Ahoora

Hi

We are Ahoora, an Iranian progressive thrash metal band. Our second
album ?All in Blood with You? came out September 2007 and just like
our self titled debut album, we've released it without the
governmental permission and for that anything could happen. (Of course
you know that metal is forbidden in Islamic Iran). We?re really
willing to be heard, and just wanted to know if there is any chance to
get noticed, here at your very best art shelter.

Waiting for your response.
Stay True

Music for review in TO

Hey there, we are a newly formed acoustic/drums duo looking to get our name out there to as many people as possible. Both myself and my drummer are experienced musicians with years of experience touring, recording and playing in other acts.

Our project is called Bedroom Biography and we should be releasing our first EP mid June... we would love to have some media support and reviews to accompany our debut release...

Have a listen to my solo music online to get an idea of our sound but please note that Bedroom Biography is a bit more up tempo than the solo recordings (think Sam Roberts meets Dave Mathews).

Our next show will be at CLINTONS located at Clinton St and Bloor... we are playing at 915 and if you would like to come and review the show I can put your name on a guest list to bypass the cover charge.

Thanks for your consideration,

FEB 2nd Event Press Release

February 2^nd.

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

"For more than ten years now, I've been hosting parties for young professionals in New York," Shapiro says.  "My parties have really built up a name for me there, which is great, of course, but I always wanted the chance to do something new, something different.  When the opportunity arose to host December's party in Toronto, I took that chance, and it turned out better than I ever imagined."

"Everyone asked us to come back and host another party in T.O.," Shapiro continues. "Since we love the city so much, it wasn't hard for us at all to take up the offer!"

 

Shapiro is bringing his party back to Fluid Lounge, a leader and trendsetter of the Toronto nightclub scene since its launch in 1995.  He has once again reserved a private back section exclusively for the guests of his party.

Co-hosting the Mid-Winter Bash will be famed Toronto nightclub "Scene Queen" Heather Cook from FAME:Us Productions.  Cook captured the attention of the nightlife industry in 2007, when she discovered that what had once been a weekly "club posse" had developed into a devoted and quickly expanding clientele.  "We had a great launch, but we're even more excited about this party, especially because we're joining forces with Heather," Shapiro says.  "She's the person everyone goes to when they need to know where the hottest parties are."

 

"Our launch party may be a tough act a follow, but I know we'll top it with the Mid-Winter Bash," Shapiro concludes.  "If you were at our launch, then you're going to come back, because you know you're going to have a great time.  And if you couldn't make the launch, then you're not going to want to get left out this time!"

RON HAWKINS celebrates release of 10th album

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (please mention in your concert listings!)

As one of the members of Canada's legendary indie band,
LOWEST OF THE LOW, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist
RON HAWKINS has enjoyed many accolades showered on that band
over the years. In 1996, 2000 and again in 2005, Chart Magazine
honoured the group's 1991 debut album, Shakespeare My Butt, with
spots in the top 10 of the Top 100 Canadian Albums of All Time alongside
Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and The Tragically Hip.

After a second Low album in 1994, the band parted ways and Hawkins
released a solo album and EP in the subsequent two years. Forming a
fast-
paced big band complete with a horn section, Hawkins released three
albums
with a new group THE RUSTY NAILS from 1997-2001, at which point the
call from the masses had to be heeded: the LOWEST OF THE LOW reunited
for a series of shows, a live album and a new studio album. Hawkins
started
tinkering on some of his own songs in the Low rehearsal space, playing
all the
parts and laying down tracks that would eventually become his 3rd solo
record, Chemical Sounds, being released January 19th, 2008, at the
Horseshoe.

Named in homage to the Toronto studio where the album was recorded,
Chemical Sounds is the last album ever recorded at the venerable
Chemical
Sound space, having since moved location and changed ownership.
Produced by Hawkins and Rudy Rempel, Chemical Sounds shows off
Hawkins' trademark range of style and emotion. He jotted down a list of
life
lessons for his baby daughter in "A Brief History," featuring the
in-utero heartbeat
of the as-yet-unborn Ruby B., to whom this album is dedicated.

"Sofa Star" is a punk-tinged rock track that tries to talk someone out
of
committing suicide, while other tunes bear a signature Hawkins social
commentary and that unmistakable, unduplicated voice. "Born To It"
shows that
he is just that, followed by the sure-fire hit "Anonymous," feathered
by strings and
piano showing a more mature and experienced man writing the songs now.
Don't worry, though - it still has a searing Hawkins electric guitar
solo in the middle of it!

Accompanying the new album will be an online diary for fans to hear the
genesis of each track, from the first chords to the demo to the final
version, under
the banner of Evolution Days, a section on <http://www.ronhawkins.com>
that
will be posted closer to the album's release date.

Since 2001, Hawkins has been working double-duty an artist, splitting
his time
between songwriting, performing, and making a living as a painter. He
sells
paintings all over the world from an artist collective web site that he
helped found,
called VictimlessCapitalism.com. Check out his samples posted there and
you'll find
some of Canada's rock who's-who, including great portraits like that of
Ian Blurton
who produced two of the Rusty Nails albums and the 2004 Low studio
album.
Hawkins is also currently in the studio producing fellow Low member
Steve Stanley's
next solo album, due out next year.

RON HAWKINS releases Chemical Sounds, his 10th album since 1991,
Saturday, January 19th, 2008 at the Horseshoe, 370 Queen St. West,
Toronto.
Doors open at 9:00 p.m., cover is $15 at the door.

To request a photo or set up an interview with Ron Hawkins, please
contact
Karen Pace at Pacemaker Productions (416) 918-6525

The Frode Gjerstad trio had their debut concert at the Nattjazz festival in Bergen, Norway in May 1999. Journalist Geir Dahle in Bergens Tidene wrote: "A possessing mind blow of music, a great kick!" Since then, the trio has toured in Scandinavia and played at festivals in Norway, Italy, Austria, U.S., and Canada, and have been highly acclaimed for their intense interaction, their high energy and their broad repertoire. The trios first CD "The Blessing Light" was released in spring 2001 by Cadence Records. Other releases are "Sharp Knives Cut Deeper" (with Peter Brötzmann) on Splasch, "Last First" on Falcata Galia, and "St.Louis" on FMR.

The trio's music has its roots in the free-jazz tradition, the way it was defined by Coleman, Mingus, Dolphy, and Coltrane. Although, the trio also takes inspiration from the European free scene.

Frode Gjerstad has for many years declared his enthusiasm towards small line-ups, and especially the trio. The trio line up gives space for the musicians, but is at the same time very dependent on the musicians' physics and musicality. Recently, he has worked in the duo format with, amongst others, Peter Brötzmann. With over 20 recordings as a leader, he has established himself as a major saxophonist on the international scene.

His trios have included Johnny Dyani, Kent Carter, John Stevens, William Parker and Rashied Bakr. In trio with William Parker and Hamid Drake, he toured the US in 2000. This is his first Norwegian trio.

Øyvind Storesund has emerged on the Norwegian scene as a bass player with extremely high energy and stamina. Taking inspiration from William Parker and Jamaaladeen Tacuma, and letting the two's styles work together, he represents a new generation of Norwegian bass players.

Paal Nilssen-Love is one of Norway's most active drummers, and has established himself as a powerful and a most dynamic musician, through regular collaborations with Mats Gustafsson (The Thing), Ken Vandermark (School Days), and Raoul Björkenheim, among others.

The Frode Gjerstad trio has toured extensively in Europe, USA, and Canada the fall 2002, including a European outing with Peter Brötzmann in the spring of 2003.
