Show 20

I find it hard to believe and thrilling all the same that I hit show 20 already. My submission pool to draw songs from is a little thin in every way. I have a lot of metal submissions, but lack in everything else. So, on a whim I've done something different this week. I played two new bands, did a review of the first ten shows and then wrapped up with one last new band. I promised that if I didn't get more submissions I'd be doing show 11 to 20 on the next show.


Convicted Killer Scientist
From: St Johns NF
Song: September Sequence
The name " Convicted Killer Scientists " originated from a collection of various newspaper clippings that were glued to the musicians wall during what he refers to as a chaotic time period of excess in his life. Considering himself a student in the school of music, all of his albums are his class projects. With hopes to get feedback and acknowledgement from someone other than himself he's now sharing those class projects with the world.






Vuk Lazar
From: Toronto ON
Song: Echo

 I'm always on the look out for something new.   I enjoy being able to play an eclectic mix of music on the show, and Vuk helped me achieve that this show.  

 *Notes below come directly fom Vuk.
Activity
I have been producing, writing, and singing for about 10 years now. I started to release official singles with labels in 2011 but I am still an independent/unsigned artist based out of Toronto, Canada. So far my releases have mostly been EDM collaborations where I was the featured vocalist and songwriter. However, I am releasing a solo album this year and it will be a unique fusion of electro/ethno/pop. The first single, "Echo" (attached here) has already been released and blogged by a number of prestigious music blogs like TSS, FITA, and The Kollection, among others.  This will be followed by an official music video by the end of summer.  My original songs won numerous competitions at Indaba Music and entered the pre-nomination round of the 2012 Latin Grammys.
Genres
Progressive, Trance, House, Dubstep, Electro, Pop, and RnB.
Collaborators
Louis Botella, Steerner, Tjernberg, Party Killers, Cantoreggi, Diogo Menasso, and Markus Cole.
Labels
Sony Music Sweden, Kontor Records, Ministry of Sound, and LNG Music.
Industry Support
Paul Oakenfold, Robbie Rivera, Markus Schulz, and Roger Sanchez.
Notable Works
"My Time" (by Cantoreggi) was featured on Spotify and has over 250k listens.
"Poison Sound" (with Louis Botella) was played on Canadian FM radio and the official video, shot in Toronto, was included on the Kontor TV Youtube channel, currently sitting at 82k views.
"We Can Fly" (with Party Killers) reached #29 on the hot 100 progressive Beatport charts.
"Wound" has accrued over 480k total views on Youtube.
Other
I am deeply involved in music video production, photography, cover art and develop and manage my own website at www.vuklazar.com. You can find a complete discography there, lyrics, videos, bio, and my EPK (http://vuklazar.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/vl-epk-b-MARCH-2013-ROW-REZ.pdf).

Broken is the bands first release, and was released in May 2013.
Sunday July 21 - playing at Dundas Square for youth day toronto festival.  They perform at 1:30pm


For the review songs I chose songs that I really enjoyed from each show.  Though one show didn't get any songs played as I found it far too hard to pick anything that week.   Maybe one show I'll just do up a mix tape and include stuff from that show.  Who knows.  

We're now 11 months into having my own podcast.  I do all the research, contacting the bands, I host the show and do all the editing.  2 more shows roughly and I'll be into September.  One year show.  Contemplating trying to do something special for that show......   

Any suggestions for the anniversary show?

Insomnia Radio Canada: Show #2

That's right folks I couldn't wait until October to put out show two!  Two weeks.  That's all I could wait.  

 Insomnia Radio Show #2

This show is jam packed full of good tunes!

