states; "The Weight was formed in an effort to keep the original spirit of Rock and Roll alive." They certainly have the look, the video is cool;
now all we have to do it hear them. How about some audio samples from the CD guys..."

| Alibi loses one of it's own |
|
TheRedhead writes "RIP: LARRY A. TAYLOR:
Born 8-8-53 Died 2-17-05
I got home today to find out that my favorite dancing bass player Larry "The Mole" Taylor from my main band Alibi had died today. Larry had moved back to Indiana to care for his mom who passed away in December.
Alibi did not do many gigs in the city being as they were based way up north, but earned the respect of those they did meet. So I'm asking you to raise a Diet Coke (one of Larry's regular drinks) or your own favorite and maybe play some Skynyrd or some old Kansas in his honor."

| WANDERJAHR CD Release Party |
|
Michaeljahr writes " 
Lansing Indie/Psychedelic rockers Wanderjahr will officially release their much anticipated new CD, “Is to Disappear”, on Friday, November 19th at The Temple Club in Old Town. They will perform live along with other local favorites Calliope and The Fuzz. The recording features 9 original songs produced and engineered by the band and friend Nathan Brown (synth player for The Fuzz), and was mastered by Glenn Brown. It will be available at the show as well as online and at Flat Black & Circular and
CD Warehouse in East Lansing. Check out www.WanderjahrMusic.com
to hear clips.
Though it’s not their first recording effort (they’ve been on the scene for 7 years or so) , the album is somewhat of a departure for the band, foregoing the ‘live in the studio’ approach for a more layered, atmospheric sound. “We wanted to shoot for a more detailed, ‘headphones’ kind of record with this one” says singer/guitarist/songwriter Mike Clauwaert, “...something you can explore as well as just listen to.”"
