DEFANICO, born in 1982 in Mexico City, developed an intuitive spirit for the arts at an early age. He began writing songs for piano during the fundamental stages of his youth, his composition oscillating between classical, all the way to rock, pop and electronic music.

He has been influenced by The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Queen, Bjork, Suede, Sasha, U2, Smashing Pumpkins, Pulp, Bob Marley, The Cure, OMD, Beck, New Order, Guns n’ Roses, INXS and classic masters like Beethoven and Mozart. DEFANICO has now entered the world of modern pop and alternative bands such as Radiohead.

2004 Sascha, Fabian and Steffen teamed up for Lost Reason. Falko joined them as the second man on the 6 string. Though there was metal, it still had no voice. In march 2006 Henning completed the cast. Time and gigs went by, the first recorded output “Fire Of Lunacy” left the walls of the little hut in Berstadt, where they used to practise. Learning their lessons in musician work, progress wasn’t stoppable, but inner differences lead the rest of the band to part ways with Henning.

Later in 2007 he was replaced by Yves who’s time is now being the voice of Lost Reason. Their second, more professionally output, is longing to break out. This one will be more melodic but still the Lost Reason kind of Death metal. The clown got his mask and we’re hungry to blast some ears.

Song Title: Black Sails In The Sunset

This band will bring you melodic, exciting and typical Wow Factor compositions where influences vary from seventies Rock, New Wave up to temporary Dance Music. Regulary they’ll hook up with Michiel Teijgeler alias MT-Yidaki who’s one of the best didgeridoo players. A full evening of Wow Factor on stage contains plugged as well as semi-unplugged songs.

The band combines a professional musical attitude with pure fun in making music. Everything new is exciting. Concentrating on developing their own style, they are inspired by lots of bands and musicians, among them Peter Gabriel, Muse, Faithless, Richard Hawley, Jeff Buckley, Calexico and lots lots more. A little British, a little American but most of all Dutch, Tukkerish to be precise.

Song Title: Dressed in Black

Cedar-N-Sage was formed by D Lorah in the late 80s in Southern California. They wrote and recorded Feeling Dangerous after performing a sold out show at the Roxy in Los Angeles. It is a collection of moody and melodic tunes they coined as Desert Rock and its the perfect soundtrack for late night driving down a desert or county road.

Vocalist D Lorah and guitarist found themselves in Northwest Arkansas with a new bass and keyboard player, Earl McCool. Being a three piece band, by no means keeps the sound small. Cedar-N-Sage has a unique way of beefing up their melodic rock sound using a drum machine, additional keyboards, guitars, harmonies and percussion. They not only write original songs but lend their unusual arrangements to a diverse group of covers, from the 60s to now. To support the album Feeling Dangerous, they have played in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas.

The new Cedar N Sage line up has been writing together for the last 15 years and are working on a new album Reflection Pool. A teaser song, What in the World is available for download on http://myspace.com/cedarnsage What in the World is also being played on the charity, Chernobyl Children’s International Project website. The song is also available there for download, and with the purchase price of 99 cents, this wonderful charity will get 70 of the download.

The Words are causing a stir on the Manchester scene with a combination of clever lyrics, incredible music and a desire to perform and improve. Creating music which gets you humming along after your first listen and leaving you with a sense of contentment you had previously never thought possible.

Drawing on influences ranging from Oasis and the Kings of Leon to The Beatles and Elvis & combining the spirit of Indie with the passion a Rock band should have and mixing in the melodic sounds of Motown, The Words have managed to create a style of music which excites and entertains but also hits hard in all the right places.
Song Title: My Silver Line

Genre: Alternative

A COLLECTION OF CIRCA 1930′S PERIODICALS DEDICATED TO ESSAYS ON NATIONAL DEPRESSION AND MASS EXHAUSTION.

The Dropzines’ singer/songwriter/guitarist, Shawn Stabley, has been composing and performing melody-intensive music since he was a teenager. From 1988 to 1991, Shawn wrote, sang and played bass for the NYC alternative rock group, The Dutch Provos.

In ‘91, Shawn, along with fellow Dutch Provos’ guitarist, Tim Archer, founded The Most Sordid Pies. The Pies, as they became referred to by fans, recorded their debut LP, “Grit & Sunshine,” along side producers John Siket (Sonic Youth, Phish, Yo La Tengo) and Kramer (Shimmy Disc Records), utilizing legendary rock recording facilities, Bearsville and Power Station Studios. The gritty, yet euphonious acuity of “Grit & Sunshine” would, without a doubt, have gotten The Pies their “just dessert” had its release not been suddenly halted by the bankruptcy of its label’s parent company, Power Station Records. Sadly, The Pies would not recover from the harsh turn of events, and “Grit & Sunshine” would never see its release date, as they disbanded in 1995.

Reverse Order is having the time of their life. They’re the 2008 and 2009 winners of The Break Battle of the Bands, the official contest for BAMBOOZLE. Both years they competed with over 300 bands to win a spot at the two day music festival called BAMBOOZLE held annually at the Meadowlands.

The judges enjoyed their stage performance and the way they got the crowd involved. They also commented that the band was, “tight and radio ready”.

If you attend a Reverse Order concert you can expect to see a high energy performance, synchronized jumps, guitar tricks, and a talented group of young rockers that have awesome personalities on and off the stage.