Ophilia Syndrome

To quote from their web site: 
Ophelia Syndrome is a unique blend of rock, folk, and jazz with a pop sensibility. Hailing from Hamilton, Cambridge, and Toronto ON, OS formed in the winter of 2002, when Trina Nadeau (cello) and Deanna Wells (vocals, and keyboards) met during their studies in the Mohawk College Music Performance program. In 2007 Adrian McFarlane, and Josh Kohler filled out the lineup on drums, bass, and backing vocals.
In 2008, the band entered Catherine North Studios to record their “Shades of Grey” EP with the late Dan Achen and Michael Chambers. In the vein of the singer-songwriter,”Shades of Grey” showcased the bands rare instrumentation, powerful vocals, and seemless ability to traverse and blend genres into their own sound. The EP was released May 2009 and spent 4 weeks on C101 Top 30. OS embarked on several small tours of Southern Ontario in support of the EP, visiting Ottawa, Kingston, Peterborough, Kitchener, Guelph, and Waterloo, as well as playing regular shows in Hamilton, Oakville, and Toronto. OS also appeared at The Cambridge Arts Festival, and as a headliner at The Art of Sound Festival in 2010. Due to the success of ‘Shades of Grey’, OS succesfully fan-funded their debut full length album “All Things Forgotten” through Sellband.com, raising approximately $16,000 in support of the album. The band is a regular top 5 artist on sellaband.com, allowing OS to gain fans globally in Brazil, The UK, France, Germany, Austrailia, New Zealand, and most notably the Netherlands. With hundreds of new expetent fans, 2 years of refined new material, and the addition of Andrew Barbisan on guitar, lap steel, and backing vocals, OS approached ‘all things forgotten’ as a chance to reinvent their experimental sound to deliver a truly memorable album. Blending male and female vocal harmonies, vintage organ, Wurlitzer, and Rhodes keyboards, strings, lap steel, and even muted trumpted performed by Loretta Hale on Long Wait, “all things forgotten” has a haunting and timeless texture. Recorded and co-produced by Michael Chambers at Catherine North, the album was released in Europe in the autumn of 2011, and was followed by the bands first European tour in the Summer of 2012.
I quite enjoyed this group.  Exchanging emails with them before I recorded the show.  They were fantastic to work with and co-ordante things with and I would happily play new material from them if they send it!

Delhi 2 Dublin

To quote the bio on their page: After all…where else are you going to see a kick-ass fiddle player rocking out with a kilt-wearing Korean flanked by two bouncing Bhangra percussionists and a vocalist who looks like he would be at home in a Bollywood music video?

The Town Heroes

Location Halifax, Nova Scotia, Ca

Songs:

  • Shadowman
  • I’ll think about it
Quoting the info page on their web site: The Town Heroes are a Halifax based alt-rock power duo crafting catchy, lyrical, hard-hitting and anthemic songs that sound like a party you wish you were at.  I really wish these guys had more on their web page.  

Panicland

Panicland is a pop punk band from East Kildonan in Winnipeg, Manitoba consisting of Braedon Horbacio, Jason Cumming, and Ian Willmer, all 16 years of age. They first got together in 2007 through a music program at Marschell’s Music. I could hear influences in their music that I would wager came from Greeen Day.  I think these boys have potential and look forward to seeing what they can come up with next. 

Songs

  • Don’t Pretend I’m not useless
  • Look At That

The Natural Shocks

I really couldn't find much out there about this group.  (Hint hint boys, update your sites).  

Members

Jim, Jeff & Andrew

Songs

  • Change
  • Daydream

All Else Fails

From: Edmonton Alberta
BARRETT KLESKO: Vocals, Guitars, Programming
SEEDY MITCHELL: Bass, Vocals
MIKE SANDS: Guitar
SHANE TYM: Drums
To quote their website:
Socially conscious, lyrically poetic, rife with apocalyptic symbolism; All Else Fails is poised to take our world by storm. Playing an aggressively dark blend of Punk, Metal, and Rock, this well established Edmonton based band breaks the traditional ideals of their genre by producing music infused with experimental elements, incorporating Classical music, Electronica influenced synth lines, and spoken word sampling. This is metal for a new audience, one that’s ready for what’s beyond the ordinary.

Songs

  • Seminol Wind
  • I don’t Wanna be me

Two Crown King

Goodchild, Ajay, Scotty, Pat, Jer, and Dick
These guys are from London Ontario.  I discovered them in the spring of 2012, when I mentioned hunting for new indie type bands to a class mate at Fanshawe College.  They had many tour dates this summer and sadly I did not make it to a single show!  I have played some of their songs on the Justin Wayne Show over the summer, and Justin liked this one tune that he played it again.  It's catchy, and I love closing the show with a bang.
Free album on web site

Song

  • We Get Down
So that folks is show number two.   I'd love to get feedback.  I know there's a few sound issues, and I'm still working on those..... And as always I'm looking for more bands, more songs, and working on the next show.
