Although no one was injured or arrested during the 7 PM performance, city officials vowed that in the future they would control the festival's entertainment list.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Edgewater Not Robots

PR reports: "We're just trying to find that something new we can be proud of. We are not robots--and rock is not dead." Those are the insightful and profound words of singer Matt Moseman about EDGEWATER, whose aptly titled fourth album, WE'RE NOT ROBOTS�, is due out August 22 on Forevergreen Records (licensed to Rock Ridge Music with distribution by ADA).

From the innovative first single "Caught In The Moment" with its cheerleader refrain to the anthemic "Get It Right" and in-your-face "Rock Is Dead," WE'RE NOT ROBOTS� is a powerful statement of defiance for a band that refuses to compromise. "Caught In the Moment" is being serviced to radio on June 27 although some stations are already spinning it.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
