Dennen Sets Release |
press release reports: Songwriter Brett Dennen
is set to release his self-titled album on July 12th. The album was originally
released with limited online distribution last year on the Southern California-based
Three Angels and a Saint Label, but will now enjoy national exposure via
the FLAGSHIP Recordings label and distribution via the new independent
UMVD arm, Fontana Distribution. "He's the unsigned artist of the year.
Rarely does music come along so unadorned, so pure in spirit, and so eloquently
written. 'Desert Sunrise' generated more phone calls than anything I've
played all year." - KCRW DJ Chris Douridas Dennen will tour heavily in
support of his forthcoming album and is confirmed to play at this year's
BONNAROO Festival in June. See the full story link to check out the song

| The
Prime Minsters Debut |
press release reports: The Prime Minsters,
a four piece band from San Diego, CA, will release their self-titled debut
CD on July 1st, 2005. Their music ranges from bold rock and roll, to sultry,
soulful rhythm and blues, and of course, funk. But with respect to their
mentors, Frank Zappa, The Meters, Tower of Power, Prince, Freddie King,
Funkadelic, Michael Franti and Spearhead, they are constantly drawn back
to their roots. Words like 'soulful', 'rockin', 'solid music with a backdoor
of groovin funk' come to mind, and let's not forget that you'd have to
be dead not to dance.
The CD release coincides with The
Prime Minsters playing the 2nd Key Rat Reunion in Key Biscayne, Florida
over the July 4th weekend. The reunion is a calling back to the island
of any and all people who ever grew up there. The 2nd Key Rat Reunion encompasses
a wide range of ages and is taken very seriously by the prior inhabitants
of this 3 mile island. [their name was misspelled in the press release,
don't blame us] - Click
