Debbie Gibson Fears Stalker |
Gibson says Puigdollers has been following her around the country and sending her letters for over six years, but that the obsessive behavior reached a very uncomfortable level after he turned up at her home several times -- and wouldn't leave -- in one week. She says she filed the restraining order because, "I feel my safety is in jeopardy."
Deborah tells us the nut is in his mid-forties, lives in Spain and even left his wife to follow Deb around the country. Good news for his spouse -- not so much for Gibson.

The Adventures of You Me & Iowa |
With complex arrangements combined with catchy melodies and an inspired rhythm section, the five members of You Me & Iowa have been steadily building a rabid following in the greater Los Angeles indie scene since their inception in 2003.

sOuth Plot US Invasion |
Following in the wake of some phenomenal shows at this year's SXSW festival, it's pretty clear that sOuth are looking forward to taking the US by storm. You Are Here is the band's most enticing and captivating release to date and their live show is an ecstatic whirlwind of melody sure to excite any and all musical palates.
Known in part for refusing to make the same record twice, it's no surprise that You Are Here is an obvious departure from albums past, lending itself instead to more carefully orchestrated ballads.

RED i CLAN Take Eastern Europe By Storm With Leaked CD |
A Google search of the band reveals many of these torrents are based in Eastern Europe, specifically countries formerly behind the Iron Curtain. As a native of one of these countries, Sor is not surprised to see the abundance of overzealous fans. He explains, "Due to the harsh social conditions before the crash and burn of communism, Eastern Europe has always been friendlier to underground and trend-breaking music than the Britney Spears culture. I'm glad to know RED i CLAN is among the bands people want to hear."
RED i CLAN focuses much of their energy on the creation of a sound that fans agree is brand new. RED i CLAN music is a mash-up of hard rock energy, electronic style and synth beats. Sor asks that anyone who listens to RED i CLAN's music not compare what they hear against the norm. The band's tenet has always been to "take a chance and risk turning some people off rather than tread on what's been done before. Our music is very different by choice. We're intentionally doing something no-one else does to shake things up."
