Premier |
V Ent. Network reports: Cleveland-based art-metal
octet Mushroomhead will premiere their self-lensed video for "Kill Tomorrow"
on August 5 at 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time via their website, www.mushroomhead.com.
The clip will be available during a brief 30-minute to one-hour window,
and henceforth on DVD.
The super-creative, visually driven band
self-produced, shot, directed and edited the entire clip, which appears
on their landmark DVD release, "Volume 1" (slated for August 9 release
on the band's The Filthy Hands Company label). "Kill Tomorrow" marks the
first time Mushroomhead shot its own video - an event that, considering
the band's ultra hands-on approach on everything from their music to their
stage design to their business, was imminent. The track is from their most
recent full length release, "XIII" (Universal).[see full story for more]-

Boycott |
press release reports: Indie musician/recording
artist Robert Kramer says the recent statement about the Sony/BMG recording
industry payola settlement leaves many questions and issues unanswered,"saying
now's the time to keep the pressure on the radio stations and the advertisers
who buy time on the stations.
... Encouraging radio listeners, musicians
and indie labels to literally throw down the gauntlet to the recording
and radio industry, Kramer states the time to act is now.
"I say we should hit them where they live...organize
free concerts boycotting advertisers on radio stations that refuse to play
indie music..fans of indie music should write letters to radio stations
asking for local music programs, and should report stations who are non-responsive
to the FCC who refuse to play what the public is asking for..."
"Maybe it's time for the radio station
fatcats to trade in their Jaguars for a nice pre-owned Toyota, return the
airwaves to the public, and start programming the kind of music people
REALLY want to hear....to quote the late Frank Zappa, it's time to "KILL
UGLY RADIO"..once and for all..." [see full story for more]-
